Nine Jars Bistro in St Edmundsbury

In the centre of Haverhill, fantastic service and friendly staff members. The HIVE cafe, they have open in the morning must be the best place in Haverhill to grab a coffee 😊. Wonderful atmosphere, and also great place to eat out or enjoy a cocktail or a few in the evenings.

Wow what a lovely hotel amazing staff so helpful. Food wow yummy breakfast included in our room rate. Massive room and on suite at an amazing price. If you are Haverhill or surrounding area this is the place to stay with a car park to the rear thats only 2.80 for 24 hours. Room where so clean and tidy just fantastic thank team The Suffolk Hotel.

Had a lovely coffee and lunch here served by a lovely, helpful waitress. Disability friendly and clean environment.

Not very fast service rather expensive

New-ish to the area and thought to have an anniversary meal here. Absolutely loved the vibe , decor, music, food and the service. The waitresses were amazing all very friendly, attentive and respectful. Lauren who served us was welcoming and was very right on suggesting the glazed Salmon dish. It was delish! Very fresh, tasty and generous food served. My partner had the Dragon Chicken and that too was lovely and well seasoned. We was very touched on the complimentary drink for our anniversary, that was unexpected and considerate. Thank you all for a wonderful evening :) we look forward to coming back to try out the rest of the menu!

Just had a lovely evening here. We have only had drinks here before. We went for our anniversary and were greeted warmly at the door. The bar area is beautifully lit with great music playing in the background. We were served by a lovely waitress called Lauren, who was very friendly and attentive. The food was amazing! Highly recommend the scotch egg starter and dragon chicken, it was delicious. My partner had the glazed salmon, which was equally as nice. The portions were generous and very reasonably priced. We really had a lovely evening and planning to go back and try more dishes :) Highly recommend.

I come in with my family for my granddaughter birthday and treated them to some milkshakes. The waitress who served us didn’t make us feel welcomed and it didn’t seem like she wanted to be there meaning this didn’t make the experience pleasant. They enjoyed the milkshakes however didn’t enjoy the service.

I think it was the Hive which is the cafe part, it took 25mins for a chicken bagel and chips to come out, and the man who brought it to me was rather sweaty and had really yellow fingernails. It wasn’t the best experience i have had.

Dreadful. Could not believe the burnt mess of a bacon and brie panini when it arrived 50 minutes after ordering. Partners meal faired slightly better. Friendly staff tho and fairly decent surroundings. Should try harder to improve food. Lager flat as well. Very sad as doesn’t seem much about in that area.

We had an absolutely amazing experience at a recent 'Bottomless Brunch' ....the food was lovely and the quality of the prosecco and cocktails were really amazing! Staff were really attentive (special mention for Jasmine, who couldn't do enough for us)! Would highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had a wonderful lunch from the new brunch and lunch menu! The staff member who helped us was lovely and let us know about everything on the menu. Would 100% recommend and can’t wait to come back again for dinner and cocktails!

Beautiful place for a social meet and greet with friends and family.

Had some lovely cocktails on Friday night, maybe a few too many. Sophie looked after our table and did a fabulous job of making sure we were topped up. Really friendly, and service with a smile.

Great place to go for a few drinks with friends, Sophie is a great and friendly member of staff. Couldn’t have done enough for us!

Sophie served us and she was lovely!!

Come by from time to time always a good atmosphere Halle is always nice, polite and helpful and the food is great

Had a great time in Nine Jars on Friday evening, Sophie was so friendly and helpful with choosing cocktails and was just a general delight. I then went back for lunch on Saturday, (for an absolutely delicious - very highly recommended the chicken Caesar salad) birthday lunch and Dan came and wished me very happy birthday, and gave me a complimentary cocktail to celebrate - such a lovely touch! Overall a great experience and service :) thanks for a great weekend, Nine Jars!

Lovely weekend, staff were all friendly, went out of their way to help you, We will be returning

Really wish they'd open later for drinks but really nice place. The decoration is amazing!

