About this Pub
Why it's great for Matchdays
The Greyhound is geared to Ipswich Town matchdays: the pub states it’s a favourite with supporters before and after home games, is about a 15-minute walk to Portman Road, and even runs a dedicated pre-match “football menu.” In good weather they add an extra outside bar, helping it handle busy crowds. The pub’s own news also describes it as fans’ favourite on matchdays and highlights special initiatives tied to ITFC fixtures (e.g., donating 50p per pint before a Foundation Fixture), indicating strong home-fan custom. Independent coverage likewise notes the Greyhound is very popular with Ipswich Town fans pre-game. Together, this makes it a reliable home-fan hub within easy walking distance of the ground on matchdays.

Amazing food. Staff very attentive and so friendly. One of the best places to eat in Ipswich!
This is by far the best place I have ever been to. The atmosphere is amazing and the staff are absolutely amazing. You get treated with respect and get attended to very quickly. You do not have to wait for anything and the place is very clean and very good. The food is the best around and beats most restaurants around. The menu changes constantly and gives you various options all the time and you dont eat the same things all the time. The chefs are brilliant and the food is brilliant and to a very good standard. I have been coming to this place since I have been in Ipswich and I highly recommend this place. If you are looking for a place to relax or have a beer then go to The Greyhound. If you are looking to go for a meal (Not just pub food) then go to The Greyhound. Overall it's an amazing place with amazing staff and the food is the best around. Please visit and try it yourself and have a good time.
I love the Greyhound, I’m never disappointed. I’d say it’s the best town centre pub in Ipswich based on the customer service and quality of food and drink. Came here on a Saturday late afternoon, food is served until 3.30pm. Ordered a small fish and chips, delicious (pictured). My friend ordered a large fish and chips, double the size Haddock. Had a lovely Gin and Tonic as well. The outdoor area is absolutely lovely and spacious. We received great service from all of the staff, all attentive and super speedy at the bar. Another visit, look at my prawn and salmon fish cakes 🧡
Went for a Sunday lunch. The atmosphere and setting in the garden was nice but the food was a massive disappointment. £25 for 2 slices of beef (that when ordering I was told it was pink, but was more very well done and tough) soggy carrot, soggy parsnip, less than average roasties. The Yorkshire was nice! Won’t be returning 🫤
I came here with some friends when we were visiting a friend in Ipswich. The food was fantastic and it was lovely to sit outdoors on a sunny summer bank holiday. The service was also very friendly and efficient!
