| A recent name change and an internal re-funishment. It is now know as The Riverside Hotel and the bar has been opened out re-decorated and has some new furniture. It is definitely better than it was but saying that - the beer was decidedly average (shame as it was Woodford's Wherry which is normally as excellent ale) and the TV screens and music system were competing with each other for attention! It welcomes away supporters but you have a choice - if you like good beer drink somewhere else and make a late dash for your train or have one here and accept it for what it is!! Next time I'll do the former. mcroyal - 27 Nov 2011 13:26 |
| One thing I can never quite understand is why certain pubs, or more their staff, insist on inflicting loud and unnecessary "music" on people who obviously DON'T want to listen to their choice of shite. You have a large pub with plenty enough space to play music at those who want it (though on this case there was NO ONE who wanted it) and space to have a quiet area where people can have peace. Apart from that the ale was crap. This pub has always been a craphole but I have the feeing that the imminent changes have kind of made the staff even more oblivious to the plight of the people they are (allegedly) there to serve. If you have a train to catch from Ipswich station it is best to cut it fine and buy a can on the train and accept the fact that there is nowhere in the vicinity of the station to stop for an ale.

| Favourite pub for visiting Watford football supporters. Super staff with a welcoming atmosphere. Many thanks and remember there's only one team in Yellow!! CaptainToddy - 22 Apr 2011 16:53 |

| I stopped in for a pint of Spitfire while waiting for delayed train last Thursday. Less than half dozen customers in. Spitfire OK as was my mates Adnams. Whilst the guy behind the bar staff was friendly enough two of the drinkers gave us the look of "what the **** are you doing in here?" We enjoyed our beer and avoided futher eye contact till our train came in. Doubt we will call in again. gassybrew - 21 Oct 2008 13:42 |
