The Cadogan Ingham in St Edmundsbury

Lovely food, great staff, nice atmosphere

Unfortunately had a very cold reception. 5 of us arrived at 11.50am for a table booking at 12pm. The door was locked so we knocked on the door. The door was opened and we explained that we had arrived for our 12pm booking. We were told that the pub does not open till 12pm. We asked whether we could just sit inside as it was very cold outside. The response was and I quote, "No you cannot!". There was no explanation as to why it was not possible. One of our party was allowed inside to use the toilet but the rest of us stood freezing outside. I guess you will not be surprised that we cancelled our booking and found an extremely welcoming pub in Bury St Edmunds. We have been to the Cadogan on many previous occasions and should have learned that the brusque service is indicative of why they are in business. We will not return.

Had Sunday lunch here with family It was fantastic Would throughly recommend.

Great menu and food always nicely cooked. Service is very kind. Is not like your usual pub, very nice atmosphere especially when the fireplace is on. The sunday roast was great, but all the other dishes I have had have been great as well. Only downside Id say is I think drinks are slightly overpriced but just my opinion.

Brilliant service and really nice interiors! Brilliant with kids, for menu, facilities and even toilets! Can thank them enough

Well that was a great find. Been really difficult to find a restaurant in or around bury st Edmunds that does a decent Sunday lunch. Absolutely fabulous. Compliments to the chef. Service was exceptional too. Our new ‘go to’ place.

Good reception from staff with excellent service, haven’t eaten yet there but good atmosphere. Will be back

Delicious Sunday lunch and the service was fantastic. Baby and kid friendly and a really good children's menu too.

I've stopped here again from work for 3 reasons, 1, the staff, brilliant, attentive, professional, personable, polite. 2, the steak, perfect, stunning, delicious, 3 the beer, the pale ale is delicious. So some context, I'm here with work, I could have easily stayed at a fancy golf club, somewhere different, but when you find a place to sleep and eat that is as close to perfect as you could wish for, you go back, right ? Lovely place, great food, great staff, great beer. Simple.

Lovely place to stop off for dinner en route to a wedding in the area. Staff were really polite and attentive. The food was very good and well presented. No idea if it’s a good location, but seems very popular.

Every time we go here,the food and the service never disappoints

Fabulous meal, great value, delightful staff, own craft beer. What a find on a Sunday night after a long walk. I tip my hat 😊

Went for a meal not to stay. Light, airy and tastefully decorated with very pleasant outdoor area. Food was reasonably priced and good quality. Staff very pleasant.

Stopped in here last Saturday lunchtime for a bite to eat with my good wife, the food was lovely (had the mackerel salad) and the service i would have given 6 out of 5 if I could. Will call again.

Fine dining and a pleasing atmosphere. Well worth a visit

Faultless. Food was delicious. Generous portions including the meal for our 1 year old son. Service was great. Lovely outdoor area for children to play.

Great food and - just as important - excellent service. We arrived a bit bedraggled from a wet 30 miles cycling and received a warm welcome from a young manager who, from that point onwards, treated us very well. In fact both the staff who served us were very good at their jobs. Polite, professional, friendly and communicated well with two old codgers probably 4x their ages! Haddock and chips (substantial portions) cooked and presented to perfection. Faultless food and service. What a lucky village to have such a pub / restaurant (decor lovely too).

Surprise 80th birthday celebrations for my mum. I can honestly say from start to finish all was excellent. Jack, Matt and the team certainly delivered.

We had our wedding reception here and had an excellent experience. Our venue host, Matt, and all the staff worked exceptionally hard to ensure the booking, meal arrangements, preparation, and everything on the day went smoothly. The restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere, and the garden is fully enclosed. However, small children need to be supervised on the play area.

My Sister in law had her wedding reception here and the service and the food was fantastic. The garden is great as it is completely enclosed so the youngsters could run around without parents worrying.

We went lat Monday (Bank Holiday) and everything was perfect!! Starters mains and especially service. Great to see a young crew work so well together. You are all a credit to whoever trained you. We will be back!!

Favorite dish missing. Otherwise very good.

Only stopped by for a drink but pub was comfortable & friendly. Will try a meal next visit!

Just popped in for a few drinks very hot day

Lovely looking place, Spacious areas, Welcoming staff, Wonderful food, Great service, Well worth a visit.

We visited the Cadogan for lunch - food was beautifully prepared, very tasty and good value for money. Staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming. Their garden would be lovely in the summer - they have a play area for younger guests too!

Great service and meal. We hadn't booked but they still found a space for us. Belly pork roast was particularly good.

These guys are always my first stop when I head down to visit my buddy who lives nearby- really cozy pub with excellent characters as wait and bar-staff!

