The Angel Hotel in Bury St Edmunds is one of the town's most iconic venues. Food reviewer Charlotte Bond visited their underground vaults for a special steak night. The Angel Hotel on Angel Hill in Bury overlooking the Cathedral is one of those places that oozes character and style.
My partner and I have wanted to experience the newly refurbished vaults restaurant at there for quite a while now, and when the opportunity arose for us to take a visit we were very excited. The underground vaults (Image: Charlotte Bond) We booked up a couple of months ago to visit the underground vaults for their special steak night which are usually held on selected Thursday evenings. This exclusive restaurant is only open on certain days and is very popular, therefore I would definitely recommend booking up in advance to avoid disappointment.
We entered the vaults and were greeted by beautiful stone architecture, stylish velvet booths and dimly lit ambient lighting. Bread with butter and balsamic vinegar (Image: Charlotte Bond) We were shown the menu and there were a selection of nibbles and starters to feast our eyes on. We went for the bread with butter and balsamic vinegar and olive oil (£6) to start our experience off.
The homemade bread was very tasty and a perfect way to whet our appetites. The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. They talked us through all the different steak options for the main and offered us a suggestion of how many side dishes they would recomme.
