The Beagle in Ipswich

Everything was satisfactory. Food and staff were lovely

As a party of 21, we weren't expecting such friendly, personal service. Kerry was very attentive. Nothing was too much trouble for her. The food was excellent and we were given all the time we needed and never felt rushed. Highly recommend this place.

Tom was amazing, looked after us very well. Nothing was to much.

Been looking fo a decent Sunday Roast around Ipswich, today we found one 😋 Lovely traditional pub with roaring fires and good staff. Food was great, complements to the chef.

All 6 of us had a great time and the service was great. The food was very good and our waitress Tab. was very cheerful and entertaining. Would recommend to anyone wanting good food and service with a smile. 😃

Lovely meal , and service , great pub , Thanks Brian ( Bruce) good laugh 😆

We were a big group, celebrating our works Christmas do. The food was fantastic and the service was fast and efficient. The place was really busy too! Fantastic.

Atmosphere was lovely. Most of the food and drink was nice, pork belly, lasagne and fish and chips were delicious. Pate was nice but i think overpriced. Starter of squid was served barely warm so was sent back and a piping hot one was thankfully served. The desserts were a hit and the cherry bakewell slice was incredible. The chai latte was hideous, like diabolicall!!!! it tasted like slightly warm milk with Cinnamon, absolutely terrible. The chairs are so uncomfortable too and the service was quite slow, we were there for 4.5 hours. However overall it was nice, we paid £40pp so for me it was a treat.

We visited today for lunch and the food was lovely. Service was excellent, but Tab needs a special mention. She has been our waitress several times now, every time she has been so friendly and lovely, and is a credit to the restaurant.

This was the first time I've ever been, I went with a group and it was lovely. I am a huge cheesecake fan and as soon as I saw it on the menu, I just knew the meal would be good. I wasn't disappointed. The waitress was friendly, funny and very professional. Highly recommend the Turkey.

Nice place to eat. Good Atmosphere excellent food.

Lovely cosy place with good food and service.

Great Xmas lunch. Tab was her usual happy, joyful self. Nothing was too much trouble. The pub was busy but she made everyone feel so comfortable and important.

More than an hour to wait for food. Fish which was more battered card board & cold fries. £30 for a Christmas menu where veg is an extra. Although we did receive help on the bill, I can't see any of us rushing back

Took ages to be served, albeit it was busy, and the food wasn't that good when it arrived.

A lovely venue. Both food and service were excellent.

Our food was really good. Our Waitress Tab was brilliant,she was pleasent and had a great sense of humor. She was also very friendly. Me and my 3friends visit quite often and have never had a bad experience.

My partner and I had a lovely meal at the Beagle, The food was very tasty and the waitress (Kirsty) was very helpful and professional and went the extra mile in regards to great customer service. We had ample time in-between courses to relax and chat and would totally recommend to others and will certainly be back.

Kirsty was amazing, very attentive and professional

Really great friendly pub and staff with a great choice of food.

Our server tab was extraordinarily and went above and beyond for us to make sure everything was smooth and made us all feel comfortable and we will be back.

The service and food was amazing, especially the waitress; Tab put a smile on our faces and has made sure we are gonna be back to see the smile on her face again.

The service was amazing and Tab made us all feel welcome and made sure that everything went smooth as it could be even when busy, we will be back to see her smile again.

I live in Northern Ireland and when I’m over here my favourite place is the Beagle. We where there today for lunch we where booked in for 12/30 the place looked lovely for Christmas food was up there as usual BUT for me it was the Awesome TAB that made are day extra good Great Craic you are VERY Lucky to have her as part of your team 🍷Tab 🫶🫶

Went for a group booking (15 people) for our pre wedding family dinner. Obviously a fairly high stakes booking for me and the communication from the manager in the lead up was good. They placed us in a nice area with room to put some decorations up (we had requested this in advance). Food was nice, and recently priced. It would be better to have more choice on their celebration menu (some of my guests pointed out it wasn't very celebratory). Service on the night was very mixed. We had a lot of confusion with handing out the food (we had given our choices in advance) and I think it could have been more professional. They also could have been a bit more attentive at coming round for drinks orders etc, we had to go up to the bar. The worst part was when a waitress tried handing food across the table (instead of just walking around!) and tipped a plate of food across someone! Gravy and chips all over the floor and her clothes. I appreciate accidents will happen, but the lack of apology was odd. I'll come here again for dinner or lunch, but I don't think I'll plan another event here unfortunately.

Last minute Sunday roast, was lovely and great service

My Waitress Kay was friendly, thorough and prompt. The Accessibility for disabled people on arrival was also excellent. But the food alone was to die for. Thank you for a most pleasant afternoon.

Helpful friendly staff and nice food better than I was expecting = Happy Customer.

Had lovely bar snacks and warm up in front of the fire. Lovely place.

Great service from Tab! Friendly couldn’t do enough for us thank you! Advocado salad could do with a dressing to be served with it found it very dry but every other time I’ve come door has been amazing!

