Tucked away in the tranquil setting of Rougham, Bury St Edmunds, Ice Restaurant has become something of a local legend-and for good reason. Located at Unit 1, Lundy Court, Perkins Rd, this cosy yet contemporary eatery strikes a unique balance between modern British charm and laid-back dining culture. Whether you’re a foodie on the hunt for hearty plates or someone who simply enjoys a good cup of cappuccino with some live music in the background, Ice Restaurant delivers on all fronts.
From the moment you walk in, the vibe is instantly inviting. The venue is fully wheelchair-accessible, including the entrance, car park, toilet, and seating areas, making it incredibly welcoming for all guests. There’s also outdoor seating, perfect for sunny afternoons or relaxing weekend brunches. And speaking of brunch-if you’re a breakfast lover, prepare yourself for a treat.
One of the most talked-about items here is the Ice Full English Breakfast. Generous portions, perfectly cooked eggs, and crispy hash browns make it the go-to morning pick-me-up for locals and tourists alike. Prefer something sweet? The Fully Loaded Pancake Stack is an Instagram-worthy tower of goodness-fluffy pancakes layered with fresh toppings and syrup that will have you planning your next visit before you’ve even finished.
Ice Restaurant caters to every dining mood. Whether you're popping in for a quick bite, a lazy lunch, or a cozy dinner, there’s always something that hits the spot. The Brisket Burger is a meaty, juicy wonder, while the Sea Bass and Belly Pork showcase a more elevated, dinner-party-level side of the menu. Vegetarian or vegan? No problem-the Korean BBQ Jackfruit Flatbread is a surprisingly bold and flavorful option that’s won over even the most devout meat-lovers.
They also serve organic dishes and offer healthy options, something not all traditional restaurants in Suffolk manage to pull off. If you're into late-night dining, Ice stays open long enough for you to grab something satisfying after a show or night out.
You won’t want to miss the drinks list here-it’s not just an afterthought. With a great wine list, local beers, and an impressive selection of cocktails, the bar alone could justify your visit. The Espresso Martini is a fan favourite, offering just the right kick, while the Vanilla Mule is a refreshing twist on a classic.
For non-alcoholic choices, the Hot Chocolate is decadently rich, and the Iced Coffee hits the mark during warm afternoons. They also have free water refills, a small but appreciated touch. Tea lovers, rejoice-the tea selection here is top-notch, whether you're in the mood for a strong English Breakfast or something more herbal.
Ice Restaurant thrives not only because of its food and drink but because of the experience. It’s one of the few places in the area that offers live music, creating a lively yet relaxed ambiance that elevates your meal without overwhelming your conversation.
The staff are warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely seem to care about your experience. They’re quick with recommendations, which is helpful given how extensive the menu is-from Cheesy Chips with truffle oil to a light Side Salad for balance. And for those coming solo, it’s an ideal spot for solo dining-quiet enough for work or reading, but with enough bustle to feel part of the scene.
They also offer takeaway if you're on the go, though there's no delivery service-so if you want the full Ice Restaurant vibe, it’s definitely worth stopping in.
In a town filled with pubs and cafés, Ice Restaurant has carved out a niche as a dependable all-day spot that doesn’t compromise on quality. It's not trying to be pretentious or overly curated-it’s just good. Good food, good drinks, good service.
You don’t come here just to eat; you come to relax, connect, and enjoy the little things-like a cup of great coffee, a perfectly crisp onion ring, or the first sip of your favourite cocktail on a Friday evening.
Whether you’re local to Bury St Edmunds or passing through Suffolk, Ice Restaurant is the kind of place you’ll be glad you found.
