Roast beef very elastic. Hard dry vegetables. We did tell you but little engagement to apologise. Deserts served were much better.

Can’t praise the lovely staff here enough, attentive and polite. Called in for lunch with family from the states , delicious food. A real pleasure as opposed to the Greene king pub we booked on Saturday evening that didn’t inform us that the kitchen was closed and had awful customer service. Look forward to visiting again.

Had a lovely lunch today served by a wonderful waitress called Claire the food was amazing and so was she well done on a busy day still kept smiling 10/10

Went for lunch to celebrate my wife's ordination on the 29th. The food was excellent and the staff friendly and professional. Even before we got there nothing was too much bother, having rang them 3 times over the weeks to expand the table as more family wanted to eat. Ended up with 22 of us eating, excellent service and food excellent. We did not stay in the rooms this time but have a couple of years ago and would highly recommend them. Some family did stay this time and were very happy with their room. Only 2 minutes to the grounds of the Cathedral.

What a fantastic place to stay Awesome rooms Cool decor Awesome shower Awesome bed Free car parking Fantastic pub grub Highly recommend

Nice pub and hotel with good food and service we recommend to all that come to Bury cheap drinks and parking available. Easy

The staff were polite and friendly and the food was amazing nice the waitress was was very polite and made sure we had a good time as it was birthday celebration

Came with friends before we headed into town for lunch. I’ve never been to the fox before but my friend recommended it to me as she occasionally stops by to have lunch here. Staff were friendly and we were shown to a table as we were greeted at the door. Service was flawless and food was good for the price. Wasn’t too busy and the decor seemed very old fashioned which suited the pub itself. Will definitely visit again.

I was a little disappointed tonight with my food I ordered the gammon and instead of chips I asked for baby potatoes and I got what looked like roast potatoes that were ready crispy and there was only 5 on my plate pineapple was black my friends chicken was over done and couldn't put a fork through it which we mentioned and all we got was sorry chef is really busy I get that but no excuse for food to be poor I won't be going back any time soon 😞

Service was great couldn’t really fault anything. Menu had a lot to choose from so fortunately I was stuck for choice but a nice lady recommended the lamb shank so I trusted her voice. Lamb shank ended up being lovely and staff were friendly and attentive. Will definitely be returning when we pop back up to bury.

Great menu with something for everyone. Got the pub classics and more! Dog friendly, with a cosy pub atmosphere, and an airy courtyard with seating and parking. Portion sizes were good and so was the quality.

We stayed at the Fox and also ate there one night. Good reasonably central location with free parking (nice walk across Abbey Gardens to main square and up hill to centre) and lovely room. The room we had was excellent, beautifully decorated and very large. Food was decent, perfectly ok pub grub. This is really more like a restaurant than a pub. Great place to stay though.

We popped in for a dinner knowing that on previous visits the food had been good and the staff very friendly. Not so this time. A seemingly bored and indifferent person awaited us and didn't even offer a greeting. Now, don't get me wrong, I like The Rolling Stones but having "Sympathy For The Devil" as an accompaniment to overcooked scampi and soggy chips is not my idea of a relaxing meal! (served with undercooked peas) The tabletop was sticky and there were bits on the surface. The music was far too LOUD. Food was mediocre at best. Unsurprisingly, we were ignored by same unsmiling barmaid as we left, not a thank you or even did you enjoy your food, she clearly didn't care. We won't be returning which is a shame as it used to be very popular.

Went for a meal Easter Sunday and the service was excellent from start to finish. The waitress was clearly busy but was always smiling and friendly. The food was top class and will definitely recommend.

Experienced the worst experience at the fox inn Bury St Edmonds. The food was very much microwaved and to top off a very disappointing meal we got overcharged for drinks. Chose this place based on positive reviews. I guess you can’t believe everything you read!!!!!

Last minute decision to go out for dinner. Rang them and they managed to fit us in. The food was excellent yet again. Service from the team was brilliant as usual.

We popped in here just for a drink to start with then decided on stopping for lunch. Chose the turkey roast, found staff friendly and food was lovely, piping hot and reasonably priced to. A very old pub with a lovely atmosphere, worth a visit if your in the town.

Popped in here on a weekday for some lunch. Found a seat in the sun and ordered some drinks and lunch. The lamb shank was tasty but quite overpriced at £20 when the vege that came with it were actually just boiled. A tasty cheesecake desert though. I would come again but be more inquisitive as to what the meal had in it rather than relying on the picture in the menu.

I would throughly recommend visiting The Fox. The staff were very warm, welcoming and efficient particularly Vicky who had a lovely demeanour and was very attentive. Our meals arrived very quickly, they were both piping hit and delicious. The atmosphere of the pub was warm, and inviting. All round a really good find. 👍

Meal and drinks for 4. The food was lovely as always. We all had the lamb shank. Staff always friendly and attentive. Vic was fab!

I booked this Christmas day Lunch for 8 people and it did not disappoint. Super relaxed atmosphere and excellent service, along with great food considering the number catered for, and great value.

