The Lion - St Edmundsbury

This is a lovely pub, with friendly service and excellent food in the middle of a lovely village. We've been here many times and never had a disappointing meal. The staff are great, and the place has a warm and traditional ambience without being old fashioned.

Nice restaurant in a local pub environment. Good selection of choice. Thought the starters were slightly overpriced and quantity was disappointing. The main course was better value for money and of reasonable quality however the meal could have been served at a better temp. There seemed to be a delay in the meal being rung as ready and the serving team getting the meal from the kitchen to the table. Desserts were very good. Overall our bill came to £110 for a table of three. Nice location, good choice of menu but perhaps we thought the quality could have been better achieved on this occasion. We would return.

Loved our meal! Great value for money. Staff friendly and accommodating. Atmosphere warm and inviting. Sunday well spent!

I had a pleasant dining experience overall. However, there were a few issues that prevented me from giving a five-star rating. I requested a side salad without onion, but it came with onion. I ordered a steak cooked 'blue', but it was served medium rare. Additionally, I asked for a dessert with custard, but it was served with ice cream instead.

It has been a while since we dined at this restaurant. We were very impressed with the new decor. The service was excellent from the moment we arrived. They did not rush us to our table, allowing us to relax at the bar with a drink. Our server, a polite young lady, apologized for a slight delay, even though we did not feel inconvenienced. The restaurant was busy with a large group, which may have been why she felt the need to apologize. She was knowledgeable about the menu and informed us right away when a starter we wanted was limited in availability. Throughout our meal, she ensured we were comfortable and kept our drinks filled. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. I mentioned to my husband that we should make the effort to dine here more often.
