The Belstead Arms — Restaurant in Ipswich

A great pub, with a really chilled atmosphere. It has a large bar with plenty of seating and pool table and darts board, plus there are TV's everywhere so no matter where you sit you won't miss any of the Sky Sports action. My little one loved the garden and was playing on the climbing frame all afternoon following our family carvery lunch a couple of Sunday's ago. The food was absolutely amazing and the kids went up for 2nd's and 3rd's. The lads where spoilt for choice with the selection of beers available and us ladies enjoyed a lovely bottle of Sauvignon from the wine list.

I would also say the staff are friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make my niece feel special for her 13th birthday meal. I highly recommend...

The pub was meant to close at 10.00 pm so we were expecting more time chatting and have a few more drinks. Obviously they didn't want our custom. We definitely won't be going back. Not worth visiting in evening for drinks and the time you believe they are closing may...

The Belstead Arms, were brilliant, again,the staff are great, and good fun, they are very attentive, and nothing is too much trouble, it was our motorcycle club Christmas lunch,2023… and the pub did us proud yet again, so much choice ,I had Minestrone soup with a roll and butter to start,with a huge turkey roast dinner,with all the trimmings and Xmas pudding with brandy sauce for afters, very traditional,but there were lots of other choices including vegetarian. We all had a great afternoon,and we have booked to go there again next year, 10 out of 10 from us, huge thanks.from the Triangle (Ipswich)...
