| The restaurant/gastro-pub has gone out of business. Is this place jinxed? It has re-opened, but they have left the signage untouched, hence the confusion detailed below. Even the menu remains up. JimE - 21 Nov 2010 14:37 |
| Closed on a saturday afternnon despite sign saying 11-11....disappointing. loveleedshatebates - 3 Oct 2010 10:47 |
| We love this pub. The bar staff are very friendly, the food is excellent and the beers, wine, cider and real ale is very good - especially the Peroni and Calvors. Five pints on a Sunday afternoon is highly recommended and it's a safe roll down the hill to the town centre. fartypants - 1 Nov 2009 11:31 |
| I went in on Sunday with the GF and found the food to be fantastic. Restaurant quality and then some. Hearty portions of local and well cooked fresh fodder with everything made in house. The price reflects this though I guess this depends on the context as it’s not Wetherspoons and you get what you pay for. My repast on Sunday was immense and cooked to perfection. We went again on the Monday for a snack and Even a simple cheese and chutney sandwich is poetry. Home baked crusty bread, sweet chutney made on the premises and really high quality cheese. I would have welcomed a big plate of proper chunky chips with this but they don’t do them at lunch time for some strange reason. Don’t get me wrong, this is a welcoming place with friendly staff, the manager is an ausy but I can forgive him this as his cask ale policy is top notch in all ways. 3 local micro brews plus a national depending on his mood and good prices means that this place should be counted on any good Ipswich crawl along with the Woolpack, Spread Eagle, Dove and fat Cat. Do give it a try and support this independentfree house. Oh, the guide-dogs were provided for also with no questions asked and water was offered as soon as we had ourdrinks. Perfect. They lose a mark because of a lack of chips at lunch time. mproberts - 24 Sep 2009 08:07 |
| I paid another visit this week to The Arboretum. I must say the windows and door that have the frosted stained glass may affect people entering. I visit many pubs and do like to be able to see in before I enter a pub. There is now a fourth hand pump which has a revolving guest ale. The guest is currently St Peters Organic as well as the usual three Adnams Bitter, Woodfordes Wherry and Earl Soham Victoria. The beer prices seem to have increased since last time at £3.00 for the St Peters Organic. I noticed the Aspalls Suffolk Cider pump is now present as well as Calvors Suffolk Lager. It is good to see the pub supporting local products across the bar. The blackboard to the left of the bar shows the lunch and evening menus. The pub provides a number of daily newspapers for customers to read. I hope local people are using the pub as the owners are trying hard. Love_good_ale - 5 Apr 2009 01:30 |
