The Tavern On St Johns
Located in the independent heart of historic Bury St Edmunds, we combine a friendly, classic pub atmosphere with a relaxed and informal food offering. We offer an extensive range of alcoholic drinks/soft drinks and hot beverages. No decent pub is complete without a great real ale selection and we feel it is hugely important to have something for everyone.

Pub grub done local and done very well is what we're going for here at The Tavern. Using only the best, fantastic local suppliers for all of our meat we really do have some 'knockout' dishes. If burgers are your thing, every Thursday we offer 2-4-1 on our fantastic burger menu. But don't worry pizza lovers, we've got you covered too, as every Friday night we do our 'All you can eat Pizza Party Night!

The staff went above and beyond to make our family meal of 10 people enormously welcome and well looked after. The food was delicious, the beer great and the atmosphere was splendid. Thankyou The Tavern.

Great value on a "2 for 1 burger" Thursday. Lovely food and staff. Also serve a good cocktail. Nice place to go as a couple or as a group.

We enjoyed a lovely meal here. We're not local and to be honest based on the website, name and menu we had assumed it was more of a cosy tavern type place which it isn't as is definitely more of a bright restaurant. Food was good though and still a nice looking space.

Plentiful Sunday lunch....piping hot, good choice of vegetables ( had to add the cauliflower cheese which was lovely ). Both beef and chicken dinners were tender and flavoursome and extra gravy provided was nice touch. Have to say, service was very good and, without exception, given with a smile. The Tavern certainly provides good food in a modern, airy premises.

Our experience here on Thursday 26th August was fantastic. The food was delicious (definitely get the halloumi fries and thank me later).
There was a small issue with our order, and we were totally blaming ourselves, but the staff were so so good at sorting it. Their service was amazing.
We required wheelchair access too and they were super accomodating and helpful.
We enjoyed it so much we booked a table for the following night, which was equally as good a meal.
Thank you all.

Went on Father's Day and it was pretty busy. I would recommend making a reservation if you plan on a Sunday Roast, regardless if its a holiday. Food was good, wine selection could be better. Lousy acoustics and it being busy made for a very loud atmosphere. Service was excellent, but their are better roasts in town.

Wonderful local Family run Tavern. A warm atmosphere, friendly service and delicious meals served everyday of the week. Take advantage of their special offers during the week. Sunday Roasts are really enjoyable, finished off with a dessert. Booking essential.
