The best restaurants in Holywells Ipswich East of England

Fantastic cafe in what was the Royal Oak, on the corner of Derby and Felixstowe Road. Good choice of food including vegan and vegetarian options. Great value, good portions. Friendly and efficient service. All in a good cause too.

For 40 years i have come here and the food and service are always excellent, the breakfast is very tasty too.

One of my favourite places to be. Very polite staff and the food is to die for.

The best Indian restaurant/bistro in Ipswich and the only one I set foot in. You know it's good authentic Indian cuisine when Indian's themselves eat there.

Nice food and very friendly staff

Great place for pre-match beers, with a number of large screens with various sports on offer. Offers on beers on match days for ITFC season ticket holders too.

very annoying..late, we had to go out and had to eat our meals in a hurry

Really great food, all full of flavour and fresh

Extremely rude on phone when I called up to ask about things on the menu, wanting to order. Didn't order and called up bay of Bengal whom were amazing with their customer service

Love treat to visit this restaurant- we will be back!

We went here for a someone’s leaving do. I’d never ever go again. There was a ‘buffet’ laid out for us and to be honest it was not the best, serving spoons would have also helped with the 8 bowls of nachos with rock hard cold melted cheese on them. It seemed to be run by a group of teenagers who spent most of their time behind the bar messing about with each other. At one point the guy serving drinks was doing a plank across the bar (had his feet up on one side of the bar and his hands on the other). Whilst impressive, it didn’t fill me with joy with the thought of his dirty shoes up on the bar where they serve from. They let a group of girls take one of the tables we had booked. If this is what passes for service now days, im not interested. Avoid.

Visited as was staying in the area to visit friends, on arrival place seemed thriving and was busy, however all seemed to turn when I had to wait over an hour for my food too arrive and even after arriving my jacket potatoe came with rubbery prawns, and the lasagna wasn’t great tasting either Unfortunately will be coming back to this cafe again, tried a different one locally the following day and was thrilled by the service and food

Looks abandoned... perhaps permanently closed???

Visited at short notice and a table was made available. A pleasant atmosphere with staff making the effort to make you welcome. Happy to recommend and would visit again when nearby.
