Best Bars And Pubs In Ipswich

If you're looking for that cosy pub feel, then The Plough is the place to go. Situated a stone's throw away from The Buttermarket, it's a great place to go after a long, hard day of shopping.

There's a whole range of wines, craft beers and spirits on offer that you can enjoy while catching the latest footy matches or watching a live music performance on a Saturday night. Plus, it's one of the best pubs in Ipswich for food to eat, especially if you're booking in for one of their banging Sunday roasts.

If you take a short drive from Ipswich, you'll find the quaint town of Orford. The Jolly Sailor is an ale house that first opened its doors in the 1500s and is a fabulous hotspot to enjoy a glass of wine or a decadent lobster dish.

Expect to be wowed by the sensational views of Orford Ness marshes while sitting on a picnic bench in their large beer garden, with your favourite beverage in hand. It's also a stone's throw away from Orford Castle, which was built in 1165 by Henry II (it's definitely worth a visit). 

You can find the floral sensation that is The Botanist in the Cornhill, which serves up delicious botanical-style cocktails. Sip on the Poppy and Pink Gin Punch for a sweet treat, or chill out with a Garden Mojito in hand.

They've even got a whole host of food on the menu, with everything from juicy burgers to their famous hanging kebabs. Book in for a brunch date to enjoy a full English, shakshuka or eggs benedict, plus you can add some bottomless drinks for an extra £25. And their Sunday roast menu is nothing short of mouth-watering. You can expect slow roasted honey pork belly, juicy beef and the creamiest cauliflower cheese in the biz.
