Old Millars Bar & Restaurant

The Old Millars is situated across from the pier on Felixstowe front so it it well situated for families during the tourist filled summer. The unusual building is eye-​catching and deceptively small as once inside the bar is split into four sections on three different levels.
The décor is very ‘woody’ with the usual ‘stuck to the ground’ lamps and ornaments and there is even a couple of bird baths in one section.
The food is fine with it standard pub grub ranging from fish and chips to steak. What really pulls in the crowds is the carvery though which is a good deal for the amount you get.
The small TV over the entrance is a little weird as if there is a crowd and you walk in it can feel like its a wedding or a surprise birthday party. However, the crowd is really friendly and the beer selection is large.
The manager welcomes a good chat and waitresses are polite. The only downsides being that in winter it can go a little quiet and the multicoloured eyesore next door does not help pull in the crowds.
On the whole, its a great family pub, which does regular offers (check their website) and although its not as modern as the Alex, or Bencotta it has a special place in the heart of Felixstowe.
