The best restaurants serving British food in Alexandra Ipswich East of England

Encore coffee house has great tasting coffee and at great value compared to more well known brands. A friendly welcoming atmosphere and a great place to work or meet people. The food is freshly made on site and there's a great range of sandwiches, panini, jacket potatoes and soups. I'm egg and dairy free and they're always accommodating to make something if there isn't anything already available on the counter. Non-dairy milks available at no extra cost!

Had a big celebration party of 120 people, the standard of service was outstanding from start to finish. It is a beautiful and flexible venue and the staff were very accommodating with all aspects particularly Robert and Jane. The finger buffet was excellent and of a high standard. Could not recommend Ipswich and Suffolk Club highly enough.

Absolutely fantastic place, food is amazing & will be coming back.

Amazing cocktail bar. Perfect ambience: wood panelling, crystal lighting, plush velvet seating to slump into. The cocktails were delicious; my Parca with agave vinegar (better than it sounds) served in an earthenware pot was a real highlight. We had crispy chicken bao buns and padron peppers to keep the hunger pangs at bay. Service was friendly, relaxed and attentive. We will definitely return.

A hidden secret this cafe. From the outside it's a jewellers but enter and go up stairs to find a little jewel of a cafe. Very good standard cafe, good service and a bit of a treat to be honest. Great place to bring your partner for a treat!

Just had THE most amazing dinner here! Food was absolutely superb, staff and service excellent. However… we were sat next to the main front door which was constantly in use and we seemed to be in a permanent draught 🥶.. really took the edge off the evening for me, as i felt I was in a walkway and it was chilly tonight. I’ll definitely ask for a table on the upper level if there’s a next time.

One of my new fave places to stop for lunch. Amazing service from Jay as always 👏

Popped into Pickwicks today because I was told they have a good selection of Coffee Beans. I bought a bag, almost £30 for a kilo. The staff member pealed off a label at the till and I didn’t think anything of it at the time? Just looked at the bag and it was the Sell by/Use by dates that was peeled off. I can only assume I was charged full price for out of date possibly even past Use by date Coffee. I definitely will not be going back there if this is their policy on food items???

Back again for the beef stew and dumplings although hot outside you can't beat this old favourite meal in lovely surroundings. Unfortunately the bell tower housing the oldest bells in Christendom cannot be rang at present due to ongoing structural work.

We stopped for lunch as in Ipswich on business. Lovely find, love the extra touches, seemed like a super friendly family business where they want to exceed expectation. Good choice of food and really yummy. Loved the cucumber water too. Will def go back next time we are there!!

Je voulais manger un très bon fish & chips et j'ai demandé à la patronne du b&b ou je logeais si elle avait un adresse à me conseiller Sans hésitation elle m'a répondu :ici! J'étais un peu hésitant mais en fait le F&C était tous simplement délicieux avec des frites bien goûteuse (j'en ai pris une deuxième portion...) Bref à conseiller sans hésitation (ou moins pour cela!)

Fantastic 3 course meal perfectly cooked, amazing turkey, perfectly presented. Great service from everyone there very attentive and great fun. Would highly recommend for a meal out and great location especially if seeing a show at The Regent, I'll be back.

We booked lunch to celebrate our friends big b’day, we hadn't been before so booked on reviews&location. We were a party of 4, ordered cocktails which were lvly. Setting and atmosphere just right! We all really enjoyed our choices of mains&pudds. We will definitely be going back!

The pub was having nice crowds and music. They have a special Cherokee, and that is awesome. The best part is they play all jouner of music according to the crowd.

Nipped in for a drink before our meal extremely good service
