We went for lunch. Great quality food at unbeatable prices by the college staff. We loved the idea of the restaurant and the execution, highly recommend.

Chef’s Whites is a rare phenomenon. Where else can you get Michelin-quality meals and impeccable service for a budget price? Katie and her team were on top form today, delivering a truly memorable experience. From the friendly welcome through to our delicious desserts and coffee, every aspect was top-notch. From our table we were able to see the dedicated kitchen crew hard at work on the TV screen, preparing hot, tasty, well presented dishes. Chef’s Whites is a training restaurant, and I’m sure the talented young people working there will go on to have amazing careers in catering.

Best risotto I have ever had. All of the food was immaculately presented, and delicious. Well done chefs and waiting students.

This is a teaching restaurant, part of suffolk new college. The restaurant is staffed entirely of students, learning their skills in the kitchen and front of house. The food is exceptional quality, and the service is excellent. Just attended a steak night, 3 courses for just £30 excluding drinks, a real bargain. Would recommend anyone to look at the website for information and visit the restaurant on either their weekly services or on a theme night.

Another fabulous dinner, this one was a 7 course taster menu. Every course was exceptional and wouldn't be amiss in any fine dining restaurant. Truly amazing what these young people can do. Would definitely recommend.

This was the venue for the Mayor of Ipswich’s afternoon tea, and it was truly excellent. The quality and variety of cakes and sandwiches was as good as I have ever experienced - and this was by no means my first afternoon tea… The students serving us were attentive, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they were doing. Overall a great afternoon, and something for Suffolk New College to be very proud of.

I just simply love it. It doesn't feel like you're in the middle of a college. Great food, service and atmosphere.

Very accommodating - worked with our group's organiser to create an inclusive and bespoke menu that incorporated everyone's likes. Staff were attentive and explained each dish as they were presented at the table. A truly lovely dining experience. The drinks were pleasantly priced as well which was an added bonus.

We had an amazing evening sampling the 10 course tasting menu the food was delicious & beautifully presented. The students were very attentive and responded very quickly to any questions we had and also ensured a last minute guest addition to our booking who was a vegetarian was catered for at the last minute. Will definitely be back

This was the first time we'd tried the restaurant the Taste of Spring menu was outstanding. The atmosphere was relaxed and the service attentive. Given that this is a training restaurant the experience was as good or better than many professional restaurants. The flavour and quality of the dishes was excellent. We'll certainly be returning!

I visited here for a private business event of over 80 people. The restaurant atmosphere is sophisticated and welcoming, nothing like I expected a restaurant in a college to be! The food was delicious. A well thought out set menu with some of the best belly pork I have ever tasted. I really like that you can see into the kitchens to see your food being prepared too - all the staff looked calm and collected despite over 80 covers to serve all at once! Amazing. And the value! I have paid 4 times the price for food half as good in several other restaurants in Ipswich... Chef Whites is my new favourite place to eat ?
