Nice big car park for us classic car enthusiasts, food was good and beer OK but a limited choice for the latter. Staff struggled a bit with a sudden influx of orders from club members but they were very friendly and cheerful. Overall a strong four stars, worth a try.

Lovely food, good service and nice atmosphere. Clean toilets and good bar range. Recommend the ginger icecream and the featherblade steak.

A great brunch and lunch spot when travelling by car to Sudbury. Good Cafetier coffee too.

This was our second time back and I’m so pleased we gave The Fox another chance. We ate at The Fox last autumn and we were left feeling a little underwhelmed, but this evening it was great the see the staff still as friendly and the food has improved!!
Love the selection of drinks, the cauliflower bhajis are yummy, the pork dish wasn’t dry and the pie was packed full of meat. Will be back soon!

We were quickly shown to a table and ordered drinks.
Table was nicely laid and had linen napkins.I had Haddock and Salmon Fish cakes my husband had Cottage Pie Fritters.
Fishcake looked good on presentation. Poached Egg on top was set in the middle not runny. Fishcake was very tasty though only browned on top and bottom, sides were white.Cottage Pie Fritters were good.Haddock for main course was delicious as were Peas. Chips were a bit of a disappointment as they were Potato Wedges with skin on not chips.
My husband had Suffolk Ham, chips and egg. Again Potato Wedges not chips. Ham was very thinly sliced.Water is served in a very attractive branded bottle.
I finished with a Peppermint Tea which was very good. My husband had a flat white which was served in a small glass. Difficult to hold as hot.Service was good.

Foxes are generally associated with having smelly pee and going through bins, but none of that here. The food, staff and surroundings are excellent. Nice selection of local drinks.

Visited the Fox at Bulmer for Sunday lunch . It was very crowded and we waited a long time to be served. I ordered skate goujons for a starter . When I started to eat it it reeked of ammonia and was inedible . I sent it back and they agreed it was awful and offered me another starter and a drink . I refused another starter ,I’m worried now about how old that fish was in the starter.Not impressed

Had a delicious meal here with some friends during a visit in September. They were quite excited to go, as the place had gone through some changes just prior. The staff was very friendly, although they were a little slow sometimes. Our food was very tasty, and they made some modifications for my fish to make it gluten free.

Our first visit to The Fox since reopening. We loved the food especially the big chips, the portions were generous. The staff are well trained and professional. If in Suffolk, do try the Crown at Hartest and One Bull, St Edmunds. You won’t be disappointed.

First time I have been since re-opening, I have to say thefood was well cooked, the staff friendly and polite, dinning area light and airy and appeared to be plenty of room around each of the dinning tables, I would suggest you give it a try, the menu clearly will change with the seasons for me an all round pleasant eating experience.

I came for dinner with a group of friends for a catch up and had a wonderful evening. I am vegan and there were a few enticing options and both the adapted starter and cauliflower steak main were delicious! Service was impeccable, really friendly and patient staff with any questions, checking back and splitting the bill. Love the interior - feels spacious yet cosy and great coffee and a cool bar!

The food is ok but the service was very slow, although the staff were friendly. This was at lunchtime and the place did fill up so perhaps they were busier than usual.

I visited the pub for lunch & choose from the specials menu. 2 courses for £14. The portion sizes were just right, I didn't feel bloated. There was a few choices for pescatarians which was nice. The food was hot, tasty & arrived quickly. Nice atmosphere & the staff were very friendly.

Had dinner here for the first time under the new ownership. The staff were friendly and very helpful, made us feel very welcome and like valued customers, a rarity these days
The food was delicious. I could not fault it. I had ham hock to start with. It was a large portion for a stArter but a couple of us shared them so we could enjoy the rest of the meal. I the. Had the pork rib, I would highly recommend this dish, the accompanying red cabbage was full of flavour and a great winter vegetable. I did not have dessert but those who did had no complaintsWill definitely be going back. Intend to visit fir Sunday lunch too
