The One Bull Public House in St Edmundsbury

One Bull is an excellent place to eat. The food is very good and the menu has a good choice of dishes to suit all tastes. The staff are very friendly and helpful You are treated extremely well thank you for a lovely evening

Didn't eat here but plenty of people where Good service from bar staff

I have been here a few times and always have had amazing meals.

I was served by Eva and Sam, service was excellent and very friendly, food was excellent and cooked by someone with a passion for food. I have food intolerances and the team were very helpful ensuring I was getting the right food. A very enjoyable experience, thank you

The fish and chips were delicious and crispy, and the service from Shan and Ethan was quick, friendly and professional.

Lovely atmosphere and service. Large portions. A pleasant afternoon

We went to One The Bull in Bury St Edmunds on Friday 4th April. The pub /restaurant was packed and we all agreed we had the best waiter any of us had had before. He gave us time, we were not sure about the beer and he suggested a sample, similar for the wine, and he took our procrastination in good heart even though the place was busy. We then moved onto the menu and had a lot of questions again about what the terms meant etc Nothing was too much trouble for him. The waiters name was Ethan and we all agreed Ethan was a star and such good service should be acknowledged, in this day and age where it is all so easy to criticise. Take a bow Ethan, take a bow .....

We had a table booked at the one bull last week, Thursday night 4/4/25. We had a lovely evening, we were greeted nicely, the food was good and the service was excellent. Shout out to Ethan, our waiter, who was absolutely amazing, kind, polite and super helpful. He is a credit to the place. Thank you for looking after us!

No bull here. This place is top class on every aspect. Lovely atmosphere very warm and cosy. Impeckable service Delicious food. Great menu with plenty choice. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Probably the best Sunday roast in Bury and at a great price. We really appreciate that this is one of the only places left in Bury that is a dog free zone!

Lovely food, interesting menu Eva and Molly were great 😊

Love the wine flights and they went out of their way to make the fish into fish fingers for our kids. Great atmosphere too!

This pub has exceptional staff who are so kind and friendly. We had a lovely family meal on Mothering Sunday. Food was delicious but but what really made the occasion was how the staff looked after my elderly Dad. Couldn't have asked for more. Thank you

I've been in this restaurant for dinner during a business trip. We had our food pre ordered during the day so once we got there we didn't have to wait much. I had the whipped goats cheese, pickled beetroot, candied almonds as starter and the smoked haddock & pea risotto, bacon crumb, crispy poached egg as main, they were both very good. The interiors are very elegant, overall a really nice place.

Fantastic spot in Bury. I've been here a few times, always delivered great food and drinks. We were visiting for Sunday lunch, and all were stuffed. I had the roast beef. Plenty of it, no golding back. Great roasties, Yorkshire pud, and sides. Cauliflower cheese as standard is great! The puds were awesome, too. I had a brownie, which was everything you'd expect from a brownie, delicious.

Called in for an early dinner mid week. Good selection of food, freshly prepared. Service was efficient and we were informed meals were prepared to order so there would be a 20 minute wait for mains. We had chicken and ham pie and calves liver. Both meals were nicely presented on hot plates and were very tasty.

Food was a little bland. Every small dish came with a salad and bread. Better if the bread and salad came separately. White bait appeared to come from a packet and was disappointing. Whole Sea bass was nice but would have preferred fillets. Wine was really good as was the staff.

Was in the area for the weekend. Popped in for a drink and the interior is beautiful much better than previous pictures. Staff were very smiley, happy and friendly. I was unsure on what wine to go for and the lovely lady serving behind the bar wasted no time asking me if I would like to try a little bit of each. A lovely relaxing spot to enjoy a lovely glass of wine. My husband had a pint of Guinness which he said was good. We went back the next day for some bar snacks and we had the focaccia, fries and breaded Camembert all were excellent and good value for the portion size. This time there was a young man behind the bar who was just as helpful happy and friendly. Really impressed as the pub was busy but all staff went about there tasks efficiently and with a smile on their faces.

Sunday night in Bury St Edmunds. All is well. The food was more than tasty, the atmosphere excellent, the service friendly.

The kitchen must have been having a bad day. Portion of squid so tiny as to be ludicrous and bacon dry and hard. Waiting staff tried their best and did not charge for the squid.

Fabulous great food friendly and helpful staff great place to be we love it, thanks, nearly forgot lovely house wine too, Roger

We are visiting Bury St Edmund's for just a night and booked a table here in advance. The first thing to say is that the interior is a lot busier and more welcoming than it looks on the photos. We were warmly welcomed and served promptly and efficiently. The food was delicious, all of it, with a special mention for the fabulous mussels - plump and moist, and coated in a great cream sauce. Three courses for one of us and two for the other, sparkling water, a carafe if Chianti and an espresso came to just over a hundred pounds, which I think is very good value for premium ingredients cooked with flair and imagination. A special mention to all the staff, who seemed genuinely to enjoy offering excellent service with a willing and sunny demeanor. Many thanks to all.

