MRS Pipers in Suffolk Coastal

We ate here today and I can honestly say it was a horrible meal. I had a prawn baguette, it tasted very strange and I could not eat all of it, the coleslaw tasted heavily of onion ! The chips were mediocre. The toilets were outside and pretty dire. I told the waitress about the prawns but it fell on deaf ears.

Lovely girl serving the food, unfortunately the meal was terrible, we had tuna toasted sandwiches with a side of chips. Very little filling in sandwich, tiny salad and half a dozen crisps, the chips were hard and over coocked. The back room where we were located was tired and needs updating. Very poor.

Opinion similar to June 2024 review by Rory M. We had cottage pie and there was very little meat and it lacked flavour. A lot of potato and cheese on top. The veg were peas, carrots and sweetcorn within the cottage pie and accompanying it. Would of hoped that both would not be the same. Food service was slow. Will not be returning.

Stopped here as we were having a day out in Woodbridge. Staff friendly as we walked in. We ordered 2 drinks and food. I ordered a prawn jacket potato. I was then told they have no prawns! So I opted for homemade cottage pie and veg. When it arrived the cottage pie was soaked in cheese and very little mince. The veg was definitely from a packet. Couldn’t eat all of it as it was fatty. My partner had all day brunch. It looked nice but it was tasteless. He has now got an upset stomach. Very poor. We won’t be going back.

I love this cafe been coming for 3 years. Visited recently and loved the new decor making it look really fresh. Food is delicious and at a reasonable price Jamie and the staff are always helpful and friendly. Think it's important to support our local cafes and restaurants. Pink Lady Sue and Chris ❤️

Had lunch here before and it was ok so went back with my Mrs and we decided to go for a cooked meal. We ordered steak pudding with veg and lamb pie and veg, both with mashed potatoes. When it came the pudding and pies were nice but the veg was disappointing, You know that when you eat out and get peas they are going to be horrible and these were too hard, just like the sweetcorn. There was also cauliflower with some odd brown bits on but the most disappointing was the mashed potato, I swear it was out of a packet! Now we weren’t expecting fine dining but packet mash and frozen veg was a bit disappointing. I was going to say that it was disappointing for the price but even at half the price I would have been disappointed. Oh yes, we had a long wait too. Sorry but we won’t be going back.

What a nice place to stumble upon in thd heart of Woodbridge. If you want a drink, snack, light-bite or bigger meal this is the place to visit. Our order was taken and drinks served swiftly then, In appropriate time for fresh cooked, our food arrived. Well cooked, tasty and of good portion size... highly recommended. A special mention too to Heather, our smiley and customer-focused server.. Thank you, we'll see you again.

Went to the restaurant a bit later than I intended to: waited ages for the food to arrive and at one stage I had to say to the waitress to cancel the food as I was running out of time. She informed me it was virtually ready so I stayed to eat - faster eating than normal!! The pie (lamb and mint) was nice, the mashed potato was good and lots of vegetables. I didn't have time to really do it justice but what I did eat I enjoyed. Strange place though with the toilet out the back - a bit run down looking too.

There was such a lack of concentration where the staff were concerned. I ordered Cappuccino with no chocolate and I got chocolate. My husband ordered a pot of tea and got a mug. He was given a knife and fork for his soup. My Cheese burger was half cooked and had some kind of margarine spread on the roll, I couldn't eat it. My husbands soup was plain served with a slice of supermarket bread with margarine on and just not value for money as the soup was £7.35. I did complain , they said sorry but did nothing about it.

Unpretentious Old-Style Cafe that provides good service and lots of choice. A nice welcome from friendly staff. We had cups of nice strong tea and tasty cakes. There was also a very wide choice of meals available, all at reasonable prices.

15 minutes after ordering our two cups of tea arrived. 15 minutes later we asked why we still hadn't had our sandwiches and were told that they were very busy and we would have them in 5 minutes. At this point another customer piped up that he had been waiting even longer! After 40 minutes our sandwiches appeared, but the first one had to be sent back to be toasted, as ordered. Now we weren't in a hurry, but that sort of delay is not acceptable. The staff were doing there best, and it was busy, but if only they had explained from the outset that there would be a delay we could have made a judgement one way or another. The food was ok in the end.