I go to nine jars once a month for the veteran breakfast . The breakfast is really good for £11 and we all get free tea and coffee. Thanks to the owner/ staff .

Best fish and chips, very friendly staff

Very great experience halle has been phenomenal on every visit I've had

Went here for lunch last week. Not the best food I've had, toasted sandwich was hard and sausages not very warm so took them out, ordered chips but didn't get many, the lunch was quite expensive too. The place is very nice, won't eat here again but will go in for a cocktail maybe. Staff nice and friendly.

I Come into Ninejars occasionally with my partner. And always get served with a smile by “Halle”. She’s very friendly and with a smile on her face. Nothing is ever too much trouble.

Absolutely annoyed that we had a group of 10 who travelled far to go to nine jars . The bar shuts at 11:30 but staff tried shutting at 10 so they can go home even though we already spent over £300 and we got served out last orders to which we could not even drink due to rude door man asking us to leave straight after buying last orders ! Not impressed!

Came in here for lunch, had a pulled pork cabano sandwich, the pork was just a lump of sogginess, the fries were awful just tasted of oil for £4 a portion is ridiculous and the tortilla chips that were served with our meals were stale and had no flavour. The service was good though disappointing unfortunately overpriced for what it is.

Lovely to have the tapas menu back which we enjoyed. We were really looking forward to a dessert but unfortunately when we tried to order we were told that the kitchen had closed, which we didn't expect before 9 on a Friday. Maybe next time.

Lovely warm atmosphere as soon as you walk in. Food is incredible, especially the limoncello tiramisu ( please never take it off the menu) the staff are friendly and welcoming and love that we can bring our dog if we want to. Can't wait to return to try more!

come down tonight for the bottomless deal and the food was amazing! it come out lovely and hot and there was plenty between us all! cocktails was none stop flowing and we had a lovely girl( abby) who was polite, cheerful and a friendly smile who was serving us tonight there was also another young lady,brunette, who did very well making sure our table was cleared and giving us the food. would come again!!

I travel to Suffolk for my tattoos from Staffordshire and ended up having to stay overnight . Can’t say about the rooms as I stayed in a local b&b as was much cheaper however I came here for food and drink during the evening as I saw it on my last appointment and my artist said it was a nice place to go. The cocktails are lovely and 2 for 1 all day , I ordered nachos and Mac and cheese food was lovely nice relaxed atmosphere great music and the girl who served me sorry I don’t know your name she has dark brunette blackish hair and was working 17/10 between 19:00-20:00 at night - was absolutely lovely, very friendly service with a smile 10/10 Thankyou for making me feel welcome in your little town

We were staying in the hotel and had a voucher for an evening meal as well. The music was a bit too loud and it was very dark, we could only just about read the menu. Our starters were delicious, I had breaded prawns and my wife had calamari. The first two things my wife chose as a main were unavailable so we both ended up with the burger. At £17.95 we thought they would be something special, unfortunately they were not. There was no flavour to them at all, it just tasted of mince! Mine was just about cooked but the one my wife had was virtually raw and she left most of it. I'm not sure if the hotel or 9 jars who do the breakfast but it was awful. Waited about 40 minutes for it to come out. It was pretty horrible, the sausages had a very strange taste and were pretty shriveled up and the hash browns were not cooked properly, they were nearly still frozen in the middle.

Post holiday meal, pizza topping too thick and clumpy, rocket salad on small plates and pizza was limp and did not deserve to be put out for human consumption. This was mentioned to the waitress who didn’t really seem to have an opinion.

Great service, nice friendly staff, good atmosphere

Great atmosphere and lovely memories 🥰

Friends 40th birthday brunch. Food took ages. Breakfast 20 beans on plate and frozen hash brown. Nachos cold and stuck in a lump. Macaroni lumped together. Asked for manager. Offered us free bottle of fizz which we paid for day before. Not a place for friends and no special service. Memorable for all the wrong reasons. Weatherspoons beats this.

Not good that they do not take cash. If I had known I would have given it a miss. Only had one drink.