Great local bar & res6 super good food lots of great beers, and wines by the glass

Sunday lunch with friends! It was fabulous from start to finish! Service great, friendly, helpful. We had Sunday Roast & it was very good, plenty of meat, veg, toast potatoes & extra gravy!! Very tasty, will definitely be back 👍

Very nice Sunday lunch, with great service.

Nice place, been here a few times food has always been lovely.

The staff accommodated myself and my parent on a busy Saturday evening, despite a mess up in the booking (my fault). The service was impeccable - friendly and professional without being at all fussy. The staff across the board are a real credit to the place. We had steak and the chicken thigh burger, which were top class. All round a beautiful meal, lovely atmosphere and excellent service. Definitely recommended.

We had Sunday roast (two sirloins, one chicken) and it was so good. Every server was exceptional. It was our first Sunday roast experience in many trips to England and we look forward to our next trip to Bury St. Edmunds to eat here again. Thanks The One Bull!

Consistently good food and service, with a frequently changing seasonal menu. Has a good selection of wines as well from the wine shop Vino Gusto, part of the same group. Been many, many times and have never had a single complaint.

Came to the one bull for a meal with work colleagues as the other restaurant we went to was booked up. Was a nice little surprise. The staff all very friendly and kept us topped up with food and drinks. The food itself was good but the portion sizes were a bit on the small size. Had the cheesecake for dessert and it tasted amazing just a shame there wasn’t loads of it. Overall it is a nice place to eat, a bit more expensive then other places nearby but the food tastes lovely and the service was good and quick.

Business lunch for 3, parking just across the road, busy, but we were lucky to grab a space. We'd reserved a table just in case it was busy with Christmas lunches. Service was very friendly, and table service nice and efficient. We chose 2 of the chicken (thigh) burgers, and a sandwich. Nicely presented and really tasty, nice sized portions for lunch. Would reccomend!

Nice pub/restaurant, staff are very friendly, but can get very busy would book ahead if you want food.

Went for a Christmas meal lovely food service was great tables set out well

Have been many times. Always high standard of food and wines. Multi-award winners for wines. Also brew their own craft beers. Knowledgeable staff. Pleasant relaxing atmosphere. Clean premises.

Went into this pub for the first time, beers were OK, the board outside said they were doing food but tried to order at the bar only to be told that they had a lot of party's going on so they would not do food, so first and last visit, to turn away bussiness like that is just ridiculous the pub was only half full clearly they don't need the money

The staff is what makes this pub incredible. They give an elegant pub a more personal experience and make it feel like a second home. The owner just needs to add tip options for the bar and possibly live music on occasion.

Delicious, locally sourced dishes. Great wine list by the glass.

Amazing restaurant. Great food with wonderful quality wine. Fabulous team there, who were so knowledgeable. My friend and I loved it and will definitely be going back. We have re-booked already.

A nice Friday nice glass of red wine and a warm fire, chat and chill ideal place for a lovely girlie catch up.

We were served by Sam and Seb both very capable and on the ball. Sam knew the menu inside out and backwards. His advice was spot on and enabled us to make good choices. His confidence, knowledge and assurance was clear to see and impressive in someone so young. The food was delicious, a magnificent traditional meat pie main was the star dish. A pear and cheese dish and a meat terrine with pineapple and a hint of chilli were our starters. A slice of wickedly rich treacle tart finished us off. We walked the longest way back to recover. Real ale (brewshed) complemented the meal perfectly. I followed up a couple of days later and a different team looked after me just as well. One of those lovely places where when you ask “Can I ?”…. the answer is always yes. Beats the Angel round the corner on every count.

Visiting the town for the first time and very pleased, we chose to do so. Luch here was a pleasant experience, and the food was good. The waitress was very attentive when required. Excellent experience will visit again if ever back in the area.

Really wonderful visit this afternoon to The One Bull. Food was absolutely fantastic, especially the Scotch Egg! All the staff were very helpful and knowledgeable when we had any questions.

We had our wedding meal here and it was a lovely experience. Great food and service. We have been there so many times and never been disappointed

An excellent place to eat ,but just have a drink. The food is delicious and they do brilliant Sunday lunches. The only minus is that they do not allow dogs .

A great place for a pint and a catch-up with friends. Lovely atmosphere and great seating options.

I really enjoy visiting gusto pronto locations, and this one is a fave for evening meals -with it being in town. Great service, friendly and attentive staff always over the years I've been coming and felt it time to finally leave a review. Deserts always the highlight of my meal and I'm such a fan of the frequent changes of menu. The lighting really is great too, not too bright but not too dark and the separation of bar / drinks , and dining areas, make it much calmer when enjoying meal. Can't wait to come back soon to see what's on the menu

Really nice, light and modern venue. I had the Sunday roast which was great. The atmosphere was good and staff were really friendly.

