Usually think this place is great but last week our burger bun was frozen solid! as we couldn’t really eat it the waitress apologised and offered us a dessert instead, but we’re charged for both when we got the bill. Also the men’s toilets were absolutely filthy ? disappointing

We had our wedding lunch here on 23rd December, the chef and manager were incredibly accommodating and we had a superb long lunch. The food was amazing and the staff very attentive. We hired the upstairs room which suited the 30 guests very well. Thank you it was amazing and the guests are still commenting on the food!

Ordered the burger which came out with a completely frozen bun. After sending back it was returned warm but rock solid like concrete so completely inedible. Waitress told me they don’t use frozen bread but my bun had ice on it and was frozen solid. Being absolutely starving I did eat the meat which was lovely, fries were cold after going back and coming back out. My husband ordered the chicken burger which had a completely different type of bun and was fine. It was good he said but he had finished eating several minutes before my meal was returned. Overpriced

I would not go back if you paid me. The waiting staff were lovely and I couldn’t fault them, they did their best but the food was very expensive rubbish. The chef couldn’t even accommodate a simple request of food (egg and chips) due to food allergies and there being nothing on the menu that was suitable. They wanted me to pay £8 for a poached egg !!! I had 9 chips which cost £4 and the oil they triple cooked them in left a disgusting taste in the mouth like nothing I have ever had before. This wasn’t the first time either as we had tried the restaurant 2 weeks before and got the same disgusting food issues, but that time I tried the GF pasta dish which was made for Tom Thumb I think and was dreadful for the price, but we gave them the benefit of the doubt and tried again and it was just as bad if not worse. I don’t think I have ever had food as bad as this anywhere in my life or been treated so badly by the chef who was the one stating the poached egg would cost me £8. I can not recommend this restaurant (loosely using that word) to anyone for anything. Avoid at all costs, there are far far better actual restaurants in Bury St Edmunds that you can go to and get much better food and better value for money.

Oh dear... where to begin. They were out of dry martini, so instead of making a dry martini and lemonade they brought an expresso martini as it was the closest thing they had. I'm no expert, but they are quite different.The menu is moderatly priced without the quality to back it up. The pasta I had was chewie (at best), the fish was flavourless and the extra chicken option we requested was ignored but still billed.All in all, there will be no return visit. Which is a shame, as the cinema is great so you'd think the reatraunt would be too.

We have enjoyed Sunday lunch at No. 4 a couple of times in the past couple of months. Today I had carrot and cumin soup as a starter. The soup was warming for a cool Autumn day with just the right amount of cumin. For our mains we had slow roast pork belly. The pork was tender and the skin lovely and crunchy. The parsnips, carrots and cauliflower cheese were tasty and cooked perfectly. The staff were attentive at all times. If you haven’t visited No. 4 for a Sunday lunch it really is worth it. You’ll love it.

Very disappointed, booked a table for 3 people to have a meal after the film. When we arrived at the restaurant we were struck at a table away from the main bar ,when I complained about where we were sitting we were moved into the main part of the restaurant,why we were not seated there in the first place is a mystery. And to make things worse when my wife and myself ordered ,the dish my wife ordered from the special menu was not available. and the 3 choices on the main menu were also not available, the chef told us that he didn’t order enough . My wife and myself have been going to the cinema and restaurant for at least 15 years, I’m sorry to say the standard has gone down in the restaurant.

Very tasty poke bowl with wild mushrooms. I went for a small but maybe could have had a large (although I had room left for a very good slice of coffee cake). Really good service with friendly and helpful staff.

The food here was really lovely. It was the best beef rib I’ve ever had! The staff were attentive and friendlyFor dinner, the ambience could have been better- maybe with little battery powered lamps on each table or some lamps around the room?Otherwise a fab little dinner spot!

We had organised a family meal to celebrate a birthday and booked the newly refurbished function room for a meal followed by a film. Staff were friendly, efficient and helpful. The food was well-cooked and tasty and portions were generous. The function room was a lovely space for parties and events. Thank you for a fantastic evening!

Quite possibly the best roast dinner I have every had. Service was amazing. Absolutely nothing the fault.

Came here for Sunday roast today and it was honestly amazing! I don’t tend to leave many reviews, but felt this place needs to be praised for doing such a great job. The staff are all friendly, attentive and nothing is too much trouble. The place is clean and tidy throughout. The Food was beyond amazing, we got starters, Sunday roast and a dessert for £23 per person, and I cannot fault a single thing! All food was cooked perfectly, nice size servings and presentation was on point. We spoke to the chef, and you can just tell he truly loves what he does and cares about the food he serves- which shows in the amazing meals he presents. No. 4 has become a new favourite of ours, great food at great prices- I know we will be back soon!! Thank you all for an amazing meal ??

Had a fabulous slow roast belly of pork today. Fresh veg and beautiful roast potatoes with a lovely cauliflower cheese on the side. I opted for no Yorkshire pudding but could see they were homemade and my companions vouched they were delicious. Fabulous summer berry trifle for dessert afterwards with plenty of fruit, one of the nicest trifles I’ve eaten in a long time. Thoroughly recommend the roasts - will be back !
