The Salutation — Restaurant in Ipswich

Saturday 24th September booked a table for 4 persons arrived 4.30 pre Theatre meal. Ordered some drinks at the bar and was asked to order food at the bar when we had decided. Went to order Scampi, Chicken Burger, Guinness and beef stew was told nothing available, our friend changed to beef burger, I asked for Fish and chips guess non available, was offered chili with rice and Chips! or Vegan dishes not much to pick from so asked for Ribeye steak to be told non left. I couldn't believe it the young lady asked someone else who said some steaks had been served so she checked and came back and said there were two left so I said you best be quick and and save one for me. Then to order more drinks I asked for a pint of Neck oil non available, I then asked for Aspall's cider non available so settled on a lager beer. when our food was served two ladies who arrived later and two more at another table were all served Beef and Guinness casserole. We couldn't believe it when we asked the bar staff why we were told the food list hadn't been updated. We were all disappointed the food we had was ok but not what we had hoped for. This was the first pub we had ever been in where there was a lack of beer and lack of food for a first time visit this was very poor and would not return again if we had just turned up on the off chance of food then I would have understood but not having booked a table a week before hand.

The Salutation in the hiden jewel of Ipswich. From the outside you could easily walk by and not give a second look. Trust me when I say, you must pop inside this pub. The landlord is a chap named Wilson. He adds humour and a caring attitude to his customers, which he shows in abundance. I originate from the east end of London, Wilson, with his charm and caring attitude would fit in perfectly. The chef is an absolute diamond of a chef. She is like everyone's mum, the food is cooked from fresh, and it tastes amazing. The toilets are cleaned to a very high standard, in fact the pub itself is so welcoming and that's thanks to Wilson. Everyone that's looking for somewhere to eat and drink, visit Wilson, landlord of The Salutation pub.... Thankbyou Wilson. Have downloaded that playlist..... xxxx...

Wife and myself decided to try here for the first time tonight for a meal, very disappointed with the quality. My wife decided on fish and chips, I went for the gammon steak and chips etc. after ordering and paying, we were told that they had run out of fish, (even though they were doing a 'fish Friday' offer) so my wife changed to the scampi - a cheaper option - it took my wife to remind them that her option was cheaper to get the difference refunded. My gammon steak was done 'rare' - the first time I've come across this. Don't think that we'll...
