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

Found this little gem by searching Google. Lovely little friendly pub which you might walk straight past if you don't keep your eyes open. Staff very friendly and attentive, food absolutely superb all seem to be freshly cooked and homemade. Large enough portions of whatever you order to fill you up but not over face you. Definitely going again if in the area. Just sorry I didn't take any photos of the food to share.

A great place for pre- and post-match beers, with a great atmosphere and a great range of beers and offers on shots. Karaoke on Sundays too.

Very busy on arrival. Had booked a table for meal with friends...... its a pity other guests can't respect the 'reserved' sign. Staff tried desperately to ask the customers to move but turned out easier for them to clean a recently vacated table. The staff were very friendly. Food was good, only complaint would be schnitzel was a bit small. Schnitzel should be a butterflied chicken breast, this appeared to have been butterflied THEN cut in half to make two.....a bit of a cheap move (IMO). Nice little find overall.

First time visiting The Botanist tonight..ended up going in a kebab shop as we are still hungry! Feel really disappointment, the lamb kebab was more like lamb meatballs not a kofte, chips were way to heavily seasoned and the size of an adults burger was more like a child's! Really disappointed as the decor was beautiful and food looked amazing online.. not what was advertised at all.

Just popped in for a quick drink but ended up having 3 and a meal due to it bring a nice cozy and super friendly pub .

I have visited this pub at all times of day and night. Usually I’m on my own, but have never felt uncomfortable, despite being a lone female. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and I’ve yet to have a bad meal. Tonight I had battered prawns from the small bites menu and a side salad. The batter the prawns were in was to die for. So crispy and crunchy with really tasty prawns inside. If you’re not a big eater this was a perfect meal and was not expensive at all. I would definitely recommend this pub.

So disappointed with the portion size - the peas are now cheap, nasty and tasteless . The chicken is still delicious but again portions so so small . Very disappointing.
