The Cock & Pye in Ipswich

Great pub for all needs, was here for the Liverpool v Manchester United game on the 7th of April, great drinks, great food, great atmosphere and staff are lovely, personally was served my Monica at the bar, great customer service and all round good vibes.

Recently popped in before the Ipswich /Southampton game. On match days its an Ipswich fans only pub. First time I had been in for years and the pub had a lovely vibe. We easily purchased drinks and food which was quickly delivered to our table . Just a short walk away from the ground it’s an ideal stop off.

We visited the Cock&Pye on a Saturday night and it was very busy mainly with youngsters but never any trouble.We decided not to have food here as it was to busy to relax.

We had a lovely afternoon at the Cock and Pye. Friendly staff and excellent service. I would highly recommend this pub in the centre of Ipswich.

Great place to drink with friends. Decent atmosphere. Served by Cherrelle who was professional and a good laugh. Music is great as well.

Great food, good selection of drinks, friendly staff (lynn and Monica) Good arrange of sports on tv , billy the chef is amazing 10/10

It was good and friendly and a warm welcome

Great food very helpful staff Katie was our table waiter and was very helpful and friendly I would recommend this pub very highly

The staff are really friendly. Jelly shots are banging. Cherrelle was really nice and friendly. They have a good range of ciders such as old mout, rekorderlig and a wide range of beers.

The food was not very good I had the bbq chicken and the chips were over done the onion rings were just batter and over done and a very little portion the chicken was in a terrible bbq and onion sauce it was more like a bbq and onion relish rather than a sauce and three little tomatoes on the side that felt like they had nothing to do with the main course itself very underwhelmed with the food.

The Cock and Pye is a great pub, never silly busy early evening but is relaxed atmosphere , great pub pre -Regent gig, lovely food served quickly and a good range of beers. Great and friendly, very welcoming and helpful staff team.Had the Mix & Share Pub Plate, one dish unavailable however serendipitous as the alternative was wonderful. Try the pretzel and beer cheese dip and thank me later! Recommended, they are not doing Sunday lunches at the moment, but have the Greene King Hazy Day beer on trial and only 1 of 40 pubs to do so, very nice if you like a Blue Moon, definitely worth a visit.

My friend got the police called on them for acting weird when he is autistic, when he is literally just having a good time. Everyone in our group is neurodivergent, I thought we’d be safe there but apparently not.

Great beer, footie on big screen, service top drawer…staff know their products and the customer always comes first…what’s not to love!!

The staff, Monica, was extremely welcoming and helpful, gave superb recommendations on the menu choices. The food was perfect, well prepared and delicious. I'd definitely recommend a visit to the Cock and Pye.

This is superb venue in the centre of Ipswich, we enjoyed our lunch with good food, nice wine and a pint of IPA perfect!! The staff are wonderful Alex,Katie and Ben make us elderly customers so welcoming it’s a pleasurable experience.

Good morning we going to lunch at 12pm with Maria myself Chantelle and Rosie see you later

an elderly waitress very suspicious and very bored by the situation

One of the best pubs in town. One of the original places to be at. Great service, food - pub grub. Chilled daytime atmosphere and weekend nights get lively. Recommended

As we walked in I got a strong smell of urine Staff were really friendly and attentive The pool table was to close to the wall to be able to play a decent game We did not have a meal so can't comment on the food And then I see the chairs as in picture I wounder if this is where the urine smell was coming from Nearly all the chairs where like this

Great venue to chill or party, varied menu, pool Table, beer garden and DJs at the weekend. Friendly staff and varied selection of craft and popular beers.

This is a great bar. The staff are awesome. They were super attentive and also had great customer service skills. the atmosphere is welcoming and the food is pretty decent. All in all well worth a visit

One of the best bars in Ipswich. Always has a welcoming atmosphere, the staff are amazing and the food is really good.

Great pub in the town centre of Ipswich. Serves delicious food, sports shown (also have a big screen) and DJ entertainment at over the weekends! Team are always friendly and provide a fast and efficient service. 5*'s all round!

I popped in there on Sunday, which I don't normally do, but I'm a bit of a sucker for a nice ale and pretty much every time I go in there the barman JJ recommends an ale he think I might like, and he'd told me about Hazy Daze being on ... It was a nice day and I like the beer garden. So I had to pop in and have one. It was spot on, and whilst I was enjoying that one of the kitchen staff, Christian was on break and was telling me about the food menu.. I was almost tempted by the food but I'd eaten already. But I might pop back for some food at some point because he was speaking highly of it. I'm reasonably regularly in there but all the staff make me feel welcome and it's a homely place when it's quiet and a dancy party vibe when it's DJ / music time. And it's slap bang in town so it's a decent location.

