The best restaurants in Risby St Edmundsbury East of England

Best burger I’ve had in a long while! Was really filling and tasty. Definitely be back when I’m in the area next.

Lovely food, great staff, nice atmosphere

★★★★★ I visited The Nook during a group cycle ride, and we were warmly welcomed. This place is a gem, offering a great choice of hot and cold food and drinks in lovely surroundings, complete with attractive artwork on the walls. I had the Cornish pasty, which was piping hot, delicious, and generously filled. The fresh and crunchy salad that accompanied it was how I liked it. As someone who enjoys supporting independent businesses, I highly recommend this fabulous coffee shop. It’s a must-visit if you’re heading to the barn next door or looking for a cosy spot with delicious food.

I was in the area and in need of somewhere to park up for the night, I’ve used coopers cabin once before but never tried Risby TruckStop and thought I’d give it a go. They accept SNAP so booking in was easy, I was greeted by a guy on the way in who took my name and registration then he told me where to park based on what time I was leaving in the morning. Having never been here before, I walked over to the toilets and saw there was a diner that was open so took a look what was on offer. The staff were very polite and helpful and explained I had £5 off of food as I was parking overnight. I ordered my dinner based upon seeing another ‘very happy’ truckers meal and within 10/15 minutes or so my food was bought over to me. It was very nice, hot and fresh and well worth the money. From the feeling I got, they sound like they are under new management and I heard a guy saying they are going to refurbish the driver facilities. I did use the facilities and they were clean and tidy. The restaurant was very welcoming and looked freshly painted. The Truck parking area is hard standing with no huge potholes and in good condition. They also have a truck wash here that’s open during the day. I will definitely use this place again and will definitely consider stopping for the occasional breakfast or lunch here when passing. Well done to everyone at Risby TruckStop who are clearly putting in the effort.

Shocking place, misleading advertising saying cafe serving hot n cold food, cafe permanently closed, charging £5 for a shower outrageous. Coopers only in this to rip pple off, total disregard for welfare of fellow truck drivers.

Our second visit in 2 days while staying in Suffolk. The food is excellent and such a warm welcome.

Website makes this look a lit better than it is in reality. Sandwiches, panini and toasties bought in already made and poor choice. Nothing vegetarian. Jacket potato was old and reheated. Cup of tea was acceptable . Would not eat there again.