So, we were on our way to Gatwick on the M11 and I saw Haverhill on a signpost and thought "we're hungry, and I've always wanted to go to Nine Jars." A friend's son works there and she's forever banging on about what a good employer they are, and I figured that's a rare thing these days, and have long promised to show them a bit of custom. It's clean, it feels trendy, but not *too* trendy for someone in the grip of mid-life like myself. The food is just amazing, and there's a fine array of beers too. Whilst away on holiday we ticked off another restaurant off the bucket list, the famous Dinosaur BBQ in NYC. It's no word of a lie to say Nine Jars was better. Just go, you won't regret it.

I have started going here as the burgers are the best in the area. Just to make life more difficult they've taken away table numbers and stopped mobile ordering. It comes as a great shame they have stopped offering deserts which is a great shame. Service wasn't as good either, you can't order at a small bar at the start of the seating Area going in. You now have to go to the main bar. So you can't see where you are sitting. I will be going back, but a couple of changes has made it more difficult especially for disabled people. This makes it more difficult to tell them where you are seating and staff finding you.

A good Vegan Menu & really friendly welcome - nothing seemed to much of a problem & food was really good. Only downside is Card Only payments - just a shame they’ve done that 😢

I was visiting my mum on an overnight stay near to Haverhill, Suffolk. I had know where to stay, so I searched for a hotel, this one came up. The hotel is very well situated in Haverhill, just off the high street, queen street, parking is available at the rear for a reasonable price, 24hrs. Entrance to the hotel after hours is via the rear, which was lit at night. The room I stayed in was room 10 st Mary’s suite, This is a very spacious room, kitchen, toilet/shower, double bedroom and a spacious living quarters. The hotel was very clean. Perfectly situated to the centre of town. However, the morning after I had missed the seating town for breakfast. James was in charge in the morning, he made me my breakfast, full English breakfast with all the trimmings. This was greatly appreciated, he was very professional, very polite and generous, he didn’t need to do what he did, therefore he went above all expectations, great bloke, thank you Nick

Poor service, poor food with profit before product unfortunately. Incorrect orders and not for the first time. Unfortunately there is no completion in Haverhill at all during lunchtimes.

Nice and friendly place to visit if your in the area. 2 for 1 cocktails are a lil confusing considering they give you 2 of the same .. would of been nice to be offered them separately instead of having 2 at a time as my partners second drink melted before she got around to drinking it so it went to waste.

I went here for a meal in January there was only 2 of us and 3 other tables in the restaurant. I ordered my first option ( duck noodles) the waitress came back and said that was unavailable. Ordered my 2nd option (fish & chips) the waitress came back and said that was unavailable too !! We should’ve been made aware of what was available when we first sat down. Once we had finished our first course, they took our plates away and didn’t ask if we wanted more drinks or to look at dessert menu. We was sat for ages before anyone come over to us. Poor food options and slow service.

Nine Jars has a nice atmosphere. Cocktails are expensive for what they are.

It was OK took a while for the waiter / server to see us. Although we stood right in front of counter. The girl staff where quicker to act and we got a cuppa. Nice spacious rooms able to talk. Never been here before but would give it another go

First week they opened I tried to visit and grab a drink with some friends, for absolutely no reason I wasn’t allowed in, but my older friend was instantly. When I tried again to visit my friend inside I was confronted by the owner who accused me of being drunk in front of multiple customers. If they don’t want to accept my money then I simply won’t give them any. I assume the place is suffering from an identity crisis, trying to appeal to an upper class customer in a town that doesn’t have that clientele. Also heard some shocking tales of how some staff are treated. Would avoid at all costs. According to the owners response I am apparently banned since 2016, after the way I was treated by the owner, I am very proud of that knowledge.

My partner took me here on Sunday. The brunch menu had a great choice. I could have chosen a few things. I had a full English Breakfast. It was absolutely delicious. They offer alternative milks. I had an almond latte. It was amazing. The staff were really polite and friendly. The decor and atmosphere is lovely inside. The prices are fair and we’ll definitely be back.