I come in here a lot recently after walking past it countless times, it’s a great spot that can easily be missed due to the location but seriously worth going in. I go during the day when it’s more of a restaurant/pub feel, but I know in the late evening it is quite lively with more of a bar/club vibe especially on weekends. It’s a Greene king pub and the menu isn’t massive but it’s got a lot of good dishes on offer. I go for the small plates as it’s great value and the options are expansive. The staff are always lovely, all seem to know very well their craft. Atmosphere is usually chilled unless it’s game day, the decor is very chic and nice for a pub!

Booked for my 60th birthday party of 12 this pub had been recommend. I certainly wouldn't recommend nearly everything we ordered from the menu wasn't available. They blamed it on the cricketers being shut. Funny we'd been there earlier. When we eventually found something on the menu they had they couldn't even get that right. Bit embarrassing really for my party of friends.

Contracted security are bullies, willing to assault people for peacefully standing their ground.

Had the lunchtime meal deal. Food was fantastic. Would definitely go there again

Great visit to the Cock and Pye, food was delicious, hot and decent size portions at reasonable prices. Great atmosphere with friendly service. Highly recommend a visit!

Chilled vibes, great service, hearty pub food. Pool table

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff.

Amazing friendly service from jj and great food from the chef Christian . Will be going back for more food soon !

We have visted this pub before, it is a fine no frills kind of place. The food we had was okay, as were the dtinks. Service okay also.

Lovely food and very good service

Fantastic cheese and bacon toastie fries cappuccino. Service excellent 👌 well done will be visiting more often thankyou 😊

Great bar staff recommend the full English breakfast quality was amazing great value for money here.

We went in with the dogs today, who we've been in before multiple times, only to be told they can't allow the dogs in. Very strange for this pub chain.

Staff really hard working and efficient. Food was poor, sorry. Over cooked steak, sliced up and shriveled when served covered in pesto. I don't mind pesto but you should ask what sauce people want on steak. Wilted salad. Fries were gorgeous. We'd pre booked but not been told pudding stopped being served at a certain time so alot of is left a bit hungry still. Everyone else in my party had a burger that they loved though. Drinks reasonably priced.

Booked a table for a family Christmas meal on 20/12, at 17.45 pm , we booked it a week ahead, had several emails before the night , confirming the booking , so we were all looking forward to a nice meal and drink for Christmas. Arrived at the Cock and Pye only to be told , After we had ordered and paid for our drinks that the kitchen had closed early. When we pointed out we had heard nothing, we were informed that the contact details they had were no good , even though we had already had 2 confirmation emails from the pub . When we pointed this out all we got was a shrug of the shoulders , not even an apology or explanation why the kitchen had closed early. Terrible customer service and we will not be going to this place again.

Very good breakfast & efficient service

Great atmosphere.Very clean and cosy inside. Good food.Friendly staff.

Food was delicious as it always is when we eat here. The lady and gentleman serving were so friendly and polite. Lovely wine too.

It is a shame I cannot give less stars. Great service at the bar and when I first came in. However all went sour when my food was brought out by a miserable lady with frizzy hair and glasses. I had asked for food to come as starters and then main. She brought them both together and I said one was meant to be a starter. She said oh, well, nothing I can do about it now, not going to cook you a fresh one… so ended up having to eat both together.. main course ended up cold and had to leave some. I get mistakes happen, but her attitude stunk… (also she needs to learn that people can hear what you mutter under your breath)

Very friendly environment good food and welcoming

Always pop in for a beer and a burger on Matchdays, great atmoshphere. Weekend DJ nights are brilliant 🙌🏼🙌🏼🎉🎉

Visited and chose the Sunday roast ,the table we sat at was still dirty from the previous customer and we had to request it to be cleaned which seemed to be an effort and we noticed we were not the only table that had to ask this.The food was awful,potatoes were bruised and the veg looked a day old. The beef was like leather, and overall the food was barely hot. After eating a few mouthfuls, we decided to leave. Overall, I am very disappointed as the service and food are normally spot on. This has put me off from visiting again.

The food is excellent and at a very good price, staff are attentive. Waiting time is good, but can get really busy, they will give you an estimated time if you want. Disabled facilities, and it's very clean, table's cleaned all the time. Plenty of choice for beer and wine aswell.

Food is always been good & hot, the 3 of us had the scampi this time & cooked just how we like it. Staff are very friendly, so worth a visit if you are in the town centre

breakfast takes a lot of beating, staff very friendly,good location with excellent and prompt service

Me and my daughters always come here for dinner when in town. Fantastic children's menu. Great prices and staff are always friendly even in busy times. Best pub in town.

Prices are good beer taste nice and fresh I go there regularly and will continue

Nice busy pub. From lady's that lunch to football fans and work men.

Came for a group meal last night, and it will be the last, went to bar, and girl wouldn't fine the gin that was on the app.. when she did it was empty and had no more, ordered food, when it came out, the lady said "I don't know what this is?" Then came out with the other food, and we had left 5 of the dishes in the kitchen, as she thought our was the order over, I'd got to bar to get cutlery, and was told it's come out with the meal, when she came back (food has been out about 7-10 mins by then) and asked about the cutlery as food was getting cold, I was told, in busy and we only have 2 kitchen staff. ... sorry, if your bring food out, you need cutlery to eat while it hot. She can back and dumped on the table!! Not enough napkins or forks.....

