Old Mariner - Suffolk Coastal

Such a great place the bar staff are so welcoming and make a real effort to get to know you and really look after you. I have been in the area only a few months and I have to say the welcome I get here is really great lovely place, lovely garden and great people

To say I’m a regular would be an exaggeration. I go there with my friends a couple of times a month, not living in Woodbridge itself. Very well kept beer. We are definitely talking real ale which in a post Covid world is not always easy to find. Good selection of beers. It is a pub for drinkng not eatng. Courteous and friendly service.

Whilst on holiday we read the reviews on the pub and just had to visit as i wanted to meet this miserable owner as i find i can get on with anyone, well i was put out when i was greeted by 2 smiling girls who could have not been nicer, shared a bit of banter and had a laugh, plenty of draught beers and our quick beer turned into a few more as we sat in the beer garden as the sun went down and thought nothing miserable about this pub for sure! Thanks girls for good service and banter.

My friend asked if they had any milk for her 2yr old. She offered to pay, they said no. She asked if her daughter could have some warm water was again refused. Unbelievable, how can you say no to a young child. He said ' I 'd rather not cos I 'm too busy '

Horrible owner who treats young people awfully. Used to go regularly before they introduced the 21+ rule and it was ok but after it was implemented we were rudely told to get out. As a respectful and friendly group of young people, we were shocked. Last summer a group of around 8 of myself and my friends (all 21 and not at all rowdy) sat drinking in the garden all with alcoholic drinks. Another friend who is 21 but forgot his ID tried to order a non alcoholic drink- was told by the rude owner that he wouldn’t have anyone drinking squash in his garden and refused to let our friend sit with us. Will never go again.
