Popped into The Bull at Long Melford on Saturday for a bite to eat and was there for rather a long time! We ordered food at 12noon and after asking twice what was going on, our food came out at 12:50. Having said that, we weren't in a rush and flopped in front of the fire. The bar was quiet... More

My partner telephoned to book a reservation, and we booked the restaurant for 8.30pm and a full English breakfast from 0730. When we arrived we were informed that there was a wedding party - the restaurant was booked to them, and breakfast was 8-10am. The room was warm, but the top window would not close, a chunk of a bedside... More

However, the friendly and helpful service; a cosy private room complete with beams and a roaring fire; a welcoming drink of mulled cider and a well presented buffet meal all combined to make this as pleasant an occasion as...

My son and daughter-in-law held their wedding here. What a beautiful place. We stayed for two nights and had a fantastic weekend. The rooms were first class - very comfortable and the food excellent. The Bull has a wonderful atmosphere - mainly due to the friendly staff who can't do enough for you. If you are looking for somewhere to... More

Lovely accommodation,cosy public rooms with log fires,comfortable beds and very friendly staff.The only downside was the slow service in the restaurant on Saturday night waiting over 30 minutes for each course.Sunday breakfast had a system which could be vastly improved. More