Starters ok. Main courses a disaster ! Out of 3, 1 was the wrong order, 1 Ribeye steak was so overcooked and dry it was inedible, served with mushrooms so dry i couple eat them .1 was ribs so tough my daughter took them home to cook some more and add sauce! Manager comped 1 meal but it was so disappointing for a special meal! VERY dissatisfied

Well very nice service. Nice lunch. Ordered coffee's which were dearer than on menu. £4 instead of £2.50. Told it was a misprint. Would NOT HONOUR MENU. Last time in Nine Jars. Customer Service yuck. Not blaming staff.

If you’re in or near Haverhill, UK stop in at Nine Jars for brunch. They offer a 2/1 deal until 11 am and the food is absolutely terrific. My wife (a vegan) enjoyed the Garden Brunch complete with pico de gallo, avocado, roasted red peppers, spinach and a vegan protein. Completely beautiful to look at and very delicious. I gulped down the NJ brunch full of sausage, bacon, fried eggs, baked beans, tomatoes, and toast. Everything was so good I had a difficult time deciding which of the foods I wanted as my last bite. Great food, atmosphere, and very reasonable

Tackiest place I’ve ever been to, the frozen calamari rings will break your jaw, and the manager is really unprofessional when you make a complaint.

Best roast dinner we have ever had in a restaurant! Amazing. The minted veg, the pickles cabbage, the tender meat - it was to die for. The staff were lovely and the drinks great . Dog friendly as well so it was lovely to bring our dog in with us. High chairs for babies too. We will be back!

Unfortunately this place only allows children until 6PM, so you can’t go for family dinner as you need to leave soon…

Lovely spacious suite! Tasty food and options for variety’s! Breakfast had variety’s as well! Had the tastiest Mac and cheese ever! Well seasoned and cooked steak! Good customer service! Ever need to lodge in Suffolk/Cambridge…. Nine Jars is the place!

The set up of this place has changed. A brightly lit front seating area and a looser lit issue. It did take a little while to order. I think they were low on staff. Usually they do a tapas menu but it looks to me...

Lovely place for a good meal! Was first served by a very friendly server named Megan who catered to every need with a big smile. Drinks came almost instantly and food came just as quick lovely and hot and cooked perfectly. Our server Megan said the chefs name was Jamie! Will most definitely be returning& hoping for the same amazing service. Thank you Nine Jars!

Nice lunch great place for catchup, wasn’t to busy for a friday lunchtime Served quickly food hor Thank you

Place is nice but using a Taste Card just realised I have been grossly overcharged for the past 4 visits. Not fair to me as a customer and feels shoddy. Nothing wrong with the food and drink and just a shame as this has tainted the experience.

We recently hired Nine Jars to host a 40th birthday party, and had such a great night! The staff were amazing - nothing was too much trouble, the hot buffet was delicious and the cocktails superb. To top it all off we stayed in one...

We came to Nine Jars to celebrate my husband’s birthday. It happened to be burger night so we took advantage of the offer of 2 for 1 and we wasn’t disappointed. We chose the dirty burgers and they were quite simply the best burgers I’ve...

Lovely hot chocolate with honeycomb & marshmallows + some subtle music playing in the background for my wife & I. Very relaxing…..

Had a really fantastic meal at nine jars my steak was cooked to perfection so a special mention to Jamie .staff were very helpful to and nothing was to much trouble .looking forward to the next visit

This whole evening was amazing. Food was fantastic, service was phenomenal, and the atmosphere was so comforting to be in. Staff was so friendly, I would highly recommend coming here. I’ve been here before a few times and every time was exceptional. Amazing place, 100%...

Food was good albeit the steak wasn't as warm as I like, but well cooked, beer was a bit pricey though

After enduring some rather questionable Hotels, it was a pleasure to open the door to a fantastic room. Large, clean and well presented, with a comfortable bed and a generous walk in shower. The coffee machine was also a welcome surprise! The evening meal was...

