The Six Bells Horringer in St Edmundsbury

Have visited twice for lunch and both my guests loved the ambiance, service, quality of food was absolutely 5 star. Faultless and excellent value for money. Just wish they did Sunday lunch as I would be there at the drop of a hat

Wonderful food and just the best of good people looking after us Thank you to Nicki Ricky and Deborah and all the staff you made our 60 th wedding Anniversary a day to remember Thank you for just the best food and party xx

Had the opportunity to spend longer hours than normal in the Six Bells as it was a Wedding Anniversary being celebrated I From start to finish the quality of food and drink, efficiency of the staff and the general ambience was first class. There was no indication that these factors would not be the same for visitors on a simple visit, hence the title of this review

Thank you to the six Bells, for giving my parents a lovely 60th Wedding anniversary, you did a terrific job & worked so hard to make it a very special event. We have been coming here as a family for a few years & everyone works so hard, the food & service are great. Couldn’t think of a better place to celebrate such a special event. Thank you to all the team you are all excellent.

Lovely meal. Staff were very attentive and got meals for 11 of us served up together and nice and hot. Very impressed 👍

Great selection and drinks. Particularly enjoyed the woodfordes black adder fruit cider. Reasonably priced and friendly, helpful staff. Would highly recommend

Of the establishments available in the village I would strongly recommend this for the more discerning customers on all counts. We are just disappointed that they are no longer open for their excellent Sunday lunch.

Family birthday meal. Great food, good selection of drinks. Very comfortable furniture. Deserves to thrive as it's a great pub

I visited with my wife and daughter and her fiance to meet up with his parents. We had a most enjoyable evening and extremely well cooked, delicious food.

Great little find on way home from our spa day. Friendly staff and incredible food! 10/10 reccomend!

Had a family lunch here on Saturday, as usual the food was lovely and great service. Good selection on the menu, which seems to be updated regularly. And if you are too full for dessert they have a nice selection of cakes.

Really nice looking pub/restaurant/coffee shop? Choice of beer not great but the staff are nice and a nice clientele. I would recommend popping in for a pit stop or some lunch

Lovely meal on Friday evening. Food was so well cooked - perfect. Staff were friendly and really good service. Hadn’t been here for years and was very pleased that we did .

Brilliant pub and great food. Really recommend the fish and chips in particular. Service was excellent and very friendly. Opening hours are slightly limited so worth checking / booking in advance. Would happily return if I’m in the area again.

Super friendly and welcoming service from a very accommodating landlady. Great place for all the family with good choice of food for adults and children. Reasonably priced, efficient and comfortable setting. Garden for kids and games inside. A very refreshing change to made to feel so welcome as a customer. Looked like it was alive within the community as well, with adverts for local events and open for coffee / cake in the mornings on a Friday. Keep up the good work…if only there were more like this.

This is a great family and dog friendly pub. The atmosphere was really relaxed, the staff were so welcoming and the service was spot on. We really enjoyed our lunch.

Honest pub food to a good standard, many items home made. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble. The atmosphere and decoration are very pleasant although some minor items need a refurb. The toilets were in good condition and very clean. In summary a very pleasant place to have lunch. They are only open at the moment on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and they seem very popular so you need to book.

We used The Six Bells for my mum’s wake. The service leading up to the day was so good, with good comms between us. On the day, the food was excellent (which everyone commented on). Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you

Very helpful and friendly staff. Did us proud for a Celebration of life.

Great food lovely staff. Well worth the stop!

Wow , what a lovely place ...mybtwo great nephews baptism celebration 🎉 Great sandwiches and fantastic sausage rolls..well done

Says place opens at 6, we got there at 6:30 doors were locked and no sign for why they were closed.

We had an excellent meal and enjoyed the restaurant. The friendly staff serve great food. Slightly curious overspill parking and not enough dedicated disabled spaces.

Just had the most delicious meal at The Six Bells, great quality ingredients. It's a beautiful pub with fantastic staff who were incredibly accommodating and understanding of our one year old! We will be back in the morning for coffee and cake, highly recommend!

Very poor. Only open 3 days per week. We had sausages and mash. The skins on the sausages were so hard they were uneatable .Quite small portions. Costs were way over the top. We paid £60 for 2 basic meals and drinks. Our server was Debs who was excellent.

Our walking group of 20 plus had lunch at The Six Bells. They ensured that each table received their meals together, a nice touch not often considered. The food was hot and very tasty. Everyone enjoyed their meal and appreciated the friendly atmosphere. We will certainly return again when we are in the area.

