The Best of Suffolk

Food and Drink
The Bull is a 16th-century coaching inn offering modern British dining, crafted with fresh, local and seasonal ingredients. Our menus feature a mix of much-loved British classics and creative seasonal specials, all designed to showcase the very best of Suffolk’s rich larder. Sustainability is at the heart of our kitchen ethos – we prioritise local sourcing, sustainable stocks, and thoughtful practices that reduce waste and encourage recycling. It’s food that’s full of flavour, rooted in place, and made with care.

Our Restaurant

Whatever the mood or occasion, The Bull has just the spot for you. Soak up the buzz in our laid-back, dog-friendly bar – perfect for a pint, a glass of wine, and a few small plates or Bull favourites.

For something a little more intimate, our informal restaurant offers a relaxed setting with a romantic, personal touch. And for special family occasions, private celebrations or meetings, our elegant function room provides a calm, refined space to make your gathering feel truly special.

Local ingredients, lovingly sourced

At The Bull, we believe great food begins with the finest ingredients – and we’re fortunate to be surrounded by some of the very best. Over 90% of our produce is sourced from local farms and suppliers within an hour of Woodbridge, ensuring peak freshness and flavour.

Guided by a deep respect for the land and the people who farm it, we cook simply, seasonally, and sustainably – supporting our community while treading lightly on the environment.

Our Bar

Our bar offers an extensive range of wines, beers, ales, spirits and cocktails.

With 14 beers available on draft and an extensive range of spirits, cocktails, non-alcoholic and gluten-free drinks, we have a drink for very occasion.

Supporting Local Suppliers

Suffolk is rightly celebrated for its brewing heritage, and at The Bull, we proudly showcase it. At any one time, four of our six real ales are typically sourced from local brewers, alongside a refreshing Suffolk lager. The region’s winemaking scene is also thriving, with Suffolk and Norfolk now home to some truly impressive vineyards. You’ll find a carefully chosen selection of local wines on our list—each one produced within an hour’s drive of Woodbridge—bringing a real taste of East Anglia to your glass.

Magificent

Magnificent, the welcome, the beer, the food, the room, the breakfast. I travel a lot and The Bull Inn at Woodbridge is the best place I've stayed at in a long while, and the previous night I was in a four star hotel.

Really friendly and helpful staff.

Really friendly and helpful staff . Lovely old hotel with many original features retained and n the heart of the lovely town . They provided and excellent breakfast menu and everything was delicious.. Parking spaces are limited so you need to book a space

Superb hotel.

We stayed a long weekend to attend a match at Ipswich Town. Superb hotel. Staff brilliantly trained and so helpful. The rooms are spacious and thoughtfully appointed. Breakfast was the best we have had at a hotel. We loved our stay and will definitely return.

Exceptional

"Proprietors are wonderful hosts providing an exceptional service - warm, friendly and efficient. This ensures guests can relax in all areas of this historic building whilst enjoying the medieval Market Square on which The Bull occupies a prominent position. The outdoor benches allow guests to enjoy a beverage 'on the Square' creating a continental vibe. In addition the hotel provides first class cuisine including not to be missed breakfasts!"

Wonderful

Stayed at this wonderful hotel in the beautiful town of Woodbridge many times. The hotel is steeped in history, the staff are great and the breakfast is the highlight for me, the frequent traveller.