A lovely friendly atmosphere with a fantastic range of craft beer and wine

Didn't have food. Great wine selection and cosy setting.

I came in on a Friday evening to the one bull. Despite it being very busy, Becky was extremely attentive and friendly providing excellent service! The food and vibes were excellent, would definitely recommend!

Great place with a lovely menu, good service and great food!

The fresh and understated decor, the warm welcome at the bar, and the efficient and friendly service were just as we remembered from previous visits. However we love the fact that the menu changes from time to time, a tweak here and there to keep us wanting to return.

Stopped for a drink earlier in the day and decided to return for dinner . We were not disappointed, the meal was excellent- in particular the curried lamb scotch egg starter was amazing. Lovely, friendly staff . We would definitely return .

The staff are always welcoming. I've only eaten here a couple of times but it's been good on both occasions

Asked for a dry martini, didn't have any. Cinzano, the same. ended up with vodka and coke. Then find that pub does not deal in cash!!!!!!! Purse full of cash and no credit card. Not every one carries a credit card. They should think of the customer not themselves. Buy a safe if you can't get takings to the bank.

Lovely olde worlde English pub looking building on the outside. Inside it looks like a modern cafe,lounge. I don't have the privellege of knowing how it used too look,but this is not,ever,how an English pub should look on the inside. Over £6 for a pint of poncy Spanish lager!!!! No cash accepted!!! No thanks.

We recently visited Bury St Edmunds during August Bank Holiday and we called in to this lovely pub twice- the staff are lovely, so friendly and helpful, we didn't eat but the food looked good - we would highly recommend this place.

We visited yesterday and enjoyed an early evening meal. The food was great as was the service, our server was Liv and she was really proficient in her role. I have worked in the catering industry for 45 years and she is a credit to your business. Well done Liv.

One of the best pubs/eateries in BSE. Top quality ale, more expensive than Wethspoons but well worth the extra. Great food served by excellent staff. Overall a lovely visit.

Great experience lovely food super service see u again soon

Nice venue. Good service and the foot was the best part.

Very pleasant interior, and reasonable welcome. Food promised a lot with the starters but the chicken schnitzel was completely tasteless. Onion rings also promising until the cooking oil started dripping out. Disappointing.

Great place for lunch and, of course, excellent beer.

Review excellent waitress. Bar manager excellent service. Food very good. Good value Sunday lunch

Very decent lunch had here. Good friendly service and nice ambience.

Had the best pint of Guinness ever !

We didn't eat marvellous staff Clean relaxing place

A perfect gem! Great location close to the centre but slightly more peaceful than along the main drag. Modern interior but with character, lots of comfy sofas and seating to choose from. Service was wonderful, welcoming and prompt. Lots to choose on the menu, all good came beautifully prepared and incredibly tasty. I’d recommend 100% and look forward to returning.

We had a lovely meal here. I had pork belly with korean bbq sauce which was really tasty and a sticky toffee pudding sundae which was also very good. Our waitress (didn't get her name but she had a blonde ponytail) was really friendly and the perfect level of attentative. My partner had schnitzel which he wasn't too fussed with but his caramel tart dessert was good.

Staying in Bury St. Edmunds whilst on a course. Visited The One Bull 2 nights running due to it being outstanding the first night. 2 staff members on - Sam and Becky. Dining out alone as a female in a new place can sometimes be intimidating to some. Sam and Becky made me feel welcome and relaxed from walking through the door. Greeted me as soon as eye contact was made with a smile and a friendly demeanour. The first night I was thankful for them finding me a quiet spot to work from as I had some paperwork to catch up with. It was then no problem for me to move to a ‘proper’ table to eat. Being a chef myself I can be a little picky when it comes to eating out - I like and expect good standards. With a daily changing specials menu alongside a small but perfectly considered main menu I needn’t have worried. First night I had garlic butter focaccia bread, bacon chop and sticky toffee pudding from the main menu. Tonight I’ve had duck from the specials menu followed by eton mess. All delivered in generous portions, perfectly presented by very well trained and attentive staff. Compliments to the chef and kitchen team - the food is full of flavour and perfectly cooked. Good to meet Dave the owner at the bar tonight also to express my thanks and high praise for Sam and Becky. Did I mention they also brew their own beers and have an extensive but well chosen wine list? All available to buy from their shop next door! I will definitely be returning here if I need to come to Bury St.Edmunds for any other reason. If I could give you 10 stars I would! A huge well done to The One Bull team!

