Restaurants in Ipswich

Ocean Fish Platter

Definitely worth a visit. I had a grilled cod fillet and it was amazing. Not cheap, but you pay for quality. I'll be going back there again sometime in the future.

The Beagle

We love the Beagle. Good food, fantastic staff Tab is brilliant always professional and always a good laugh, thanks, see you again soon ? Sunday roasts are delicious ? and plenty of choice.Parking: Good disabled parking

Storico (wood fired pizza & fresh pasta)

amazing! Took my father in law our for dinner, took a chance on what looked like a delightful restaurant and we were not disappointed! The service was impeccable, the atmosphere cosy and the food was scrumptious. I couldn't;t finish mine but I can assure you that I prolonged my dining experience by having the rest of my pizza for lunch the next day! Absolutely fantastic!Vegetarian options: lots of bits to make your perfect meal x

Miller & Carter

All the food was superb very tasty indeed. Our waiter Peter was brilliant so helpful and knowledgeable of the complete menu and answered all our questions. Peter is definitely an asset to your restaurant. We will be back thank you.

Lucky's Souvlakis

I am never one to leave reviews, but I couldn't not, this was hands down the best food I have ever eaten, staying in Ipswich for work, had the chefs special and delivered to my hotel, fresh and piping hot, will be ordering again before I go home for sure!

On The Huh

Wonderful Sunday roast . Beef, pork loin or chicken and vegetarian options with yorkshire, roasties, lots of vegetables and gravy. They do a small portion or large! And good choice of puds too. Scrummy.

Harvester Ravenswood Ipswich

Food and service was great. Only slight blip was that our table was not ready on arrival and the server was sat on our seating playing on phone. Manager did ask as to why table was not ready despite the server clearly not doing anything. This did not affect our overall experience however and we will definitely visit again.

Ottoman Restaurant

Lovely atmosphere firstly is this place, service was very quick and food was great! Would definitely recommend it to anyone, easily the best Turkish food I’ve had in a long while.

The Forge Kitchen

Came here for lunch on Saturday (23.03.24) as a group of 4. The food was amazing, the cocktails were phenomenal and the waitress was brilliant (didn't get her name, but she was tall, blonde) definitely requires a promotion and a well done.Will be returning with the rest of the family. Highly recommend ?Vegetarian options: I always look out for this as my son is vegetarian although there was a few option I don't thing he would have had any if the adult choices but would be interested to se the children's menu for these.Dietary restrictions: Plenty of gluten free options that I noticedParking: There is a large car park across the road, but it does not belong to the restaurant and its quite expensive.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a slight hill to get to the restaurant if approaching from the carpark but the restaurant itself does have a wheelchair accessible entrance.

Papaky Coffee Shop

Papaki Coffe Shopp in Ipswich is a small place where you can eat well. I think if all of us could try making a meal, it would be really good.Personally and privately, I feel very good. The quality of the food and the service is excellent.

Mister Wing

Ate here late night for the first time, wanted to try this place for ages and finally did. Did not disappoint! Lovely food and service and reasonably priced too.

The Eaterie @ the Salthouse Harbour Hotel

Amazing food and the most polite and helpful waiting staff I've encountered for a long time. Really couldn't fault the quality or standards there. Only reason I'm giving 4 stars not 5 is due to how noisy it was. The design of the restaurant (which aesthetically is stunning) incorporates high ceilings and open brick-work. Therefore when busy you cannot hear yourself think and genuinely struggle to have a conversation across the table. I appreciate this is structural and very little can be done but never the less it did take away from the overall experience which was a shame. Would have definitely given 5/5 otherwise.

Briarbank Brewing Company

Good place to sit in comfort and have a beer and food (not too noisy when we went). Big piece of fish with chips for just under £15, I had a pizza twist and chips as a smaller option, would have preferred a bit more choice with this. Staff friendly and welcoming.

Plough

Excellent afternoon at The Plough yesterday afternoon watching the Horse Racing. The food was fantastic, well prepared and delicious and the service was second to none. Thank you for a very enjoyable afternoon.

Bella Napoli

Fantastic food and service. Garlic bread and mozzarella sticks for starter and meet feats pizza and chicken pasta for mains. All delicious, hot and served with a smile! Really good prices too!

