Supporting Local: Dingley Dell

We’re proud to feature Dingley Dell Pork on our menu, a local Suffolk farm known for its high-welfare, sustainably raised pork.

Run by brothers Mark and Paul Hayward near Woodbridge, Dingley Dell focuses on flavour, ethical farming, and biodiversity. Their pork is a favourite in dishes like our slow-cooked pork belly and seasonal specials.

By working with passionate local producers like Dingley Dell, we’re bringing you food that’s fresh, flavourful, and rooted in our region.

Great food starts with great local ingredients and Dingley Dell delivers every time.

Supper Cruise Sets Sail for a Third Year!

We’re thrilled to be back for the third year running, teaming up once again with the historic Victor Sailing Barge and our sister restaurant Mariners 1900 for the much-loved Summer Supper Cruise, an evening of delicious food and riverside charm.

Enjoy a freshly prepared two-course supper from the kitchens of Bistro on the Quay and Mariners 1900, followed by a relaxing cruise along the beautiful River Orwell, all for just £50 per person. Great food, scenic views, and the magic of sailing, it’s what summer evenings are made for.

Cruises run on Friday evenings until the end of September. This event sells out fast. Book Now.

Our Wine Boutique is here!

As we continue embracing a return to more relaxed dining, we’re excited to share a new collaboration that’s bringing something special to the Bistro experience. Julien has partnered with Wine Boutique, a much-loved independent wine supplier with shops in Felixstowe and Frinton, to reignite Ipswich’s love for great vino.

The partnership brings a carefully curated Wine Boutique space to the first floor of the Bistro, where guests can browse and purchase bottles from a handpicked selection. Even better, you can take your chosen bottle downstairs to enjoy with your meal, making your dining experience that little bit more personal and memorable. Let’s toast to supporting local, celebrating quality, and enjoying the simple pleasures of great food and even better wine.