Great food, great service, a generally great place to eat

Excellent meal work helpful, knowledgeable, friendly staff

Group of eleven of us met here for a meal. Very good service. We were put in the conservatory which suited us fine. They handled the large group well with food coming out hot and all together.

We went for family birthdays, met up there as we are all spread out. Lovely place, we all opted for the Sunday roast and it was amazing with the biggest portions of veg brought to the table!! All was piping hot and great quality, will definately be our designated meet up place from now on 😊

Recently attended a wake here and stayed one night. On booking over the phone, we were not told they do not serve breakfast, also we were not told to settle our bill the night before departure, as no one is about until midday.....and no one answered the phone! Nice room..... although toilets could do with a deep clean, nice food, but a definite lack of communication.....and I really can't understand why a hotel doesn't provide breakfast.....wouldn't stay again because of this.

My wife and I shared the 32oz sharing 32 dry ages rib eye. We were advised there would be a 40 minute wait before ordering. We went at lunchtime, and whilst I didn't time it, it felt that it arrived between 20-30 mins. On arrival it was worth the wait. Cooked to perfection with skinny chips and sauces accompanied by a side of onion rings. Onion rings were some of the best I've had. Overall we were thoroughly satisfied with the meal. If it was closer and we didn't have children, I'd go more often. We couldn't drink due to driving, but have drank there before. It's part of the Brewshed chain which is local to Bury St Edmunds and have some really good local craft beers. If you want a good meal and drinks then I highly recommend it.

Fantastic evening at the Cadogan. Fantastic service, creative menu's, friendly and professional staff. Another one of the group's fantastic locations.

After a funeral. Buffet wonderful

First time here, food was good and plenty to choose from

A nice place enjoyed a lovely starter and a pricey steak didn't stay at the hotel. I plan to try the roast in the future.

Had a family meal here for 12. We had preordered. The service was excellent and friendly staff helped us enjoy the occasion from start to finish. Loved the atmosphere. Food was brilliant. Will be repeating the visit again.

Disappointed that yet another business is refusing to take cash payments. The customers are paying the higher costs of bank transactions. Reduce the bank charges and accept cash. I only visited the bar.

Lovely food, great staff, highly recommend

Hallo ,cozy atmosphere, clean and tidy! Very nice staff/service. The food and the beer are delicious. I had a nice stay .Best regards

Today we held a family get together 15 of us for a sit down meal From beginning to end it was fantastic The staff were brilliant timing was perfect The assistant manager was just incredible in his ability and attitude, The quality of the food was off the scale several people saying the steak was the best they had ever had Well done to everyone involved

Never disappointedwith the food and service.

Best food and service you will find in Suffolk

A 4* hotel with truly 5* service. I booked a VERY VERY last minute room while travelling along the A134 and the team were so accommodating and helpful, ensuring I had a dinner and drink waiting for me when I arrived so I didn't miss the kitchen closing. Really grateful for this brilliant hotel / pub.

All veg served in one bowl roast potatoes way to large not very well roasted belly pork not crispy meal not so good this occasion shame

Great dinner at the Cadogan. Absolutely delicious steaks - charred on the outside, rare on the inside. Very good service and a wonderful meal. Highly recommended

Fantastic food delivered with excellent service.

Its such a lovely setting, a warm and friendly welcome from the staff, we had a lovely table for two in the window the sun broke through the rainy gloom. Water in an engraved bottle, and wines galore, we were recommended the South African Pinot Noire a really great choice. The staff kindly made us the lamb dish from the night time menu, it was very delicious, pink, with some fat attached, saddle back potatoes, lovely carrots and the lamb cooked to perfection. I'm sure if we had asked for some mint sauce it would have appeared. Other dishes we noticed, cod cheeks, apple crumble on and on. We had more wine and coffee. Well worth the trip, its on the dinner menu for a few weeks, more, they made it especially for us, so thrilled, so ruddy yummy.

Great food at a fair price. Service is excellent. We'll worth a visit.

Wonderful place for a delicious and relaxed Sunday lunch with friends. Staff were attentive and worked out what my friend who has an intolerance to onion and garlic could happily eat with no problems at all. We also had a great bottle of Georgian white wine which we had never tried before.

Food and service here great.Had the best risotto

Booked on a whim. Will definitely be returning. Staff, so helpful, so kind. Food....what could I say....Well let's just stick to pretty darn amazing. A hidden Gem.

Amazing food, easily and without fuss catering to our specific dietary requirements. The team literally went out of their way to ensure we had what turned out to be, one of the best meals out we have all had in a very long time. Every single member of staff we met was super friendly, professional and genuinely lovely. The atmosphere and decor are welcoming and tasteful. What a wonderful evening we had!

