(IP30 9LH) The Bennet Arms

absolute pleasure to stay here for 2 nights. Boyd is a lovely bloke! and so helpful. field in the back of the pub is almost perfectly flat and very secure so quiet! toilet 24hours with a code is very clean. locals in the pub are very friendly. Bury st eds is close by and well worth a look, cheapest fuel sainsburys in Bury st eds. check opening times before arrival. Will be back!!

What a find, you pitch in the overflow car park. It’s flat grass and massive! The toilets were accessible via a code. Boyd and Sally were lovely, very friendly and helpful. The beer was good and so was the food. There’s a lovely little shop in the village and Thurston for cheapest diesel. The sunrise over the fields was amazing. We will definitely be visiting again.

Love this place ! great food at the pub stayed for 2 nights quiet and peaceful nights sleep, did a litter pick. Had breakfast and evening meal. No knocks, no boy racers, and no nosey dog walkers looking in the windows.

Spent 1 night in this lovely village pub car park. Very friendly bar staff, good reasonably priced food and a peaceful night's sleep. Small village store located a convenient 3 minutes' walk away.

Super netter Gastgeber und Empfang, große Wiese (mit Sperrmüll-Hügel…). Essen hatten wir zwar schon Besseres (war vermutlich Tagesform der Küche). Alles in allem hatten wir einen schönen Abend und eine ruhige Nacht.

Excellent spot. Parked in field out the back very peaceful. Eat in pub both nights food fabulous. Fish and chips to due for. Body and Sally great hosts.If passing must stop.

Lovely landlords, Sally & Boyd. Lovely locals. Nice food & the field to stay in. Worth a stopover visit.

Lovely pub, great food, and friendly owners. nice field. Pubs like this are why we rarely stay in campsites anymore!

Stayed here last night. Car park only as it is winter. Warm welcome by owners. Great food and drink. Had a blast chatting with the locals. Definitely will be back again.

Great stay! Ticks all the boxes, free stay, free WC, opens from 4, food served from 4 not Mondays. Campers very welcome. Very nice landlord. Very helpful. Nice beer!

We took the Stena Line day ferry and made a stopover for the night here. We’ve got a very friendly welcome and took some drinks in the pub before going to sleep. Lovely owners and stay, we certainly will come back.

genoeg ruimte achter de pub, enorm vriendelijke mensen. rustige plek.

such a friendly pub and owners. Toilets were open at night. clean facilities. our parking place was in the corner of the field. lovely quiet night . very peaceful. it was a great place to have a few drinks and watch the England match. Very sporadic mobile coverage. would definitely stay again

Visit on 15 May 2024. Nice family-run place with friendly people. Very nice place for parking with pleasant surroundings. Food was great (the fish and chips in particular was fantastic!), the service was excellent and it even had sky TV with live football! Highly recommended. Thank you to Boyd and his family. Laj

We rang ahead to make sure that there was spqce. We stayed in the car park as not many people around at this time or the year. A lovely warm welcome when we arrived. Left the toilets open for us at night which were clean and spotless. Food lovely and beer too. Very quiet and a good night sleep. We would come again - highly recommended

Lovely landlord, felt immediately welcomed and they were very accommodating despite the heavy rain. Nice and quiet area, would definitely recommend

Great quiet overnight stopover. Phoned ahead to book. Due to heavy rain, camping field was closed but we parked at bottom end of car park. Very welcoming, good food and beer. We had homemade lasagne and slow cooked beef bourgignon. Dogs not allowed inside pub, but landlord Boyd offered take out if we wanted.

Lovely large garden at the back of the pub. Food was excellent as was the hospitality of the owners. They even let us borrow a frying pan for breakfast as I forgot to put mine in the van!. Toilets open all night which were spotlessly clean.

Großer Platz, ebene Wiese, freundliche Atmosphäre und gutes Essen im Pub.

Hele lieve mensen! Leuke pub waar je lekker kan eten en drinken. Als je dat doet kun je gratis een plekje zoeken op hun grote grasveld achter de pub! Echt een aanrader!

