The Black Bull Inn is located in the peaceful village of Balsham on the Cambridgeshire-Suffolk border. We are a short drive from Cambridge and Newmarket. Our venue combines the character of a 16th-century Grade II listed building with comfort.

The property includes five AA-rated bedrooms, a bar area, a front patio, and a beer garden. Our oak-beamed dining barn, now a flexible function space, is popular for events and private hire. There’s easy on-site parking, step-free access to the restaurant via ramp, and an accessible guest bedroom available.
