The Fox at Bulmer Tye
Latest Reviews
So happy to see the Fox re-open, having been shut for a time (not due to Covid - just change of ownership). It was always my favourite eatery in the area, and although it's slightly different, the same appeal has been kept. All new staff, but all extremely polite and friendly. Food is amazing - slightly more expensive than it used to be, but then it's slightly more 'unique', so that's justified. Please go back here if you haven't been since it closed and give it a go with an open mind, but fond memories of previously. :-)

Great food & great service! Food was a really good quality and well presented, the ham hock scotch egg and flat steak especially!. Andrew our server was great and very accommodating. Couldn't rate it higher. My only gripe was charging 2.70 for a very very small bottle of coke. None the less, will be dining here again in the future

Great modern decor, tables nicely spaced out. Service was excellent and the food was delicious and very reasonable due to an offer on a Thursday evening. Covid safety procedures were well in place. Thankyou we will be back!!

We only use this road to Sudbury infrequently so this was our first visit since the re-opening and we were very impressed. QuietTuesday lunchtime afgter the recent move to tier 2 restrictions-therewereonly three other tables taken- but we were quickly made welcome and drinks came quickly. We ordered the grilled sandwich menu,my wife choosing the Caprese vegetarian option and I had the Reuben with salt beef and cheese. Both were well presented generous portions with a generous side of frites. aTogether with drinks this came to a very reasonable £27. Service was very friendly and the place was totally Covid compliant without being oppressive. We will call again when visiting Sudbury.

Very attentive and helpful staff. One of our party of 4 required gluten free food and the staff were very informative in this respect.
We all had different food and it was excellent. Tasty and well presented.Apologies for delay in posting this review!
Just about to book a return visit.

Stopped off here for lunch while on a walk in the area and was delighted by both the quality of the food and the service. £20 for starter and main was excellent value too. Only disappointment was that I'm unlikely to be back soon but hope that others head there over the next few months. We need places like this to not only survive but prosper.

This was our lunch stop en route to a mini staycation in Long Melford. What a good choice! The food and service were excellent and at £20 for two courses or £25 for three (for those with much bigger appetites than ours) also fantastic value. Surprised how empty the pub was, but then again it is only Monday. I do hope that plenty of others are supporting this business at such a difficult time for the hospitality industry. Encouraged by the high level of adherence to Covid secure regulations.

Can’t recommend this place enough! Duck was perfection, staff lovely and a perfect evening. Heaven on a plate, start, main & dessert absolutely mouthwatering

We ate dinner here last night having been persuaded by friends to step out of our front door. Food was delicious - we very much enjoyed our choices from the restricted menu. I understand that this currently changes each week. I actually think that the choice of 3 starters, 3 mains and 3 puddings is a good way to go....... It obviously allows the kitchen to produce high quality dishes. Service was friendly and welcoming without being over the top.
The most reassuring Covid measure was the lack of people .....or perhaps I should say that each service is restricted to just 40 people. Bookings are staggered to ensure that there is not a great rush of people arriving at the same time.
It seemed a little silly that the hand santiser dispenser was placed behind a placard on an easel in the entrance lobby. It was not obvious to see, it was not easy to reach and we were not asked to use it before entry.
One small issue - We were seated beneath a speaker for the sound system - it was a little intrusive and we found it difficult to hear each other ( we were a group of just 4 so not an anticipated difficulty)

Excellent Roast Beef for lunch today, followed by the best Chocolate Fondant with vanilla ice cream. Great social distancing measures in place but retained a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

We arranged a last minute lunch at The Fox today, and were delighted by the excellent quality of the food and service. Being longstanding customers, we have always been impressed by The Fox, but it seems to be even better than before.

Dipped our toes post lockdown in our nearest local and we were NOT disappointed! Staff were very attentive and courteous. Food was delicious. You need a big appetite for Sunday Roast sadly we had no room for the delicious sounding desserts! No issues with social distancing as you sit back to back with neighbouring tables with good screening. A real confidence boaster to get out more and support these businesses. Have already booked Sunday lunch for next week!

We visited for Sunday lunch on the first weekend after lockdown....and it was worth the wait! The service was exceptional, we felt very safe and the food was amazing (roast pork was perfect). Please visit, our local amenities need our support and you won’t be disappointed. We will be back!

First meal out since lockdown and it was fantastic! I’d been a bit apprehensive about going out but I needn’t have worried at all - the restaurant was spotless and the social distancing and hygiene measures they have in place really are excellent.
They’re working on a reduced menu at the moment - changing weekly - because of govt guidelines but there’s something for everyone and they also accommodated my dietary needs brilliantly (gluten free). The waiter was attentive and polite, and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly.
My friend and I had the beetroot and the ham hock scotch egg starters, sea bream and short rib mains (that beef was melt in the mouth and the rosti was unbelievably good), halloumi and truffle fries sides, and we shared a cheese board to finish. We also had drinks and coffees, and both felt that it was very reasonably priced.
Overall an excellent experience, I will definitely be booking again!

My parent had surprised me with a visit and we had such a lovey meal here when they were up last time, we thought we’d go again and as they now had the spring menu we had to give it a try.
Well they didn’t disappoint. The food was amazing, service was brilliant and they were more then happy for my parents dog to come in too.When the next night came and with all the uncertainty at the moment with places not being open, we wasn’t sure what we going to do for dinner. Then we saw they had take away on offer. Well that was that was the best decision we’d made all day. Fish and chips all round and yet again it tasted amazing.
Feel this has now become our dinner spot for when my parents are around. We look forward to coming again.