Fantastic food, very friendly, great service. Thankyou and we'll be back. 🥰

Our walking group of 20 plus had lunch at The Six Bells. They ensured that each table received their meals together, a nice touch. The food was hot and everyone commented on how tasty it was. They also said it was a friendly, welcoming place and we will certainly return when we are in the area.

The Six Bells proved the perfect spot for meeting up with friends living being midway between Sudbury and Huntingdon. One friend is hard of hearing and we were given a table away from others and the staff turned down the music without being asked. The food was as fabulous as the last time we visited but the staff are exceptional in their consideration, friendliness and approachability. It is now a fixed venue for us to meet up regularly.

We had Saturday lunch at The 6 Bells and chose the mushroom and lentil pies as we are both veggie/ vegan. Our hostess suggested we order a starter as the pies were made freshly from scratch. We shared some delicious home made hummus and toast and within half an hour our mains were with us. It was so worth the wait! The most delicious pies filled with chunky oyster mushrooms and served with creamy mashed potato and tender spring cabbage. It's not often we get such a delicious and imaginitive vegan/veggie meal but The 6 Bells deliver time and time again . Helpful tip - always book a table on Saturday as unsurprisingly they get very busy!

I booked the Six Bells for a wake and I wasn’t disappointed . The location is really good just 10 minutes from the Crematorium which was ideal because it meant nobody had to drive any further than necessary. The feedback I had about the food from family was really good and there was plenty of it. Nicola and the staff did a Brilliant job and catered for Vegans and Gluten free as well. Thank you Nicola and staff 👏

What is wrong with the residents of Horringer? I don't know how the Beehive is fareing but the Six Bells should have been heaving on a Friday night! We live in Bury which is very well served with pubs but met tonight with friends for a drink at the Bells and were really warmly welcomed. We lived in Horringer over 20 years ago and loved the old Bells. It's gone through some unimpressive incarnations but the current people are lovely and deserve village support.

Lovely village pub with great food and really friendly staff!

All our menu choices from burgers through to specials of the day were tasty and sustaining. The relaxed and friendly atmosphere was ideal for us to enjoy time with friends. Thank you Six Bells!

Attended a wake here. They went out of their way to provide a vegan option for us. They made vegan sandwiches when we were ready to eat and followed this up with vegan desserts for us. They had oat milk available for coffee and tea. The food tasted lovely, the was service brilliant and they couldn’t have done more to accommodate us. It was comforting to have this experience at what was a difficult time.

I came here with friends for a coffee and a catch-up, the coffee was delicious as were the selection of cakes on display. The staff are friendly and helpful and all set in lovely surroundings, we will definitely be back!!

Great home cooked food, fresh ingredients, interesting menu with plenty of specials and well priced for quality meals. Really nice pub with lovely friendly service. Thank you.

Best gluten free roast ever! Nothing missing Yorkshire pudding and strong cheesy cauliflower was superb

Booked a family 90th birthday lunch for 20. Great communication. Personalised menu. Delicious home made food and friendly service all made for a lovely celebration. Thank you! We will definitely be recommending you to our friends

Lovely Venue for a Wake near Bury St Edmunds. Venue beautiful, staff very attentive and couldn't do any more to help us. Food fabulous just what we needed, a few options we changed with no hassle. Would recommend.

We called in for a pint on Saturday as we were passing... what a nice place. After a warm welcome we sat with our drinks and enjoyed the comfy leather sofa, quiet background music and appropriate heating. It's not a local pub to us but will happily return and recommend.

Nice atmosphere and setting and great service. The food was quite average and not worth the price - my burger was £16 and I’ve had better for £10 in other places. Lovely pub but I would probably not go again for the food.

We booked a table here for lunch as part of a visit to Ickworth House. It was a cold and rainy day so we were delighted to get a table near to the fire. The food and service were both excellent - recommended!

Lovely pub. Modern decor - spotless too. Had roast pork which was delicious - best roast potatoes I've had in a long time. Needs more apple sauce though! Also lovely home-made cake. Very pleasant and helpful staff with good service. Will need to go back! Didn't have the dog, but well-behaved pets are welcome.

Even though I forgot to let them know ahead of time that I was a vegan, they made sure I was well catered for. Staff were lovely and friendly, food was served on hot plates and in good time. Very tasty meals. Can’t wait to visit again 😃

Really enjoyed the visit for an impromptu family gathering (9 of us). Great food and excellent, attentive service. Our original booking was for 7 :15 pm, but we were very early, and they were very flexible about changing this at the last minute.

My family & I enjoyed a relaxing meal, with good food and pleasant service, in the conservatory of the Six Bells.