What a wonderful lunch we had today at the Fox. Very friendly staff who made us feel so welcome. Delicious food, the dessert was superb! We had never visited the pub before but will definitely be back. Thank you to the team for a lovely lunch this Christmas Day!

We had our staff Christmas party on 21/12/23 for 40 people - Just wanted to say thank you, the staff they are so welcoming and efficient, friendly and helpful. The food was amazing and we will defiantly be booking again next year. Thank you all and Happy Christmas.

We held our works Christmas party at the Fox lazt saturday and the food was fantastic, very tasty and lots of it . The staff were very attentive, friendly, and helpful .Everyone asked me when could we book again for next year.i would hab ve no hesitation in recommending the fos for a meal either as a group or a couple

We had an excellent meal today the ambiance of the pub was lovely the Christmas decorations looked so cosy and the staff were very tentive, we hardly waited for our meal and they were very busy

Visited Bury for the weekend in our motorhome. We found this pub was round the corner from where we were staying and went in for Saturday afternoon lunch around 2pm. Staff were friendly and made you feel at home, especially as we had our 21 month old cavapoo, Dolly with us. Food was superb and the ales on tap were excellent. We enjoyed her experience so much we booked for Sunday lunch the next day which didn’t disappoint either. My wife had roast pork and loved the baked apple in the side. I had the mushroom and Stilton wellington and I couldn’t fault it. All in all a wonderful experience and we will return with friends and family when we are in the area again. Keep up the great hospitality.

Yet again, another perfect meal was provided by The Fox team. My steak was cooked to perfection by Mario. Natalie was a very attentive server. Also, Clare behind the bar was awesome. The Fox team are brilliant. Thank you for an enjoyable evening.

Popped in after a dog walk for some lunch. We hadn’t booked and they were very busy but this wasn’t a problem for Nat & her team. The dogs and us were welcomed with open arms and seated quickly. Ordered the steak melt ciabatta and the feta, pear and honey open sandwich which were both so delicious. Would definitely recommend. Well done everyone 👏 👏

Overcooked, over microwaved and over priced. Food was tasteless. I could have bought a ready made microwave meal and it would have had more taste and been more enjoyable at a fraction of the price.

Welcome was excellent, food was great. Not a huge portion, which suited us. Husband went for a lamb shank roast and I had Turkey with all the trimmings. Good value and staff were excellent.

Went for Saturday lunch with a friend. Both pleased with our meals of Mac cheese and fish and chips. Friendly atmosphere and service. I would have given 5* but the coffee let it down. Will definitely go again.

Booked a table for 5pm (last Sunday), no more Turkey left, fair enough. I went for the as quoted 'pink' beef and my partner had the pork. The beef was far from Pink more like cremated, tough as old boots. Apple missing from Pork. Perfectic...

A great meal and great service. Mini desserts were perfect to finish off the meal. A great idea! The atmosphere was nice and very relaxing. Our drinks were served promptly and the house red wine was good.

It was my 70th birthday last weekend and I was looking around for a suitable venue to celebrate this milestone event with a fairly large group of friends and happened across The Fox. This establishment is hundreds of years old and is situated directly across...

We came here tonight for a friend's birthday. The staff were all welcoming and lovely. They put on a hot and cold buffet which was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be going back and would definitely recommend going there.

We had steak and chips and fish and chips , unfortunately both meals were cold after complaining they warmed up the food in the microwave as the plates were hot the second time. they completely ruined the chips.

Much much better than this time last year when we visited. Clearly some good management at work here. I still don’t go much on the so called award winning hard crust pies and a suggestion is make yourself. Not a complaint though, we had a...

This is one of the best pub myself and friends have visited service is fantastic food is delicious and NAT Adam And Leah care about their customers with a true passion totally recommend for a fabulous night out can't wait to return

Food was very good, went for the Sunday roast, strawberry cheesecake recommended , very welcoming and friendly staff , would go again

Amazing place, so cosy and appealing, food was lovely, staff went above and beyond, highly recommend. Thank you , we will be back.

The food and hospitality is amazing the staff are attentive and courteous, and the food is beautiful. Can't wait to come again!!

Lovely little pub. I stupidly booked for 4 people even though our party had 5 in it. They still managed to squeeze us in on another table. Food was amazing. The waitress was amazing. The ale was amazing. We will definitely be visiting again

Had lunch in the restaurant, young lady who served us was lovely and friendly without being 'over' friendly! Didnt wait long for our meal which was delicious. Atmosphere was very calm and welcoming. Would definitely recommend

A day out at the zoo followed by a delicious dinner at The Fox. Booked in advance because Saturday evenings tend to be busy. Great service and the food was excellent. Washed down with a nice pint of Guinness. What could be better. Will certainly...

Had a lovely meal celebrating wedding anniversary with my family. The staff were very friendly and welcoming! I had the squid and the fish and chips, both were very delicious. Will definitely come again.

