The staffing levels here are appaling. The food is sub par. Booked for Sunday roast armt 3pm . On arrival we discovered the beef would not be ready for another hour, so we ordered chicken. 1/2 roast chicken should include a breast, not just a leg and wing. Advertised hispi cabbage, but instead received a slightly charred slice imof white cabbage. Roast potatoes had been introduced to the oven in a passing fashion, and wete neither roast, not acceptable. Undercooked cauliflower cheese, and the "chef" has apparently never heard of salt. Everything appallingly underseasoned. Would not recommend.

Special trip here as a group of 4. We saw that the ordering app had a kitchen close time of 11pm, no rush we thought. Well don’t try ordering food after 8pm on a Saturday night. Manager rudely told us kitchen closed no food. Plenty of better places in town for food on a Saturday night.

Fantastic pub been here a couple of times now and always a friendly service. Specially today, very busy with lots of big tables but the manager and his assistant handled themselves very well with smiles on thier faces and some whity commentary to keep the guests smiling, even with what seems to be a member of staff calling in sick. Keep up the good work guys.

Nice spot. However: Service not great not great. Food was disappointing... crab starter was OK... crispy sourdough was certainly crisp as deep fried! Burger and the bun were burnt.... and the bun was poor quality... BBQ sauce had unidentified lumps looking like branston pickle... chips were at best lukewarm... well those that were still there after the girl serving shot a lot of them on the floor (not that she noticed and no apololgy!) Prosecco was ok but glass small... the only highlight was the cloudy IPA which was spot on.

This was our first visit to the pub, we decided to eat here after the men had done the Brewery Tour, oh how wrong we’re we! Placed out order for six adults and one child’s menu, it took a long time, the pub was very busy, we were not told how long we’d have to wait, food eventually arrived, the steak was over cooked, looked an odd colour, we eventually managed to get an waitress attention, by the time the replacement arrived the rest of us had almost finished, ordered some more drinks We wanted to pay the bill, asked for it several times, got fed up on waiting, went to the bar, couldn’t not get any one’s attention, to enough staff, when the bill was finally produce it came to a ridiculous amount over £200! No way and we spent that much, our table was known as the TvTable, no number, we tried to explain what we had, asked for the actual bill, we couldn’t look at it We realised that we’d got the previous people bill, seems that they didn’t it pay it!!!! ITS TOO EASY TO ORDER FOOD AND DRINK AND EASY TO WALK AWAY AS THE STAFF DON’T BRING YOU THE BILL, WE TRIED TO RESOLVE THE MATTER, NO ONE WAS INTERESTED, PEOPLE WERE QUEING UP BEHIND US TO PLACE ORDERS AND WERE GETTING INPATIENT !,, WE WERE OVER CHARGED BY ALMOST £65 WE SHALL NOT BE GOING BACK HERE OR TO ANY GREEN KING PUB/BRWERY IT SPOILT THE DAY FOR US ALL, MY FIRST AND LAST VISIT!!! We won’t be RIPPED OFF AGAIN TOO EASY TO WALK AWAY AND NOT BE NOTICED BY STAFF!!!

Lovely place, in the heart of Bury but still in a quiet and secluded area rather than right in the hustle and bustle. We stopped her for a couple of drinks, as some friends of ours were staying overnight at the Dog & Partridge - I can’t comment on the rooms, but they were saying good things. Service was friendly, and the outside area is very pleasant, especially for a summer evening. Would happily visit again.

Very, very good! Busy Friday at 6pm and everything pretty much up to scratch, despite it being hot and busy. ...and I could see why it was busy. Friendly, helpful staff. Food was good pub grub at a decent price. Manager was very much present and very much hands on, but still found time to engage with customers with great customer service. Nice buzzing atmosphere but chilled enough in the main dining area to enjoy a really nice meal with partner and 9yr old, even on a Friday night. Went a couple of years ago to be disappointed, but the place has been turned around since. Will definitely be going again.

