A little bit about us…

Each pub has its own story, character, and loyal locals, but they all share the same welcoming spirit. Whether it’s top-notch sports screenings, quiz nights, or DJs keeping the party going, there’s always something happening. At most of our pubs, you’ll find proper pub grub – with big, juicy burgers and classic fish and chips being firm favourites. And when it comes to pouring a cracking pint, we’ve got it nailed. We serve up real value, a great atmosphere, and a pub experience that’s worth every penny. The Plough in Ipswich is a traditional city centre pub, ideal for our guests to enjoy a quiet drink, a business lunch, or simply somewhere to relax after work. There is a large split-level main bar with a separate restaurant, patio, and other seating areas. We are also extremely popular with football supporters on match days.
