Royal George in Ipswich

It was a great night. Ian our server was fantastic, catered for all our needs. There was 12 of us, they got all food out at a good speed.

Three of us had our Christmas meal here on Friday, we had pre booked our food as it was going to be very busy. We were welcomed by smiling faces & promptly shown to our table, our drinks order was taken immediately & we were asked whether we wanted our meal straight away or would we like a while first. The table was ours for the evening so we didn’t feel rushed. We all had prawn cocktail starter which was a decent portion size, butter packs were solid but not a real complaint. Turkey with all the trimmings for mains, always disappointed to see frozen roasties but aside from that it was a lovely meal. Our table was decorated & we each had a cracker to pull, Christmas music playing in the background & a festive feel all round. No dessert for us so can’t comment on that. We would absolutely re visit

Came here for a xmas meal with my works,I had a turkey roast with the trimmings was very poor no mash potato and the roasts were frozen the turkey was disgusting not cut off a proper turkey that's for sure would not recommend

Good atmosphere, nice staff, and quick service, but unfortunately, the food was overcooked and tasteless.

Hygiene at this place is non existent. Glasses not washed caked in unknown liquids, tables sticky, salt and pepper also covered in unknown liquids. You can tell that the food comes straight from the freezer.

Staff are very warm and welcoming, food is great and a brilliant place to watch live sport highly recommended

Had a lovely meal again today. The staff are so welcoming and very helpful. Highly recommended 👌

Great value and food was better than last visit. Staff all friendly and welcoming

Food was amazing. Ian was more than helpful with our check backs and making sure we had everything. Tried the new christmas cocktails! Definitely a must 👌 even though they was busy we was still looked after very well.

Had a great night with my friends. Ian the managers is very attentive even though busy we had the best service and best time

I booked up a table for me and my family for a birthday meal and was so angry when I got a call ONE HOUR before my booking to say they weren’t serving food. Now I understand that things can happen but if they saw something happening in the kitchen earlier (the lady told me) I should’ve been contacted way before so I could find another restaurant for us to dine at as being a booking of 6 it can be tricky to find a short notice slot. Not happy

Lovely pub, always great service with great food at reasonable price's

Returned as new manager has taken over. It has changed for the best since we last went. Food was excellent and the service was very good with a very friendly staff. Real pleasure to go somewhere to receive this treatment.

One word. AMAZING EDIT: Visited tonight, Thursday arriving around 6pm, hadn't booked but was ample tables and drinks order taken straight away. Was asked if we had the app or wanted table service, opted for table. :) No phones at the dinner table rule. Long story short, plates collected, no drink refils or desserts offered, and didn't see waitress again to ask. So we went else where for them as I promised the children puddings :) Finally flagged waitress down for the bill and she didn't seem to bother rushing to get it for us, her customer service skills seriously lacked, more communication would have been appreciated before just walking away once she offered a receipt! Shame since my last review was so good.

Tasty food. Good value for money.

Looked after really well by manager creating a lovely atmosphere, relaxed , warming and great sense of humour . Table service by Annie who was delightful, friendly, helpful and nothing was too much trouble they squeezed us last minute on a busy day but didn't blink an eye lid over it. Chefs in kitchen did a great job all 9 of us absolutely loved all of our meals. We will back again soon

Had a family meal for my daughter’s 18th birthday 16 people. Lovely food all served at the same time. Staff were very friendly and polite. Would highly recommend for a large family occasion.

We visited before going to an event for some food, beautiful food, friendly staff, thank you for your hospitality Ian. Look forward to seeing you again soon

We went to the Royal George in Ipswich last night for a family meal. We were a very large group with lots of requirements. A pre-order had been submitted in advance but we had some on the day amendments and the team handled this perfectly. We were greeted warmly and the team provided us with exceptional service. I’d like to make a special mention to Kaci for taking the lead role in handling our enquiries. She communicated well with us and made sure everything was right with our orders. There were absolutely no issues and everything really did run as smooth as it could. We did thank Kaci and team but we thought it was worth expressing this feedback on Trip Advisor also. Highly recommended for accommodating large groups, we have already booked again to go back in December!

Went on a quiet Friday afternoon.Every thing was fine,nice lady server.Food was good,attentive service,definitely will go back.

always had a nice pint and great taking hot food when cycling back from ipswich hospital with a ex cant fault the staff nice people been in other pubs in ipswich not as nice

It was a really nice place, the food was really lovely

I always bring Dad hereafter he has had an appointment at the hospital. He loves the food here, and was even more pleased when Hannah pointed out that they have a menu for seniors offering smaller portions. As an older gent he has a much smaller appetite. Hannah is always very efficient and helpful, and the food is always very good. It’s excellent value for money. I would strongly recommend this pub.

Short of staff. Everything takes ages to arrive. Decent sized food portions

Great food, friendly staff, decor nice and bright

Went to a wake there . Gluten free food is very poor just sandwiches. Which were not very nice. Went to Douglas Bader to wake Monday before, very good. Nice rolls, chicken pieces, potato balls, chips . And as it should put on a separate table so no contamination.