Dirty grubby place!! Had a sandwich with very little salad on a tiny side plate! Carpet by back door was awful. Paintwork needs fresh paint. I could go on but not worth wasting anymore of my time. Definitely a no go!! I had my own Tearoom before I retired and it was well looked after.

Sorry but the 2 servers in this place were awful. I asked 3 times for some tap water as I needed to take some tablets. The girl had sat down and was doing nothing and still hadn’t got the water I wanted. There were loads of flies in the place, some of which were stuck in cobwebs that hadn’t been cleaned from the windows. One of the flies then decided to drown itself in my tea. I had a pot and wanted to finish the rest. I went to the counter and showed her the tea - said I didn’t want a new pot but I’d like a new cup for the rest of my pot of tea. I waited - she just carried on busying herself behind the counter. I went and sat down, thinking she’d bring the fresh cup over. Nothing. Went back up and was about to pick one myself when she finally gave me the cup. No training at all. Will never go back, made me angry for the rest of the day. Don’t bother with this place, much nicer places in Woodbridge.

We were given a nice welcome on arriving, but unfortunately that's where the start to our good morning ended. The cafe was almost empty with only 2 other customers & we wondered why as its got the perfect high street position. My wife and i had the decaffeinated coffee & fruit scones but unfortunately a short while after we both felt a little queasy. The coffee was fine, it was the homemade scones which were rather "claggy". Needless to say we won't be returning next time we visit Woodbridge.

We stopped of on a trip & I had a BLT Baguette which came with homemade coleslaw, a bit of salad & crisps. My wife had scrabbled egg on toast. I had 2 Cappuccino's & my wife had 1. Very nice snack.

One reviw said "basic & inadequate". Another said "needs a good decoration". What did you expect? 5* service served on a platter? It's a cafe. Did you complain? I've eaten in this cafe dozens of times & found the staff polite, funny & more than helpful. The food is excellent & exactly what you'd expect from a cafe. .

We went into Woodbridge for lunch so picked this shop. We had a baguette., which we were told was going to be a soft roll. Husband had cheese and onion and I had cheese and pickle. These came with a bit of salad and crisps, which was though could of done with a bit more filling. The tables were clean, though not sure if the menus were wiped after use, but we hand sanitised. The staff weren't wearing masks. The shop jut looked a bit shabby, with some of the paint coming off the wall. the toilets looked like they need a good clean dust on the pipes, and scum around the plug hole, and a stiff bolt to fasten and unfasten. We wouldn't go again.

A soul destroying experience in a tearoom with no atmosphere what so ever. The whole place is cluttered with furniture stacked at one end. The remainder is basic with tables covered in wipe clean cloths. The cafe was empty when I arrived but despite this my table was dirty with ketchup in the cloth and the table top bin had rubbish in. My sandwich was poorly filled and the side salsas minimal. It was hot and freshly made on the plus side. I think I would avoid this place in the future.

Whilst on holiday we popped in for a sandwich for lunch, nice friendly staff with big smiles, we both had chicken mayo with crisps and salad which tasted great and a soft drink, every town needs a Mrs Pipers.

Meet friends here for lunch. Back door open for plenty of cleansing breeze, although did make inside quite cold. Wondered if our table hadn't been cleaned prior to sitting at it as found a hair on it, but was busy and might have got missed as cleaning of tables is the norm there. Had a long wait for food, but as I said it was busy and only a small establishment with only 2 waitresses and one cook. Food was worth the wait, very tasty and plenty of it. Staff friendly and laid back atmosphere. Environment very basic and tired in places but for a catch up with friends it was ideal and if you want some good food at a good price then this is ideal.

