Called in at reception point and asked wait time for food with the reply “none.” We took a table for 2 adults and 2 children on a Sunday at 1pm. Water and drinks were served fairly swiftly and our food order taken. Two requests later and our food arrived at 1.35pm. Of the two children’s meal, one a pasta with tomato sauce was a good sized portion. (6.95)The other a macaroni cheese was served in a ramekin with two slices of bread smothered in a jar pesto sauce. (7.50) Totally inedible for adults let alone children! The burger at £17.50 was basic at best with a small portion of fries. The two “small plates” were acceptable and served with small but fresh amount of salad accompaniments. £2.85 for a small bottle of tonic water was also a bit steep! Two of our party had to leave early otherwise we may have spoken directly to the staff at the time. Have had much better food (more choice) on previous occasions. This menu seemed to be predominantly quick fry food - a shame.

I normally come here to read my book or bring my study material in my own time and have a few cappuccinos. It's my kind of atmosphere and the service is generally quite pleasing.

Hands down the most disgusting meal out we’ve ever had. My stomach is turning just thinking about it. I had the festive pie which was freezing cold, came with raw carrots and parsnip, garlic mash which looked & tasted like it had been made months ago and cabbage and was nearly £20! My partner had a vegan burger which was equally as cold, tasted odd and our little boy had a kids meal which was again freezing cold but fine although very small portions. The service was shocking, there were barely any diners but we still waited long periods of time and the staff were too busy chatting to each other to notice or care. Will never go back and would avoid at all costs.

The venue itself is lovely but it ends there .. the poorest quality cocktails I have ever tasted .. don’t waste money here if cocktails is what you are looking to enjoy because the staff are not up to making them nor do they have any knowledge of what or how they should be made .. incredibly disappointing

I attended Cosy club Ipswich 1st December 2024 at 2pm with my family for a celebratory birthday meal with 4 children under 5 and a 5 year old. The service was abysmal to say the least. Took over half an hour for a waitress to take a drinks order and over an hour for food to be ordered and served. I can’t say the restaurant was busy, however a little bit of customer service would not hurt. The draught soft drinks were watery, especially the cokes and when we complained about this, the waitress gave 2 small bottles of coke. Considering we ordered a pint of coke and was charged for a pint was ridiculous! Upon arrival the children were not offered any activity packs whilst sat waiting for their food considering this took over an hour to order, and the lady stated once we sat down that the table will be required back at 4:30pm?! However, when we sat down at 2pm our order was not taken until 3:10pm?! What if we wanted to order dessert after our meal?! That would not be our fault, it would be the time management of your staff. Also, once the orders were ready to come out the lady stated whoever is having the pie this will be an additional 6 minutes?! However could see the chips were sat on the hot plate for at least 15 minutes with other food we had ordered. The food order still came out wrong with a side dish that was ordered with the main to come out 5 minutes after telling the waitress for her to state it will be another 5 minutes. Once this had come out we were pretty much finished! Lastly, upon leaving the restaurant the waitress did not print out the bill and the bill was not checked properly and my brother paid. Upon given the receipt once we were home, we were over charged massively! We were charged for 2 extra coke children’s drinks to which only 2 had coke, and an abysmal service charge of £19.66. I appreciate for large groups you have to pay the service charge however that was not worth the service we were given yesterday! Very disappointed will definitely not be returning!

Absolutely awful experience we got there 20 minutes early so sat and had a drink whilst we waited for our table we got shown to our table at 7.10 our table was booked for 7 (there were many empty tables though) We waited 25 mins for someone to take our order and there was lots of staff standing around doing nothing and it definitely wasn’t a full restaurant we ordered drink and our food 20 mins later our starters turned up before our drinks the manager went and chased them The starters were decent don’t get me wrong At 8.05 our mains turned up the chicken was black burnt and stone cold ! And the pasta was under cooked stone cold and a FREEZING cold plate our drinks then turned up … I went to the manger to mention it and he turned and said I’ll take care of the bill your welcome to go sorry about that !!! No other to rectify anything and although we appreciate it it ruined our evening we left hungry and very unhappy trying to find somewhere else to eat at 8.30 in the evening on a Saturday We Will not be returning ! Absolutely awful service

A recent Christmas lunch for a group of 12 turned out to be a bit of a mixed bag. The food, while decent, didn’t quite justify the cost. The initial service was underwhelming, with the bartender seeming disinterested. However, a subsequent bartender was fantastic and helped to improve the experience. Despite the enjoyable cocktails, we left feeling hungry and underwhelmed. Unfortunately, we won’t be rushing back.