My first visit to nine jars...... and my last, i was welcome by a lovely smile from a beautiful waitress..... my experience went down from there sadly, i was served a tea which was in a dirty pot and not really very hot, my milk jug was chipped right on the pouring bit which worried me incase the chipped bit was in my tea.., no spoons given just a wooden stirrer for my tea which i felt was more fitting to a motorway cafe, and before any one says "it cos of covid" I think wooden stirrers left on a table alday for anyone to touch is more of a risk but that's just my opinion, i ordered a NJ brunch and so did my partner, the toast wasnt toasted and my sausage was pink and under cooked but by then i had eaten half of it.. cant wait for the long toilet visit later today, the eggs very undercooked... but we ploughed on as we felt maybe the breakfast would get better..... the bacon was hard and over cooked and there was so much of what i can only decribe as "tiny hard bits with no flavour like a cheap bitty pepper" all over it so it almost crunched on every bite... but still everywhere cooks things differently so i pushed aside the undercooked bits and settled on the pale toast. I also noticed the servers didnt tie their hair back? I've earned and very decent living for many many years being a waitress but in all of my restaurants strick hand washing and hair being tied up was mandatory but again different places do things differently but i think the bit that got me most is when a passing visiting dog came in and the servers were petting it and cuddling it not one of them washed their hands when going back to service... I mean a dog shouldn't have even been in a restaurant let alone servers stopping mid service to pet it right?.. so in all not a great experience for the expense of 2 small breakfasts and 2 drinks then they only took card not cash which seemed alittle pre covid when we are very much post covid ain't we??? Not the best experience but not the worst on my quest to find the perfect breakfast. Il wait paitently for my scathing response but i do have pictures of my undercooked food and other complaints should the owner want to see them 😊

Lovely little hotel with modernised rooms in the heart of Haverhill. Park next store in the Swan Car Park £2.80 per day. Restaurant and bar were great , small but good wine list and some nice beers and cocktails from the bar. Comfortable stay and...

Lots of tables food was served quickly but did not all come as per Menu had to ask for bread and oil. Weekend young person pub with doorman on . Music load at weekend.

As this is my first visit and what I've heard I was expecting something nice, how wrong was I, I had a wooden stirrer for my coffee. Then my breakfast came, it looked very nice, till I tried it, it wasn't hot, the eggs was a little snotty, then a dog came in, and the servers was all cuddling it, when it left they carried on serving, without any washing of there hands, so dog hair on their cloths and hands, and in the breakfast of the man after the dog left. And the hair of the server's was long and not tied up.

I have been a couple of times as I thought I couldn’t have a bad experience that often. But the amount of time it takes to get a drink is incredible. Last time myself and my wife left as it took so long. I’ve also...

Came in today for the new Sunday roast menu at Nine Jars. Easily could say one of the best roasts we have had out. The food was delicious and flavourful, well presented and generously plated. Couldn’t recommend highly enough for anyone looking for somewhere to...

Such a Lovely ‘vibe’ coupled with great food and great service. We love our brunch’s at nine jars. The NJ brunch is awesome and fantastic value too given their 2 for 1 offer before 11.

Good pub for you to visit pleasant staff and a good menu to choose from.

Just wanted to say how perfect our private party was. Although the event was a sad occasion for our family, the items we bought to decorate and personalise was space was laid out beautifully. We spoke with Lauren and James in the weeks leading up...

Very nice visit, as usual! Staff were all very polite and friendly, food was delicious, great atmosphere, tasty drinks! Makes you forget you’re in haverhill! Great place.

Delicious food and friendly service. 👍

Took my daughter & grandaughter for breakfast Saturday morning. The service was appalling and it wasn't even busy. Waited 40 mins for a bottle of J20 after asking 4 times for it. Breakfast was luke warm and we had no cutlery, again had to ask twice. No apologies. Then we were over charged by £11.00 and had to wait for a refund. Very disappointed!