Had a lovely stay here last night. Nice big field behind the pub. We didn't eat as had stopped cooking by the time we had arrived but had a couple of drinks. Lovely owners who offered to keep the toilets open all night. Will definitely be back.

I can’t recommend this place enough. Large field at the back of the pub, quiet & level. Boyd, Sally & Jo made us feel so welcome, it’s a free stay just need to either have some food or drinks or both. I can tell you the food is lovely & drinks are cheap (bonus). They kindly delivered our food to us at our camper as we have dogs. Nothing was to much trouble. Toilets can be left open over night otherwise Boyd is back in the morning around 8ish & works until closing around 11ish dependant on day.

Spacious field for dogs and children situated at the rear of the pub. Quiet surroundings and very level ground for pitching up. The pub itself is quaint and old and the staff there were very friendly and accommodating.

Für eine Nacht ein super Platz und man kann die Toilette in dem netten Pub benutzen und dort auch bis 20:00 etwas essen. Wir sind problemlos um 21:30 angereist und freundlich empfangen worden!!!!

Sehr freundlicher Empfang, schöner Stellplatz auf einer ebenen Wiese hinter dem Pub. Wir haben hier lecker gegessen und in einer netten Atmosphäre noch ein paar Ale getrunken. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Big, level field out back, good food, so lovely and friendly - came back for a second night.

Great spot in a field behind the pub. Lovely welcome and good food. Would definitely recommend this place

wow.. most friendly pub .. staff and customers were fab. Good food.. good drinks fab atmosphere.. most definitely go overnight there again.. thank you..

This is our 2nd stopover here and we love it !your greeted with a warm welcome , food is lovely and very reasonable priced. Put this on the top of your list if your in the area

Had a fab night at this fab pub good food great landlords would come back

Our second visit to this pub. Sally and Boyd very welcoming. Food is great. Lovely quiet night. Would definitely recommend x

Stayed last night but unfortunately had to at 1.30am due the noise levels created by the truckers dance music and shouting. Covid restrictions in the pub have been 100% relaxed which is unnerving. Much better stopovers are available.

Stayed last night on the lovely field, great beer, great food and great hospitality. Boyd popped out the pub as we pulled up with a great welcome and directed us where to pitch up. Service was really good. Would highly recommend as a stop.

We spent two nights here over Bank Holiday weekend whilst visiting family in Bury St Edmunds. We were made to feel very welcome by Boyd and the team. There was plenty of space in the field for our 7m motorhome. Our kids loved the playground and the food was great too. We will definitely be back when visiting family again.

Arrived at the site at 10pm with my 3 boys and were welcomed at the door with a smile and we all felt very welcome for the time we spent.

Cracking country pub with excellent food,nice flat parking on grass. Boyd is a top bloke, made us feel at home, very handy for bury st edmunds,

Excellent pub with friendly hosts and a great menu at good prices. Real ales on draught and a lovely quiet spot for the night. Pleasant local walks as well.

What a lovely place we stayed overnight in our motorhome, and had a great meal in the pub very good prices and portion size . The staff was so friendly Thank you Sally and Boyd for a lovely welcoming .

Spent a night on a large grass area at back of pub. Plenty of space for out 8.0m motorhome. Met on arrival by friendly and helpful owner. Had beer batter fish and chips which was excellent and good value. Free parking in exchange for using the restaurant seems like a great deal to us. Thank-you Sally and Boyd for a good stay we will be back. Steve and Mandy

Lovely spot behind the pub. Food really nice. Would definitely recommend to our friends.

We were met by Boyd with a very warm welcome as we arrived in the car park. After directing us to the Motorhome parking area (firm grassed area the size of a football pitch), we met in the bar where he ensured we understood the new “Covid-19” guidelines. We felt very safe. A great atmosphere and very extensive menu. Sally took our order with care and a smile. The food was well presented, very tasted and good sized portions. After a nice walk around the village, we retired to the peace and tranquility of the Motorhome parking area.
