Ye Olde Bell & Steelyard in Suffolk Coastal

Friendly and helpful staff in a cosy pub with an oft+changing and well-kept selection of beer.

Great little pub with a roaring log fire, exactly what you need on a cold night.

Awesome staff, beautiful old pub, lovely back yard, great drinks selection!

Clean, friendly atmosphere. Beautiful beer garden. The landlord has worked to create a lovely calming environment in the beer garden, which is a little gem, and the micro climate allows you to bask in sunshine. Dogs welcome. Beer Greene King what's not to like. Definitely will be on our regular list.

Only stopped for a drink but stayed for two. It was comfortable and the beer was in very good condition. 3 separate seating areas plus a garden.

If only all pubs were like this one! We walked through the door into a buzzing space, heated by a blazing fire and immediately welcomed by cheerful bar staff. Quite literally the best burger meal I’ve ever eaten.

Good pub with lots of character and interesting beers. They recently had a lorry break off the steelyard hanger from the top of the building and so there is scaffolding on the front. But the bar is still open and has lots of character. Very welcoming and cosy.

I was unexpectedly in Woodbridge and sought out a historic pub with good food and a good selection of real beer. The hospitality I hoped would also accompany these requirements. I was not disappointed. This pub is at least a three centuries old and was a former steel workshop as denoted by the name. It still has the winch outside, though damaged by a passing tall lorry at the moment. As you would expect there are not right angles here, walls, doors and floor are all on the wonk and part of the reason I love pubs like this. We were greeted warmly and the excellent and helpful hospitality continued to us out of towners. I would therefore say that although every pub needs its locals, any person visiting the town will receive a lovely reception here. Three well kept real ales, the two I tasted were great. From the traditional menu we chose cod (fresh from the mongers that morning) and chips and the steak and kidney suet pudding. Cod was good quality and the batter so crispy, almost tempura, that I wish my local fish and chip shops could equal it. I have not had a steak and kidney pudding for years and remember it as quite stodgy. Not here. The suet pudding is the lightest I have eaten and it's great to see someone still putting kidneys in it. Lovely rich gravy to go with the buttery mash and creamy leeks. With both meals we had chunky chips which tasted twice fried :) - don't quote me on that. Wish I lived closer as I would be in here all the time. Maybe I'll retire here.

Lovely place nice food and great company And with that company I mean the lovely dog

Bar-billiards! The greatest sport known to man. Reliable and varied selection of beers, many of which are local. Interesting mix of rugby sports bar on one side and good old fashioned old-man pub on the other. Well stocked, paved garden with cover. Only one way in or our so easy to keep an eye on your kids.
