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 fi

nd 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.
