Avoid this place at all costs unless you are just calling in for a drink!…read more We passed by here once stopping for a drink and saw that the pub served food - it all looked a very homely style pub so we thought we would bring our family here for a meal one Sunday. What a mistake!!! We waited ages for a table which we had booked in advance, waited ages for our orders to be taken, waited ages for the meal to turn up - which turned up without any veg - which we had to wait a further five minutes for after the rest of our dinner had been delivered to our table. We had to laugh when they finally got round to asking us if we fancied dessert - NO THANKS!

Whitebait and crab crab sandwiches both hit the spot, and didn't break the bank, at around £7 each. Gets rammed at busy times, like bank holidays, so don't expect to eat inside here ( or indeed anywhere else in Orford) unless you've booked ahead. Friendly and very efficient staff.

Beautiful pub. Fair took me breath away when I walked in. I didn't even go in for a drink, I went…read morein for information! But the sheer age of the place, the heavy dark timbers, the utterly *English* vibe of the place (despite being an Irish pub) made me want to go up to the bartender and say "Barkeep, pour me a pint!" The information I went in for WAS beer related though. You see, for Christmas they has this most excellent window display that really caught my eye. It was a nativity scene. But not just any nativity scene, it was created out of Guinness bottles. The Joseph Guinness had a little shepherd hat on and everything...but the kicker, the real "win" in this whole thing was the baby Jesus. Baby Jesus was being played by a tiny eensy weensy Guinness bottle in a little manger.....it was freakin' AWESOME! So anyhow, I walk in and ask the bartender if I can get a baby Jesus to go. (Mind you, the window display was not up anymore since it was January when I went in to ask this) And she didn't bat an eyelash, she knew just what I was talking about and was super friendly and chatty with me telling me all about how the owner brought the baby Jesus back from Ireland and that they didn't have any to sell unfortunately. But she was one of the nicest people I met in all of Ipswich and I wish now that I had indeed asked for that pint. By the by, I rated this as pricey, but then everything in the UK seemed pretty pricey to me....so I may be biased in my opinion.

Okay for a drink or two on a night out but not nice enough to visit on the regular.read more

It's large and spacious with comfortable seating and an outdoor area. So if there happens to be some good weather passing through, take full advantage and sit in the outside area! Although, sitting inside is just as nice. The service was great and the name of this pub is adorable! I didn't eat here, but the food did look good as I saw others dining here. Great pub!
