We eat here several times a year. The staff are always pleasant and friendly and nothing is too much bother for them. We both had the Hake which was totally fantastic cooked to perfection and perfectly balanced with all of the other ingredients on the plate. The beer was also very nice and the bar appeared to be well stocked to suit all tastes. As it is in a working marina there are plenty of sailing boats to look at as you enjoy your food. We will certainly visit again when we go to the ipswich area.

Lovely lunch with a friend - food and service was very good and the view splendid

K. B.

I do love this place! A really nice place to stop in after a long dog walk and watch the boats. The staff are some of the most attentative and friendly staff I have ever met. The selection of drinks is great and the food is top quality.

C. D.

A lovely place for a few drinks. It overlooks the marina, with a lovely veranda when the sun is out and a very nice bar inside. They do a selection of Tapas and there is also full restaurant menu. Opening hours have recently been increased to normal pub hours from Wednesday through to Sunday

Went there on a Friday evening for a meal and found it a nice relaxing place to eat. There were tables inside and out. The menu was not huge but had a good range of meals. We had three different meals amongst the four of us and all were perfect. The staff were very friendly too. Will definitely go back.

D. G.

Nice place with a good view of the Marina. Food was good as was the service. I do recommend this restaurant.

L. S.

We had a really lovely breakfast today. Great service, friendly welcome and superb setting. Thank you for the special birthday table sign and tea lights.

Cannot Fault .....4 of us went 3 cod& chips and 1 chicken tikka salad ...........Excellently presented with a decent amount of food well cooked rather than " a pattern on a plate " where you have to eat when you get home ! .....Lovely views and a nice eating space outside with plenty of tables will be back !

G.

Really enjoyable for a nice quiet drink. I didn't eat on this visit but the food looked fantastic. I'll definitely be returning soon.

C. W.

Beer choice isn't great and the place is not the nicest inside. Tables outside on the river will be a beautiful setting on a summers day and I've heard the food is very good so I'll repost when I've tried it.

Visited the venue again on Sunday 21st August and yet again can't fault the staff or service or the venue BUT PLEASE TRY TO SORT THE CLIENTEL as yet again the same person that I wrote about in the last review was back again with the dog and completely of her head due to drink and on this occasion ended up on the floor partially unconscious, surely you should deal with this before it gets that bad as we were with friends and really did not come over as very professional and surely you must see that this would put off other visitors and also us from revisiting considering myself and other members of my family visit regularly. Very pleasant surroundings, and very nice staff, not a massive menu but small and good is best, excellent breakfast, worth a visit. Visited again last night and we have used a lot in the past as one of our favourite venues and once again cannot fault the food or service, excellent BUT was not impressed with the certain table that decided it was okay to allow their dog to roam freely around the restaurant under people's Tables while they were eating, dancing around the tables with a child while attached to the dog lead being very loud and very aggravating Not what I would expect in this kind of venue. Obviously drink played a big part but this should have been stopped and they should have been asked to leave If you are going to allow dogs they should be kept under control and also their owners

First time here on Sunday for lunch. Great food and service - lovely location. Will definitely be back!

E. B.

I visited for breakfast and just wanted to say what a brilliant experience I had. The location of this establishment is perfect, as the views are amazing across the marina, a really nice setting on a sunny winters morning. The food was excellent (full English breakfast), and our waitress couldn't be more helpful in ensuring our needs were met. Will definitely be coming back!

L. F.

Great venue, open to the public, within Fox's Marina. Includes a bar / restaurant as well as a separate cafe.

V. F.

Had the most amazing party organised by manager Atilla. The food, hospitality and all the stuff were excellent! Exceeded all my expectations. Highly recommend.