Silver Service Takeaway

Chicken kebab was amazing. Plenty of meat and fresh salad and chilli sauce was homemade. Food was ready quickly and staff very friendly and also great value for money. Will definitely return sometime soon.

The Swan

Came here to celebrate my parents 60th wedding anniversary. Food was lovely. I had the sharing seafood platter with sweet potatoes so filling. I had the cheese board. Massive but very nice. Thank

Bella Napoli Express

This was my third visit and confirmed my opinion that it serves some of the best Italian food I have ever had. No frills and not expensive but excellent quality.

Turkish Delight

Really awesome food and good service. The restaurant is quite small and can get quite crowded as the tables are close to each other but the food makes up for this. The platters are definitely worth the money and good sized portions.

Blends

Four of us went to this cafe on 23/03/24.food was lovely, at little pricey, can't fault the service apart from one man making coffee kept looking at us and laughing and said something to the girl that's serving and she laughed and he went into the kitchen and said somethingand a young man came out and looked at us and laughed.i nearly had a go at them.how dare they behave to customers like that.i thought they would need customers whoever you are.not happy customers.

Mermaid

Stayed 2 nights, eating in. As with our previous stays, everything re service, menus, value, cleanliness, comfort etc was top drawer. A truly friendly & helpful staff was the most appreciated aspect, more & more of a rarity these days it seems.

Ship Inn Levington

The food was delicious. Good size portions, too.We didn't have to wait too long for it either. Good selection of starters, mains, and desserts..Will be going back again soon hopefully..

Lord Nelson

Couldn't have been happier. In horrendous weather we turned up soaked and were sat in front of the fire, our dog couldn't have been happier!Fantastic food, decent value and very friendly staff :)

Boom Battle Bar Ipswich

Brunch was great, cocktails and food were delicious, our server Andy was lovely. We will definitely be back!Vegetarian options: Good selection of veggie options.

Hungry Horse

Great location. Always a great atmosphere. Great staff especially Marie who goes out of her way to greet customers and deliver drinks ect. Amazing customer service!

The Duke of Marlborough

Went for Sunday lunch, we both had the roast lamb which was perfectly good as were the vegetables. A very generous plate of taste food.We then both had the Syrup pudding which was so light and fluffy. The staff were all very friendly and efficient. There is a good choice of beer and we'll kept. The pub was not that busy which is a shame as it is a very good place to eat.

The Black Horse Inn

An old haunt of mine for many years, the current owners are maintaining a fine tradition of good music, fine ale, great service and a friendly, dog allowed atmosphere.I heartily

Bella Napoli 2

This was a pilgrimage to the last of the holy trinity of Bella Napoli restaurants in Ipswich so I knew what I was expecting. 12 inch spicy sausage pizza for £10.99 which is well worth the money. I like everything spicy so was given some spicy kebab sauce and chilli olive oil. The chilli sludge at the bottom of the olive oil was excellent. Spicy enough when it caught the back of my throat I couldn't speak for a while. The restaurant ambience compared to the two Bella Napoli restaurants in town was a bit dull but everything was clean and the staff lovely. We also had a large 660ml birra moretti which was reasonably priced. I definitely recommend this place.

Hank's Dirty Ipswich

We booked Hanks Dirty last week, 2 adults and 2 kids, we filled our faces until we could fill no more and even bought the mac & cheese home that we couldn't squeeze into our bulging bellies.The new milkshakes are delicious, the burgers were lovely, the nachos were spot on and the mac and cheese options are things of beauty.Food quality was excellent, service was top notch, great atmosphere, and value for money.Thanks to Geoff and his team for a great meal!

Bistro On The Quay

We had a lovely meal here last night. I had steak and red wine jus, my husband had the maple and bacon burger. Tastiest food in the area, attentive staff, friendly and welcoming. We were staying 1 night on the Marina and definitely chose wisely where to eat! Great menu, service and atmosphere.

