We had been to The Beagle (which can be found off the Ipswich – Hadleight road) some time ago, and thought it was about time we had a return trip.
Having visited the ‘Vintage Inns’ website, we found a voucher giving 2 grill meals and a bottle of wine for £25, which should be good value.
On arriving at The Beagle around 2pm on Sunday we noticed that it did look very busy, with a large amount of cars parked on the road outside, but don’t be put off. There is a large car park to the rear of the pub and we had the choice of several tables inside.
We both ordered the 9oz rib-eye steak at the bar (medium rare) and a bottle of Italian wine, all of which were specified on the printed-off voucher. Admittedly the choice was a little restrictive but adequate considering the price.
The meals arrived in very good time and the steaks were both cooked to perfection, served with chip, peas and a tomato – none of the ‘garnish’ that so often spoils a meal!!
All in all we were very impressed with the quality of both the food and the service, and will no doubt be adding The Beagle to our list of local favourites.
