The Dog Inn, Grundisburgh

I went with a friend to the Grundisburgh dog a couple of weeks ago and the atmosphere was cosy and the food fresh and tasty. I had a main course portion of the field mushroom with hand cut chips and then a bread and butter pudding which was one of the specials. The chips were really good and unlike some pubs (Shannon Inn at Bucklesham) you do not get four pieces of potato stacked on a plate masquerading as hand cut chips, but a proper decent sized portion. I would recommend the GD and I will certainly go again.

The Victoria Inn, Felixstowe

The Victoria Inn is now a huge disappointment. The upstairs dining room was extremely loud due to the large party celebrating there and the food was instantly forgettable. I ordered the macaroni cheese with salad and garlic bread and I received a child's portion complete with a small amount of garnish and two cold pieces of garlic bread. After eating the macaroni which took about a minute, I mentioned the bread to one of the food servers, the girl took away my finished plate and then returned with hot garlic bread on the already dirty place with the cutlery I had used. My partner complained about this to the management and they took the price of one soft drink and a beer off the tab. We were in and out in 30 minutes as it was too uncomfortable to contemplate staying for dessert. The Victoria Inn is now just a glorified McDonalds, but with smaller portions and there are much better places you can spend your money (Grundisburgh Dog, Ipswich) - even the local tea shops on the sea front, which is where we ended up to finish our meal

The Ship Launch Inn, Ipswich

We visited the Shiplaunch last Saturday, armed with a voucher for money off the main course. There are currently no real ales available, the Adnams "is still settling". The service and food are great, we had the traditional lasagne and garlic bread.I would watch the drinks prices, we paid just over �12.00 for 1 gin and tonic, 1 pint of orange juice and lemonade and 1 cappucino, admittedly in a larger cup. We then had to pay cash as they Management are taking no cards. We felt that our �5.00 voucher actually covered the over pricing of the drinks and wasn't really a genuine offer.
