Bury St Edmunds BID Members Feature in New Book Celebrating the County’s Food and Drink

Bury St Edmunds BID members are featured in a new book celebrating the very best of Suffolk’s independent food and drink scene — reinforcing the town’s reputation as Suffolk’s foodie capital.

Suffolk: A Story Told Through Food, Drink & People by Adam Tully and Hannah Dewar is the result of a year spent travelling across the county, meeting the people behind its kitchens, bakeries, vineyards, cafés and pubs. Rather than a conventional guide or cookbook, the project focuses on storytelling — capturing the lives, values and craft of those who quietly shape Suffolk’s food and drink culture.

Suffolk’s food scene has always rewarded curiosity. From coast to countryside, it is not defined by trends or noise, but by people consistently doing things well. This book reflects that ethos, bringing together 30 businesses through conversations and photography that highlight early mornings, late nights, ambition, resilience, and above all, community.

At the heart of the publication is a strong representation of Bury St Edmunds BID member businesses, showcasing the strength and depth of the town’s independent hospitality and foodie retail sector. We are delighted to see so many members included:

1921
The One Bull
Wooster’s
Maison Bleue
Bellota
Pea Porridge
The Angel Hotel
Rustico
Lark
Alema
Midgar

With such strong representation from BID members, the book serves as further recognition of what locals and visitors alike already know — Bury St Edmunds stands firmly as Suffolk’s foodie capital.