Shell

Went there tonight as needed fuel for work and I have fuel card this was the second place I tried and they except very friendly/helpful staff nice and clean to no litter very clean shop and forecourt will be back

Shell

Main supplier of my fags and coffee sweets. Joan, Claire & izzy are great girl's although Claire gets my fags without me asking.... think I go there too much

American Candy Stores - UK Stores

Pentahotel

We had a unique experience at this hotel, due to the games room idea in the bar area. There is clearly a family friendly outlook. Even though we travelled as a group of four adults, we liked this vibe. We also felt that the hotel is working well to adopt an eco-friendly approach, which we found refreshing.

Shell

Excellent service and one of the Best BP stations I have ever used in my life. My car, when I pumped it, gained an extra 500 horsepower which allowed me to participate in formula 1 racing ?️ as they are a partner. My 1.2 litre Micra turned into a weapon on the streets of Ipswich. I also love the Indian workers working there especially this man called Benny. Extremely quick and friendly service. Would recommend 10/10. Only issue is the lack of Free Fuel when I ask for it as I am extremely bankrupt and the HMRC are after me.

McDonald's

I have been served within 5min and have been very pleased with my milkshake. Inside and outside sitting area has been clean and tidy. Car park very full and a bit of the waiting near the drive through. But maybe because it was lunch time.

McDonald's

Quick service. Friendly server. Food was as expectedParking: 8 click and serve spaces. But they weren't as well sign posted as other McDonald's, so I can imagine them being taken up by customers who might not be using click n serve

McDonald's

A Good McDonalds, food is great, but needs a separate counter for Deliveroo/JustEat, etc. drivers. They are constantly taking over the collection counter and getting in everyone's

Sorrel Horse Inn

We have quite literally just got back home, after having a lovely meal. I had the Lamb and Leek Casserole, it was so lovely, it tasted like my grandma’s lamb casserole. We have never been before, but would very much recommend to other people, a very welcoming pub, and the staff were really lovely, so thankyou.

Hot Sausage Company

I crave a hot sausage and Always get one when we visit Ipswich. Service is always great and friendly. Prices are reasonable for the sizes and i love the sauce options. The footlongs are *chef's kiss*Vegetarian options: None. Its a Sausage Company. Avoid at all costs. Leave the goodness for us meat eaters ;PKid-friendliness: regular is the perfect size for a kid. you cant go wrong with these hot dogs!

Trongs

We had an excellent meal here tonight with impeccable service, even in spite of a large group who caused the owners a lot of hassle tonight. Could not recommend this place enough. Reasonably priced for a brilliant selection of food. Definitely will be coming back.

Kwan Thai Restaurant

Always a joy to visit this family run, friendly and delicious restaurant. New Year’s Eve was the perfect evening to experience the best Thai cuisine I have tasted in UK. Happy to recommend to everyone. Will definitely be back time and time again. ???

Amazing restaurant with great waitress who was very kind and chatty just what we needed after a long drive down from lincolnshire and hungry bellys the food was lovely and we loved the look of the restaurant they kept it traditional it was beautiful so in all brilliant all around thank you for a lovely curry and lovely evening

Ararat Restaurant

Ararat is one of our favourite places to eat in Ipswich. Parking is round the corner; it’s accessible for all, it’s clean and tidy and most of all… THE SERVICE AND FOOD IS AMAZING ?Tonight, we got the humous as an starter and the amazing bread, mains was a veg kebab and I had an chicken kofte with a GORGEOUSSSSS slice of fresh Baklava to finish…As always, the food is so good, the service is amazing.

East Ocean

First visit here. We ordered the set meal for 3. It was yummy. We added in the crispy duck and it was delicious. Service was brilliant. Staff were happy and friendly. We had a lovely meal and will definitely be back. Wish it opened at 5pm as we went pre-theatre and had to dash off before our coffee because we were friends catching up!

Thrasher

We had a party of 12 for a birthday yesterday. Staff and service were great. Food we had was lovely. Only negative we had was the non gluten containing menu. We were told it’s not a gluten free menu it just has non gluten containing foods. We wanted a sandwich which was showing on menu but apparently it’s not on gluten free bread. Other than that we had no problems. The New Manager was so attentive.

Mizu Noodle Bar

Delicious food, amazing portion sides, friendly attentive staff even when packed and run off feet with take away orders, definitely be back, this will become a regular dinner spot as soooo many meals to

Isaacs on the Quay

Parking: Pay and display carparks within walking distance. These are quite expensiveWheelchair accessibility: This pub has several floors. There is a small covered area onbthe ground floorThe open courtyard is accessible.