Ruth the new waitress here , went above and beyond to help me order a roast with gluten - free and lactose intolerance,the original bald headed man with the light coloured shirt on was,,, very un -helpful & just left me on my own to use the un- helpful tablet ! I am recently diagnosed so felt really embarrassed, but Ruth was caring , had great empathy and even asked the chef if he could do a G/F gravy xx bless her so x she made my dinner experience wonderful x x

The service from Tab was amazing! What a lovely lady. The pub looks lovely and Xmassy and feels cosy. The food is always lovely too.

Stopped on way past spur of the moment. Beautiful pub with delicious food. Our waitress was Tab and she was an absolute joy. She was attentive and friendly and was working her socks off. We will definitely return when in the area. Well done Tab x

We were looked after by Kirsty M and ensured that we were looked after and answered any questions we had. The food was lovely and the service was excellent. The Beagle has a few real fires and it had a real homely feel that many other establishments don’t have. Please don’t lose it! Thank you for a great evening and we’ll see you again soon!

Food were good a bit pricey but good atmosphere

2nd time going in case first was just a bad day, nope terrible, only the chips were hot nothing else, won't be back,

We met our friends and had a lovely lunch served by the lovely Kay 😋😋😋 We will be back

Izzy and her colleague was running a busy restaurant which would have normally took more than two. Credit to your company, make sure they’re looked after. Great evening.

Great service, very polite, the Lasagne was excellent, totally recommend 👌

Thanks to Izzy for a very enjoyable evening. Although she and the barman were running the bar and restaurant by themselves they made it a very smooth service 👌

A very pleasant place to eat - good, pleasant service - thank you Izzy

Excellent food two visits running, lovely service from Kirsty and Scott.

Fabulous food, so good 1st night, had to return for 2nd night during our stay in Ipswich . Meat pie and mash 1st night, mini pud and tea for afters. 2nd night steak, fabulous, cooked to perfection. Great customer service from Waitress Kerry. Lovely busy pub, nice decor, great atmosphere, book a table it's very popular

Excellent service throughout and the food was fantastic, had a scotch egg while we waited and was perfect 👌🏼 both had the beef brisket sandwich with the beef dripping sauce which was divine, also had some of the onion rings again cooked to perfection, would definitely recommend anyone for a quick stop for lunch.

Lovely evening at the beagle with Pam the was excellent and served by the lovely Kerry

Wonderful meal and great service.

Best service, best atmosphere and a great place to spend an afternoon

Great atmosphere and friendly staff, my favourite pub in Ipswich for a drink on Friday.

Lovely venue, really nice choice of meals at a fair price. Our waitress Kay was exceptional, made you feel at home straight away, great sense of humour and clearly knew her job inside out. Meals arrived quickly, good sized portions, compliments to the chef too.

Just visited again today, with an friend who isn't local. Sometimes i think i overlook the Beagle because i am local. So credit where it's due, the food was delicious and i thoroughly recommend the fishcakes and sticky toffee pudding (need a little sleep now). But the awesome service (along beautiful smiles and good banter) we received from our waitress Tab, made it an even more enjoyable lunch and catch up. Additionally top marks awarded for checking everything was OK with my allergy. Thanks again I'll definitely be back again soon.

Incredible food and a really lovely warm welcome and consistent service from Kirsty. Highly recommended!!

On Arrival we were met by a gentleman behind the bar who looked at us like we were an inconvenience to him pouring his drinks order, which was not a good start to having a meal in your restaurant . When we asked if we could have a table we were told in no uncertain terms go to the hostess counter and they will sort one for you, all of the time we were there he wandered round with a dirty rag hanging out of his pocket with a face like to wet weekend in June. Once we were taken to our table Kirsty took our order and was extremely pleasant, welcoming, attentive and was extremely polite and efficient and the service she supplied was exceptional, a true asset to your business. I have to say if the first face you meet is so miserable it spoils everyone’s evening so would suggest a change to your front of house which would actually make your place more inviting and warm.

Our server (Kirsty) was absolutely lovely and brilliant food! Can’t recommend enough 🫶

Tab was superb waitress, very cheerful & funny. Food was great too!

Really lovely service from Tab. The food was very nice.

Last night we wanted to go for a meal somewhere close to home. We chose to come here and it did not disappoint! It was very busy for a Sunday and staff doing their absolute best. Had a 30 min wait on food between each course but didn’t bother us. We had a two course meal, starters were amazing we got the oven baked mushrooms and sticky chicken. Delicious and hot! Then the mains came out… the roast pork did NOT disappoint, the whole plate was packed full of flavour, honey roasted carrots and parsnips and the cauliflower cheese was an amazing side dish! And I must say it was an amazing portion size. My partner got a burger and he was also very pleased with his too, a decent amount of fries, a couple of onion rings. I wish I had room for dessert! Would go back again 100%.

Fantastic meal and service by Kirsty M. Never disappointed. Lovely atmosphere and brilliant service

Food was perfect. Lots to choose from on the menu. Reasonable prices. Lovely atmosphere. Our waitress, (Tab) was the best waitress ever and brilliant with my little boy.

Lunch bar snacks very nice, and puddings lovely. Slight wait for food but obviously needing more staff.

Good food and served well by TAB.

Enjoyed our meal and drinks. Tab was our waitress and very friendly.

