The One Bull Public House in St Edmundsbury

It's my local.pub, great food brew own beers, 40 wines by the glass all food cooked to order

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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 .

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 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.

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.

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.

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

Great experience lovely food super service see u again soon

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.

We didn't eat marvellous staff Clean relaxing place

Had the best pint of Guinness ever !

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.

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!

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

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.

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

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!

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

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!

Lovely atmosphere for a family pre-Christmas lunch.

All fantastic great service and food

This is one of the best Sunday roasts I've had in a long time Will definitely come again Everything was spot on.

We really love this pub. Always had great food, wine and beer there, and the staff are always welcoming and helpful. It is such a shame we won't be able to visit anymore, as the pub is not dog friendly. Surely well-behaved dogs should always be welcomed in pubs. :(

Excellent experience on two occasions. Busy but not noisy with great service. Food was outstanding, particularly a pie which is undoubtedly the best I can remember eating. Portions generous. Good ale too.

Excellent food and extremely polite and caring staff. Good experience.

One of the worst meals I have had in years. Accompanied by a surly head waitress- an expensive mistake. I will never go back.

It was a busy Friday night, however there is little excuse for the quality of the food-it was pretty appalling. Little care taken with either course, but the starter was especially bad. It may have been an off night, but I certainly won’t be bothering again. Beer and wine was OK though!

It boldly claims to be an old traditional pub, but completely refurbished and lacks any character. Bland boring atmosphere with the most pretentious customers I've ever seen. Beer selection is lacking as well. If you like wine and boring boring mediocrity, this place is for you Also..The food while looks great, but is too pricey.

Had a late lunch at The One Bull with family Sunday afternoon. Their menu is relatively small, but that's fine, as the options on offer are prepared well, (vegetables not under or over cooked) and flavoursome. This compares with many establishments offering pages and pages of food mediocre at best. To complement the food, the service is prompt, friendly and efficient. The way it should be. Lastly, they have a selection of ales brewed by themselves. What's not to like? Recommended 🙂

My son booked this pub for a family meal. Hubby and sons girlfriend chose the pork. They were expecting chips to be served with the meal but had to order separately. The meat came on a deep plate with a little bit of kale and 2 halves of plums. The fact that they had to order extras was terrible for the price we paid £19, £23 with the chips. I had fish n and very large chips or you could say roast potatoes, they were that big. To be honest I've had better in a Premier Inn. My son had the muscles and our grandson had a chicken burger with fries which was £10. A lot for a child's meal tbh. Total cost with 3 drinks was £114. Wouldn't go again in a hurry. Too expensive for what you get.

Attentive, friendly service. The beef and pork roast dinners were excellent, we will definitely return.

Very salty squid, had to send back. Both my husband a me thought very salty, there were about 4 or 5 in the bowl. Waitress came back to our table to say ‘chef said no salt in the squid at all!’ We didn’t get charged but to be told you are lying, put a damp squib in the evening. We went with friends to be honest the food wasn’t great for any of us, the tartar sauce was good. Peas dry, fish black, chips as big as roast potatoes. Unfortunately we’ll not be back.

Had a very pleasant experience they catered for gluten free and it was very yummy 😋

Very good atmosphere service and food we had gluten free fish and chips it was very tasty 😋 good for gluten free

Such a cosy pub restaurant. Haven't eaten there for quite a while but the food smelled good. It's best to book if you want to eat. Great ales and lagers. So cosy. The lighting is perfect. The seating areas are so comfortable. It's a lovely place to be

Attentive staff, helpful advice, not intrusive. Novel tastes with an Eastern feel in the new menu.

I’ve visited the One Bull several times for drinks but had never eaten there before. My friend recommended it so we booked a table for supper with friends. I was so disappointed with the food. I sent mine back due to freshness issues and got an alternative replacement that wasn’t much better. I like the pub and was disappointed that the restaurant didn’t match up. The staff were pleasant and friendly.

Like this pub a lot. Very good locally brewed beer, helpful staff and great atmosphere

Lovely pub staff friendly, 4 stars as we didn't eat, but if in that area again would eat there, had reservations at another place, so just went for a pre drink

I have to say the best roast I have eaten out in a long time ( my wife cooks it too well). Beautifully pink beef, lovely veg etc, great staff! Our new favourite roastie din!

Melt in the mouth roast beef! Lovely Sunday roast dinner with red wine! Usually come here and do the set menu which never disappoints but decided to try the Sunday menu and so glad we did!

Nice atmosphere. Attentive, friendly and helpful servers. Good standard food offering. Kids menu did not have enough plain option/choice. Missing a trick with not making puddings visible as we could’ve been tempted if we’d seen them on a menu.

Great food and atmosphere enjoyed by all. Special thanks to our wonderful waitress Luv who attended to all our needs and was an examplorary treasure who looked after our party really well. Can't wait to ve coming back very soon!