Martlesham Pizza

I think this place may have changed hands since I last used it.One thing that bothers me, is YOU CAN'T ORDER A PIZZA TO BE DELIVERED ANYMORE!So I ordered a burger and an XL chicken kebab with garlic and chilli sauce.I was charged extra for the chilli sauce, and there isn't any!So it went from £15.13 to £15.70, because of the "extra sauce" which isn't even here.But in all, a good kebab, a good burger.But not being able to order a single pizza for delivery is insane.I'd have had a kebab and a pizza, but I'm not buying 2.

Hot Stuff

Very friendly, welcomed on entering the premises. Very clean environment and quick service. More importantly, great chips, at a good price. Would highly recommend. Ill be back to sample the fish next time. :)

Duncans Bakery

Simply thoroughly professional, safe and with product of the highest quality.So sorry, one cannot write a review such as I did about first class professional service and only give 4 stars! A major typographical error (or probably fat fingers on the keyboard) for which my apologies and I am happy to correct as well as recording now the best pork crackling and bread flour for miles around. This is definitely 5 stars!Recently (August 2023), and after 22 years of buying granary flour from this wonderful bakery, my bread maker failed so I searched the shop for an alternative......Wow, I was invited to try Multi Seeded Bread and WOW again! Fantastic and well as healthy, do try it especially toasted, slice it quite thickly so it has a soft centre and wow once more!

St Nicholas Sandwich Shop

Hidden gem on one of the best streets in Ipswich. Focaccia sandwiches whose price absolutely justifies what you get! Thick, fluffy, grilled to perfection. What a wonderful lunch spot - grab yourself a sandwich today!

Farmhouse

I took advantage of the buy one get one free on the fried breakfast. I was very impressed with the food and service.... Wasn't too little or too much for me.

Ipswich CodFellas

Best chip shop I’ve ever been too food is cooked fresh every time staff go far and beyond for there customers to the point one of the lady’s went out of her way to drop off my wallet to my house after I left it in the shop so friendly when ordering food ???

Jo's Diner

Came after a long gym session: tired, aching and sad. So I set of round the corner and there it was the beauty. I entered the establishment wondering and hoping that my worries will be swept away by there dishes. I order, the service was incredible. I wait for a few minutes and my food arrived. Every succulent bite left a sense of amazement towards this great fortress suddenly every pain I had was swept away and once I had finished I felt top of the world. How this place is not a national heritage site rottens me to the core, forget the pyramids of Giza, the coliseum this place is a travelers seven wonders of the world. I don’t know if I will ever be able to have such a sentimental sensation again and do not think there is anything better for me anymore. I’m left with a sense of guttedness and severe anger every second I am not there. As I am writing this review I am in my shed balling my eyes out I just need my 1/2 pound cheese burger with extra cheesy cheesy chips. Keep up the great work staff and I will returning very soon. ??????? ??????

Admirals Fish and Chips

Hurrah. New management now frying in vegetable oil and been assured chips are Veggie friendly - so bad news for my hips as they are delicious (chips not hips). Food freshly cooked. I've bought the fish for friends and family and all enjoyed it. Good portions, nice atmosphere. Can get very busy, suggest you pre-order over the weekend.Vegetarian options: Chips, Veggie burger enough to keep us carrot crunchers happy.Wheelchair accessibility: Parking nearby and there is access to the shop that avoids steps.

It is a wonderful place where I have spent the most enjoyable times since the day I started living in Kesgrave. The owner, the staff and the whole team are wonderful people. You will definitely feel happy here...

Shamrock

Good pub in the centre of town. The staff were friendly and on the ball. Comfortable atmosphere and because of the wonderful seating at the bar a great place for a beer and a little chat. If you want the barmaids full attention bring a puppy with you ??

Papas Piri Piri Restaurant Take Away

Amazing and authentic Portuguese/Brazillian Boteco.First time I walked past what looked to be an ordinary chicken shop, second time I noticed the bar. Third time I noticed lots of happy people eating and drinking.2 Piri chicken, chips, rice and salad. Absolutely fantastic.
