Hatters Sandwich Bar in St Edmundsbury

I’m grateful I made the mental note to try this place while I’m still in Bury and the women who work there were so so so chatty and genuine nice people. I went in with no idea what to have, I’m often very picky but today I told them I was leaning towards their cajun chicken and that they could choose the rest! They offered up the best additions, even suggested I get it in a wrap and I was all for it. Totally inexpensive as well, so affordable and I think this is the true selling point for Hatters Sandwich Bar, other than their delicious fresh ingredients of course. Pop in for breakfast or lunch and you’ll be sorted right out :)) I WILL be back to try more variations!!!

We stumbled on this yesterday when looking for some lunch to grab and take to the Abbey Gardens. Its an amazing sandwich shop with lots of choice of breads and fillings. It was all freshly made by the incredibly cheerful and friendly people working there. So good, we went back for more today. It’s on Hatters Street just off of Abbeygate and well worth seeking out.

Very tasty toasties and the lady that served me ( Denise ) was a pleasure to talk too and brightened up my day so thank you for that.

Takeaway only. Great coffee and delicious brownies. Sandwiches etc made to order. Very friendly service

We are so glad we found this place! Exactly what you want from a sandwich shop, loads of choices for lovely fillings & you can pick whatever you want. We just ate our extremely delicious & very well-filled sandwich & bap in the Abbey Gardens. Will definitely come back next time we’re in Bury St Edmunds. Thank you lovely lady!

Simply the best sandwiches in Suffolk (or maybe the universe?) I've had lunch here every Friday for about a decade and it never fails to make my week. Don't miss the brownies!!

Best sausage rolls I've had, staff is nice and service is quick! Fair prices, lots of filling options.

I have recently started working near here...have stopped making my own lunches! Lovely staff, fabulous sandwiches and the best brownies ever!

Fantastic food and very friendly service. Well worth a visit, lots of verity

Very friendly team of people and the sandwiches are excellent.

Excellent selection and friendly service. Got there just as closing, but still happily made 3 sets of fresh sandwiches and drinks.

Great sandwich and friendly service

What lovely food ! We recently ordered a Buffett for a 60th wedding anniversary. The selection of sandwiches were brilliant, so many different varieties and really packed with fillings. The cakes and savouries were amazing, everyone commented on how well they were presented. Great communication from start to finish, would highly recommended and wouldn’t hesitate to use again. Thank you

I got two bacon rolls from here. I was hoping for two fresh bacon rolls but the bacon had already been cooked and was just heated up so it was really dry. The buns were huge though and the portion of bacon was generous.

very friendly staff with a very wide choice of food items which are reasonably priced and of good quality. Happy to recommend.

Lovely summers day in Bury st Edmunds, lunch time came around. Found this fabulous place, tucked down a lane between the butter market and Angel hill. Staff so friendly and helpful, fresh bread and loads of lovely fresh fillings and all great value. Will definitely use again when I'm there, little off the main drag, but only 1 min walk, you should go there, support local, people like this need and deserve you 😀👌

Visiting Bury St. Edmunds and looking for a tasty lunch, Hatters really fitted the bill. Enormous baps, white or granary, filled to bursting, made to request, and delicious home made cakes too. Lovely lunch and lovely staff. Thank you.

Lovely sandwiches every time, sausage rolls are lovely to😁 Try the beetroot and carrot cake, (very nice) just to add prices are very reasonable and customer service is friendly.

Greta friendly service, lovely coffee, delicious sandwiches and scotch eggs 😁

Very tasty sandwiches, cakes and coffee.Definately worth a visit. Also reasonable prices.

Large Tuna Crunch Bap - Excellent value, speedy service and lovely staff

We absolutely love Hatters, our perfect lunch time pit stop! Thank you for all the amazing jacket potatoes keeping us warm x

Great food, and they are mad! Proper friendly little place to get lunch.

You've just lost a customer. I'm trying to support the High St and went in to Hatters for a sandwich, as I did last week, only to be told (abruptly) when I tried to pay with a card that it's a minimum spend of £5. I mentioned that it was ok last week when I used my card only to be told that I must have bought something else, which I didn't. I asked where is the sign saying minimum spend of £5 using a card. I was told (abruptly) "It doesn't" How can anyone providing a customer service think that this is acceptable. I'll go elsewhere from now on, there's plenty of choice

The ladies in Hatters never fail to make me smile...and...the selection of fillings is great for sandwiches, salads, wraps... any combination. And, then there's the pasties, sausage rolls and cakes to temp the discerning diner! All very reasonably priced. Love this little gem of a sandwich shop!