A bit of a disappointing lunch, I ordered a fish finger sandwich and was instead brought a club sandwich, the food was nice but was not what I had ordered. Also we had one of their draught beers and because they were short on staff we ordered a second when one of the staff came over to check on the food, we were told that we couldn't have another until we had finished ours as there were only 2 glasses.

Stopped here as we were looking for somewhere nearby to our location with table service. Myself and two sons of 15 and 9 liked the look of the menu and the fact the place wasn’t overcrowded during the school half term. Table service lovely (cannot fault and tipped our waitress) Food was a massive disappointment. I was actually shocked at the poor effort in the presentation at first sight. I myself didn’t have a meal. My eldest son ordered the butter milk fried chicken with caramelised butter and green bean salad. £16 (something) Fries were amazing! The butter was completely solid on top of the chicken! My son had to squash it onto the heat to make it melt. On top was a bush of crispy fresh leaves, but no dressing and was completely dry. He described it as a garden weed. My youngest ordered the Breaded chicken breast with fries. Again the fries were lovely but a minimal amount. The presentation was so bad I actually didn’t know how to describe it myself. My eldest described the look of it like a meal from a soft play Birthday Party for young children! (I couldn’t have described it any better 🤣) I’m just glad I decided to have a large glass of wine instead of a £16+ meal! Waitress absolutely lovely. I don’t like to complain, I find it very hard to criticise and hurt feelings but something is very wrong here for my children to look shocked when their meal was delivered.

Having had a great meal at Mizu we wanted to extend the evening a little. Cosy Club seemed an ideal place for that. Imagine my surprise at being charged £26 for two glasses of wine by a rude bartender. A friend texted me to say he was only paying £10 a glass at the Albert Hall. Since when has the pit that is Ipswich town centre become more expensive for a drink than London? Is it any wonder Ipswich town centre is dead on its feet and ready to be counted out? The absolute disgrace of being charged so much for so little has ensured that we will never set foot in a Cosy Club again. Nor will our friends.

**edit** after a handful of visits I've decided to downgrade my previous review. I think I've been pretty fair but the lack of consistency has been bothersome. I didn't let the salty seabass or over done steak deter me. however, I draw the line at being served Luke warm basically cold hot chocolates and coffee... because that's the bare minium to get right. **older review** superb food, drinks and service. not shy of having a laugh at customers expense, I both noticed and enjoyed that in my inebriated state. would definitely recommend, and will visit again 🤣 perhaps for more food and less drinks.

Would recommend the vegan brunch! It has: vegan sausage, avocado & pea mint crush, hash browns, beans, mushrooms, roast vine tomatoes, toasted sourdough, vegan butter. (I think it must be a cost cutting measure to mix the avocado with peas!! Although it is tasty!) The place itself is a bit dark and stuffy at the back. There is seating near the windows overlooking the street, but the last few visits there was a lot of flies flying around in the window!

Visited just after 1300hrs on a Saturday. Barman looked harassed and unenthusiastic. Asked for a super berry smoothie, barman asked colleague if they'd run out of it and confirmed they had. Asked for orange juice instead, poured from a bottle by the sink, not freshly squeezed, for the price they charge it should be. Asked if they had crisps or snacks, told I could only from the food menu. Won't bother going again.

We were then seated and was sat down waiting for 15 minutes with no one coming to serve us even though there was only another 3 tables in the restaurant. Waiters walking around aimlessly avoiding any work possible it seemed. As we were leaving, two of the staff members were busy chatting at the reception desk.

