Yes they were, and especially with garlic sauce Uhhh Yum! My husband ordered the prosciutto pizza. Our food came very quickly and it was hot. My favorite way to have food served to me. Our server was wonderful and attentive cannot remember how to spell her name but she is from Romania. The pizza was ample size, and with lots of cheese. The pasta was advertised for one, but there was plenty to take away. During our meal the owners wife Tanya introduced herself and sat with us for a lovely conversation about, well everything. So pleasant and engaging. If we were not just visiting I would come again next and try the risotto. Prices are very reasonable. Cheers from Ipswich and this family owned and friendly establishment.

I totally have to give this place five stars!…read more While visiting family, we came in on a Saturday night and there was about 25 of us, yep 25, and our waiter was AMAZING! Now he did have a bit of help and they were amazing as well! A+ on the service! He took all of the orders by himself, and guess what folks, everything was correct! No problems, no issues! The restaurant was very nice in size and set up really well. There was plenty of space as well so we did not feel cramped. The food, great as well! I started out with an order of olives and a cocktail (Hard Lemonade). For my entree, I ordered a pepperoni pizza with roasted peppers and mushrooms. It was sooooo good. I could go for another now! Ha! I asked a few of my of my family members their thoughts and they enjoyed their meals as well. Now for the location. There are a few other restaurants in the center as well as a movie theatre. The parking, hmmm, a lot of it, but at a time when there are a lot of people out, it can be a little hard to find a space. All in all I definitely would go again!

I know it is part of a chain (and some people can get a bit sniffy about that) but everytim we have been there the service has been very good and extremely prompt.

I particularly like the Stromboli pizza (being a bit of a carnivore!)

The summer menu is a great way to try new things as they usually run promotions over their news dishes. There's not much choice if you are veggie but what I'd tried has always been of a high standard. The green vegetable risotto was a dish that springs to mind. The portion was a bit small but filled me up perfectly well, I guess it's a good sign that the flavours encouraged you to want a spoon full more.

As a fan of deep pan pizza, I was skeptical to try the famous thin base pizza's that were a speciality at Pizza Express..however, after a couple of bites, I was hooked. The pizza's taste like real Italian home-made pizza's with fresh dough and creamy tomato puree. The presentation of the pizza's was extremeley aesthetically pleasing and just as tasty. The restaurant itself is much bigger than it looks and the staff here were very welcoming and friendly. Top tips: 1) Visit at night time. The lights along the bay set a very nice scene. 2) Save room for dessert..they're amazing even if you don't have the biggest sweet tooth

In recent years, various members of my family have moved to the Stour valley area and so I was very excited to finally have the opportunity to go here, having just re-read the book to my own sons. The Butt and Oyster certainly lived up to my expectations. Although, like many country pubs have become over the past ten years, it's really more like a restaurant with beer, the interior is still clearly old, with terrific character. Its situation in the village of Pinmill is everything you could wish for as a Ransome fan, with a host of boats new and old lining the 'Hard', a scattering of well-preserved cottages and sailboats drifting by on the Orwell. The food here was very tasty with some local themes - seafood in particular. I had a delicious Lowestoft skate with capers and roasted tomatoes. Plus, they sell Adnams ales which instantly gives it at least four stars on my scale. A couple of pints of Broadside washed the food down a treat. After lunch we also had a great walk through meadows upstream along the river. A real English country experience that feels like it hasn't changed much since Ransome's day. Except that it takes credit cards.
