The Royal Oak in Ipswich

Poor quality I got a chicken burger and the bun tasted so cheap and the chicken burger was so small and tuff felt almost like chewing plastic at some parts. My mum got fish and chips weren't that great the batter was soggy and the atmosphere was dead. Things where just bad won’t be going again missed the old staff who made it fun and lively plus they mixed up order week before I asked for no sauce in burger they thought I asked for apple sauce plus my mum never got her piece of cake and she asked for a cup of tea got a pot of tea very disappointed 😞

Food is great at a really great value. The coffee is great also! Would just like more options on the zero sugar drinks 🙂 Today was the 3rd time iv been and enjoyed the food and coffee all 3 times, the staff are very friendly also.

What a treat! Friendly and attentive staff, delicious food and gorgeous coffee. Will be returning for lunch soon! Glad we came.

A fantastic place for a filling lunch for all the family at a great price! The food was really good and the service was excellent. There is a playroom for young children which makes this place great for families. We will definitely be back!

Been here now 3 times and absolutely 💯 every time . Very lovely people who work in there Manager very nice always making sure everything is ok and my furbabies had a treats too 🐶 Would highly recommend giving this place a go as you won’t be disappointed 😊 Frappes are lush too 😋

The cafe is lovely. The breakfast was delicious, very reasonably priced and good quality food. Dylan is very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back!

This cafe is a little gem hiding in plain sight in an old pub. The selection of food is very extensive and almost deceptively cheap but still of great quality. But that's on purpose as a charity backed offering that does great things for those down on their luck or in need of a helping hand. Staff were all so friendly and charming too! Highly recommended!

Such a lovely place! We came back here after 50years, and we found out that they converted the old pub into a lovely a super cute coffee house. The staff is very friendly and very welcoming…we are glad to be back here and the very warm welcome made our day!

This is our 3rd trip to the Royal oak first was for lunch absolutely delicious food chicken schnitzel was amazing ,then last Sunday tried the roast dinner again delicious bottomless roasties too 😋 and today breakfast just topped it off !! Great food great prices and service provided Dylan and his team is best in Ipswich. Also charity run which makes it all the more worthwhile

Great value for money excellent service from friendly and welcoming staff. Will definitely visit again very soon to try more food from the menu.

Absolutely delicious lunch We had Eggs Benedict, and cheese on toast which were both perfect. Very friendly service and lovely atmosphere

Me and my mum come here nearly every Saturday some times with our dog. The staff always so kind and the food is always fresh it really is to die for, My favourite part is the hot chocolate since you can get a second refill of it as well there is one staff member he’s always remember me and my mum he makes our day The food and drinks are value for money

Lovely food, lovely staff, lovely place. 100% recommend. Very welcoming and had a great burger. All for a good cause to boot, helping the homeless. A+++++

Lovely chilled atmosphere. Ordered a Special of the day and it was lovely. Would recommend and shall eat here again. x A++++++

The food here is delicious, very well presented and almost unbelievably cheap. This, together with exceptionally friendly and obliging staff make the Royal Oak an ideal place for lunch

Wow absolutely a find, the food and atmosphere are on point. I would hight recommend this place. I definitely will be going again as new specials each week.

We stopped off for brunch & had eggs benedict & a pot of tea. Decent tea & really good eggs benedict (good sized portions too). The Royal Oak is no longer a pub & these days is run by the Emmaus charity. It has a nice community feel & children are well catered for. Prices are extremely reasonable, the quality of food is excellent & the staff (volunteers I believe) are really friendly. We'll definitely be popping in again. In case it matters to you, there aren't separate male/female toilets

Absolutely love it here and I can’t recommend the food and service highly enough, incredible value for money and a great choice of dishes.

Great place for coffee and cake or lunch. Frankly the Eggs Benedict I had was restaurant standard at a very reasonable price. Absolutely brilliant place with friendly staff, definitely will go again

I have been attending the Wednesday kids and carers group since my 16 month old Son Oakley was 3 weeks old. Such a supportive, happy and warm space. The food is absolutely amazing and such good value. The Oak go above and beyond to ensure all the parents and children are happy and looked after providing us not only a lovely safe area full of toys for our children to play but a lovely hot cup of tea to enjoy. Attending the Oak on a weekly basis is the highlight of our week.

I had the one pot Wonder. It was very good and most enjoyable Cheese and Tomato Tarte Tatin and for £3.50 it was a bargain. Very friendly cafe /shop a must to try if you are in the area. John.

Great takeaway business buffet on platters! Thank you so much for providing sandwiches, salad and a fruit platter for our team working in the neighbourhood. Fresh sandwiches, generously filled and lovely fresh fruit

Me and my son have been coming here for over a year now and it's always such a great experience. The food is always great and the staff are amazing and always made to feel welcome, always greeted with smiles and happiness.

A nice place to stop and have a coffee . A worthy cause supporting the community. Nice coffee and lovely homemade sausage roll

A neat and clean dining place with friendly staff. Enjoyed breaded whitebaits with homemade tartare source and a salad with the pan fried prawn. The prawn smells tasty and the tartare source serves impressively for the breaded whitebaits. Today's experience echoed my last one with a juicy tender rump steak here. The place is definitely another gem in Ipswich I found.

Had 2.50 one pot wonder today a chicken shawarma wrap, plus cake coffee and excellant service and it came to £13.00 for two people. I can highly recommend this place as I come here regularly and have always had good food.

I honestly haven't stopped raving about The Royal Oak since I went for Emmaus Suffolk's supper club in April. For only £25 a ticket, which goes to the charity's homelessness work in the county, you get a full menu of simply amazing food. Each dish...

As a local I've been coming here quite a few times so know what you need to know...Excellent food, excellent staff. Good priced meals with an option to " can't see what your looking for? Ask our friendly team! " This Place is all hand...

Always delicious and imaginative food here in a pleasant, relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Also, it's insanely cheap, especially if you go for the one pot wonders, which are consistently excellent. The coffee and service are also very good.

We've eaten here several times since the café opened. The food is excellent, the staff are great & the fact that it's all for a good cause makes it even better. The one pot wonder deal is amazing - £2.50 for a fresh cooked meal...

Huge congratulations to Colton and his team! A fabulous night with delicious food and beautiful setting. The beef short rib was delicious, as was the lemon and lime cheesecake. Great to know that Emmaus Suffolk benefits every time I eat here. I'll be back!

We had a charity quiz here with work and it was an excellent atmosphere with excellent food. It's really a little gem in East Ipswich. A quirky little shop and great cafe. Prices are very reasonable and seems like a good place to spend time...

Supper Night - Excellent quality food, great effort by both the chef & waiting staff. A charity run venture ‘Emmaus Suffolk’ - great value for money, plenty to eat - certainly a place to revisit either on a supper night or during the day.
