| I recently went into this pub after hearing about the refurbishment and was very impressed. I spoke to the staff (who were very polite) and they told me the pub is now run by a couple who lease the premises. From what I understand Leaseholders and tenants pay high prices for their beer unlike Weatherspoons who have massive buying power and get their beer at next to nothing there is no way they can compete. (hence why pubs are going skint!) It obviously cost a lot of money to do up the pub which is now keeping out the undesirables - I say well done and good luck! jobber - 3 Sep 2010 16:31 |
| Yes,they've done a good job tarting this place,and its now unrecognisable to what it was. But does it offer anything new to the other countless 'upmarket' pubs that now seek to serve the 'brown cords from London brigade' in Bury St Edmunds?Well..........no. And the tariff?Very expensive. So a nice paint-job,yet strangely sterile and generic in feel. Bring on the Wetherspoons at the Corn Exchange site,then maybe pubs like this will have to sit-up and start to become more competitive price-wise. It's high time that English pub culture was given back to the working classes,and these pubs do nothing to do that. toolster - 2 Aug 2010 21:38 |
| The comment posted Dec 2008 refers to the pub when it was known as the Rising Sun. You need to visit this pub to see the incredible transformation that has taken place. The inside is full of antiques and a chesterfield. There are even newspapers to read. The bar staff all look very smart indeed in their black uniforms and are very polite and helpful. The food is excellent and the patio garden is lovely too. It's a completely different pub to what it used to be. Please go and support the new licensees - you won't be disappointed. prudence - 23 May 2010 13:22 |
| I went in here today for the first time in years. What a transformation. Now called the St Edmund's Tavern. This place has certainly had the treatment. Now turned into a stylish olde world style bar that looks to attract the food crowd. I found the £3-10 for a pint a IPA a bit pricey but it was one of the best IPA's I've had in the town where it's brewed. I'd certainly drink here again and it's definitely lost the rough image it used to have. Professor_Peach - 19 Apr 2010 19:52 |