Very welcoming, great atmosphere, food delicious and our waitress called Tab was very friendly.

I love the Beagle for Sunday lunch. A meal with home cooked flavour, excellent Yorkshire so, parsnips and roast potatoes. I always ask for extra gravy.

Food took over an hour to arrive, when it did items were missing others were cold. When we told the waitress she was disinterested and refused to serve us. Was rectified by manager and the waiter we were then assigned was good but will not be going back.

I had a chicken burger without the bun but the chicken was rock hard and virtually impossible to cut so I left it. My friends had fish and the batter was burnt. A very poor meal and I wouldn't return

Lovely pub, cosy and warm! Friendly staff

Great experience. Loved the food and the service. Will be coming back ASAP!

Seated straight away Excellent service the food was first class, and cooked to my specification,and the staff were excellent ,literally yards to walk from Premier Inn virtually attached . Be careful when leaving the exit on B1113 ,they come around the roundabout to the left, and there is a blind spot, due to the bushes to the right, as the council won't cut them back same joint exit for the beagle and Premier Inn

Lovely atmosphere and helpful staff

Great place to eat, always a great atmosphere whether in the Bar or Restaurant

We visited here , just for drinks so we cannot comment on the restaurant or food. However from arrival at around 8.00pm to departure, not one of the staff showed a smile. From ordering drinks , at £40 , per round, x 3 , there was no pleasant smile , social chat, nothing. As someone else has previously mentioned its seems like an arduous task to be providing service. I've never worked behind a bar and can imagine times can be busy. But come on. Provide a smile to your customer's. After all, it costs nothing.

Well I have to say tabs was amazing! The service her attitude towards me jovial but professional made my visit amazing! We need more tabs in places like this! Thank you so much for looking after me today I had an amazing time! It's people like you that make it a true pleasure to go out and eat ! Well done you!! Truly amazing love Craig xx I'll be back very soon! ❤️

Enormous area to dine but nicely sectioned. The staff were amusing and friendly. The food good and served promptly.

Just drinks but friendly and comfortable! Dog friendly too 😍

Amazing service. Tab esp helpful and friendly.

Really nice pub and great service.

Will give anther go but last time was not up to standard hopefully they will keep it to par next time

Absolutely shocking. Booked a table for 17:00. Was told to wait at the bar and to grab ourselves a drink. We waited for a further 25 minutes with no response from staff. Dealing with an hungry stressed child, staff could see he was Distressed. Always thought highly of this place but will definitely not be returning.

We are not local but when we are down that we we always eat at the beagle, great food and Tab was a fantastic server a credit to the beagle

Had a lovely lunch meal. 2 courses & a drink only £23 each. Meal made all the more wonderful due to excellent service from Tabs......she even put a candle in my friend's dessert as it was her birthday, so thoughtful :)

Food was very good, although brocoli was very hard but when this was pointed out they fixed it immediately. Excellent service and nice to find some alcohol free options.

Lovely pub and helpful polite staff will revisit

Great service by Tab and delicious food. Beautiful pub with a great atmosphere with the fire on, on a chilly October

Was served by TAB, she is an amazing waitress and made our experience 10 x better. Very knowledgeable about the food, extremely helpful and was very understanding! 10/10 would recommend and will most definitely be returning.

semi frequent flyer here however the service tonight was terrible. i understand if there is a delay with food however the waitresses were extremely unapologetic and quite frankly rude. as i said previously a delay with food is one thing, but watching the tables around us who sat after us receive starters AND mains before we had even received our starters was irritating and then being told it was the soup that they were waiting for. Soup! an hour! The food was ok, some aspects could have been hotter but it was the terrible service from rude staff tonight that let the restaurant down!

Food was amazing.. prices was very fair. Waitress Tab was really funny and very welcoming..

Tab was amazing and attentive, food beautiful and atmosphere was great thank you

Tab made you feel really welcome and the food was delicious

I met a friend for lunch today. Great service from our very helpful and friendly waitress Tab.

Tabs was great made our me full of laughs while we dine

We went as a party of 4 and I must say the meal was fantastic the service was good couldn't fault it

Got the specials, and it was beautiful! The starters everything was just great

A very enjoyable meal, restaurant was not over busy and the service was good. Our waitress Tab added to the atmosphere

Very good pizza. Enthusiastic attentive staff.

Tab is awesome !! Wonderful service !

Always friendly service and good food. Love the pizza!

Really good helpful and friendly service, matched with good food

The car park was very full, so struggled to a space. All staff were helpful and friendly. The table, atmosphere and food were all excellent. We moved to the bar area after eating, which was comfortable and relaxing.

We were staying in the nearby Dog friendly Holiday Inn and wanted a local Dog friendly pub.. . The Beagle was nearby and so off we went. We wanted to walk with the dog but couldn't as there was no footpath and had to book a taxi.. . Which was a shame. The bar area is a cosy relaxing area and very Dog friendly with water and snack area. We decided on the comfy leather sofas as our dog loves a sofa. We chose a few starters and lamb and steak for main.. . The Food was great and the staff were friendly. A great overall experience

Great food, great service with a smile and humour. Really enjoyed it here.