We stopped in after visiting Ickworth House and had a beautiful lunch in the garden (one beetroot tart, one garlic butter chicken and fries). Staff gave us a warm welcome and friendly service throughout, we had a nice spot in the garden, food arrived promptly and it was delicious. I wish I lived nearby so we could return!

First visit here,Staff very welcoming, very nice ambience, clean & great service,Great beer 🍺 & cappuccino & Chelsea bun gorgeous, we will return for a meal as they looked fabulous 😊

Amazing atmosphere, very tasty food and lovely staff! Will come back again

Such a disappointment. Location is great but the food is so below average it's really not worth it. I did actually pointed out that I wasn't happy with it but they didn't offer anything to make it better. Will not come back.

Perfect Sunday Lunch with Friends Thabk you to all the staff and chefs fir a wonderful experience yesterday. Vegans Veggies and gluten free catered for. Menu is amazing. Loved it..... thank you. 🙏

A fabulous Sunday lunch with friends. Not easy to cater for us lot as out of the four of us are two vegans and one vegetarian. For a start there were TWO mains suitable for us vegans. Unheard of in most pubs! Our waitress could not have been more helpful, friendly and understanding. She took note of all our preferences and came back and double checked a couple of times to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. The meals were imaginative, tasty, freshly cooked and plenty of it without being too much. Plentiful bowls of vegetsbles on our table for us to help ourselves and vegetarian gravy too. I had the celeriac steak with all the roast dinner trimmings. Different and delicious. The dining room itself is beautifully decorated and we walked in on a cold March day to a roaring log burner. The four of us could not have been happier and we plan to visit regularly in the future.

Faultless three course meal, so delicious and fresh. All served with style such friendly and efficient service. Great choice of beers and cider at the bar. Great value and can't wait to return. This is a very happy pub.

It’s quite rare to find a restaurant with such attention to detail to all the food, very good preparation and cooking of the dishes we had. The beef was superbly cooked, very soft and moist, lovely and pink, well prepared vegetarian dishes and the accompanying sides were brilliant. Given the price it was spot on value for money, if not slightly better than expected - fantastic! There are o my two issues, we didn’t get the chocolate mousse recipe, so we’ll have to come back! 😉 The other issue is we live near Cambridge so it’s a trek, but we’re already talking about coming back. Staff were attentive and well trained, and the decor and upkeep were immaculate, thank you to Ricky and the team. Keep it up!

Thoroughly enjoyed our Sunday Roasts today after a lovely walk round Ickworth estate. Beautifully cooked food, plentiful servings and the staff were very attentive. Tables are set out in a spacious way AND it’s a dog friendly pub too. One of the best meals we’ve had out in a long time.

Lovely village restaurant shame it’s only open Thursday to Sunday

We were staying nearby so this pub was the nearest. Contemporary decor and socially distanced seating. We four all enjoyed our meals of fish and chips, duck confit, steak burger and chicken breast with skinny fries or fat chips. Good sized portions and good service. We would recommend.

Hard to fault The 6 Bells really. Just an all round warm and relaxing atmosphere and very good food indeed. With so many problems for the pub industry and closures in the last couple of years it is really encouraging to find a pub which seems to be bucking the trend. Definitely worth supporting.

Fantastic place. Excellent quality food. Amazing staff. Can't wait to return. THANKS

I visited on 9th Oct 21 and had the fish and chips but the batter was so thick and heavily fried I had to smash it rather than cut into it which left the fish crumbled and covered in the inedible batter and the chips were unfortunately equally dreadful. I think we must have caught them as the kitchen was closing. The staff didn't seem to notice that we hadn't eaten anything or are used to meals being returned uneaten. When I went to pay, I was asked if I'd enjoyed my meal and said that I hadn't and was cut off by the bar staff while explaining why and told "I'll pass it on" in an extremely curt manner. I have given 2 stars because the village location its self is quite pleasant and drinks were OK, we sat outside so can't comment on the inside other than there appeared to be something missing which is why we sat outside. I only comment now because it has come up on Google today that I have visited and asked for a review. I don't leave reviews as a rule but it worked out expensive to send this meal to the bin and drive back down into Bury for something to eat before going home.

2nd visit for Sunday lunch, Unfortunately as its 70 miles away we only get to go here twice a year when visiting sister in law, otherwise I'd be in there every Sunday, Food, beer, and service is excellent, Venue is rustic but modern and everything is spotless, Looking forward to next visit..

Called in on the off chance with our dog, warm welcome and happy cheerful staff. Had fish n chips, really lovely, would recommend

Great welcome, great service and delicious food. Thank you.

