Pea Porridge in Bury St Edmunds earns another plaudit from Michelin

The only restaurant in Suffolk to hold a Michelin star has also been ranked as one of the cheapest such places to dine out.

Pea Porridge, in Cannon Street, Bury St Edmunds has been included in the list of the Cheapest Michelin-Star Restaurants For Dinner in the UK & Ireland.

The restaurant received its single Michelin Star in February for the fifth consecutive year.

Michelin said of the restaurant, which opened in 2009: “There’s a homely, slightly bohemian vibe to Pea Porridge, with its wooden furnishings and interesting artwork hung on exposed brick walls.

“The restaurant sits inside two cottages that date back to 1820 and formerly served as a bakery, with the original cast iron bread oven still in situ.

“The ‘Grizzly’ charcoal oven gets plenty of use across dishes that blend warming spices with a herby freshness.”

Pea Porridge offers a three-course a la carte dinner, from Wednesday to Saturday at an average price of £57.50, with four courses, from Thursday to Saturday, at £50.
