We are so lucky to have such a fantastic pub/restaurant on our doorstep!! We are blessed locally to have a lot of pubs in the local area, but none come close to the food, atmosphere and friendly staff at The Bull. Dog friendly bar area and upper restaurant seating area, and dog free restaurant over looking the rolling fields towards the river stour (which is amazing in the summer). In the summer time you get the opportunity to sit on their large patio or garden with some of the best views from a pub garden in Suffolk. There is a 5-a-side goal for kids to play football with, as well as a ground level trampoline. They also have a large permanent marque that you can hire out for weddings, birth...
My wife and I visited this pub for the first time and had lunch there today (22nd Feb). It was superb! The pub is beautifully decorated and furnished, with ample space between tables. The staff were all very polite, friendly, and efficient. The food took a little while to come out, but this was understandable as they clearly cook everything fresh when it's busy. The menu had a great variety of options. I chose the gammon with two eggs, pineapple, chips, and peas, and was impressed by the large portion of high-quality meat. My wife enjoyed the skate wing with new potatoes and fresh vegetables, but the portion size was so generous that she couldn't finish it! We will definitely be returning so...
So lucky to have this pub local to me! Only been in a handful of times (so far) but everytime it has been fantastic Food is beyond scrummy, huge portions, well presented and home cooked vibes. Staff are friendly, attentive and nothing is too much trouble. The wine selection is great! The atmosphere of the pub is cosy and welcoming. It has wonderful additions from books to read, to quiz cards on the tables as ice breakers. Its spacious and dog friendly too, with amazing views across the River Stour. This is an establishment whose owners have thought of everything you can think of to make people feel welcome and it works! A properly run, community spirited pub a real rare find! Love it!
If I could chose 10 stars I would! Everything was sensational from the food to the wine, the ambiance, and the service. Our waitress Sacha was amazing. Attentive, knowledgeable, friendly, and not overbearing. We came for steak night and boy did it impress. I used to live in Manningtree and came more frequently, but since moving back to Ipswich haven’t been for a couple of years. It was worth the trip! Too many places offer quantity without quality, but this was both. I’ll be back soon, but with looser trousers!! It was lovely to get to chat with Paul and Sacha after our meal. Paul really is the host with the most. Try for yourselves you’ll be back time and again!!

I just got back from a fantastic Sunday roast at The Bull. I've been here for drinks before, but this was my first time dining. The service was excellent with friendly staff and generous portion sizes. The roast lamb was delicious and served piping hot, with fresh vegetables that tasted like a homemade family meal. The atmosphere was lively and bustling, but the service was still prompt. I highly recommend The Bull, but suggest booking ahead on Sundays as it's a popular spot! Great job, Team!
First time visit, went with a group of friends, very impressed from the start even tho the server was busy she acknowledged our presence and was soon back to seat us. Whilst waiting to place orders the chef popped out to chat and offer suggestions. Went with the Garlic Mushrooms and Sirloin Steak, Portions were Very generous and the steak was cooked to perfection. Not the cheapest meal but for what we had it was more than worth the cost. Highly recommended
We had a fantastic Sunday lunch at this restaurant. The prawn cocktail starter was superb, and the roast beef and roast pork mains were delicious. They were served with a generous portion of fresh vegetables, roast potatoes, and Yorkshire pudding. For dessert, we sampled the Bakewell tart, Jam sponge, and sticky toffee pudding, all of which were excellent. The friendly staff provided great service. Thank you for a wonderful meal!
Another brilliant visit for Sunday lunch, great craic with the staff, the Chef was on point with everything. My mate was beaten by the portion size and that’s rare Keep up the good work guys, we’ll be back
