1921 Angel Hill

Inspector comments
"Well constructed dishes served in a stunning location."
Overview
The setting for 1921 Angel Hill may be a charming, timber-framed period building replete with beams and bare bricks in the historic heart of Bury St Edmunds but there’s nothing stuck in the past about the kitchen’s contemporary British cooking. On offer is a menu which follows the seasons, bangs the drum for local ingredients and delivers the sort of dishes that get the tastebuds racing, kicking off with Mersea crab with wasabi, pickled mooli, apple and black sesame. Next up, Aylesbury duck comes alongside clementine, carrot purée and a layered potato and duck cake. There’s also a tasting menu option at both lunch and dinner.

About the area
Suffolk is Constable country, where the county’s crumbling, time-ravaged coastline spreads itself under wide skies to convey a wonderful sense of remoteness and solitude. Highly evocative and atmospheric, this is where rivers wind lazily to the sea and notorious 18th-century smugglers hid from the excise men
