My first discovery was the take-away coffee shop that they have out the front for those who are on their way to work. I've never seen a pub set one of them up before, and I though that was pretty cool. Mind you, I wasn't looking for a coffee, I was actually looking for lunch, and the owners were more than happy to oblige. They have an assortment of beers of tap, and even offered to give me a taste of one that I hadn't had before to make sure that if I were to buy a pint I would actually enjoy it. This is something that not many of them do - if you order it they give it to you, and if you don't like it then tough. The meals were awesome. I always like my steaks well done, and they certainly cooked it exactly the way I liked it, and my brother thought the sausages were pretty good as well. This is definitely a pub that I would recommend visiting if you happen to be up in Ipswich - it is well worth the time.