Delicious dinner Saturday and fabulous Sunday roast today. Excellent service, warm, friend ly and welcoming. Will definitely return next time we are visiting Horringer on family business.

Fabulous Food.Good value and excellent friendly staff. Will be booking again.

Tasty food and great service! Beer good too

We visited for evening meal and found that there was a small menu but great food. One of our group is gluten free and they could do everything gluten free apart from the pie, but if you call and ask for the menu and fancy...

Excellent service. Wasn't able to eat there as it was late in the afternoon. Will definitely go back to try the food

Have eaten there before and suggested having lunch there after a walk with a group of friends. The toasted sandwiches we ordered were dry with thick bread and a meagre filling. I regretted suggesting that we went there and won't be going again.

We decided to have a meal on what was the last night of our holidays in the area. We had been previously but only for a few drinks. The menu is quite small but what you get is very well prepared and served food. Out of all of the food my family had, the best was probably the sirloin steak (medium) that my wife had. Probably the best steak I've ever tasted in the UK (best one being in Portugal) Well worth a visit!!

Nice and clean, staff great, going on Friday for evening meal.

Had a family dinner here whilst staying on the Ickworth Estate. Great menu that catered for all the family with good vegetarian options. Was more of a restaurant-feel than a pub but that made it more of a dinner experience which is just what we...

Finished work and booked into the Bells, beer Beaver Town which was amazing, wine sublime. The food was freshly cooked and too be honest some of the best I've ever had in any pub. Just an amazing night, staff and food just brilliant. Thanks for...

Delightful country pub with a charming garden. The welcoming smile one gets on arrival here is as important to me as the good food.

Six of us arrived at the last minute on a Friday night having been let down by the Ickworth Hotel. Great experience, from the friendly, helpful and flexible staff, to the good range of quality wines and beers and the well-cooked, interesting food. Pork belly,...

Fantastic family dinner and great service by Louise and others staff.......

I ate at the Six Bells with my family and some friends. The food was excellent, as was the range and quality of drinks. Nicky and her staff were also very accommodating in hosting an event I organised. Highly recommended!

Superb food and atmosphere. Friendly and courteous staff.

Me and my partner visited last night and thoroughly enjoyed our date night. The service was outstanding and the food was amazing. Lovely presentation of the food and the staff were friendly. We will be back again.

Good food, service was friendly. Will definitely go again

Warm welcome from friendly staff, with lovely seating in conservatory area for us and our dog. Veggie main was very imaginative - chickpea and sweetcorn chop. Had nice atmosphere - classy but not stuffy... great for a date night.

This was our first meal out after the lockdown. We have decided to go for a day out and while driving around we decided to stop off at one of the pubs. We have chosen The Six Bells, and what a great choice this was....

Excellent food, kids and dogs welcome....10/10

We had Sunday lunch here after a recommendation from our daughter who had dined here in the past. We booked a table and sat inside. The pub is modern very clean and has a good atmosphere. There is a good size rear garden to enjoy...

Made my 30th birthday really special - a challenge given the current global pandemic. Super safe and clean, friendly and chatty (but not overly chatty) staff. Food was incredible. We all had the Welsh Rarebit followed by pork and gnocchi or swordfish. They even served...

A delightful village pub with clean and modern interior. Lovely garden with nice planting. Great menu, very reasonably priced and fantastic staff. Would highly recommend visiting for dinner, lunch or just a few drinks.

Friendly welcoming service, fab freshly cooked food all cooked perfectly. The desserts were absolutely lovely- the ice cream was creamy and delicious especially the honeycomb ice cream. Will definitely be visiting again!

Used the Six Bells as local to us to purchase 4 portions of fish and chips this week. Phone call in the afternoon to place an order with agreed collection time. Arrived few minutes early for our collection, order was obviously freshly cooked and ready...

We had a lovely Sunday lunch. The menu was interesting and varied. Really good food and in pleasant surroundings with very nice staff. Overall a very good venue.

great food and lovely staff too.

Great Sunday Roast. Friendly staff

The Six Bells is open again and serving great beer and food currently on weekends but check the website. Nice to have a pint of real beer again in clean surroundings. You don't need to book to buy a drink but you do for food so give them a ring and enjoy...

We went to the Six Bells for Sunday lunch and were so happy with our overall experience. The staff were inviting, polite and very accommodating to our needs. We pre booked and were seated immediately upon arrival. The food came out beautifully prepared and in record time. The whole place was really clean with quaint decorations, even the bathrooms were extremely cleaned and smelled like lemon. We would 100% return there for a family meal again.
