Oast Ocean in Ipswich

Well! I thought I’d visit with a friend of mine, since I’ve not been there before. I’d have liked to tick it off my list, instead I’m just ticked off. Place didn’t open at 12 as they boast about, no signs of life inside, half finished drinks still sitting on the bar and tables from the night before. Implying no preparations for opening had commenced. Not a good start for landlords that want to give this place a good go. Respect the customers.

Ordered a house special curry with mushroom fried rice. Had to wait over twice the delivery time. Don't get me wrong.. lovely food.. just not what I ordered. Not even a king prawn in sight. Will spend my money elsewhere in future.

What can I say!!! Drinks only so can't comment on food. 2 bar staff who clearly were over worked as the place was packed ,but really do need customer service training .at the bar somebody had walked out with a round of drinks and the bar man realised his card needed to be inserted and he just chucked the card machine on the side and said oh f... that and carried on serving the next people .as an older person and worked in retail for 45 this was an eye opener .was lovely sitting drinking wine in the sun but this establishment seriously need some management skills

We were staying in the Premier Inn next door so booked for dinner here. It seemed very busy when we walked in but we were greeted warmly, seated and a drinks order taken very promptly. The service was attentive throughout and the food was delicious. Definitely recommend.

First time visiting here and the food was absolutely delicious, could not fault it. Enjoyed a 3 course dinner. The service was second to none, very friendly and attentive. Will most certainly be returning again. Highly recommend a visit.
