Kings Head Woodbridge — Restaurant in East Suffolk

Latest Update- the kitchen is now up and running and this has meant the pub is no longer a 'wet' pub. The Saturday group of 'old codgers' I was in have been effectively pushed out as no table available for us now so we've moved elsewhere. Went there on Sunday evening and had slow roast beef meal at post 6pm price of £10. Excellent value at that price but at normal £17.95 is more than challenged by the Bull nearby. By 9pm the place was empty and when I arrived at 8pm was quiet. From this experience the atmosphere that characterised this pub has all but been lost, The open fire was dead at 8pm. The new seats are wearing out very quickly, cushion base padding is going already. So overall Deben Inns rather than setting a suitable compromise have in my view made this yet another eatery in a former pub.

Now owned by Deben Inns but currently little or no food available as the kitchen is having a major upgrade. Bar prices have risen. Decor has had a significant upgrade as has the furniture. Still has its old world charm. Former comment -Beautiful old building but needs a good update inside, some seat covers haven't been cleaned for years and rowdy groups are not asked to calm down. The owner needs to get more involved in the day to...

Me and my parents had a terrible experience coming here. We were guided to a six chair table but there was three of us and the chairs were tiny and uncomfortable on our backs. The service was awful, we had to wait such a long time for someone to come and take our orders. Other people around us were waiting a long time too, someone had to ask if they needed to come up to the bar to order or order at their table. There were three or four people behind the bar and only one of them actually went round asking people if they were ready to order, or if everything was ok with their meals. The others were just standing behind the bar. Also my Dad had to go up to the bar to ask for a drink for my Mum, no-one came to our table. For the total price of everything, it was way too expensive for what we had. The food was average. Then when we were finished we saw students everywhere. There were loads outside and they were shouting and swearing and it was really off putting. So you'll be greeted by them when you're finished and their cigarette...

The kings head woodbridge has always been one of my favourite pubs in town. It had been some 4 months since I last visited and I was looking forward to enjoying a few pints of broadside. The pub was about half full so not that busy. My wife and I got our drinks and sat at a table which was not set up for dining and no reserved notice present. Three quarters of our way through our drinks a member of staff approached my wife and and stated that this table was reserved and could we move to another table. I did state that if the table was reserved we would not have sat there. So I said we'll drink up and move on to which the member of staff told us no you need to move NOW! What should have been an enjoyable experience was cut short by a member of staff with very poor customer service skills. Needless to say we finished our drinks at the...
