The redecorated pub is good, the sloopy way the staff dress matches there attitude. No wonder it's not achieving its potential.

I initially asked if there was take aways to which she said yes. Only for her to charge me full price without the peas or condiment for the chicken and chips. For anyone wanting to get take aways, they don’t have even a bag for it or do they have the plastic for condiments. Avoid if you don’t want to dine in

Arrived late at the Salutation. We were hoping to get a meal before a theatre visit but hadn't booked. Wilson who greeted us was really apologetic and honest that he had already got 45 minutes worth of orders ahead of us so there wouldn't be time for us to have a meal. We settled for a coffee and a bag of crisps. Wilson later brought us over a bar of chocolate each as an apology. How kind. I have to say the food looked lovely and the atmosphere excellent. We'll book next time!! Thank you.

The Salutation in the hiden jewel of Ipswich. From the outside you could easily walk by and not give a second look. Trust me when I say, you must pop inside this pub. The landlord is a chap named Wilson. He adds humour and a caring attitude to his customers, which he shows in abundance. I originate from the east end of London, Wilson, with his charm and caring attitude would fit in perfectly. The chef is an absolute diamond of a chef. She is like everyone's mum, the food is cooked from fresh, and it tastes amazing. The toilets are cleaned to a very high standard, in fact the pub itself is so welcoming and that's thanks to Wilson. Everyone that's looking for somewhere to eat and drink, visit Wilson, landlord of The Salutation pub.... Thankbyou Wilson. Have downloaded that playlist..... xxxx Gerry and Gilda

Why in prior to a show at the Regent Theatre. The pub was warm and welcoming, the bar staff friendly and helpful. The place itself was modern, clean and inviting. Popped back in after the show for a quick drink, was a shame it was so quiet, but again the service was very good.

Very disappointed with your scampi and chips meal. £13 for only 8 pcs scampi, not enough chips and a token gesture of peas. Total rip-off. Overpriced meal. Should be £10.50 max and served with 10 pcs scampi and more chips and peas. Catering chips and peas are super cheap and I felt ripped off and I won’t recommend you or return 😡

Not seen a idiot yet so fingers crossed I won't again. Could do with improving in some areas but as this situation has hit us it will hit them a bit too.

This place has been refurbished well, lots of people at 6pm, managed to grab the last table, so not sure if they take reservations as I had tried to book via email. Staff friendly and welcoming. Food was hot (given amount of orders going through the kitchen) tasty and filling and a perfect start to the evening with the show at the Regent to follow.

Saturday 24th September booked a table for 4 persons arrived 4.30 pre Theatre meal. Ordered some drinks at the bar and was asked to order food at the bar when we had decided. Went to order Scampi, Chicken Burger, Guinness and beef stew was told nothing available, our friend changed to beef burger, I asked for Fish and chips guess non available, was offered chili with rice and Chips! or Vegan dishes not much to pick from so asked for Ribeye steak to be told non left. I couldn't believe it the young lady asked someone else who said some steaks had been served so she checked and came back and said there were two left so I said you best be quick and and save one for me. Then to order more drinks I asked for a pint of Neck oil non available, I then asked for Aspall's cider non available so settled on a lager beer. when our food was served two ladies who arrived later and two more at another table were all served Beef and Guinness casserole. We couldn't believe it when we asked the bar staff why we were told the food list hadn't been updated. We were all disappointed the food we had was ok but not what we had hoped for. This was the first pub we had ever been in where there was a lack of beer and lack of food for a first time visit this was very poor and would not return again if we had just turned up on the off chance of food then I would have understood but not having booked a table a week before hand. Could not recommend .

Very pleasant environment for food and drink. Useful proximity to the Regent theatre. Reasonable range of food with emphasis on burgers and fish and well cooked and presented. Good range of lager beers though real ale less evident . Prices standard for food though beers and drinks a bit pricey I thought. Pint of IPA and a medium Pinot were £10.90 which is steep for local pubs. Friendly staff. Would visit again.

This place was a really nice find, a stone's throw away from the Ipswich Regent theatre. Staff friendly and efficient. They serve food all day - what we had was delicious - the spicy chicken burger in particular! There is a small terrace out the back which we really liked. Will definitely go back if we find ourselves in this area again.

This pub is under new ownership so decided to try it as the food was not good before. I saw all the menus on Facebook and was looking forward to my visit. Unfortunately, the menu was very reduced with only basic pub food available. The scamp and chips was cheap and edible but obviously not good quality fish. Would not recommend until full menu was available and would suggest checking first.

Went in here a few days ago with my daughter and grandson. The gentleman behind the bar was absolutely wonderful! There was music playing in the background. He asked my grandson (who is just 3) what he liked. My grandson's reply was power rangers. The lovely man then went away for a few seconds,and on came power rangers theme tune. What a legend 😁 He made a little 3 year old extremely happy! Lovely place, good homely feel to it. I will return, without a doubt.

Stopped off here for dinner before seeing OMD at the Ipswich Regent. they have a good selection of real ales and draught beers, plus good value pub grub - the menu is a little limited but it was all freshly cooked, home made and piping hot!We had garlic mushrooms and really good whitebait to start, followed by veggie lasagne with garlic bread and salad, plus scampi with peas and the best chips we've had in ages.It does get really busy so get there early for a table on a Saturday!The staff are really friendly too - a few more food options and it would get 5 stars, but you can't fault the service or quality of the food!

Was very tasty & of great portions.The food in general is very reasonable in price & of great quality.The pub itself was very clean & service was both friendly & efficient.We Will be returning for sure.
