Was directed here by some locals as the Plough closed at 6pm!? Didnt like it, too crowded with locals watching a band, ale was poor and found it hard to push through the crowds to get too the bar. Bit disappointed after reading the comments on here.

Great little pub with some well-kept ales. They have some great music too. If you get the chance The Camel Foot Raiders are a must-see/listening experience - one of the very best local bands I have ever heard.

This is what a modern pub should be. Smashing bishop’s finger on last time I was in the TT landlord is also kept well. Comfortable welcoming and a credit to the new management. It’s also none threatening and female friendly.

This pub re-opened about two months ago now so thought I better take a look. As one of the oldest pubs in Ipswich, I have always liked the look of the pub when passing. The appearance outside has tactfully been restored. Whilst the inside was quite pleasant it was not what I was really expecting for a pub of this age. All the seating away from the bar stools is now black leather sofas. There are two plasma screens which were both showing the Chart Show channel whilst I was there. A warming wood burning stove was on which was nice. On the walls are a number of eagle pictures.

Four hand pumps but only two in use as the T/T's Landlord just finished. That left me with a choice of G/K IPA or Adnams Bitter which I chose, which was £2.70. I noticed that they are catering for everyone with a machine that produces Coffee, Latte, Hot Chocolate and Tea.

well believe it !! the spread has finally getting the tlc it deserves ..the toilets are even inside now...a welcome for this brisk weather...as possibly the oldest pub in ipswich it is going to enjoy another heyday..of happy respectable people having a good time ..enjoying the ambience of working open firesand beams mixed with modern luxuries of comfy seating, plasma and wifi.