I went here for lunch whilst having a day out in Woodbridge. The lady serving was very friendly, & found me a table on a busy day with all the Covid restrictions in place. Good basic home cooked English fayre and very good value. There were people waiting for tables when I left which showed how popular this place is. Will go here again when next in Woodbridge

Mid morning Saturday visit for a late breakfast Lots of Covid19 measures in place and more spread out tables. Restaurant was empty on arrival but did feel up quickly, a few outside tables available. Filtered coffee very nice but no alternative milks available for allergies customers Breakfast recommended with lots of choice at reasonable prices Toilets clean and tidy but access via a few steps and outside at the rear could be hard for some.

We sampled Mrs Piper`s finest Suffolk lunches in mid August and we were regaled with spendid sunshine in the Thoroughfare seating that captures all the heritage attraction of fine Saxon Woodbridge.

I wanted a good English lunch. Home cooked food was excellent and very good service. Lady serving was extremely pleasant and helpful and during this difficult time for restaurants opening again, she went to great lengths to do everything right, from extra cleaning between customers to ensuring distance was maintained between customers.

Without a shadow of a doubt the worst cafe we've eaten in. The Bacon Burger & Chips our son ordered was more fat than bacon. My Ham Salad was bland beyond compare, the Tuna & Sweet corn baguette ordered by our other son was scantily filled and my husband's Liver & Bacon was very mediocre. Don't waste your money.

Only called in for a morning coffee - but decided on a cake as well. Good service, coffee and cake - all at reasonable prices.

Dined here yesterday and had the steak and ale pudding,which was really filling and served with chips and vegetables.Excellent value for money!

We went in here for a late breakfast after a walk around Woodbridge. One cooked breakfast and 2 sausage baps with teas and coffee. Food was fine, unfussy as previous customers have commented. Great value for money. Prompt service. Keep up the good work.

Just had one of the worst liver and bacons I have ever eaten. Liver tasted as if it had been cooked last week and it was dry and tough as old boots.

Dropped in here for a bacon gap and mug of tea. Both were very good. There was plenty of bacon in the bap and it was very tasty. Tea was good and it was a nice place to sit and watch Woodbridge wake up. Old fashioned, but that is no bad thing.

A small old fashioned caff. Plain food, served simply. Bit of a delight really when wherever you go these days the menu is revved up with copious and superfluous description and twiddly bits on the plate. Very good, very friendly and honestly down to earth.

I like this simple clean cafe, just up the Thoroughfare away from the main run of shops, past Boots. It does tasty well cooked unpretentious food at fair prices. If you peer in and it looks full, there is another room beyond, up one step. I had a toasted sandwich with cheese and pineapple (lovely) and chips and drink. Can't remember exact price but under £10 and enjoyed it. Friendly staff, and noticed one very well behaved dog (only saw him as they left)

Delicious home cooked food in the heart of woodbridge. Traditional meals served, lovely atmosphere. Not many small places left like this anymore. Keep up the good work

I'm sure everyone has had more than their fair share of horrible poached eggs. This was perfection on toast. A fairly basic looking cafe but it was packed with people tucking in and we were served by a lovely, friendly lady (Mrs Piper?).

Large Breakfast is a good way to start the day and Mrs Pipers can deliver on this requirement Nice quaint place to have a lunch as well

good value,friendly and comfortable tea rooms offering a wide selection of traditional English fare.

It was the first day of our long weekend in Woodbridge and we’d spent a good few hours exploring the local shops and needed a break for lunch. At first sight Mrs Pipers May not be the most attractive place in town. But never judge a book by its cover....the food was great, very reasonable prices, quick service and a “no rush” atmosphere for customers. Enough said. Great place for a quick lunch. The chilli jacket potato was yummy. High on the list for another visit next trip to Suffolk

Called in for a quick breakfast on a Saturday morning.. Light Breakfast and a mug of coffee. A little over £6.00.. Traditional Style Greesy Spoon.

Light brunch was delicious, perfectly cooked, perfect size for me and boyfriend each. Easily swapped mushrooms for something we each liked. Good tea, coffee and cake too, and very well priced. Definitely make this our regular when we pop to woodbridge!

I stopped by on a cold snowy morning for a reviving Full English and a mug of Hot Tea...For £6.50 in this town that's a bargain...Absolutely delicious...Thick cut tasty bacon... Jumbo sausages...good ingredients and lots of it too...If you want a good honest home cooked meal then this is the place to come....