I got married at Bury St Edmonds and the One Bull kindly let us have our wedding lunch there. The food was delicious especially the sticky toffee pudding, the staff was very helpful and friendly, especially Becky and Sam…. We will definitely give this place a visit again Thank you again for making our day perfect 🤩

Wonderful food, great service from both servers and a very smiley bar lady! 10/10 x

Excellent food, wine and service. I had two starters and my husband had a starter and main. The cod cheek scampi was particularly good, we also chose mussels, kofta and a lamb burger. Everything was beautifully cooked and presented. Extensive wine list with lots of interesting wines by the glass, carafe or bottle. Good value for money, we really enjoyed it and will definitely return.

Lovely nicely presented pub with great beer and lovely food.

Nice mix of the old and the modern with the decor and a good selection of locally brewed beer. Helpful friendly staff

Primarily tempted to try this lovely pub because it is dog free, we were surprised and then wowed not just by the friendly staff, the light and airy atmosphere, but then by the delicious home cooked food that arrived at our table. I had the scrumptious Chicken Caesar on Wooster's focaccio while my hubby thoroughly enjoyed his chicken and leek pie - as the menu describes it 'Proper Food'! We'll be back soon!

Great food and service as always

Only had drinks but lovely place and will definitely go back

Wow what can I say...Best meal out I have had in a long time. I was there for my hen party...table decorated beautifully...staff were friendly and helpful and the food was really very very good. Thank you One Bull Update April 2024: still fabulous 👌

Modern interior, very comfortable and relaxed. Good selection of drinks and nice atmosphere. Perfect for eating out or just a cosy coffee

One of the best meals out in ages. Super pleasant staff and good food

Been there last night, atmosphere is ok but really loud! as people from pub just next to you. So disappointed with the food ! Steaks are just like tesco steaks, you get it on any other cheap pubs . But its costs £27.50 2 adult, 2 kids we all didn’t enjoy the food. Paid £155 Womt be going back there again !

Our Favourite Bar in Bury always friendly atmosphere and staff are polite and knowledgeable. Perfect place to chill out.

Becky was great, made sure we had everything we needed and the food was great

Really saved our night. Called in here after having a poor experience somewhere else. We were served by Becky who was absolutely amazing, couldn’t have done more for us. And the food was delicious. This place has quickly become one of our favourites. Thanks so much!

We enjoyed a Mother's Day roast dinner, the quality of the food was excellent. Service was good and it was a nice experience.

In my opinion its the best place in Bury 👌

Visited last night when my boys took me for Mothers day. Amazing food which was plentiful and cooked to perfection. Polite staff with lots of smiles.

This is a tricky one as the food was well cooked and presented but my meal was miniscule! It looked lost in the bottom of the bowl, a slice of celeriac and a tablespoon of seed Ragu and almond flakes. The sticky toffee pudding saved the day. The venue was quiet, but it was a Tuesday evening.

Really friendly and nice staff, lovely atmosphere. I really enjoyed our food and there was a wide selection of professionally made food on the menu.

A great pub/restaurant in a convenient location. Polite and friendly staff, good food and drink selection. Three star rating for ambience given due to it being a Tuesday night when there weren't many patrons in and hence a little quiet. Will reconsider after we visit on a busier night. Luckily I had the most pleasant dining companion and had a thoroughly enjoyable evening here.

We all enjoyed our lunch here today, we always go to the One Bull when we’re back visiting family in Suffolk. We’ve had many lovely meals there over the years, the food’s always great and the staff are lovely. The menu has clearly labelled vegetarian options. The coronation chickpea focaccias I had were gorgeous. There’s a really good wine list too. They brew their own beer and one of us loves the beer here! The One Bull’s nice and airy and I like that the windows look out into the old Abbey Garden walls at the back. It’s a nice place to go for food.

We had high hopes after seeing the reviews and the fantastic pre-arrival information system that we were able to utilise and we were not disappointed. We have been lucky enough to stay in some amazing hotels around the world, but for room ambience, facilities and personal service this is up there with the best we have had. The room was immaculate and nothing was too much trouble if we wanted anything changed – we stayed in the Concorde Suite which has a two-person spa bath in the room and as a relaxing experience, it is unsurpassed in any hotel I have stayed in the UK. We also ate in their restaurant in the evening and the food there was excellent and well-priced. The AA have recently rated the breakfast as 5 Star and I would concur with this – it is not often I get a Bucks Fizz or Bloody Mary included in the breakfast!! Overall we had a fantastic time and I am sure this will become a regular place we stay when we want some R&R.

Great late night pint of cider.

Fabulous food and service. I would have no doubt over recommending the one bull.

Nice but expensive.not very big menu

We went to the One Bull today for Sunday lunch. What a fantastic experience. The drinks were fantastic and the food was absolutely delicious coupled with friendly attentive service an all round great time thank you

Very nice wine selection, good food. Good service. Honestly, not far from 5 stars but it isn't remarkable, so 4 it is

Great food, great atmosphere, friendly staff, great selection of well crafted locally brewed beers!