C. G.

Called yesterday with a group of Ramblers for breakfast the food and service was excellent I had the full english amd everything was great particularly liked the proper mushroom. Well done

J. M.

Lovely, and Staff always friendly, menu small but better as it's easier to make your mind up. Update, went here for dinner on Saturday, the meal was again lovely and although new staff very nice. But sadly management do need to ask diners/ drinkers who are inside to keep there dogs if brought in, on a lead and by them. Not as we experienced where a dog was allowed to wander up and down the resturant coming over to our table several times which we did not want moreso while we were eating. Also the people(2 and a child) who had the dog were very very loud that although we were across the room from them sometimes we could not hear each other speak on our table. We went for a nice evening out with family which we have done there quite a few times, but I'm afraid if this happens agsin we definetly will not be going there.

S. C.

Let down by the confrontational service I'm afraid, but shall be back as it's a nice place and I'm now in a position to request butter and not marg on my fish finger sarnie and won't be subdued when I ask for fresh crisps instead of soggy ones (this was only one young male member of staff so odds are I'll be served by someone else next time, no tip left)

J. C.

Only had lattes so not able to fully judge, but disappointed by the "outlook". Expected lovely River Orwell views but all u see are containers and a yacht basin. Also it's a long walk from the car park for disabled folk like us with seemingly no nearer blue badge places. May come back for the music nights which sound interesting.

V. C.

Visited at lunch today and had fish and chips. The batter was perfect and light, the fish was beautiful and white and fresh. Chips were well cooked and the peas and accompliaments finished the dish. We have been doing a tour of Suffolk and Norfolk looking for one the best in the two Counties and we found it today in terms of good quality and value for money. Be back soon

A number of us have been going for months, mostly on a Tuesday and Sundays when we could. We always enjoyed ourselves and the staff were always very friendly. We became such regulars that we booked a table each week and did not have to give the name as the staff knew without asking and did not need to ask what we were having. So disappointed today when we all turned up to be handed a new menu. As we have health issues we always had the jacket potatoes and just looking around the restaurant you could see how popular they were. These have been taken off the menu and have not been replaced with anything we could have forcing us to leave. This is more of a thank you to the staff as over the months they have always been so nice and we are going to miss them. We so enjoyed our Tuesday lunchtimes. Sally and all the rest.Could you please respond if you do have jacket potatoes put back on the menu at any time. Thank you. Thankyou so much for your response and will be booking a table for next week tomorrow.

Lovely coffee, friendly staff and great quality food. Really good prices too.

First visit went along for coffee, sat outside as a lovely sunny day. Staff friendly and helpful, was going to have scones but unfortunately had run out but staff were helpful as didn't want full breakfast as on menu but they were happy to do bacon sandwiches! All clean and presentable reasonably priced will return

j. P. (.

Nice place to sit outside on a Sunny day and have lunch and a few drinks. Prices are reasonable with friendly and welcoming staff.

Beautiful venue, friendly and welcoming staff. Food very good.

Popped in for an early morning breakfast and overall it was a fantastic experience. The waitress that served me was very kind and helpful, the scenery and the decor was pleasant but most importantly, the food was perfect.

K. C.

Fabulous place, clean, very friendly service and fresh food. Plenty of parking next-door (not to be confused with the marine parking, please make sure to drive a bit further towards Shotley to then take the next entrance to the left, once inside, take another left and you will find the parking straight ahead of you). Absolutely recommended.

G. W.

A really lovely place to meet up for a delicious meal. A light and airy place with a great atmosphere, we were well looked after by friendly staff and have already recommended it friends!

S. B.

Came for lunch on a beautiful sunny day. Sat on the terrace to enjoy smoked salmon on scrambled egg on toast. Not crowded at all, a little slice of calm on the marina just outside ipswich. Will definitely be back!

s. b.

First time that we've been here and very impressed with the staff, the food and the safe seating. Everything very, very clean and noticed how staff constantly cleaning. Toilets very clean too. We will definitely go here again!

J. L.

Always pleasant, nice view of marina and lovely watching the swans, geese etc

S.

Visited this morning for breakfast. Food was lovely, beautifully presented, and the staff were extremely efficient and helpful. Excellent value too !! Newly opened, and likely to be much busier as customers return. One suggestion would be to list the contents of the breakfast on the menu as l am not a Black Pudding fan and that would have alleviated wastage. Otherwise excellent !!

R. T.
