The Queen - Suffolk Coastal

Sunday lunch with the family was a great success. We had a table with plenty of room about it to fit in the high chair comfortably. The service was good and the food excellent. Well above average pub grub. Delicious. My fishcakes were delicate and very tasty and came in quantity. We'll be visiting again.

Really delicious food and great atmosphere. Staff were really attentive and friendly. Faultless and well worth the drive

Having eaten here two years ago for our engagement meal we returned for our 1 year wedding anniversary. Two years ago there was a lovely ambience, lots of locals drinking in the pub and the food was extra special. All the staff were super friendly and it had a really special feel. Unfortunately on returning this year it was like a different place. We had booked for 6pm and were the only people eating at that time with only one other family around. The menu sounded good but when our burger and veggie chilli arrived we were disappointed. The burger patty was very small and served in a bun, the type you might get at a burger van and the fries were clearly frozen ones not fresh cut and fried as we had had two years ago. The food was fine, if a little bland and we didn’t stay for dessert as there was only Eton Mess on the menu. We paid £31 including a cider and non acoolic drink which seemed fairly pricey for what we got. The lady behind the bar was very friendly but we could tell that there were lots of changes going on. Apparently a new menu was coming in the following day and the chef had just started that week. All in all we were disappointed and, for me at least, it put a slight dampener on what had otherwise been a lovely 1st wedding anniversary. I don’t think we will be returning to the Queen unless we could be guaranteed the high level of atmosphere and food we experienced before.

There was confusion over whether we should order at the bar or at the table. The menu was not clear and we had to seek an explanation. The main fish choice was not available and it took an unacceptably long time for the food to arrive. The fish cakes were over done.

Massive pub, great view of the river and it's cheap; what else could you possibly want? I remember going to the Riverside mainly for the cinema, but having