Drinks came promptly and were delicious and the food was fantastic. Our older son and his girlfriend often visit and have told us how good it is, and we completely agree. My fries were a little late coming out, which was fine, but the manager very kindly gave us another portion on the house without being asked. All in all, great service, yummy food, very good presentation and a lovely atmosphere. We noticed that there was a real mix of people eating, from couples to family groups which was a very good sign.

We love this place and regularly stop by in the evening for dinner and drinks - and Saturday / Sunday mornings pop in for the odd light bite and coffee. It's usually on the ball and one of those reliable places you can count on - so I felt it was high time I actually reviewed the place! I couldn't ever recall having a bad meal here prior, and the staff have always been great. Quite unusual then, that we'd have a slightly below-par experience a couple of Saturdays ago... I'd ordered the buttermilk chicken, having seen the same dish ordered by two of my friends a couple of weeks prior; my partner ordered the black truffle ricotta ravioli. We were one of only 4 (maybe 5?) tables occupied in the place, yet for some reason our food had sat on the servery for quite some time before it was eventually picked up and brought over. Unfortunately the ravioli was tasteless and served in a very watery sauce - and for some reason my buttermilk chicken had a ton of salt on it, which I took hold off, turned it upside down and shook most of it off :o) That said - the staff were great and asked how we'd like the situation resolved, but immediately struck the ravioli off the bill. It was also the weekend of Ipswich Town FC going for their promotion to Premier League so the town was extremely busy and perhaps this was a factor in staffing this weekend (even though the Cosy Club itself wasn't that busy). Not to be put off though - we absolutely love this place and being realistic, sometimes things aren't always tip-top - but when you set the bar so high in the first place, I guess it is easy for these things to be more noticeable on the rare occasions they occur! In sharp contrast a few weeks prior, I'd been here with friends before we went to see Troy Hawke at the Cornhill Exchange and had the Spanish chicken. Although I told the staff at the time - for anyone wondering what to choose on the menu - give this a try as it was the best meal I'd had in ages - absolutely superb. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone for food & drink.

My partner and I came for dinner and drinks, and had quite the mixed evening. Cocktails were good, even if it took 15minutes to get them. The starter portions are very small, but quite tasty (beef and bacon croquettes, you get 2). The duck was delicious, but the mains don't come with any sides for some strange reason, so those need to be ordered separately. The rioja was the highlight of the evening, and its hard to get that wrong. The deserts were "okay". The staff seemed to be on holiday abroad throughout, with only one member of staff actually doing their job on the floor - which left our cocktail glasses, shot glasses, and the glasses for water, all piled up at the side of a table that seats two. I had to specifically ask for someone to do their job and actually come and collect the pile of used glasses so there was room to breath. Overall, it's overpriced mediocrity staffed by a cooking team and a single server. If it was busy then I'd understand the lack of attention to customers and their tables, but when a restaurant as large as this is filled to a capacity that barely exceeds double digits its hard to find a reason for the terrible service. Wouldn't recommend coming here, and we won't be returning in the future - we had to go to ocean fish platter after just to salvage our evening. 2/10.

Short staffed so who is working is rushed off their feet and no time for any sort of customer service. Food turned up luke warm and just about weatherspoon standards. Staff dumped food on the table no offer of sauces ect never saw him again. Not the staffs fault as they have to much to do it's management cutting staff to make profits. When will these chain companies releases if you don't have customers you don't have a business so you need to give the customer the best experience when they have chosen to eat and spend their money in your restaurant. I don't wish to return so there because of the lack of customer services and a general lack of care you have lost two customers. There are only so many customers and if you don't have any it's close the door time. It will be closed within 18 months if it's not ill eat my words and return.

It was a quiet morning. We went for breakfast. It was over an hour before we gave up on waiting for the food. We had to leave without getting our food as we had an appointment to get to. I got the impression from the staff that people giving up waiting was normal for them.

