The Ship Inn

Set back on a winding road away from the main drag between Ipswich & Felixstowe, Levington is a quiet village set on the northern banks of the Orwell estuary. Indeed the river views & proximity to the wildlife, water & footpaths make this medieval thatched pub a popular stop-off for ornithologists, yachting types & ramblers. There is a ‘no kids & no dogs’ rule inside, so families arrive early on a sunny day to grab a patio table out the front to enjoy the verdant vistas. The kitchen walks a good honest path with its gutsy take on hearty traditional dishes with (surprise, surprise) a strong seafood influence.. Blackboard menus, ale direct from the cask, simple wines & a laid back bustling atmosphere sets the scene.