Wonderful service from this local pub, staffs are very friendly and hrlpful, especially Nathan, Annie, Mick and Liam who always make us feel like family. Thanks guys, you're so amazing ☺️ Definitely recommended 👌

We hosted our late mother's funeral wake here on Friday afternoon. We were a large party of over 70 guests, but the staff were really good, efficient and friendly. The buffet was excellent with plenty of good high quality food.

Came to the Royal George in Ipswich for my daughters birthday and the service we all received was truly wonderful. Annie the waitress went above and beyond and involved others in singing happy birthday with a birthday cake. Definitely deserves a big credit and mention. Thank you so much 😘 will definitely be back and will highly recommend this establishment

Just had a really lovely meal. Yes it was busy but we couldn't fault the service. Our waitress was great & as it was a birthday celebration, they were happy to present a cake & got other guests to join in singing. A great atmosphere, good food & decent prices.

Nice pub, service was quick and staff were friendly. Loved my starter, chicken taco, was nice. Lots of food with the main, I struggled to finish it all but was able to take it away in box which was good. Would recommend :)

Took my 3 children to grab some dinner after school, great food and atmosphere, Glad to see Ian there, great manager for a great pub! 5*

A great place for quick dining with ok food at reasonable prices.

Really nice atmosphere great staff and great service. Got seated fast and drinks and food came out quick and really hot. Definitely coming back again for more of the challenges.

We have just had a lovely meal today at the George, the staff were amazing, friendly, attentive and gave great service at our table. The atmosphere was lovely and we felt it is a lovely place to eat, good food and plenty to chose from and great prices too! Special mention to the staff! They are a credit to the Royal George

Great pub. The waitress Annie was very very good, very tentative! She was able to change the food we wanted to suit our needs ! Checked in on us regularly! Great atmosphere, great food, great staff

Lunch with my dad food and staff were excellent will be back next week

Came in for lunch food was great and staff were very friendly

Came in for lunch with my son food and staff were great

Great for a quick reasonable priced meal .

Really nice family atmosphere for a birthday lunch. Served by the lovely kaci. Double thumbs up!!!

Service was amazing. Nathan made us feel welcome as well as Mark and Annie who as a whole made a great team.

Front of house service good. Prompt delivery of drinks and food. The food was really good, excellent value. Hannah, was very helpful making us feel welcome. Will be returning soon. Thank you.

Service was great Hannah was attentive and really looked after our party she is an asset to your company great work

Service was very good Hannah was amazing

A midweek early evening meal was great - fast and friendly service from Hannah, who I was pleased to see is still working there.

Great place for a meal out. Thanks Michael Annie and Ian for the good customer service

Amazing customer service from Michael Annie and Ian. Would highly recommend

Steaks were beautifully cooked just the way we asked for them. The service as excellent but not intrusive. The atmosphere was upbeat but not hurried. A great place to eat at sensible prices

Great service from Michael, Annie and Ian. Lovely food

Came in Saturday early afternoon for some lunch with my dad, was served by Ian who was really friendly and polite. Food was great as usual, both got burgers which were good portion size and really tasty! Takes blue light as well which is nice. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Went here for a friends birthday party and was very happy. Big thankyou to Michael, Annie, and Ian for ensuring the night ran smoothly. Highly recommend

We went as a family of 5 and one was a baby , more than enough room for the pram and very friendly staff and accommodating. Food was lovely and hot / fresh and good price and Hannah are waitress was excellent, always making sure are food was ok and servied hot . 10/10 and would definitely be going again .

I come here every Monday with my family and occasionally with friends. The staff are always friendly and they remember my sons order of cappuccinos and no cheese in his burger. We were served by Hannah today, she's always lovely, working hard and nothings too much trouble.

This is a lovely bio. Friendly staff, good menu choices, excellent service. Hannah serves us today. Service was quick and Hannah was as always, excellent. I would definitely recommend The Royal George.

I'm not a local but visit Royal George every time I come to see my dad. Friendly environment, food good and price pretty competitive. They also serve my favourite zero alchohol sparkling wine/prosecco!

Great experience and high quality food, server Nathan dealt with me and my better half very efficiently and satisfactory. Shall be returning soon for another tipple!

Lovely staff, especially that Nathan fella. Top chap.

Just had a lovely Ribeye steak that was cooked to perfection, thanks to the servers recommendation, thanks to the chef too. Brilliant staff that are happy, cheerful and willing to go beyond. Will definitely visit again and recommend to my friends. Huge well done and thank you 😊

I went with my family for a birthday meal and overall the food was great! we’ve always been coming here over the years! we noticed some issues on the bill so we spoke to a lovely lady called Annie who dealt with the situation amazingly, she is such a lovely lady and very professional we was glad she was our waitress for the evening

Lovely food friendly staff great prices

Excellent service and food. Very baby friendly. Great place. Mick and Annie were brilliant and the manager Ian.

