The best restaurants serving British food in Ipswich East of England

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 .

Had a carvery, Jamie the chef was very attentive, food hot and fresh, will be back 👍

Treated my mum for Christmas dinner . Friendly staff and meal was 5* Reasonable priced Definitely book again , To paul and family and staff merry Christmas and great new year

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.

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.

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!!

We ordered the classic burger and chips and it was absolutely terrible and we would never go back. If you want decent food stay clear of this dump. I can see why JD Wetherspoons is going down the pan the sooner the better if they are all like this.

Stopped to charge the car, and popped in for a drink and snack while we waited. Left after only using the toilet. Horrible experience wouldn't have used but I was desperate. Glad my husband had not yet ordered anything as hygiene is clearly not a priority, noted some unclean tables on way out. Not as if they were that busy. Come on ....wake up, you can do better

Arrived for lunch only able to order at the machine. The cafe was very cold had to wait almost 30 minutes for food which was Ok at best 2 small bits of bacon hash browned over cooked mushrooms greasy. hot chocolate was very very sweet

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

Not very good this time unfortunately not much food and no puddings had to wait 15 mins to get seated was lots of free tables at the time then had to try and find some one to pay for our meal, usually a good meal there

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.
