Up the street from us and just around the corner is the West Suffolk Sixth Form College (similar to a junior college), where Bob read that they had a cooking program and a related restaurant, Edmunds, open to the public. Reservations are required while the restaurant is open during the school term, and by the time we learned about the restaurant, there were only reservations available for the lunch service. So today, we had a lovely long lunch while we helped to train some future culinary superstars.
Lunch is offered from 11:00 to 1:15, and there was plenty of staff on hand for food and bar service. There was also a manager/teacher helping to run things and checking on customers. All of our food was very good, and while we’re not sure our wait person has found his real calling (low energy, had to ask someone else for the answer to every question), he was very nice. He may prefer back of house operations. We’re not sure how the program works.

The menu said vanilla. The server made a point
of coming back to say it wasn’t served with vanilla,
but we didn’t understand (and couldn’t tell) the new flavor.
No more food for us today. We definitely recommend Edmunds for lunch or dinner. Good prices, great food, and good to help with training the next culinary generation.
