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!

An awesome exquisite place for different functions

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 👏

Pickwicks is a hidden gem, and one of the only true British tea rooms left in the area. It’s really quaint with lots of character. I’m a coffee enthusiast, and no where has this many to choose from. Their coffee and tea selection is like no other, with lots of rare coffee beans (30+) to try. You can even request a specific bean for your takeaway coffee! Nowhere allows you to do this. They don’t charge extra for Oat milk which is a nice touch. Their cheese scones (which I’m told are homemade) are delicious, as are their jacket potatoes and sandwiches. The service is always exceptional, delivering an experience better than most places in Ipswich.

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