My sister and I popped in there today as the other coffee shop was shut. We decided to have something quick. So I hada tuna sandwich on brown and sister had prawn on white. Well the sandwiches were priced at about £3.75 each and was expecting a bit more than a crap sandwich and wedge of to maintain, slice of cucumber and a pinch of iceberg. The tuna and Mayo obviously the cheapest brand around and the bread possibly a week old. My sister's prawn sandwich was apparently the worst she had ever had. The white bread obviously old. We were not asked how it was, guessing the waitress knew it was bad. The can of coke and coffee were good!. Not many people in there not surprising really as it was so cold in there, possibly warmer outside. Definitely won't be rushing back there again anytime soon.

Was in Woodbridge on Saturday looking for a bite to eat when we came across your little gem of a tea room and what a find it turned out to be.A great choice of food at reasonable prices Although it was very busy the staff were very polite and helpful I chose the mini breakfast which came with a generous portion of chips and each item was cooked to perfection, the pot of tea for two was nice and hot and enough for two cups each. there is a good selection of cakes and desserts on offer which i hope to return and sample some time in the future'

My wife visited here yesterday with a friends and two children so in total 3 adults and two children. They welcomed by the friendly waitress and once seated were given the menu. Drinks were ordered and served, the waitress was very friendly. The only negative was that the waitress looked very rushed working on her own as it was geting to about 2ish so the ideal time for people to pop in to have a late lunch or even afternoon tea and cake. The prices are very reasonable compared to other local establishments in the town. So all in all a good round friend happy family run eaterie.

Es un simple café todos los días y sirve buena comida caliente, bocadillos, desayunos valor, etc. Servicio amable. Tuvimos frijoles en las tostadas y dos huevos escalfados sobre una tostada, con dos bebidas por menos de 10 libras. Justo en la principal arteria en Woodbridge, supera a otros lugares cercanos más caro.

Teníamos una preciosa desayuno durante todo el día aquí recientemente. Era cocinado cuando pedimos y todo muy sabroso. De champiñones y tomates y real no de lata. El tocino y salchichas eran preciosas y mis huevos estaban cocinados a la perfección. La señorita que nos servía era muy accesible. Toda la comida que otros estaban comiendo parecía bueno y todo el mundo de placas volví limpio. Todo estaba muy limpio. El inodoro está justo en la parte de atrás unos pasos pero estaba limpia. Sin duda, volveremos.

La comida es barata es bastante soso y mal presentado, tuve un pollo bagguete y algunas de las de pollo todavía era de deshielo y sabía horrible! Es una pena, porque es un negocio familiar y lo odio verlo ir cuesta abajo.

Habiendo caminado a lo largo del río y volver necesitamos comer un bocado. Muy buen desayuno inglés completo y una taza de té.

La señorita que lleva este lugar debería ser aplaudido. Ella estaba literalmente corriendo intentando mantener las mesas y conseguir los pueblos bebidas claras. Este sitio necesita una 2ª persona para ayudar a ella. La comida también era promedio

Metimos en un almuerzo tardío. Mi marido tenía carne y budín de riñón que le encantó. Tuve la gambas y muy agradable. Menú con montones y montones de opciones si desea una comida completa, sandwiches, ensaladas o incluso un desayuno inglés completo. También algunas opciones para vegetarianos y tortillas. Un verdadero hallazgo y volveremos de nuevo cuando nos están en la zona.

Nunca había comido tanto como mal en mi vida! Parecía que nada y ensalada la cheesburger era de lo peor que he visto! ! Carne, Queso derretido no cocidas, pan blanco como nunca antes. . Las patatas fritas eran bien..

Comida excelente relación calidad-precio - una delicia no lujoso pero limpio, comer un gran valor y lo que podría después de un paseo elegante Woodbridge

Great service... excellent food...excellent coffee....well worth a visit whether its for coffee, cake, or a meal

We went here for lunch--good range of food all at very reasonable prices.Soup was homemade & delicious & the sausage baguette was fine

I had been here before last year, so said to my dad and uncle on the way to fram,I know the perfect place for a breakfast, and it was. full english well cooked and presented with friendly service at a great price in nice old style surroundings, will call again when in the area.

always good here very happy to recommend if you want good home cooked food in a pleasant traditional cafe , always a smile from staff, and very reasonable prices

Lovely little cafe offering snacks to main meals. Good quality meals from cooked breakfasts to salads. Friendly staff and reasonable priced.

