Bennet Arms - St Edmundsbury

I’ve rocked up at the Bennett Arms having driven from Plymouth to come and visit my Dad, and I couldn’t ask for more. I very rarely give stars (if I ever have), because nothings perfect, but the Bennett Arms is close enough to perfect...for me. I rang two days ago to ask for space in their field to park my camper. Totally accommodating and welcoming on the phone, and the camper parking is free! There’s limited facilities with toilets and a water point, but I’m only here one night so don’t need any more. The pub itself is big with an open bar restaurant area, a pool table and a huge outside space that’s broken into different outside rooms with a big marquee and (what looks like) a BBQ bar. Boyd met me at the bar and helped me park up before popping back to the pub to give the kitchen the heads up, as they were about to close. I ordered a burger and a really good plate of food arrived in front of me. The staff were really friendly and helpful, as was Teddy, a local gent who helped me choose a good local pint The place is alive with people of all ages enjoying themselves in the restaurant, playing pool or sat in different groups, but there’s a really friendly and happy air about the place. Not dog friendly inside, because of the restaurant, but totally welcome outside, and the pub will deliver food and drink to your camper in their field if you like. Great place.

The pub was great for the football, drinks are cheap and are delivered to the tabel, zacks bar outside was amazing, he was so lovely and helpful. Very good pub will definitely be back again.

I came to the Bennet Arms with some friends who live nearby as I was looking for somewhere to grab something to eat, I was greeted with a friendly welcome from the landlord as well as by the staff. The food was excellent as was...the service by the bar staff, despite the challenging situation at the moment the staff were attentive and helpful. Highly recommended!

Absolutely gorgeous food. Great choice, delicious. Great atmosphere. Lovely friendly staff. I would definitely recommend this place.

Called it for quick supper as was staying locally. Friendly welcome plenty of choice on menu and food was very tasty.
