    Food was average fair the mini calamari starter was bland and tasteless, obviously frozen. The burger was ok but smothered in too much sauce

    Had a lovely lunch with some friends and all was good except that out starters were not very warm. We politely mentioned that to the waitress who was apologetic. The Beagle knocked £10.00 from the bill without us asking which we all thought was very commendable. Main courses were very good and piping hot.

    Second visit ever, and second in a month. Return visit for lunch with friends, plus a dog. Not disappointed. Dog made very welcome with treats and fresh water. Dogs restricted to bar area, possibly even a plus as it’s a quieter area but with all the same comforts. Good food and plenty of it served with a smile (and a cheeky quip or two from our waitress from last time), made us feel happy, welcomed……and stuffed!

    I just love going to the beagle as it is so warm and welcoming. The food is alway good. It just makes me feel so comfortable cosy. The staff are so helpful could not ask for more. I certainly have recommended it to friends and colleagues. Great place for me.

    Understaffed, waited nearly 40 mons for drink to arrive. Staff good, very apolagetic for the delays but more staff would have made visit enjoyable. If this is the norm will not be returning.

    Nice restaurant, quite busy but that's a good thing. The service was excellent and the food was very good. Prices are slightly higher than average but you pay for quality.

    9 of us for a birthday meal. 7 meals were good but both the gammon main courses were cold. Eggs over cooked and gammon steaks were thin and over cooked. Did not complain as did not want to compromise the enjoyment of the majority. Serving staff were very good.

    Very enjoyable meal with friends in a lovely warm and welcoming restaurant. Service was great, not too quick or too slow. Adjustments to meals was no problem and the food was enjoyable. Would recommend.

    Amazing roast dinner on Sunday! And unlimited gravy! We had the trio of sirloin turkey and pork belly - meat was tender and delicious.

    My wife and I were looking for a nice place to celebrate our 57th wedding anniversary, We passed the Beagle many times and decided to try it out. We weren't disappointed. The service , the food , and the ambience made for a perfect evening. We thank you.

    My husband and I enjoyed a Sunday Lunch at The Beagle, Ipswich. The Food was excellent and the service was excellent too. In spite of The Fork booking a table for us today The Beagle Management would not accept the Yums I have saved for this occasion. Please tell me why they will not be accepted when The Beagle is listed on your website.

    This pub is a bit off the beaten track but honestly it was better than I expected. Booked for Father's Day as our usual haunts were already fully booked. They had a set 3-course menu which had a good selection of dishes. Both the food and the service was better than expected and they even gave us our deserts in takeaway containers as we were too full! Would go there again.

    As always, food very good and reasonable price. Staff as always very attentive. Don’t see the point of having to put in 120 characters. It will put me off completing this form

    8.5/10

    The food was absolutely lovely, however a waiter seem to be enjoying chatting to his colleagues and giggling a lot rather than noticing that we had finished our first course I would like the menu again. Again we had to wait again to get his attention again for the bill total of 25 minute wait between the courses for him to hear me calling him . In the end I caught a lovely young lady waitress and she stepped up very quickly and sorted us out very professionally. I will go there again and hopefully Ill have the young lady and not the young man serving my table.

    I was very pleasantly surprised as our last visit to the Beagle was not very good at all (I hasten to add that this was many years ago though). This time the food was good and the pub was warm and inviting. The service was very good, our waitress was friendly and polite. We will definitely be back.

    Everything about our lunch was really impressive, from the service to the food. We all had a different main course which was hot, tasty and appealing. Will definitely go there again.

    6.5/10

    Venue and service was very good. My King Prawn stater was very bland accompanied with just a few leaves. My lamb cutlets were very tough. My partner’s mushroom starter was grossly overpriced for the simplicity of the dish (a small bowl of mushrooms with some melted cheese). It was also disappointing that a special menu offer shown on The Beagle web page was not available as this was our main reason for booking here

    Food was lovely, but the service was very slow. Took ages to get anyone's attention to bring us a dessert menu, and no one checked to see if we wanted drinks replenished.

    I went with my wife and we found the food very poor, It was our first visit for over 2 years due to the lock down etc. I had the Hunters Chicken Schnitzel this was over cooked and dry with a small strip of bacon on top with a tiny amount of cheese, Very poor value! The chips were soft in the middle but not crispy on the outside how they do that when they call them triple cooked I do not know. My wife had the Sea Bass and the skin was soft and slimy not crispy like it should be, and there was no Samphire on the plate, To follow she had chocolate brownie and had the Irish Liqueur Ice Cream replaced with a sorbet and they charged me a extra 50p for this (she cannot eat cream) I think it will be another 2 years before we go back.

    Staff were good, food was ok, the duck salad was disappointing, duck very dry and it must have been a duckling as there was very little duck. Salmon and pizza was as expected.

    Love The Beagle, nothing is too much trouble the staff are attentive but don’t rush you very polite and helpful. The food is gorgeous, I don’t usually eat three courses but I have to in the beagle because the food is exquisite, I come away feeling full but not bloated, relaxed and comfortable.
