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

Had large chips. Good value, very tasty, and the guy serving was very friendly. Definitely worth a visit.

Popped in here with my teenage daughter on Sunday lunchtime (3rd Nov) for a light snack. What a gem of a place it is: Welcoming very friendly staff, excellent food and drink and very reasonably priced. I had the steak sandwich which consisted of fresh chunky bread with succulent beef that was cooked to perfection (they asked beforehand how I'd like the beef cooked). My daughter had the Halloumi Wrap which she said was delicious. Highly recommended.

I have been to the botanist in Ipswich several times and have throughly enjoyed in the past. I booked a table for 5pm 25/09 for my friends and myself and was really not happy with the service and the food. Myself and my friends ordered drinks but we were there for at least 20 mins before we were asked if we wanted a drink. We then waited another 15 minutes or so until we were asked for our orders. Please note, the resultant was not busy at this time. The three of us ordered calamari to start, this took 30 minutes to come out and it came out cold. Another 30 mins or so went by when we finally got our main. I ordered the steak medium rare and it came out more or less burnt. I waited and waited for the waitress (who was being shadowed by a new starter at the time) to ask if everything was okay with the meal but this took 15 minutes by which time my friends had finished eating. The waitress agreed that the steak looked well done and offered me another one which I accepted. Once I had the other steak, it still wasn’t great. No butter or garlic seasoning. When it came to billing there was no apology for the wait, no asked if we wanted anymore drinks, and no apology for the food. The steak wasn’t taken off the bill which I was shocked about. It was a real shame because I used to speak to highly of this place. It’s really gone downhill and I won’t be in a rush to return if at all…

Lovely little pub. Good food. Friendly staff. Comfy chairs infront of the log burner. What more could you want

The redecorated pub is good, the sloopy way the staff dress matches there attitude. No wonder it's not achieving its potential.

Popped in here a few times now whilst in town, very friendly and helpful staff. Bonus with getting rewards on their app. Food looks amazing and will definitely be back to try.

Worst Nando’s I have ever eaten ate! The restaurant & toilets were dirty, the silverware was dirty, the chicken came out half warm and we ordered a couple of sweet potato wedges that were half cooked.
