Thomas Wolsey Ipswich — Restaurant in Ipswich

My first visit to the Thomas Wolsey and I think it will be my last... Friendly bar staff with a nice atmosphere beautiful character in the building and little rooms tucked away upstairs definitely give the old school pub vibe!

Unfortunately when requesting a dark ale I was lead toward a pale ale (which after tasting seemed off) at the price point of just under £5 to say I was disappointed would be a mild understatement I was offered a replacement with a fresh pint of the same beer which obviously tasted the exact same off taste.. I then discarded the pint and tried a darker ale after guidence of a fellow customer... The beer was OK but by this point one pint had almost cost me £10....

I really liked the feel of the pub... But so disappointed with what I paid for.... I may try popping in again...

Our visits so far have been limited to football match days when it gets super busy and full of home fans. Friendly atmosphere. Historic pub. I have been hugely impressed by the friendliness and speed of service of the staff. They seem to ensure no one gets missed, and in the right order as there are multiple people queuing at the bar. The beer is nicely kept and served. Good variety. Adnams is the main bitter. Not sure if they do food. Would be very happy to return on non match days if we were in Ipswich. Lots of food places close by and the waterfront marina ...

I absolutely LOVE this pub! I especially love the historical look and feel of the place, being literally hundreds of years old, I adore the really friendly staff who're always kind and friendly even when it get's busy, really good selection of drinks at very reasonable prices and I have a great night with my group of friends every time we go there! This is why I chose it for my Gay Social Meetup group, GSM, every other week and we always have a great time! It’s so nice to be able to go to a place that’s genuinely gay friendly too, so...