Warm friendly service and great food. I eat here a couple of times a week and find it reasonably priced, good variety. Try out the brownies you won't regret it

Happened upon this place by chance whilst in Bury for a couple of hours. Good choice of baps and baguettes. Plenty of fillings to choose from and all at a reasonable price. Coffee was good too 👍

Fantastic sandwiches and great service

Great people working there! Great food! Good price.

Best sandwhich shop in Bury. Staff are fantastic and service is top class

First time going in today.. The ladies in there are really friendly and handled my extreme indecisiveness effectively! Food was great and had a chocolate orange brownie which I would also highly recommend because it was incredible...

Popped in for a bacon roll and a cup of coffee before hitting the Christmas Fayre. Fast and friendly service and a good price too.

Easily the best sandwich shop in Bury!!

I am writing this review as I’m sitting in Abbey Gardens eating quite possibly one of the freshest and most delicious sandwiches I’ve ever eaten! (I LOVE sandwiches) 🤣 I’m so pleased I stumbled across this place; lovely fresh food, delicious cakes, great value, and simply the best service from two of the friendliest ladies I’ve come across. Local businesses like this deserve recognition. And eco friendly take away cups and bags too...!!!!

The best sandwich shop in Bury by far! The staff are so friendly and the food is always fresh at a reasonable price. Highly recommended

Great sandwiches, prepared to order at a reasonable price. Fresh ingredients, spotlessly clean and lovely staff. What's not to love?

Resable price sandwiches and salad bowls and fresh cakes Nice. .

Great sausage sandwich and very friendly service

Bury St. Edmunds has this superb, reliable and welcoming Sandwich Bar that serves freshly made sandwiches (not pre made) on Hatters Street. The staff are extremely friendly and more than willing to go the extra mile for any requirements. I frequent Bury St. Edmunds on a regular basis and eat in a variety of venues, but this place is one of my top 3 to visit for that very fresh hand made sandwich. If you come to Bury St. Edmunds you must go to Hatters and try the homemade cakes, (they sell out fast!) they are outstanding. Trust me, speak to the local people, they all talk about the peanut butter chocolate brownies.

Daily customer of this fantastic little sandwich shop. They’re that good the local competition are having to close.

I buy my lunch from Hatters daily. Always a brilliant service and the ladies are lovely! Great buns too

This place over the years used to be a great place to stop by during a shopping trip. It is quite a shame that the choice of sandwiches has not moved with the time and quality of bread is so poor.This is like a trip back in the 70's with nothing really exciting. The choice of teas is so poor it is painful The service itself is diabolical with youngsters running around achieving very little for their customers due to their lack of attention.

Lush and lovely food with top service :) one of my favourite places to grab a bite to eat

Best sandwich shop ever. Opens early before work for delicious freshly made sandwiches. They’re inexpensive, friendly and have great flapjacks and other cakes too. What’s more they’re kind to our dog. No other sandwich shop like it.

This is a small shop - but with fast, friendly service. Lovely filled rolls - custom made to order - we had the brie and bacon, delicious and very good value!

Nothing to fault. Value and quality unbeatable

Small but perfectly formed...yummy fresh food made to order.

My colleague & I have been getting our lunch here on a regular basis for several years. The choice & quality of food is excellent & includes homemade soups & cakes but the, ‘icing on the cake’ is the cheerfulness of the staff; the banter is, ‘second to none’. Highly recommended!

Great place to get a generous sandwich with your own choice of delicious filling. Very good value for money. Ideal for a picnic in the park.

Brilliant sandwich shop. I have eaten here for years, always going back for the lovely friendly service and great food!

