Welcome to The Woolpack in Ipswich. Dating back to the 1600s, it is one of Ipswich's most ancient inns and offers the very best in beer, food & hospitality

Your host Marita welcomes you to The Woolpack in Ipswich. Dating back to the 1600s, it is one of Ipswich's most ancient inns and today it is very much a traditional pub full of charm and character. We proudly serve great cask ales and ciders and offer home cooked pub food including breakfast, lunch and dinner every day - and a wonderful Sunday roast lunch too - plus the best fresh coffee you'll find anywhere. We are family friendly and dog friendly, and are just across the road from Christchurch Park. We feel that in so many ways we are simply the best pub in Ipswich - visit us soon and see if you agree.

There’s something grounding about old bricks and mortar…The familiar sight of your local pub on the way home - or on your way out-out, down town or for dinner before a big show. We’ve hosted weddings, birthdays, funerals and everything in between here. We’ve been called a “third space”, whatever that means: somewhere to pass by a few familiar faces, a bowl of water for the dog, a Sunday roast or cheesy chips and board games for the kids. Seven days a week but we’re very often the best bit that completes the week… Welcome to The Woolpack.
