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.

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.

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.


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.

There’s always something happening at The Weeping Willow. From live music and summer pilates in the garden to weekends filled with good beer, good food and plenty of people, our events are another reason to gather your people and join us. Keep an eye on what’s coming up – there’s plenty more in the diary.

Tucked away in the meadow behind the pub, our seven lodges are a peaceful base for a few days in Suffolk. Think relaxed interiors, countryside just outside your door and plenty to explore around Bury St Edmunds – with great food and a table waiting for you when you get back.


There’s plenty to discover around The Willow. Wander the streets of Bury St Edmunds, head out for a walk in the Suffolk countryside or spend the day exploring the villages and places that give this corner of the county its character. Whether you’re local or here for the weekend, there’s always somewhere worth heading next.