A very poor experience all round. We booked a table for 6pm, it took five minutes for someone to even seat us. Our order was finally taken after fifteen minutes. Our starter did not arrive until 6.40pm and was tepid. Our main course arrived at 7pm, in two parts, mine first then after five minutes I had to ask a waiter where my wife's main course was. My main course was very nice; however my wife's burger was actually pink in the middle and hadn't been cooked properly, she had eaten some of it before she realised. The service was appalling, despite asking for water twice, we didn't get any until asking a third time. We complained and the staff agreed we would pay for the burger and didn't charge for our drinks, but still paid £27 for a really poor service and a bad meal. We were unable to have dessert as we had booked to watch a show and the late service meant we didn't have time. Really awful rushed atmosphere as well. We went having heard some good things but won't return, it really spoiled a nice evening out.

I've tried to have luch with my wife and my 1 year old son, but unfortunately, we have been waiting over 20 minutes and nobody took our order. Was only 1 lady working on the floor, running for one table to another. The menu was looking very interesting and I was planning to get Butcher's Brunch but I had to leave.

This was ok. Just it took so long to get 5 drinks. Coffee was burnt and just cold when we actually got it . Staff were friendly but just not a place to be to get a coffee. Staff didn't know the difference between a latte and cappuccino and the glass of coke was vial. Tasted like a cola pop had been melted. Was not carbonated and flat. Even from a glass bottle would have been better as it seemed so watered down. Perhaps because it was sat waiting to be served for so long....

Food and drinks are awesome, the venue is lovely and ‘cosy’, if you are in town or visiting Ipswich i can’t recommend this place enough, for the beer lovers out there, i recommend the Hofmeister! Great pint and a great glass

We took our Granddaughter here for brunch before we went to the pantomime. She loves coming here as she loves the pancakes. Today unfortunately she was out of luck as they had run out of them and weren’t expecting any until Monday. How do you tell an 8 year old that a restaurant has run out of her favourite. We had a few tears and would have gone somewhere else but we’re tight for time. Come on Cosy Club this is not good service. We didn’t really even get an apology.

I very recently visited for diner, prior to going to the theatre. I chose to eat from the Christmas menu, choosing 3 courses. Service was great, and the food exceeded expectations, the belly pork in particular being a delight. The Cosy Club is always my choice when visiting the centre of Ipswich for a meal prior to an evening out, good food, nice atmosphere and professional, but friendly service.

Tha food was lovely, gluten free menu too! All was good, Our only fault was the male staff member, who took our food order!! He brought out( after a long wait) starters and main together, well no good eateries will do that, you have your starters and then main about 15 min later, when we mentioned it and said that we were not happy, he basically said that yes I know I wrote the order down wrong, he was not pleasant and said it was our fault!! Won't be eating there again, it spoilt our evening, it was hubby's 60th birthday too!! We got a discount off the bill, from the lady server, but the man was very rude!

Had the service been up to scratch the overall rating would be higher. When you order food, starter followed by mains you expect there to be a gap in-between courses!! Not according to the waiter who served us! Both courses arrived at same time so the mains would be getting cold whilst eating the starters! He was most taken aback when I asked for the mains to be taken away and made fresh when first course finished! It was a steak which takes 15 mins to cook, over an hour after starter finished and numerous reminders given before food finally arrived! This was very nice but it was obviously a deliberate delaying tactic by the staff! Spoilt what was a birthday celebration dinner!

The food is OK but not many choices and very over priced. There was over an hour between us ordering and food being brought which wasn't great. However staff are very friendly and lovely cocktails

Have never been here before we were met and greeted and shown to our table. A very nice lady ( Paula) was our server and made us very welcome. Food very tasty with a few glasses of wine. It was 6pm and not to busy so the atmosphere was quite.

Lovely venue, good seats and excellent view regardless of where you sat. We saw The Little Prince by the Protein group and would recommend seeing this if you can. The cafe is good and staffed by friendly and patient people.

Popped in as had half an hour to kill before I had to pick up my son from a class and it looked cosy. I thought I’d travelled back in time when I was charged £1.35 for a half a pint of the guest ale. In 2024! Not often you’re surprised by how cheap something is these days! Lovely old school atmosphere and friendly staff too.

Nice coffee shop. Hadn't been here before until this morning but it was nice and plenty of seating available. Good cakes and nice coffee.