Top class I’m telling you, it’s the only place to be in the st Edmunsbury 👍🏻

Bread was fresh, sausages not overcooked but sandwich was cut perpendicularly and not diagonally... shocking! Troublemaker

We visit Hatters when we are in town and fancy some lunch, yesterday I had a tuna and salad bap, scotch egg and a Diet Coke, my fiancée had a salmon salad and a bottle of water, we paid £8.20 which is very very reasonable. There's a greggs just up the road but I would go to hatters over anywhere else any day. You would be paying £10-£15 for that amount of food at a chain restaurant. Hatters is small and Independent. Staff are very friendly and they're always busy. Am I surprised? Not at all. Best sandwich shop in town! The carrot cake is amazing too!! 😀😀

Nice little shop Serving lovely takeaway sarnies with a smile Well priced and lots of choice too! Popped in last week to grab some lunch, delicious Met with smiles. Staff were keen to greet and chat with their customers Good place, shall return!

This narrow, busy sandwich bar is the hidden gem of Bury St Edmunds when it comes to lunchtime sandwiches. Food is freshly prepared to order, with a decent range of fillings and breads, salads, hot and cold snacks, Hatters is very popular with local workers and well-researched visitors Monday to Friday.

This is a sweet little cafe bar attached to a small local cinema. Food is good and inexpensive. If you're a member of the cinema the prices are discounted. Staff are friendly. Q

Even when it's busy (which is often) the queue goes down very quickly due to the efficient staff, who are also very friendly. The food is always good.

Very good sandwich shop serving fresh hot and cold snacks, popular with the 'eat at at your desk' brigade, oh, and us tourists!

Good sandwich venue - but - they make the sandwich - so fresh lettuce and tomato and filling - pop your sandwich in a bag - take your cash - give you change - then with out washing hands go straight into making the next one all the time handling the bread and toms lettuce onions etc mmmmmm not really a five food rating - my advice get gloves whilst handling food please - money coins notes are dirty !!!!

Recently visited with family for a quick snack very accommodating especially when I explained my dietery needs

El personal es siempre amable y divertido y los bocadillos son deliciosos. Es un lugar favorito para una buena oferta de profesionales que trabajan en el centro de la ciudad. Mientras la selección llenado no tan ecléctico como podría ser, la calidad y el precio lo compensan. No recomendaría otras tiendas de sándwich en la ciudad.

Personal muy servicial, ubicación decente, a un precio muy razonable. Buena selección, pero siempre lleno así que cabe esperar que esperar.

The Hatters Sandwich Bar is one of three in the same general area of Bury St Edmunds. It provides a very good counter service, but has very limited seating in a bar style arrangement.The shop is in a relatively awkward place to access, being on a one way street with limited parking. This said it seems popular with a fair amount of foot traffic, and judging by the acknowledgements by staff members, a fair few regulars.The positives include really good quality bread. The granary bap I had was very fresh, and was very large. The tuna mayo was average, but the salad portions were very generous and complimented the tuna well. The selection of fillings, and of salad options was more limited than the nearby competitors, but the overall sandwich was as good.All in all this is an above average shop, with professional friendly staff, and a feel of quality. 3.75 of 5.

Situated in a side street near to the centre is the very relaxing cafe/restaurant . We had coffee and cakes which was very good as was the service. Well worth a visit.

Frazzled from shopping with a toddler and our 3 first choices of restaurants full, we went to Hatters and we were glad we had. Nice service , good food,I had the mussels and my husband the soup, which was homemade and our daughter- in- law the hummus, all very good. Our grand daughter had a child's meal which she thoroughly enjoyed and of course did not mind that it was a chicken burger and not the sausage one I had ordered. Nice touch the appropriate size cutlery for Eve. Thank you we will come back.

Found this coffee shop following recommendation from a friend. The sandwich bar has now been extended and there's a coffee shop on the side. Tables and comfy chairs are situated in the front part of the shop whilst out the back there are sofas and more comfy leisure style chairs. We went on a Saturday and were the only ones in the front part (a family were at the back) - clearly it was empty like this because no-one knows about it yet! Service was quick and attentive. Ordered a cappuccino and a mocha, some rocky road and a bakewell tart and it was under £9 - great tasting too. Would thoroughly recommend this whether you are after a quick catch up with a friend or going as a group - surprisingly though, the menu choice of sandwiches and wraps seems somewhat limited (considering it is a sandwich shop!) but I guess they don't want to scare customers off with too much choice. At a guess, they'd pretty much make any sandwich you wanted to order! Check it out.
