The Dog and Partridge in Bury St Edmunds reopens after major six-figure renovation

A popular pub in a Suffolk town has reopened to the public following a major six-figure renovation.

The Dog and Partridge, in Crown Street, Bury St Edmunds, has been given a new look with changes to the pub and hotel rooms.

The garden area has been completely transformed where there is an upgraded outdoor seating area featuring new furniture, curved benches and mood festoon lighting.

There is also a brand-new covered pergola outside, featuring slatted timber beams adorned with climbing plants and fairy lighting as well as upgraded heating.

Adam Curley, general manager of The Dog and Partridge said: “Our team cannot wait to welcome back the community, customers old and new, to check out our new offering.

“We will offer an exciting place for locals and visitors alike to enjoy as we bring a whole new lease of life to the pub and hotel, whilst retaining all its existing charm, history and its traditional atmosphere.

“We’re confident that customers will love our improved facilities for an even better drinking, dining and overnight experience than ever before, just in time for summer.”

A newly created VIP area can now be booked exclusively for larger groups, who can choose from a menu of bespoke party packages to suit any occasion.

New artwork and 3D art are being installed to bring the connection to the local Greene King brewery to life, such as the new ‘Hops Garden’ which will utilise old equipment to celebrate the time honoured beer making process.

Inside the pub, it has been rejuvenated with a fresh lick of paint, new backbars, an improved table layout, plus new decorative touches that have relevance to the local area and beer trade.

The hotel has also recently undergone a revamp and all nine rooms have been upgraded with new beds, bespoke fixtures and furnishings and refitted bathrooms.

Rooms now include flatscreen TVs, coffee machines, free Wi-Fi and parking for all guests.
