The influence of St Edmund, the late king of East Anglia is celebrated even more with the opening this week of The St Edmunds Tavern in Bury St Edmunds.

The 15^th century pub in Risbygate Street has undergone a total refurbishment, emphasising the beauty of this old inn.  Now a bright and airy interior, it boasts two log fires, traditional British food “without the twist” and real ales and wines to suit everyone. 

Following the changes, the St Edmunds Tavern will be right back on the Bury map.  Its unique qualities and features are enhanced with antique furniture and fittings throughout. 

Steve Look, regional manager for Greene King said, “The St Edmunds Tavern is now a very special place and will be an asset for the people of Bury St Edmunds”.

Opening early for coffee and cakes, the St Edmunds Tavern will welcome you whether you’re out for the day shopping or want to celebrate something special.  Food will be served every day lunchtime and evenings and afternoon tea after lunch.

Notes:  The pub officially opens on Wednesday 14^th April 2010 where St Edmunds ale will help guest celebrate the opening. 

About Saint Edmund

Saint Edmund, also known as Edmund the Martyr, was originally the English patron saint but was ousted by St George in 1305.  A Saxon king of East Anglia, Saint Edmund became the patron saint of Suffolk, following his death in 869.

Saint Edmund’s body was laid to rest in the market town of Bury St Edmunds, home to the Greene King brewery.  Bury St Edmunds’ ruined abbey is the shrine to Saint Edmund, and has become one of the most famous pilgrimage locations in England as a result.