What a treat to find friendly restaurant with fantastic food too. I would recommend the toasted sandwiches. I would agree with another reviewer the toilet could do with a bit of attention.

Good wholesome (normal food), breakfast, lunch and snacks. Great coffee. Great service. Friendly staff. Been here many times and is a lovely treat on a trip to woodbridge

Good food served quickly and with a great choice of home cooked dishes.Staff are always helpful and smiling.

We couldn't fault the food or service and we had a very enjoyable lunch, the only thing we would say is that the flooring and toilet need a bit of attention.

Amazing Breakfast for a very good price or if later in the day, go for the brunch option. WOW!!! Don't be afraid to ask for alternative options for your egg, they will cook it however you ask for.

We stopped here for lunch while in the town. The food and service were good. They seem to get busy, so this is a good sign.

Have been here many time with my family good food and a lovely atmosphere. Always great service and child friendly what more could you want.

All ways welcoming and the food is all ways good you could not find a better cafe. pop in you will not be disappoint.

Having been passing the small town of Woodbridge on a visit to friends, we decided to stop for a coffee, shall we try a Costa or Nero, which this small town has one of each, no, we shall try an original tea room. Pleasant staff and an ambient feel to traditional coffee drinking not lost in a huge franchise like its near neighbours, a personal friendly service and a recommended stop to anyone that passes through this historic beautiful town

Excellent place for a quick bite or a good meal, family run cafe, lovely people, very accommodating, fantastic all day breakfasts. Great value in the heart of Woodbridge. (not to mention the fantastic cakes)

Reasonably priced traditional food.Good for popping into for a snack , a nice meal or just a cuppa with a piece of homemade cake or scone.Nice staff too.

We were looking for somewhere to have lunch and found Mrs Piper's perfect. A real old fashioned cafe, with a warm welcome and great service. We ordered jacket potato for me and ham, eggs and chips for husband. It was very busy with couples and families on half term break. We noticed many different meals being served, all looking so good we need to go back and try some of the other choices. No frills, good basic food, good service and good atmosphere, oh and a good cup of tea.

Baguette/sandwich lunches for daughter and me, with soft drinks. Nice welcome, prompt service, good food and drinks but best of all terrific value! All that came to exactly £10 Can't fault that can you? Nice traditional interior with a further room at the rear, although we didn't see that one. Very agreeable!

I tend to pop in for a bit of lunch when my kids are off school. The staff are great and serve simple cafe fare and great homemade cakes. Good value, nicely made, lovely staff.

Staff welcomed us when we entered and were attentive and politpriced.ll time without being intrusive. Food cooked to order and reasonably priced

This cafe is slightly out of the centre of Woodbridge, but is definitely worth the trip. Lots of choice on the menu, very good prices and friendly service. We had lunch, cream tea and bacon sandwich, both very nice. The cafe is clean and family friendly and has level access for those who find steps difficult.

Went to this café following a recommendation from a friendly charity worker.What a find.Nothing pretentious. Just a well run café with homemade cakes and a decent range of hot food.Pleasant friendly staff.My wife and I enjoyed our brunch which was piping hot.We will certainly return when in Woodbridge.

Lovely cosy homely feel cafe with a wide variety of food and friendly staff. Homemade cakes were amazing, we had carrot cake and Victoria sponge both very light and delicious. Would definitely return, just for a slice of cake! Mrs Piper's was very popular for breakfasts, which I will try next time. We both had a toasted sandwich and chips, great flavours and good value.

Went with my wife and friend for breakfast, everything piping hot, all local produce, and a lovely waitress . food was enjoyable and would definitely go again,

Very friendly staff, a varied menu at very reasonable prices. Can be busy at lunchtime,because the food is good.
