Good Times, Your Way

Birthdays, big get-togethers, family celebrations or simply a very good reason to get everyone around the same table. Whatever you’re planning, The Weeping Willow is made for bringing people together.

Come For The Food. Stay For Everything Else.

Welcome To The Weeping Willow, Barrow

Just outside Bury St Edmunds, The Weeping Willow is made for long lunches, dinner with friends and drinks that turn into another round. Seasonal menus bring plenty to the table, from pub favourites to dishes worth making the trip for, alongside good wine and a well-stocked bar. Gather your people, settle in and stay as long as you like. And when you’re not quite ready to call it a night, our lodges are just a few steps away – giving you even more time to enjoy this corner of Suffolk.

From Our Kitchen

To Your Table

There’s always something good coming out of the kitchen. Our menus move with the seasons, mixing pub favourites with dishes made for sharing, leaving you fighting over the last bite.

When the sun’s out, things move into the garden. Our garden menu is made for enjoying outside – relaxed dishes, seasonal sides and plenty to pass around the table. Find a spot, gather your people and make an afternoon of it.

Meet Us At The Bar

A quick drink has a habit of turning into another round. Drop in for a pint, open a bottle of wine with friends or settle in with something from the bar and see where the day takes you. No plans needed – just pull up a chair.
