The best restaurants in St Edmundsbury East of England

Went for Sunday roast. Asked for turkey but it wasn’t carved off the bone like all the places we have been too. Instead it looked like processed meat on a roll. I was cut 2 very thin slices but that was ok as it was so bland and tasteless that I left it. The rest of dinner was ok except for rubbery parsnips, they were not crisp or roasted at all/ much. The desert was very nice. It’s a lovely pub in a pretty town ( thought it was a village but it seems Clare is a small town) We would go back for drinks in the garden as that was pleasant but not for Sunday dinner.

We went as a last minute meal , we were concerned as only one other couple in restaurant but thought give it a try . So glad we did we had a pizza each and they were lovely cooked to perfection hubby had some extra toppings and they were generously added to the pizza now my only gripe please add pineapple as an extra I love pineapple on my pizza and please do a pepperoni calzone and u r my go to pizza restaurant.

Very average experience. Staff seemed overwhelmed and stressed, subsequently the service wasn’t great. The food was obviously mass produced and very average. One dish was very salty and the bread was terrible. Overpriced for what it is. We wanted to try it but will not be returning- we will go to a proper curry house next time we want to eat Indian food.

Thought we were going to have lunch in an old interesting pub. Wrong. It was all closed up & couldn't see a notice to tell us otherwise. Shame.

Rude and very unfriendly staff , food was way below average , Has gone down hill over the years , just like many other national trust cafe , national trust sanwiches served in carboard packaging are simply awful , would recomend to take your own food and drinks because going to the cafe will ruin your day for sure

Recently went with friends for my birthday - excellent meal as always. Food was hot and delicious - and their portions are more than generous. Try their Eton Mess Sundae its amazing. Have booked with friends for their Christmas Festive Menu, but will probably be back before then. Can highly recommend this pub for their meals which are excellent value for money and friendliness of the staff

Just had a chicken tikka vindaloo and chicken tikka masala both of which were probably the worst I have had. Onion bahji was greasy and chewy. Rice was mediocre at best. Save your money and go elsewhere

My son walked in and asked for 1 egg fried rice and 1 mushroom fried rice. He was told there was a minimum spend of £15 I have never heard of a minimum spend when you go in to a takeaway and wait for your order. Fully understand for delivery but not when you go in and order. The cost was £11, it’s not as though he asked for a bag of prawn crackers at a couple of quid. Imagine if every shop had a minimum spend!! Needless to say Benny’s chip shop was happy to take his money. Won’t go back there out of principle

Called in here to look at the antiques. We bought a small item and were served by the most miserable sour faced, unfriendly, man we had ever seen. On the way out we bought some of the excellent cakes on offer to take home and were served by a helpful friendly young lady and a jolly friendly young lad. Maybe they could teach the old bloke a few things about customer service ?

The other day me and my family had some food from here. I had chicken balls with rice sweet and sour sauce with bamboo shoots my grandad had spare ribs and noodles and my nan had BBQ pork with fried rice. We drove here to collect the food and it was nice and warm and it was delicious. I highly recommend here to go for a Chinese takeaway.

Just went to the cafe at 3.50 only to be told, sorry, we are closed. even though it is as advertised as closing at 4 , i can't believe that a cafe inside an entertainment venue closes that early

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.

Food is amazing, I had cod and chips, daughter had ribs and chips it was delicious, will certainly be ordering from them again

Booked in for two days. The first night eat elsewhere. Ordered a drink and food at the bar. The steward asked where was I sitting I said I had not decided as yet but likely to be beside the garden window. The only other customer said it would be hard to find us. Food was tasty. The rooms were clean and like many Best Western dated. Served its purpose of the stay. Room was like a small garden single story room in a block of rooms.

If you’re a pizza lover—or just someone who enjoys great food—Pizzamamamia is a must-visit. I can’t wait to come back and try more from their menu. Highly recommend!