Wonderful dining experience. Staff was so patient serving us during a busy period whilst my guest and I did some catching up and neglecting to order. Thoroughly enjoyed the food. Would like to visit again if I am in this area again.

Lunched here yesterday and it's a lovely restaurant. Very welcoming service, nice environment and importantly food was spot on. Rib eye steaks were top quality, really melted in the mouth.

Great steak. Sparse trimmings. Wife's haddock dry and boring. Frozen? Service adequate. One waitress totally unsmiling. Initial drink order taken at bar which we then had to carry to our table. Scraps of food under tables. We were first to eat . Table not properly wiped. Had to ask for irritating and unnecessary piped to be turned down. Whiny dog at closeby table . Expensive. But my streak was very good. We've been going to Cadogan Arms for over 50 years!

Having been let down in a big way at another place I called the Cadogan on the day before the event. It was a 60's band get together with people coming from all over the country and abroad. They fitted us in but bear in mind there were 17 of us. They could not have been more helpful! They set up a long table in an area where we would not disturb other guests and everything was brilliant. Food was first class and we enjoyed a memorable day. A million thank you's to the Cadogan and staff and we will be back next year!!

Lovely restaurant friendly staff

Cannot comment on the hotels or rooms as we didn’t stay here, however we did come for lunch at around 2pm on Friday, and came back for Sunday roast after reading all the good reviews. The food was really good on both visits. I had the whitebait starter and 16oz bone in sirloin on Friday, and my wife had the duck Bon bons to start, and the 9oz Rump for main. Both our meals were very good. For dessert I had the cheeseboard and a very larger glass of port, and my wife had the Passionfruit Eton mess, which were both very nice. On Sunday we both had the very highly rated and recommended beef roast, which was incredible, and we both had the same desserts as we had on the Friday. Be sure to ask for extra crackers with your cheeseboard as it only comes with 6, which wasn’t enough for me personally. All in all a lovely’s pub / restaurant, with very friendly staff, and amazing food

Disappointing visit, we have walked here many times since living in Culford a neighbouring village. Whilst we have had a mix response on occasions we have always managed to eat here even if we've had to wait a couple of hours, no issue when walking! But on this occasion we arrived on a Sunday having checked how long they served until (5pm). We arrived at 2.30pm with quite a few people seen leaving as we walked in. There were tables a plenty to chose from, but walked in behind another family, that also looked to have walked, they were turned away saying they were fully booked. I then asked if we could have food only to be told the same, very dismissively. Looking around at many empty tables I persevered and asked if they could fit us in. The younger bar person seemed uncertain, but the older young lady asked if we had booked to which I said no, we were told there was no room. The younger of the bar staff then said they could offer us crisps and drinks. We then walked home and drove to the Masons Arms in Bury St Edmunds only to be welcomed and sat at a table immediately, yet they seemed just as busy.

This was the best food of our visit. Staff were friendly. Highly recommend you check it out. We will be back.

Excellent food from equally good staff. Friendly, comfortable and great twist on the usual burger theme.

Really friendly staff, brilliant location just outside bury st Edmunds.

Came for lunch today as we were doing some walks in the area. The staff were very pleasant, and the food was sooo good! We often find eating out disappointing but it was delicious. 10/10

Went here for lunch and then again for dinner, a really good place to go! Lovely staff, good food, good drinks... Much better than their local competitor The Elveden Inn! That place is awful!

Nice food, good portions. Nice staff and lovely pub with beer garden.

Called in during a Suffolk driving tour thanks to Trip Advisor reviews .... Warm welcome and (according to my husband), excellent real ale! We each enjoyed a light lunch in the form of two delicious starters, the chilli beef & squid with noodles and pea velote with hash brown and egg. Lovely garden setting, shame we don't have opportunity to come back for evening meal as the menu looks fab

We have been here twice. Just excellent food and service. Vegetarian good options and really tasty steak. Extra ordinary

Stopped in for a meal while traveling. What a great find. Very pleasant staff who were happy to advise on the menu, even checking with the chef if our request was possible. We both chose different dishes. Both nicely prepared and tasted great. If we are passing again or in the area we would happily return.

Just popped in to get some take out beers, very tempted to go back for a meal and a pint!

Fantastic food, perfectly cooked. We found the staff to be knowledgeable about the food. They tired their best to accommodate our requests and were able to explain why when one request wasn't possible. They checked back with us that the food was perfect. When I had finished my drink we were asked if we wanted more. Overall a perfect experience

2, service was slow choice of rose wine until going to the bar myself as no wine list on the table. Some staff very rude. They said I’m glad she’s gone

Great service, nice bar & garden with good food selection

My friend took me, my first time there and I thought it was very nice. Staff friendly and good was good. Will probably visit again 😊

Great Sunday lunch - roast options were fab, but also happy vegetarian guest! Puddings were tasty and also a lovely cheeseboard option. Friendly and efficient staff.

