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

It was not our first visit and we were used to top quality food and service. We were disappointed tonight. Food was wonderful as always. But service was s bit slap dash. We asked for an espresso at the end of the meal and gave up after more than 10 minutes wait when all tables around us were being served. When we paid we were explained that there is not such a thing as a coffee, it only comes a dessert etc. We gave constructive feedback making it clear it was not a complaint and we were told that we were the one to blame for the poor service experience. So… food? Wonderful. Service? To be improved

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 .

Had a quick bit to eat, food was good and the staff were very nice. Big back garden will be great when we get a bit of sun. Will be returning.

The staff are really friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious and plentiful and at a reasonable price. We will definitely be going there again when we visit Bury Saint Edmunds

Went to the cafe on a Friday prior to a meeting to grab a sandwich and read up on some stuff for the meeting and was served by a lovely young man that was incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful. I was able to sit in peace and do what I needed to do whilst enjoying lunch.

Don’t expect smiles in this place, but expect waiting for 10 min just to get tea in a dirty cup

We had 2 coronation chicken jacket potatoes and 2 coffees we had to send them back as the potatoes were cold,even when they came back they were slightly better but still not particularly hot we couldn't be bothered to complain again so we ate and left if you can't get a potato hot there's really is no hope pleasant staff and lovely surroundings but the food was very poor

Always friendly and with a great range of beer. It's a proper pub. No food as such but a half pint of scratchings will see any man right.

I had a 60th celebration party in the green room on Saturday, the 11th of January. It was really good. If I had to make any criticism, it’s just that they’re quite restrictive and pigeonhole you into what they want you to do! However on the whole it is always good as we stay often!! The food was excellent and so were the staff, particularly Georgie she is a real asset to them. She is just brilliant…👏👏

My parents hosted their wedding reception here and the day was wonderful. The staff were very attentive but low key. Jessica our host/planner was friendly and approachable. We visited the venue beforehand and she gave us all the information we needed for arranging the day. They sorted anything we needed quickly and efficiently while we were there, helped us to decorate the room and gather our things afterwards. The room was lovely and festive for a Christmas time wedding and the bar staff were great.

Exceptional large comfortable venue and for £1.50 tea and coffee plus free refills this has Costa and Starbucks beat from here to America. Food is acceptable venue appealing large comfortably 👌

No where near as when Sodexo had the contract to run it. Only one gluten free cake still so absolutely no improvement from when I last visited. Only went as we had seats on the ground floor of the apex for a gig so saved a trip upstairs. Might as well have not bothered

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

Food - horrible Drinks ran out of most ordered one finally but came nothing like the picture to have kids sprinkles on top not a cherry. AwfulBad atmosphere 50% off pizza night they had nothing but gluten free bases with limited toppings and looked nothing like advertised looked like a £1 frozen pizza from Iceland at best. Disappointment. Shall not be returning anytime soon!!!!!!!
