We came recently for a family breakfast.
Firstly we had to wait ages outside to be served with many available tables.
We arrived early as apparently this is a great place for gluten free options but there were no gluten free cakes available.
The food was nice, if a little pricey for the children's breakfast muffins. Decor was loveky and a view of the boats.
Unfortunately when we went to pay, we had to go downstairs to the till as nobody was around. Waiting at the counter to hear the owner shouting at his staff like they were worthless. We felt very sorry for them, swearing at them and shouting out "oh my God I'm gonna kill myself" in front of our young children.
When we were served the owner huffs and puffs at us as we have a voucher to pay with. This isn't a free meal, someone has already paid you money for the voucher, which we added some of our own money too aswell.
I am not normally one to comment but this was pretty shocking. A shame as the place was lovely and the waitresses seemed nice.
As my 1st time as a customer, I wouldn't recommend it because of the pub service. It took 24 minutes from the time we were seated by the manager, and he left us the menus to a waiter acknowledging us. The waitress told me that no one told her about our table, so she apologised for the delay. The service was great. She also helped me to navigate the menu as I am gluten and dairy intolerant. Unfortunately, it only offers limited options, In my case, I couldn't have the cod fish with chips because it's cooked in butter. Instead, I shared a mix grill plater
I gave the service 3 stars because of the waiting time. And no, it wasn't busy at all. Only 4 tables.
The atmosphere was ok.
An amazing restaurant with truly delicious food!! My partner is gluten-intolerant and around 80% of the menu is gluten free or can be made without using gluten. The burgers are delicious and I would highly recommend the wings as they were our favourite part of the meal!
Lots of Vegan and Glutenfree options. We enjoyed two meals there. The owner was very helpful in recommending food. He even brought us a plate of fried 'calamari' which was more delicious than real calamari.
The salad bowl, terryaki noodles and ratatouille gnocci were great.
Loved the 70's and 80's music in the background. Nice garden too.
I had gluten-free toast with vegan butter (at no extra cost!!) which was delicious. My girlfriend had the small breakfast which she said was great. Various non-dairy milk options as well! I also had the gluten-free vegan flapjack which was honestly one of the best flapjacks I’ve ever had.
The prices were good and the owners were both very friendly!!
If/when we ever come back to Ipswich, we’d definitely go back here!!
Had an amazing finish-off-last-prep-meal for 20 from these guys for a big family get together. All I had to do was heat and assemble really, but every last detail was supplied with simple clear instructions, like cut herbs and salad dressings, homemade foccacia and soft-boiled eggs to top the kedgeree. Had to accommodate gluten-free and veggie preferences but that didn’t stop it from being a real banquet. Everyone was blown away by the flavours and I nearly took the credit!
