Dooleys Pub in Suffolk Coastal

Don’t take young/teenage girls here. Especially dont let them work here.I worked with one of the owners when I was 14 in a restaurant they were running…… you guess I won’t say no more

What a lovely pub! We was out celebrating my Dad's birthday last night and we had a great time. We was served by Amber who was very good waitress and made us laugh. The food was very good and must say a thank you to the cook .

7 of us visited the Dooley yesterday for a Christmas meal Can't fault it. Staff friendly and helpful, food very good and reasonably fair price. Attractive and comfortable

There's nothing pretentious about the Dooley. We like the staff, and the food, which is homely and unoriginal. What's described is what you get. Most of the customers come from the docks (largest container port in the country) or nearby holiday caravan parks (in season).

Segunda visita para el domingo. Almuerzo con mi esposo. La comida no era tan buena como nuestra primera visita como Yorkshire estaban congelados no fresca como la primera vez. También había niños descontrolados corriendo y jugando bajo la mesa mientras comíamos.

Food was very good service was helpful and good selection of beers to choose from nice and clean but a small I fashion of flys on a warm night But this dose get the thumbs up

Absolutely brilliant day, great food, good beer and great company in this well decorated little pub. Special thanks to all the girls behind the bar for their service.

My friend and I thought we would try The Dooley again after many years away. Suffice to say we were very disappointed. Upon entering the pub kids programmes were on the television for someone's child taking up a table. This made us choose to sit in the conservatory so we could have a conversation. I ordered a jacket potato with chicken and bacon (normally they do a 'stuffed' potato mix but I didn't want the Mayo) and my friend ordered a tuna sandwich. They obliged by serving me a barely cooked potato with chopped chicken and bacon which had a strange yellow tinge to the edges and the sandwich was OK according to my friend, if a little sloppy with the mayo. When I told the staff member that the potato was undercooked she collected it and also confirmed that the yellow tinge was mustard. I asked for cheese and beans jacket potato this time as I thought this would simple. When the replacement meal was served the waitress said to let her know if it wasn't cooked and then I could have a full refund if not. I couldn't understand why she couldn't have checked this herself?! Unfortunately the second potato was also undercooked. Before we left the pub I went to the till and a different lady served me. She wanted to only refund me for the (cheaper) cheese and beans option so I had to insist this was incorrect. Thus followed her conversation with the original lady who then agreed this information. I was told that their normal chef wasn't there as a reason for my complaint. Does that remove the ability to serve food as it should be-cooked and not tainted with other items from the kitchen with a side order of attitude? We will not be returning especially after I received the death stare whilst receiving my refund even though i was perfectly polite. Appalling service, attitude and food-you have been warned.

We walked to this pub from the caravan park and was amazed at the stunning views at night it was constant lorrys and cranes moving lighting up the dark sky as if it was daylight we sat outside on the picnic tables.for twenty minutes in awe of the biggest port in England,afterwards we sat inside the warm cosy lounge there was a log burner going in the bar keeping the whole pub warm ,the toilets looked brand new and were very clean ,they have a pool table and a dart board in the smaller back room ,we havnt tried the food yet so looking to try that in the future

Went there with my son last year. It's right by the port, has a large car-park and is full of drivers from the port. It's in good nick, quite smart and does good portions of plain food (gammon and chips I had, I think) at a decent price. Plenty of types of beer, as I recall.Not really a place for an evening out, but good for a good meal and a pint.

My family was visiting Felixstowe over Christmas and we popped in for a quiet lunchtime drink. The staff were a little abrupt and the place wasn't really suitable for families (which isn't really their fault). MUST TRY HARDER!

Went in here for a drink as we spotted it while driving past on a Friday evening.We were made very welcome as it seemed to be all locals.Friendly barmaid.Cannot comment on the food as we didn't eat here,but the food did look good.
