The best restaurants serving British food in Ipswich East of England

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.

Nice location and okay food, which is a shame as that is where the good part ends. The Decor is well overdue for a re- vamp, the carpet is filthy, the tables are sticky and stained, the woodwork is in need of sanding and painting, the light fittings are 50 years old, the blinds are falling down, dirty toilets and there is dust, dirt and cobwebs everywhere and weeds outside on the patio area. This could be a nice place, but what is mentioned above, explains why we saw only 12 people in there on a bank holiday weekend !! Give it a wide berth until there is a sign of refurbishment.

Although it appears somewhat dilapidated from the outside, there were several cars parked outside, leading us to believe it might be nice. We couldn't really object because it was booked by a family member. Since neither my partner nor I eat meat, the menu only offered standard pub fare and had very few options for us. He had a vegetable curry, and I had a nut roast. He cannot have gluten, thus it was the only option that was safe. I could only think, "Wow what the chuff is this slop," when the food first arrived. My nut roast clearly consisted of frozen mashed vegetables, a packet of peanuts, and a side of more frozen veg and gravy that most definitely wasn’t vegan. My other half’s curry was basically the same as mine but with some curry powder. We couldn’t eat it at all and at £14 pounds each it was truly diabolical and what I saw from the other members of the party I’d have gone and caused a scene but I just wanted to leave and never return. The service is basic and the toilets filthy.

This café is housed in the Mansion House museum and occupies the old scullery area. There is also outside seating in a small garden. The service was great and it was an interesting place to sit, but the coffee wasn’t the best. Probably better to have the tea.

Don't go there if you fancy southern fried chicken....this was my 4th attempt over a couple of months at different times of the day at buying this item...its listed on the menu but they never have any!!! Won't be going there again!!

Popped in for brunch and coffee and I was rather impressed with the building's floors. Standard service from our favourite Brexit landlord with some questionable ideas about treatment of staff and people, but the staff and ambiance makes the pub not the xenophob landlord.

A firm favourite for a quick and tasty snack.

They now allow dogs inside, reasonably priced.

Awesome experience ! Had an issue re another worker forgetting to put a dish to the kitchen, she was a little snappy also but the lady who took over from her was amazing ! She apologised and went above and beyond to help us and resolve the issue ! She changed it to a pleasurable lunch and treated us like queens ! Her name is Nicki and she deserves a pack on the back. She was friendly, kind and did her utmost to make us feel welcome . The other lady could take a lesson from her !!

Dirty. Faulty equipment that never seem to get repaired. Dysfunctional service. Staff try their best and are pleasant and popular with all ages but obviously not valued by managers. Probably want space for more shelves.

A lot of options to choice from for adults and children. Food was great and the service was excellent, very polite and helpful staff.

Terrible service. No gluten free chips. No leaway I wanted vegetarian breakfast as it’s gluten free. Can’t do after 11:30 but have nothing else to substitute

Every time we go here they keep putting battered sausages in the order when we haven’t asked for them! Mum went and requested sausage and chips amongst other orders, got home and it was battered not normal. I went and requested 2 sausages and chips , thankfully noticed they were putting battered ones in the wrapping as I was stood at the counter. Said ‘no, I want and asked for sausage and chips not battered sausage’ the reply was ‘you didn’t ask for UNBATTERED!’ ?????? I don’t have to, I asked for sausage not battered sausage. If I wanted a battered sausage I’d have said battered sausage. Son went last week and I specifically said to him to ask for UNBATTERED sausage as I know what they are like. Guess what, he walks home and yes I open my orde to find a blooming battered sausage:( Why they are obsessed with battered sausages is anyones guess, but I’m writing the order down next time and handing it to them on a piece of paper in the hope they can get it right.