Had a nice little pub lunch. Friendly helpful staff, good food, nice atmosphere and was wheelchair accessible. Will visit again soon

Great food ,nice and hot, service was prompt and the staff are brilliant

Managed to fit us in despite not booking (12 of us) after 8pm for a really lovely meal. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the food was delicious

Worst service i have witnessed. pre ordered food weeks ago as advised by Royal George only to be told on the day that they haven't got 90 percent of the food we preordered left. Management was abrupt , unhelpful and bad mannered. Avoid at all costs

Lovely place, tasty food, friendly staff good price. 👍👍👍👌

Lovely beer garden at the back of the pub

We used to really love the Royal George but it is now under new management and well what a shame! The menu has changed and all the usual staff were no where to be seen which was a clear indicator of new management which was later confirmed by our waitress. Obviously we had reasonably high expectations as only ever had positive experiences at this restaurant but after todays meal we shall not be back in a hurry! I ordered a 8oz Gammon skillet which should have come on a skillet of fried onions. Unfortunately despite this being the description of the meal I received a regular gammon steak which was burnt. Burgers looked nothing like the picture on the menu. Presentation and portion sizes were disappointing. All in all a real shame as there isn’t many good places to eat in Ipswich anymore.

I've been to the George several times and it's been good. Went this Sunday for a roast. Really disappointed. The roast spuds were burnt. The mash was powder and hadnt been mixed properly. Three of us didn't eat even half of it. It was a shame

Once again absolutely first class for the fabulous team, we took 22 people for a lunchtime meal and all could not fault anything thank you

Service was great! Even if us overly energetic customera were maybe not so great. Thanks for putting up with us 🫠

Found my food very unappetising,I asked for a salad ..to be told they don’t do it ..but pretty standard stuff guys a salad …my chicken wings were over cooked &dry ..so I’ll not be eating there again in a hurry ..

Was lovely food and Mike was helpful and kind and loved talking to him.

One of my favourite places when coming back to my home town, Food is wonderful, service is fantastic and value for money is great.

Lovely experience and the food was lovely.

Great service today, working well during this hot weather.

Shocking service, dreadful food, portion sizes small and dry. Rude staff with no people skills, seriously under staffed on a Friday night, school holidays and 30c surely a little thought would have been put in to the staffing! Seriously hot pub with no air conditioning or windows that open. When I complained no apology or offer to resolve the issue. No clearing of tables or checking how our food was and the pub clearly cannot cater for large parties.

Great place for a quick bite and an unbeatable price.

Excellent service, food hot,well presented, very tasty.

Went for a drink a couple Saturdays ago around 2pm. Tables were dirty and sticky and had food all over them, decor was tired, bathroom was grubby. General feeling of neglect and it's sad to see as this used to be a family favourite of ours, going back as far as 25 years ago.

Lovely time, great food and amazing waitresses

Ordered my steak rare with no tomato. It arrived a charitable medium well with tomato. Simple tasks done badly result in the score provided. To add insult to injury the signs proudly displaying their commitment to the forces, veterans and blue light workers by providing 20% off wasn't quite so proud to mention "oh today is a bank holiday, pay full price". Very poor all round except for the service. Edit:Repeat visit yielded a correctly cooked steak but no cheese on a cheeseburger. Service again lovely, but lack of attention by the kitchen seems inescapable.

Great session there today watching football lovely to see Ian there and Mark joining him soon

The XL mixed grill was great (the chicken was cooked much better than last time) and the biscoff cheese cake is good as well. They also offer 15% bluelight discount so that's an extra bonus

Went for some lunch today, Asked for table service and our server was unbelievably rude! No manners, acted like he didnt want to be there! Our food was burnt and tacky. My partner ordered a steak and it was inedible, tasted like charcoal and the texture was like a leather boot. Mac and cheese was runny and wet, tasted like it was made from packets. Wont be eating here again. However the lady at the bar was super sweet and polite! :)

Mick behind the bar was super friendly, great fun for pool, darts and watching the footy.

Food was lovely, had wait for little while but is a lovely place unfortunately was quiet on last visit but everyone friendly

fair play great place to watch the football and the team leader is really friendly unreal guy very chatty aswell what an establishment

Very welcoming, Staff very polite and a very good showing to watch the football.

Lovely food and good service provided by Ian the new manager. Very friendly and fun.

Friendly, helpful staff Good food

Turned up on door they had a table friendly staff very nice food good value highly recommended

Myself and family came out for early fathers day dinner food and service was second to none especially mick Leighton went above and beyond to help take family photos highly recommended to everyone

Had a great Sunday dinner here. Lots of choice on the menu. Staff were very accommodating as I was being awkward and wanted a better table than the one initially offered to us. I also didn't want my cake warmed and they were happy to oblige. Will definitely come again.

Lovely staff, reasonably priced food and lots of options.

I had an amazing at the Royal George, best thing about that was that customer experience from Elise she has one of the best customers services I've seen in a while. so 5 stars for her

Traditional pub food, good service with friendly staff. Good value prices with consistent service. I0 would recommend a visit.

Amazing customer service from Elsie she is a young woman with a warm smile that immediately puts guests at ease. She has neatly styled hair, usually tied back in a bun, and wears a crisp, clean uniform that highlights her professionalism. She made sure that everything on our table was correct and always made sure that me and my team were having an amazing time and experience.

Very helpful friendly staff. Micheal went over and above to support us.