We didn't stay over so can't comment on the accommodation, but we ate here twice over the last 2 weeks and had a really wonderful experience both times. Food was consistently good, but the service we received here has outshone all the other restaurants/pubs we have eaten at during our time in Bury St Edmunds. Staff are knowledgeable, friendly, unobtrusive and on the ball. We think they should be training all the other restaurant staff in the area :-)

Safe to say that we found our new favorite spot for Sunday roast. The reviews about the beef roast are not exaggerated at all. It was everything!! We plan to come back soon to try the pork belly. The sourdough was soft and delicious as a starter and we finished our meal with the ice cream trio. Also delicious!! Excellent quality. We’ll be back soon! Highly recommend.

Lovely dog friendly pub/restaurant. Nice staff. Excellent food. Good selection of drinks at bar. Easy parking. Highly recommended.

Food and drink review: have been for food here a few times recently and it never fails to impress. The service is high quality with just the right amount of attention. The food is consistently very good. Most recently I had the octopus starter and the steak for main. Both dishes were very tasty and I highly recommend.

Had a lovely lunch here with my two sisters ( ladies who lunch). We were served by a lovely young man who couldn’t do enough for us. We complicated matters by one of us having a gluten allergy but there was something for them. I had a great trout dish while the others had the tempura veggies. Nice that the veggie options weren’t just cheese based. Spoilt a bit by the meringue desert but all very nice. Would recommend.

Stopped for a quick luch break at the Cadogan and honestly, never usually write reviews for a quick stop like this but thought the staff needed a metion as they were exeptionally attentive and helpful. My wife and I each had a Panino which were tasty but the overriding impression I got from our visit was the service.

Always an excellent and filling meal from a superb menu!

Only dropped in for a drink. Amazed to find two traditional bitters on the bar. Brewshed best bitter was superb. Feels more like a place to eat than a pub but beer was superb

Charming staff, delicious affordable food & pleasant venue. Plenty of menu options. Good portions - not too much, but enough.

Better than I remember - wonderful food in a delightful setting!

Was just having a drive around and came across the cafogan stopped and had a meal and I'm glad I did staff, food, place was just 10 out of 10, I would recommend this place to everyone

We have been going to the Cadogen for a couple years now, and it’s amazing. Delicious food and service, ambiance is great and so is the garden out back.

Absolutely 5 star experience. We are staying locally at Forest Holidays and we were keen for a Sunday lunch on Father’s Day. Thetford did not offer too much so looking further afield, The Cadogan menu looked great. 20 mins away from our camp, the staff were so friendly. Drinks on arrival from their own brewery, fantastic. The location and decor was lovely, the garden and play area was perfect and the roast dinner was one of the best I’ve ever had. The roast beef in particular was epic, whatever method the kitchen used to flavour it was unreal. Throughly recommended, well done to all staff for all the effort they put in to make such a great pub.

The place is lovely . Staff so friendly and helpful. Would stay here again. Drink was a bit pricey . But it was really nice. So I dont mind .

Great food, and good service, only down side is the car park is a little small, but we managed to park ok

We decided to hold a wake at the Cadogan being relatively close to the crematorium. The staff were fantastic. Matthew arranged the afternoon and is an absolute credit to the company. The food was delicious and plentiful even catering to our gluten free guest. Looking...

If you are looking for a beautiful location, lovely food and friendly staff I would recommend.

Amazing food! We are local and the food is amazing 100% recommend the steak especially the dry aged ribeye to share best steak I’ve ever eaten! don’t ever need a knife to cut it! One of my favourite places to eat locally

The best friendliest service - we arrived pretty much by accident and the staff made us feel completely welcome. The food is incredible (please try the Seafood Grill, it's perfect) and pretty reasonably priced for such quality. We were given the Earl Suite to stay in, clean, spacious and very comfortable - only negative is based on their afternoon/evening menu, they would do an astounding breakfast but sadly don't open until 12pm. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Came here for Sunday evening dinner. Very tasty and enjoyable and would definitely come back.

Very friendly staff. Pub itself feels more like a cafe/1990s bistro and is lacking in character. Food was quite tasty although my crispy calamari salad could have done with more noodles and salady things and my trout main was perhaps a bit too creamy and coconutty. But I enjoyed myself nevertheless.

Sneaky lunch. Wow. Just really good tasty food. Attentive friendly staff. Clean spacious dining area.

Lovely pub, great service with a ready smile from our hosts...just moved to the area, will definitely be back! Fab find!
