About The witch hotel bar and restaurant

This independent West Ipswich corner pub trades in genuine community character, cold pints, and generous portions. Regulars head straight for the chicken parmi—crumbed thick and sauced heavy—or tackle massive steak sandwiches stacked with fresh ingredients. Tucked away at the back bar, five to six taps pour locally sourced craft brews away from commercial macro-lagers. Pull up a stool for Wednesday parmi night, catch some live music, and settle in with a cold craft pour.

  • Generous Classic Parmi Plates: The kitchen dishes up oversized chicken parmis and crumbed snitties, anchoring a dedicated Wednesday special.
  • Local Craft Beer on Tap: A dedicated back bar keeps five to six rotating taps pouring craft beer from regional breweries.
  • Independent Pub Heritage: A privately run watering hole retaining nostalgic, old-fashioned pub charm and live music.