This has the potential to be an amazing pub. But the awful bar service really lets it down. There is never enough bar staff serving for the demand. 3 deep at the bar and only 2 staff serving is atrocious. They also refuse to serve at one side of the bar - resulting in the serving side being overcrowded. Add to that the over-priced drinks and it really does spoil the experience. Madness. In response to the owner - there is no point stating how busy you are but doing nothing about it. Use all of the bar area and get more staff serving! The volume of reviews that say similar things surely merits more action??

Very disappointed as I have an allergy, the manager? Was so initially unfriendly. Put an ipad in front of me and said " read this and tick the box" I didn't get it at first, but the next page shows 14 ' popular allergies, mine wasn't there! I asked what ingredients were in certain dishes, he didn't know! Unless made on the premises, even then he couldn't " legally" say what was made on the premises and what wasn't! I ended up with chips! My friends said their meals were tasty, but I won't go back. To add to this, the bar staff were out serving food and no one was behind the bar for drinks. Shame as I loved this place when I was younger!

This is our local pub and we often pop in on our way home. Yesterday we did exactly that at about 3.30pm but we were unable to get a table as every single one had ‘Reserved’ on it! We were informed by the barmaid that it was because they had a lot of bookings that evening. We said we just wanted a quick drink and were told ‘I think table no.10 is free’ We couldn’t find the table and eventually sat at a ‘Reserved’ one as it was too cold and wet to sit outside. This is a pub. People pop in for a drink. There should be tables free to sit at. If all those tables were genuinely reserved for the evening why put the signs on them at 3.30 in the afternoon??

I booked a dinner for two and ordered a roast beef and roast chicken. The roast beef was undercooked and very little of it. (It was changed to chicken)The chicken was hard work in the sense of cutting into it as it was stilled skinned and boned. The roast potatoes were so small and could not enjoy the experience of a normal roast spud due to the limited size. The vegetables were insufficient and not much choice; there should be broccoli and more choice of veg instead of a large piece of cabbage. We left still feeling very hungry and disappointed. I prefer certain white wine and there was no Marlborough Savinon blanc or Sancere which was very disappointing, The overall experience was was not that I expected as the venue is very nice and staff friendly and helpful.

The rooms and restaurant are stylish & immaculate having recently been refurbished. The atmosphere is relaxed, the food lovely and Fran & Adam, plus their staff, go out of their way to accommodate any requests. We were especially pleased that they allowed us a separate area in the pub for our reception despite it being a busy Saturday. This made the occasion even more special and we certainly be back to stay again soon.

I stayed at the Dog and Partridge with my partner and we were shocked when we walked into the room. Everything from the gorgeous bathroom tiles to the beautiful pillows and bed to the complimentary teas and coffees. Coming from NYC, we were hoping for something quaint and relaxing and D&P certainly delivered. The owners and staff are incredibly helpful and kind and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and were okay. The room is subtly stylish with the most beautiful furniture and brass accents in the bathroom and the room… even the light switches were beautiful!? The food was delicious too and the area is central to historic Bury St Edmund’s and only a short walking distance to the Abbey Gardens and town center. I can’t thank the staff enough and will treasure my time and memories here. Our only regret is not being able to spend more time here. Thank you, D&P!!!

The pub has just been refurbished so thought we would give the new menu a chance. Having picked our table it was a bit dirty from the previous customers, on asking for it to be cleaned we were amazed that the young lady behind the bar passed us the cleaning bottle and cloth so we could do it ourselves! Never had this happen before in any pub/restaurant... We chose our food choices which arrived in good time but unfortunately the food was extremely disappointing, the chicken kiev was a hard disc that could have been used as a weapon and I have uploaded a photo of half of a steak ciabatta, the amount of steak included was a joke, this was £9.25! They had bothered to ask me how I would like the steak cooked but the slithers of steak were so tiny there was no point, it was either cooked or not (luckily it was cooked) The fish & chips on the menu stated crushed peas but it arrived with normal garden peas, no sooner had our food arrived the person who I assume was the chef came out from the kitchen, backpack on and off, maybe this was a rushed job but it was very poor. It is a lovely building and the new garden looks great but the staff have badly let this down which is a great pity.

