The best restaurants serving British food in St Edmundsbury East of England

We had a lovely Birthday meal and are planning to go back. We could not had better Hosts Excellent. We have been back again

Had an absolutely brilliant meal with my family here tonight. Great food, great service. Ali was an absolute delight, his humour and charm made the experience priceless!

Had the dinner tasting menu. The food was very imaginative, original and delicious! Enjoyed the chef's explanations before each course and the waiting staff were very friendly. Would definitely recommend!

NOW PERMANENTLY CLOSED :-( The Plough at Rede is one of Suffolks best kept secrets. A thatched pub with oak beams, an open fire, all tucked away in the tiny hamlet of Rede. Stunning location, fabulous atmosphere with a warm welcome and the best food for miles around. Brian and Joyce have been running the Plough for over 30 years with customers returning time and time again. Ide give 100 stars if I could.

Lovely food. Family run pub, not part of any chain.

I popped in as I was passing for some lunch, good variety on the menus. I had a pigs in blanket baguette with fries off the Christmas snack menu amazing plate of tasty food, will definitely return when passing again

1921 Angel Hill is a lovely welcoming restaurant with friendly and professional staff. The idea of the ever popular tasting menu is a good one as it allows you to sample different dishes. The food is thoughtful, innovative and tasty, with the standout dish being the mersea crab (amazing!). However, I thought it was expensive for the small portion sizes and I was disappointed with the duck replacement dish (a goats curd cannoli). I totally understand the concept, as I have enjoyed many “tapas style” tasting menus in the past. However, to spend £150 (for 2 people including 3 drinks) yet leave not feeling totally full was a little disappointing. 1921 is an enjoyable, elegant evening and I recommend the experience.

Beautiful ribs and good service

The seating situation during busy times is not fun as people circle tables like vultures. Additionally, the seats are worn and gross. Great food and coffee. Dog & kid-friendly, too.

We arrived for a booked table for lunch on 11thDec and a lot of things were already off the menu ( specials board) . We had a light lunch and then when I went to restaurant. Side counter to pay and to order coffees I was directed to the counter on the other side . They then said my coffee would appear on the high shelf. I left my friend ( on her own) 3 times to retrieve the coffee and the last time I asked and was told someone else had taken it. By this time it was time for the start of the film and I had to take my coffee in with me. It’s appalling we weren’t served coffee at our table. I won’t be returning and I will be putting others off .

Stayed here again for a family Christmas get together. Rooms were great, nice and cosy. Also booked a table for 10 in the restaurant for the Christmas menu. Food and service were excellent. Breakfast was also very well cooked and delicious.

9 of us went out which was really good to get together with friends- but the food I would say was rather lacking Starter of Creamy Mushrooms was excellent but the Main Mushroom Wellington was over Microwaved the pastry was very hard and tough I cannot speak for the rest but alot was left - also as being staff I was very disappionted when the AM did not let us have our staff discount

What a little gem of a place.Table of 4 booked for their friday set lunch.Very good choices and are they were able to cater for my dietary requirements. Top that with a very friendly greeting and pleasant staff made it a day to remember and will go again.

We went there to celebrate 2 birthdays and regretted it It seems like the waiter was avoiding us, food was average. The ordered the salmon taglaitelle and thought it would be a piece of Salmon but it was few pieces of salmon mixed in the pasta. Ordered beef but it was dry with no sauce. We only ate half of our food and asked the waiter if we can have the left over in boxes he said yes and then threw everything in the bin. I asked for a coffee, never got it but it was counted on the bill. Ordered ice cream as it was in the children meal, at the end it was counted as separate adults ice cream And this is just to name a few negative points from our evening of birthdays celebration …

bit surprised they use metal staples in the packaging , thought this would be an absolute no for a food prep area - accident waiting to happen
