Anyone got any ideas for a decent pub : (Food, beer and Tellies with the football on) other than the one over the road from the station?
I'm going after being persuaded by the Mrs. She must be up to something.

Now this depends what you mean by a good pub!
Like pubs in Shephards Bush, all the town centre pubs are forced to prohibit away fans. There are ways round this of course, but not one of them would be on my list of recommendations.
Walk along the river front (turning right from the station) & you will come across Issacs. There own brew is on sale here if you like Trads (Briarbank) as well as some Adnams (Ghostship is good). Food is very much pub grub, but there is also a cafe attached to the pub. It is expensive by Ipswich standards but a lot cheaper than London prices!
The far side of the town centre are a couple of real ale favourites. The Fat Cat (Spring Road & too far away for me to walk!) & The Dove (St Helens St). I don't know food wise at the Cat but the Dove is very basic & probably not what a wife would want . Allow for up to 30 minutes walk to the ground.
A bit nearer is the Spread Eagle (corner of Eagle St & Fore St). Since last year this has been refurbished & is run by a local brewery from Norwich (Grain) who rent the pub. Food is just sausage rolls or cheese platter (both very good) & beeer wise Redwood is my normal selection.
Lager wise I have no idea what is good anywhere in the UK!
I'm sure Stowmarket & others could add further advise, but I hope this helps. | | | |

A before E every time! And what is wrong with a hard shep?
It is now an interesting 6 days since I was last in the Bush! A mere 42* years since I arrived in the Ipswich area.
You must expect me to pick up a little bit of Suffolk in that time!
* I couldn't even get that right! [Post edited 25 Nov 2016 9:33]

I will probably be in the Dove or the grinning Rat next door.It is only a 15 minute walk through town to get to the ground and there is a car park close to the Suffolk College.The Dove is a great real ale pub,but that isn't really my bag,so it may be the Rat for me.Avoid the Water Lily at all costs.Its a sh*thole.
There is a chippy behind the Regent theatre as well as another car park. | | | |

I guess you haven't heard that they have changed the order of the rows this year.Z is at the front and A is at the back.  | | | |