Just been for lunch with family, lovely food, friendly staff. Very reasonable price wise x

Great place for lunch and nice atmosphere

The decor is fab I dustrial but modern chairs are super comfy, great food choices, reasonably priced

Visited Nine Jars for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Staff were very welcoming and we started off with the most delicious Porn Star Martini I've ever tasted. Well done to the young bartender, who also made a gorgeous Mai Tai and Strawberry Daiquiri. 🍓 and...

Lovely food, friendly staff, nice ambience. Highly recommend.

Me and my partner love tapas and cocktails so this couldn't have been more perfect for us! We were just in the area using a glaming stay and wanted to find somewhere to go for a nice meal/food. This was simply some of the food...

I had the best Gluten Free brunch/breakfast ever!! It’s difficult eating out as coeliac and whilst it wasn’t advertised as such they provided a full GF breakfast and nothing was too much trouble. Top service today too. Thank you!

Love their breakfast and Tapas, relaxed atmosphere and nice staff. Lovely that they're doing live music again.

Went on Sunday for breakfast and was completely appalled at the service and food received . I went with 3 other people, 2 of which are vegetarians and when asking for bacon to be swapped with a fried egg we were told it was impossible and the boss had full blank refused to do it, saying we had to pay an extra £1 (making pancakes and a fried egg a £9 meal!!) After then placing our order, 15 minutes after ordering we were told that they could only fulfil 2 out of the 3 dishes! I was appalled they made us wait so long to tell us after ordering, surely this was communicated sooner than making us wait so long!! The waitress then reminded us that although they couldn’t fulfil our order, they were still refusing to swap the bacon for eggs on another dish! I changed my order and shortly after everyone else’s food was brought out, I was sat there waiting Another 5 minutes passed and the waitress came over to say they’ve ran out of ciabatta and only have bread (AGAIN why such a delay communicating this!!) so I requested bread Another 5 or so minutes passed and everyone else has finished their dish and mine was finally brought out. However after specifying no mushrooms, there were mushrooms in the sandwich. When I pulled the waitress over to complain she took the plate of me and said “I’ll go take them out for you”. When I’m paying £8/£9 for a meal I expect it cooked fresh again, not having the cook or whoever scrapping things out of a meal!! The sandwich was completely and utterly disappointing anyway, I expected more than white hovis bread paying the prices they charge and definitely a better meal After coming here quite a bit for breakfast and the tapas menu I can easily say I won’t be coming back anytime soon! Completely and utterly disappointed in both food and service

My husband and I decided to have a board game party, with buffet at Nine Jars this last weekend. We are frequent customers, visiting at least once a week, but this was different and was to celebrate my 50th birthday and my husband's 60th. They...

Been here so many times now and never been disappointed, friendly staff, great atmosphere and the food and drinks are amazing 10/10 recommend. The chorizo was particularly impressive 👌

We really enjoyed our lunch at Nine Jars. Quite a good range for vegetarians but what's the best about this place is super friendly staff!

Went along tonight and tried the slider offer - 2 sliders, bottomless slaw and fries all for very reasonable price. The food was delicious and servers were so lovely. Will be going back The 2 for 1 cocktails were great too Thank you nine jars...

Great food and drink and all the staff were helpful and welcoming.

A booked afternoon tea included sandwiches, s complete lack of gluten free options, and staff confusion over what 'afternoon tea' should include (there was no actual tea until people started ordering it, only to be charged and later refunded when they said it was included). That said, the venue is well presented and the staff are very friendly and welcoming.

Great quality and really good value for money! We’ll be back time and time again. Highly recommend the NJ Brunch and looking forward to trying the tapas on our next visit

Wonderful, had a special birthday celebration with family (large family). Looked after us brilliantly, nothing was too much, went the extra mile, fab food, staff were outstanding. Definitely recomend.

Took my son here for breakfast in his 18th birthday today. Staff assisted in advance for balloons and requests and everything was set up for our arrival. Food was delicious and cooked to perfection, waiting staff attentive without being intrusive and my son loved his...
