  “Its a great historic venue and typical Wetherspoon pub. Nothing fancy, just good quality food and drinks at sensible prices. It was busy so that tells you something about their business model. Food came out hot, cooked to a high cuisine standard and decent portion size. We visit Wetherspoon pubs UK wide and with a good choices and wide menu its difficult to know what to order. Couple gripes...additional table cleaners needed as there were a few tables with left over food. Secondly, I ordered our drinks and went to sit down at our table...15 mins later no drinks. We'd forgotten you take your drinks on order...so why didn't anyone on seeing the drinks on the bar arrange to have them delivered to our table, as a one off?? Maybe as its not on anyone's job description...staff are not encouraged to be pro active and or think outside the box.”

  “Well,there was good and there was bad. Went for something to eat Sunday evening,been meaning to try the spice bag for a while now,i cannot imagine what I got is how it is meant to be,it was so salty I struggled to eat it,I should have sent it back but that’s just wasteful so I persevered. The beer was good and wow,what a building. Went back for breakfast the next day and pleased to say everything was as good as it normally is in a Wetherspoons.”

  “A great place to enjoy a good meal at a very reasonable price. The food was delicious, the portions were generous, and the menu offers a wide selection. This Wetherspoon is located in the impressive historic Corn Exchange building, which was built in 1862 as the town’s corn exchange and is one of the most beautiful buildings in the centre of Bury St Edmunds. The building has been beautifully preserved, and you can still enjoy its historic architecture and unique atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the service was quick, and everything was clean. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely come back again. I highly recommend this Wetherspoon!”

  “A fantastic venue for a Wetherspoons the glass roof is really something else ! Service was prompt and staff were very friendly, even though it was a busy Saturday lunch time. Food was good and very hot. I would definitely recommend a visit if in Bury St Edmunds, we will absolutely visit again.”

  “Enjoyed seeing the exposed, date stamped Victorian girders holding up the glass roof. These probably couldn't be manufactured in Britain today. My wife doesn't like chain pubs and I had to persuade her to enter with a photo of the interior. We both enjoyed the unique ambience. Two light meals with drinks, just over £20. Food quality more than acceptable, staff friendly. The boss of Wetherspoons is a genius for commandeering historic buildings like this.”

  “Outstanding food, I hit Thursday curry night and it did not disappoint. Very inexpensive, great for groups and families. Unique venue, very noisy, be warned. But if you are noisy as well, no worries! Recommended!”

  “Picturesque location. Good service. Plenty of seating and warm and cosy environment. Stairs to get upstairs, but there is a lift inside. Although to get into the building there is steps so not wheelchair accessible.”

  “I had another enjoyable meal today at Wetherspoon. As a vegetarian, I tend to stick to the same dish—and it never disappoints. The food was well-prepared, and as always, I paired it with a glass of Pinot. The venue itself is spacious with a relaxed atmosphere. I also appreciated the clean WC facilities—always a plus. Consistent, reliable, and good value.”

  “Had to review my review again as I feel something has changed for the better. The quality of the food that's coming out of the kitchen has improved. The plates are not as cold as previously stated in my last review of the place. Staff are and have always been friendly and helpful and the only thing I can say is I do miss when someone used to come to my table and ask if everything was okay with the meal. The removal of this personal touch has probably been made from way up above but it was nice and at times important. Overall I think the establishment is working constantly to improve their standards and that deserves a few more stars.”
