Welcome to The Duke

We'd like to offer a warm welcome to The Duke from Sally, Roy and the amazing team! We've got an incredible selection of ales, beers, and lagers for you to try, along with regular live music and events that will keep you coming back for more.

Get ready to immerse yourself in the rich tradition of a classic pub that brings people of all ages together. At The Duke Ipswich, we take great pride in our fresh food, all prepared in-house, selection of real ales, craft beers, lagers, wine, and spirits. We're thrilled to offer regular live music events, including the famous Webby's weekly Jam Night (the longest running in the country), two mid-week blues sessions and regular live bands. We also offer two monthly quizzes - a general knowledge one with Dave and Foz's music quiz. With our warm and welcoming atmosphere, we're the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy quality time together. We're a dog and family-friendly establishment with a fantastic team of staff to greet you, as well as a great beer terrace outside. Come and see us to discover all that we have to offer!

Food served Wednesday-Sunday

Join us for our NEW smokehouse menu, proper burgers and stone-baked pizzas! Available Wednesdays to Saturdays. Plus our smokehouse roast on Sundays - a choice of meats (or our veggie option on a pre-order basis) and all the trimmings. Homemade and freshly cooked on the day, you can't beat it!