Lovely pub amazing battered sausages. 😉

Popped in just before food stopped being served, but barman squeezed us in. Food was tasty and good value. Place was clean. Not very busy on a Sunday evening. Would go again.

Best pub in town I love it and the bar team great people

What a fab place great food and people we love coming here for drinks and food before the theatre can’t wait to come back for a visit soon

What can you say it's a pub not that friendly and the toilets were disgusting.

We only popped in for a drink have been in the evening before the food that came out looked delicious its a very nice gastro type pub

Great drinks and atmosphere, good for a game of pool. A wide selection of drinks. Unfortunately a small section of food, used to be much more extensive. I wish they'd add more. One of our favourite pubs tho.

The food was almost spot on, although the sourdough bread they gave me was stale. But everything else was very tasty especially for a greene king is up there!

Popped in for Sunday lunch yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed our meal, Great value for money too and very tasty I couldn't eat it all.

Nice pub, where we had some fish and chips to eat. The food was good and the bartender very helpful.

Rae and Jack are incredible servers, very kind and friendly atmosphere, amazing prices and in a good location too!

Friendly staff but the men’s toilets are a bit of a shock. No lavatory paper, vandalised and cover panels covered with very questionable stickers/content. Good selection of beer and wine, didn’t eat food on the visit. Would visit again.

Girls nights out. The Dj is a hit and miss as you ask for things and he just plays stuff to keep the young clientel happy not the over 40s

Burger was 10/10 delicious ... However as expected drinks were very pricey !

Great pub in a great location. Been here many times for drinks over the last ten years and have never had a bad experience just good people. Should probably try the food one day...

Here every 2 weeks for the last 10 years, good value for money always feel welcome

Barman knocked a pint of ale over and went all down my leg. No apology, no help to dry off my jeans, just thought it was funny.

Great place to meet. The steak pie is second to none! Great choice of drinks and really friendly staff. And right in the middle of town.

Slowest service ever ,Not even busy , hate to go there on a busy night, Their table service dreadful.

Haven't been here for quite some time. They gave revamped their booths which was lovely to see. Food was good. The staff were friend

Well worth a visit. Salmon fish cakes were lovely.

Great breakfast and excellent price. You won’t find a better breakfast for the price in Ipswich town centre. Service was excellent too. Recommend

Stopped for a couple of pints and can't fault the place. Staff are great, the beer is excellent and there's a decent atmosphere even though it was late afternoon

Quality service. Speckled Hen on Tap, loved it.

Always Helpful and Courteous Bar Staff.

Top class food really tasty but pity very little was available on the menu. If you like sport it looks like it is the pub for you.

The rudest I have ever had a member of staff in a pub ever!!!

Always polite with prompt service, great food, and excellent beer choice. Today I had Plum Porter, which was fruity and full bodied. They've changed their menu, some favourites gone, but some great new additions, especially the steak and kidney pie, with a gravy to die for. As always, we'll recommended.

Honest David's reviews Love this place, drinks are reasonable. Staff are friendly ( except the cook when it's clocking off time lol). Not too busy so you can get a drink without waiting too long. Pool table £1.50 (leans to the left bottom lol). But all good. All in all a good 5 ***** from me. We will be back

The vegan burger itself was fine, but the Vegan fries served with it are anemic pieces of microwaved cardboard that have never heard of potatoes, chips that yearn for death to end their shame. Wouldn't recommend this place for vegan food.

Fantastic food at good prices, the staff are so helpful & very friendly, was fabulous to have an afternoon lunch. Without any music blasting out,

Love it here such amazing pub and friendly staff

Nice atmosphere not overcrowded easy to find a table situated in the town centre. Food is okay but portions could be more generous.

Really good food,staff are very polite.

Great value lovely food friendly staff

Incredible atmosphere and customer service. Upon entering the Cock & Pye we were greeted by Katie who showed us to our seat with a grand smile, gave us the food and drink menu and left us to it. When it came to ordering we were...

Good food and service on a match day.

Dirty tables, a 40 minute wait for food, left when I was told most of the menu was unavailable. So. Whats the point in having a menu when you cant order half the dishes on it? Either serve food or not. Or, maybe have a sign up letting your customers know. Bad service.

amazing food well presented and very tasty

Lovely pub, really nice staff, great priced beer. I really enjoyed my quick visit.

One of the best pubs in Ipswich .lovely staff .food ok .

Great pub. Great atmosphere and excellent food.

Went in and it was quiet. 2 pints of Fosters was £8.60. Bit pricey. Food selection was pub grub. Reasonable prices. Service excellent but then no one else in the pub

Good selection of beers. Big screen TV,s Ideal for sports.

Quick service and wide range of beers and food

Really good pies and great service

Friendly attentive staff and food was absolutely amazing
