About Edmunds Restaurant

Inside West Suffolk College in Bury Saint Edmunds, Edmunds Restaurant is a training restaurant where students learning to cook and wait tables prepare and serve the food. The short menu runs to six dishes, among them a Scotch Egg, a Caesar Salad with Chicken and an Apple Parfait with Blackberries and Meringue. Lunch and evening meals are both served, and the restaurant opens Tuesday to Friday, closing Mondays and at weekends. Thursday evenings follow a theme, with past dinners built around James Bond, Greek, Thai, Fruit de Mer and a plant based taster menu, and the themes are listed online ahead of each date. Tables are booked, and reservations tend to fill well in advance. Private dinners are arranged for large groups, with a glass of Prosecco on arrival, and a bar operates alongside the table service. Christmas lunch and Christmas dinner are also served.

Customer Review Summary

The Thursday themed evenings are what diners return for again and again, from a Greek night to a Thai menu whose duck with red curry drew a special mention, plus a Fruit de Mer evening and a James Bond night that ended with a roulette game guests called great fun. Close behind sits the fact that this is a student training restaurant, and reviewers repeatedly praise the young people cooking and serving, several predicting they will make great chefs and calling the food good enough for far grander rooms. Christmas lunch and a plant based taster menu also come up, along with a private dinner for eighty where guests were met with a glass of Prosecco. Several note how hard a booking is to come by, one joking it rivals landing a Taylor Swift ticket, and suggest going online to find a themed evening and reserving well in advance. Others simply mention coming back a second time within one week.

  • Dave Southwell
    “This is a fabulous place to go for a top quality meal with wonderful service and a great atmosphere. So many talented young people it's hardly surprising that getting a reservation is only slightly easier that getting a Taylor Swift ticket, but in terms of value for money, go to Edmunds.”