Disaster averted! Excellent lunchtime staff on 15,09,23 so customer friendly and front of house staff working as a team, attentive without being intrusive. Food only ok, my prawn linguine clinging together like shipwrecked souls, claggy. They sent it back and replacement excellent so front of...

After a bad experience with the previous landlord's staff we persuaded our friends to try it again. We booked a table in advance only to find when we arrived that they didn't have our booking. Unfortunately they found a table for us as my wife's...

Very generous portions, and very tasty, Good service and good value served in great company!………………..

The food looked nothing like in the photos. Over cooked and tasteless. Toilets tiny and no baby change or disabled facilities

We came here for Sunday lunch last week. There is a specific Sunday menu, but there is something for everyone. 3 of us ordered the roast, which comes out with everything on the plate including gravy The meat quantity was ok, but the vegetables including...

On a visit from Sheffield to see our family in Bury, six of us had lunch on Tuesday at the Fox. very impressed with the pub , the food and also the friendliness of the staff. Well worth the visit and the IPA was spot...

Staff, rooms and food really great. Stayed one night when over with work. Previously used the town centre premier inn which is nice, but will definitely be back here again.

Fabulous food & good menu choices & great for gluten free food. Lovely helpful staff would thoroughly recommend. We always come here when we visit Bury St Edmunds.

Excellent food happy to recommend. First visit for lunch with wife and my mother and can not fault the service or the excellent food. Thank you.

Really good food and very nice staff. We had a really good evening and they were even happy to accomodate our slightly off menu dessert desires.

Very nice food! The staff is very friendly! We enjoyed the option of specifically getting a coffee with a dessert as an offered menu option.

We visited Bury St Edmunds for the day and decided to pop in for lunch and had the Seabass Rissotto, Fish & Chips and Hunters Chicken. The food was delicious and the portion size just right. The staff were friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend

We have eaten in many restaurants in Bury and wanted to try somewhere new so we used trip advisor to help us find somewhere for Sunday lunch. The reviews were excellent for The Fox so we arrived eager and excited - looking forward to an...

Food was fantastic, very friendly staff. Really nice place to relax and eat. Dogs loved the treats and fuss from the staff.

Really lovely place! Had dinner and drinks with some friends couldn't have had a better time and staff were great

Good food as always, friendly and polite service. Rashaan was really polite and made sure our meal was good. Definitely a nice cosy place for food.

James, Rashaan, and Adam were very attentive during our visit to The Fox. The food was excellent. We will be going back again.

The staff accommodated our request for a quiet table and were really friendly. We went for their hand battered fish and chips and they were delicious! The Greene King IPA was really good too. We didn’t manage desserts! Worth a stop if you’re in the...

Really disappointed in the service we got today. It was slow service, which we understood & wouldn’t usually complain about but then when the food came out we actually had to send our mains back as the quality was so poor. We were very polite...

Very friendly service and meal was enjoyable (gammon). We fitted in at the last moment but nothing was too much trouble for the staff

Lovely place for lunch and dinner!! We were there for a birthday celebration. We were served by Leah who was superb and made our visit all the more memorable.

The food was good but the service was excellent. Leah was not just pleasant but thoughtful & professional. A true asset for the Fox.

Worked on this pub many moons ago and had our wedding annerversary here and had a great time. Had an hour to kill before an appointment, Absolutely spot on in all departments. Many thanks

Excellent family dinner, delicious burger and incredibly welcoming staff! Will definitely be returning to this lovely relaxing environment.

Fantastic waitress Leah very helpful great service thank you good food as usual great atmosphere we have been here many times and will be coming back again

Just stayed for the one night. Aircon in the room was a Godsend during this hot spell, with the room clean and tidy upon arrival. There was a varied selection for both Breakfast and Dinner served by friendly and helpful staff. Could do with more...

Excellent food, the steak was the best I have had for a very long time. very friendly, polite and helpful staff. Thank you Leah. A very enjoyable evening

Nice vibe. Friendly atmosphere. The rooms were exceptional and much better than a ‘pub room’ - which is what we had expected. Leah did a great job in the bar and looked after us . Chatty and engaging.

The Pub was warm and cosy. Our accommodation was stylish and clean. The Room itself was spacious and the Bathroom had a shower and a bath, which is not always the case these days. The Bar was well stocked and tidy. The Breakfast was hearty...

Shared a lovely lunchtime two course meal with my husband. The starters (squid and ravioli) and mains (burger and sea bass risotto) were all great and the service was really good. We were served by Leah and a gentleman whose name we didn't get.

Great food… but what made the visit was great service. Leah, our waitress could not have been more welcoming, helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend the Fox for a family meal.

I have been there a couple of times in the last month or so for Sunday lunch. Adam, Natalie and the team are so friendly and welcoming and they really make Sunday lunch an occasion. What is even more impressive is that they allow adults...

Our first visit to the Fox, hadn't booked ,so relieved to find a spare table,as it was pretty busy . The young man who looked after us was excellent, very courteous, my daughter asked if it was okay to order two starters instead of a...
