To the guest who swiped our new bar runner and put it into the bag of one of your 3 female accomplices. Next time when you are thinking of stealing from hard working people then make sure your accomplice is more thorough with her check for cameras!!
All 4 of you are stood right in view of 2 of them!! We know one of your accomplices even asked about purchasing one a few weeks ago!! You have until midday on Sunday to return it.
... If it’s not returned we will put the CCTV up with clear still pictures of your faces and we will advise Suffolk Police - it will be a nice easy job for them as you paid by card so very easy for them to trace.
THEFT is THEFT and we will not tolerate it on any level

Whenever we travel back to the UK we always stay a night at The Bull. It is a fabulous place to both stay and dine. Our dinner was delicious, there is always a really good choice of dishes. I choose The Flying Cow as it has a brilliant double, monsoon shower and the bed is a good size. Breakfast is excellent. Staff are friendly, welcoming and always go the extra mile. I love it.
Went to the muder mystery dinner last night first time being at the bull and have to say the food was amazing and the entertainment was fab. The bull and all the staff are very well organised. Had such a good time. Will be back for sure. Thank you.
Went to The Bull last Saturday for a get together with friends. The sun was shining, so we left the pub for the patio. Both were great places to enjoy a drink. And next time I'll be having dinner too. The menu looked lovely.
We turned up pretty late after a failed attempt to get desserts nearby at the Pancake and Waffle Shack. The staff were very accommodating and our desserts very nice. My brownie arrived cold (it's supposed to served gooey and warm) and they replaced it immediately with profuse apologies.
I cannot wait to return for a full meal and drinks :)
We stopped off in the hope of getting a late Sunday lunch and were delighted to be offered a full menu including the best Sunday roast we’ve had in a long time. We will definitely be back, thank you�
We had Sunday lunch here and thought it was excellent. The staff are lovely and very helpful and as for the food, well, it was first class. The service was superb as was the food. Our party included a vegetarian who said her meal was delicious. The portions are generous but we managed to clear our plates and just leave room for sticky toffee sundaes, which are worthy of a return visit on there own. We'll be back........
We attended the murder mystery night And stayed in “Daisy” for the weekend. A friendly welcome from all of the team and a fabulously quirky bedroom. The food was excellent and nothing was ever too much trouble. The murder night was great fun and well worth it for a night out. The food is on the expensive end for a pub but is sooo worth it and you definitely wouldn’t be disappointed!! We will definitely be back.
This was our second visit to The Bull Inn, the first time was a present from my friends for my 50th birthday - it is a lovely pub/hotel food excellent and rooms decorated lovely and very comfortable. We have just returned from our second visit today, weather been glorious, lovely and relaxing sitting in the sun in the lovely courtyard. Staff are very friendly and helpful - feel very welcome and at ease at this lovely place - will return soon!
The Bull Inn is an amazing, quintessential English pub and inn. The people, the food and drinks, the accommodations, and the location are all quite perfect. My week long stay was made better by the staff I spent it with. Sonja, Smiffy, and the team are caring, funny, courteous, and just straight fabulous! The food, oh my the food, is beyond words! I cannot forget the Sunday roast, fish and chips, the BEST sticky toffee pudding in England, the traditional brekkie, and the unforgettably tasty porn star martini! Just fantastic! My room was very comfortable and the decor (cow covered wall paper!) was humorous and unique. Lastly, the location was perfect to take a scenic walk along the river into the quaint town of Mildenhall. My stay here had me feeling like I was away but as comfortable as if I were home. I would stay here 100 times over and highly recommend it to anyone passing by for either a bite to eat or bed to enjoy!
The Bull Inn has a great atmosphere where you can enjoy the bar or a more fine dining experience, we have done both and would definitely recommend, the steak is particularly good! It's a great place to finish a walk along the river Lark and fill up before the return trip!
Stopped in yesterday for a late lunch early evening meal! Lovely old style pub/inn log fire! Friendly staff and a lovely meal! It's not the cheapest but if you want quality it's very good value enjoyed so much we are going back next week
I've never had a bad meal at the Bull. This is my second time staying here for long periods of time (over a month). The hotel is also quite lovely.
I haven't found anywhere better in the local Mildenhall area for food or accommodations.
I've been lucky enough to visit for a dinner where Father Christmas visited, a Saturday night meal for 4 and Friday nights murder mystery for my birthday. I cannot speak more highly of the food and service. It's the most wonderful treat and there is no doubt I will be recommending to others (already have) and visiting again. A lovely evening of fun and luxury. Thank you! X
I booked a dinner for 26 people including 3 children and Sonia sent me a spreadsheet and even accommodated an extra meal on the menu. 2 of the people and the stars of the show were flying in from Texas, however since Dallas had terrible storms on the day they were flying out their flight was inevitably delayed. After a swift e-mail to tell Sonia of their plight everything was taken in their stride and a lot of stress was taken off my shoulders and with a smile. All our meals were excellent, as were the waitresses. I will make this a regular venue because the service, food and restaurant itself was fantastic.
I would like to extend a huge thank you to all the staff that were involved with our day for going above and beyond.
Celebrated my 61st Birthday with my son and daughter in law and everything we ordered was delicious. My son had the rib-eye, prepared to a perfect medium, my daughter in law had the risotto,which was excellent and I had the sea bass, delicious! Great service too!
Been here a couple of times now, once in the evening and once for lunch. I found the staff to be friendly and helpful, i would call the inside olde worldy and there is plenty of outside space for those summer days. As to the food, I suggest you go very hungry! Generous portions and wonderful deserts. Prices are reasonable and I will certainly be going again.
The food is five star in our opinion. We are staying here while house hunting and really enjoying our stay. The owners Wayne and Cheryl are wonderful hosts. The staff is fantastic. Both tall and short Mason have made it enjoyable from the get go! We're still learning everyone's names from Page, Natasia, Aliska, Naomi, Louise and so many more that escape me presently, and my apologies. By the time we leave we plan on remembering everyone and coming back often to visit and eat. We are truly enjoying our move to England so far and everyone at the Bull Inn is making this transition wonderful. We highly recommend visiting and eating here. The 4 star is only because of 3 bar stools. 😁
Ate here for the first time & will def be back! It is quite expensive however the food is amazing so u really don't mind! The sticky toffee pudding is the best one I've ever had ever so u must try this !! ��
Dropped in for a bite to eat and was surprised to see how expensive the food is.
Prices are high because of passing trade, location to the USAF base in my opinion.
Food was good but 19 quid for a burger, I'd rather spend 12 and go 5 guys who are the experts. Go hungry horse and have the same for 8 quid including a pint.
Overall nice atmosphere and good food but just too expensive for what it is.
