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

Excellent experience at Tollgate. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was absolutely delicious, service was quick and the sticky toffee pudding was the best we've ever had, even people at nearby tables were commenting on how good it looked. I definitely recommend this pub.

I had come in for some sides/starters with some friends with a few drinks, all was good, will return. the halloumi starter was our favourite

A lovely little pub . Very friendly and good real ales on !!

Was given a £50.00 token for my birthday. Booked and went today. Dressed smartly. Parked in car park which was full of puddles and ended up entering the hotel with muddy boots and trousers. Felt embarrassed but needn't have worried. Receptionist was busy on the phone so found our own way to restaurant. We both ordered beef. Literally couldn't cut it, the potatoes were also tough (reheated?). The waitress asked us if everything was ok and I pointed out the beef and potatoes. She offered us a steak knife which we took. I gave up with my beef and potatoes my husband valiantly carried on. The puddings were good. The hotel had the vibe of a hostel, the clientele wondering around in jeans, wellies and trainers, lots of children running around (I was told later on that this was a family hotel), we had people with stocking feet, wellies and dressing gowns in the restaurant. The staff were great but the food was not. When we received the bill we saw a discount of £6.00 on it, I asked what this was for and apparently this was supposed to cover the meal I couldn't eat.

Me and my partner had a lovely meal at the six bells. I would definitely recommend the burger and bangers & mash. The drink selection was varied, with a great mix of beers. The owners were very welcoming and the staff were lovely.

First visit. All staff very friendly and welcoming. Nice busy pub with a pleasant atmosphere. Had the Sunday carvery which didn't disappoint. Good choice of turkey, beef and gammon with a varied choice of vegetables. Following a perfect Sunday lunch we will be returning again. Recommend booking well in advance to avoid disappointment.

The most appalling Christmas Day Lunch I have ever experienced in my 57 year life so far and for over £100 per head I was most upset. Nothing about the meal today resembled the photographs on this site or the promise of a ‘gourmet’ meal in the marketing materials. There was no welcome, glasses were dirty, cutlery worn and poorly cleaned, my seat was failing/broken, coffee cups were out on the table at the start of the meal, the staff told us they were hired in for the day and were clearly not trained in service as the bread was served by the waiters using their hands to put it onto the plates!!! The waiter even scraped the plates clean at the table when clearing away. There was no form of any welcome on arrival, my salmon was still attached to the skin so was inedible, the sorbets were mainly melted into fluid, there was nothing ‘gourmet’ about any of the experience - the turkey, the gravy or any of the vegetables - and was worse than the most basic of reheated microwave pub grubs. A total disappointment

Been a few times for Sunday lunch and been lovely every time. A little expensive but good portions. Great garden with fantastic views for the summer months.

Fantastic place! My new favourite... lovely food, consistently good and something slightly different. The atmosphere is warm and friendly and everyone just seems good looking..... The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and the hostess with the two different trainers was great. The staff really enjoy working at this place and say their boss is great! I am off to the Christmas faire this weekend.... taking mother to my new found oasis...

Great all day breakfast. Very welcoming to our dog, she even got a complimentary sausage. Quite busy as it was a Sunday. Lots of visitors for a Sunday roast

Great night had at The Grapes. Terrific atmosphere, great band. Jo and her staff worked their socks off! Even with a slight mishap with our drinks, Jo and her team sorted it graciously and without any quibbles. Will definitely be returning.

As always the staff were helpful and polite. However, we were not happy about the air conditioning being put on in October and as we were sitting almost directly underneath an air vent, it became very uncomfortable and chilly sitting there. This spoilt the experience somewhat. I ordered the salmon muffin for lunch which was on a 'toasted' muffin. Sadly, the muffin was rather soft and didn't taste toasted at all. Otherwise an agreeable place to eat.

Had the jacket potato with cheese could of done with butter was a bit dry, Your teapots need bleaching! They have not been done for a long time!

Quiet country pub in the middle of nowhere. Met with friends for-dinner. Food and drink options were good. It’s decent pub grub. We enjoyed our time here and would go back again.

Came for a family gathering and found the venue very convenient - and we stayed overnight after the event so this was even better. We were able to bring in food for the event and there was a good space available for meeting, chatting with drinks and sitting to eat the sandwiches and cakes. Staff were very friendly and the drinks were well kept and served by friendly staff. A good evening. The rooms are small but well-appointed and although no breakfast is served they frovide an inclusive breakfast pack with cereal, juice and snacks. Rooms seem newly built as an annex and have good facilities - double bed in our room was firm enoough - large TV and good shower in the en-suite.