Pros - refurbished rooms. Much better than previously. Although the lock was already damaged and carpet had stains. A little more attention to detail needed. Outside area attractive although plants were dying! Majority of staff friendly. Cons - had lunch booked with friends. All of the Sunday roast dinners were served cold! All were returned and replaced. This was after a long old wait for our food. Salad was uninspiring and the fish cakes pretty basic served on a small plate. It was obvious that the staff were stretched and couldn’t cope. This did spoil our stay. No one wants a cold roast dinner 😶 This is a greene king managed pub and one of our party works for the company. So a pretty poor show from the Dog & Partridge food wise. If the restaurant improved we would go back.

From organising to final drinks and desert, The Dog and Partridge atmosphere, staff, food was absolutely phenomenal! We all were in agreement that we felt we was in a silver service venue. The Politeness of all staff and quality to detail was simply awesome. I just hope that we left a substantial tip? But that part was taken out of my control. I would recommend the push for further coffees or drinks at end. This may give more revenue? Perhaps? But overall we definitely will be going back.

The website is informative and online booking was easy, the table was ready and all staff friendly and helpful, the food was great, promptly served and reasonably priced, the ambience is family and dog friendly. This truly is a fabulous place and we would recommend. My only caution is that there is no carpark so you need to use public parking which on a Saturday is free after 6pm so book a table after that.

The rooms are stunning! Recently refurbished and a lovely bit of luxury. Breakfast was good and good prices for the location. BUT: When I arrived, I was told that parking was on a first-come-first-served basis. This wasn't described anywhere on the website. The car park was full, and so my husband drove around for 30 minutes trying to find space. When I asked for help about this (having left him driving round Bury!) the staff member told me of 2 nearby car parks that were unavailable due to varying opening times and the market. They weren't very understanding or helpful in the situation. When my husband eventually found a space that was in the complete opposite end of town, (which we had to pay for - £8 in total!) he realised that he would need to move the car again at 8am the following morning. In all, it tainted our stay, added significant stress and extra expense to our visit, and was a huge inconvenience. If we had known about the lack of available parking (6 spaces, 9 rooms), then we would not have chosen to stay at this hotel.

First time coming to the D&P for food this Sunday, so we were very interested to try the Sunday Roast. As a party of 4, we all opted for the beef roast. The service was incredibly slow, and it took a long time between ordering to starters and then from starters to main. When the dinner arrived there was very little gravy for the meal, so we all straight away ordered extra gravy to go with the dinner. The extra gravy took around 10 minutes to then arrive, which meant most of us were at least half way through our meal by this point, as we tried waiting for it and the dinner had started going cold. The food itself was nice, wouldn’t say it was anything to write home about, but pleasant. The beef was lovely, potatoes nice, but weirdly half of the plate was taken up by about 1/4 of a whole cabbage just chopped into whole slices (see photo for explanation of this). All of us were unimpressed by the cabbage taking up so much of the plate, it was very difficult to cut and eat too as the centre wasn’t cooked fully. On arrival you can’t even see the beef as it’s covered up with the huge cabbage block. One single floret of cauliflower, (if that) was the “cauliflower cheese” addition. Pudding I opted for the chocolate and caramel torte and my partner ordered the apple pie and requested this with custard instead of ice cream, although when it came it was still with ice cream. My chocolate torte was incredible and the ice cream was great too. Would definitely opt for this again, but a shame the apple pie order wasn’t amended to custard. Overall good, service slow, not sure we’d return for a Sunday roast, but would maybe like to try some of the other items on the menu.

Stayed here for the weekend our room was amazing. The rooms have just had a refit and we were lucky to get the room with the beautiful bath in the bedroom. The en-suite also had a beautiful big shower all done to a high standard....

Our recently refurbished en-suite room was smart, comfortable and obviously expensively up-dated. The pub itself is as delightful as it's always been. If you couldn't get a good pint next to the brewery something must be badly wrong. And it wasn't. Excellent real ale. Good...

Very nice pub and fab roast dinner. Plenty of spuds, everything cooked well. Beef was pink, but I am happy with that. Soup beforehand was nice too, chestnut and cauliflower I think it was. Did think the bread would be chunkier, but no matter. I...

Good choice of sandwiches which were presented nicely with a sald. Quite busy on a Sunday afternoon so the wait was a little longer than we would have liked.
