The food was absolutely fantastic; it was so hard to choose what to have!The staff were so accommodating with our 3 year old, and bought over games to keep him occupied.Would definitely recommend, and will definitely be returning

What a fabulous find. The Brantham Bull is an absolute gem of a pub, from a family-friendly welcome, to some of the best food I have ever had, to the wonderful atmosphere and welcome. If you are passing, or if close by, this pub is well worth a visit for great food, drinks and hospitality.

First ever visit with some great friends and it’s now number 1 on our list. The starters and roast was lovely and there was plenty of it. The service was excellent and the lady who owns it with her husband was good for a laugh. Desert was equally nice and having coffee outside with a lovely view, finished the afternoon off. Definitely recommend it.

If you're passing here and they're open for food you need to stop. Had an amazing Sunday roast here today, great portion size, quality food. Perfect is all I can say.If you don't want a roast there's pizza or pies. I would definitely go back again

Called to book a table the morning of the Sunday we wanted to eat Sunday lunch. We were advised that we could only be accommodated at a table in the bar (which is dog friendly) which we accepted. When we arrived we were told there was a cancellation in the restaurant (which is not dog friendly) so we could sit in there after all which was a bonus. Having said that, when we saw the bar eating area we would have happily sat in there. Very little to choose between the two, both equally as nice! Warm welcome from bar staff on arrival and log fire alight so great start. A lot of the restaurant has fabulous views over the Stour estuary, although ours didn't, so I guess you have to specify a table with that facility if you want it when you book. Great menu but that's always subjective. Plenty we would choose anyway! Excellent service. Nice and prompt between courses without feeling rushed. Couldn't fault the food. Very tasty and very hot. Not expensive for what we received, very happy patron! Will certainly be going back.

Where to start… warm and friendly welcome by the staff, shown to the bar area while the table was finished off being prepared. Very quickly shown to the table, the views were great out over the water.The waiting staff were just on point attentive, funny and efficient. The food arrived … WOW! Starter was deep fried Brie which was delectable and garnished with a small salad and red currant Jam, then the beef sirloin Sunday roast, plenty of vegetables and a decent plate full, best roast in the area by a country Mile, dessert was an odd one, I left it up to our friends to order mine I popped away from the table for a minute, when the sweets were brought out everyone was served and I was last, to be presented with a single strawberry and a teaspoon of ice cream so you can tell the laughs around the table, superb humour by the staff, the peach and raspberry homemade crumble was just spot on then we were left with no pressure to leave out table as we spent the next couple Of hours chatting. All in all amazing food, amazing service, a fab ambiance and cost wise wasn’t bad at all and great value for money.

We had a party of 9 in yesterday for Sunday lunch and it was fabulous. The food as always was delicious and arrived promptly. The staff can’t do enough for you. I personally can’t recommend the service at this pub enough. The chef made my daughter a special cheesy garlic bread. Thank you for the great service. See you again soon.

If I could chose 10 stars I would! Everything was sensational from the food to the wine, the ambiance, and the service. Our waitress Sacha was amazing. Attentive, knowledgeable, friendly, and not overbearing. We came for steak night and boy did it impress.I used to live in Manningtree and came more frequently, but since moving back to Ipswich haven’t been for a couple of years. It was worth the trip!Too many places offer quantity without quality, but this was both. I’ll be back soon, but with looser trousers!!It was lovely to get to chat with Paul and Sacha after our meal. Paul really is the host with the most.Try for yourselves - you’ll be back time and again!!
