Thomas Wolsey Ipswich

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 rare these days!

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 5min walk away.

Really nice pub with a really good selection of drinks. Takes me back to that “local pub” vibe. 100% worth a try.

Went through here on a work Christmas do and had a great time.
Good bar staff, fun live music, clean bathroom, and a nice crowd.
Would go again, 5/5 stars

Lovely pub, excellent beer and wine, reasonable prices. Love the indie music in the background

Busy downstairs but with wonderful old fashioned and historic rooms upstairs with sofas and comfy chairs. Good selection beers and very good service.

Excellent, well kept beers.
The bar staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the beers

Went in on the off-chance and there was a friendly welcome, a few real ales which were well kept and a comfortable atmosphere. All generally clean and quite busy for a Saturday afternoon.

A good place to go for a meeting in the cosy rooms upstairs. And the beer choice is good and it's a sensible price.

Nice atmosphere, had a quick drink before going to a nearby restaurant. The pub serve pizzas and that sort of food, sure I saw a salad on their menu. Worth a visit.

Limited food menu of pizzas but it is delicious. Service is always great and it’s a lovely place for a drink. Upstairs rooms are nice and quiet too

Fantastic pub in downtown ipswich. Great selection of beer and ales on tap. Lovely outdoor seating area surrounded by historic Tudor buildings. The staff were friendly and welcoming and it's just a quick walk to local shopping and public transportation.

Pre footy pint - wouldn't go anywhere else ! It's always prompt service, regardless of how busy they are

A watering hole with charm and character.
There are plenty of ales and beers to whet your appetite.

Had a great time with my wife the performance was great food was nice and friendly staff

Fab pub. Really friendly staff and let us bring our little dog in too.

What a delight such an atmospheric pub with such hidden historical detail. A must when in Ipswich and the manager is so enthusiastic about the hidden gem that is his pub .

A visitor to Ipswich for the football and saw this pub highly recommended. Wasn't disappointed, nice atmosphere, super quick service and an excellent pint.

Did not have any food but a nice venue

Love this place. Wonderful atmosphere. Friendly and helpful staff and management. Made to feel welcome, especially on football match days. Keep up the good work. We all need you.
