About Bistro on the Quay

Bistro on the Quay is a Tagvenue Partner. This business has registered with Tagvenue and agreed to our venue partner standards.

Bistro on the Quay is a neighbourhood bistro housed in an airy former warehouse with floor-to-ceiling windows and exposed timber beams.

Venue highlights: The interior uses large windows and high ceilings to create a bright, open setting for private hire, and outdoor tables provide waterside views. An upstairs Wine Boutique offers a curated selection of wines suitable for tastings and intimate receptions. The kitchen supplies seasonal, shareable menus with in-house catering and extensive vegan and vegetarian options.

Best for: Private dining, wine tastings and small corporate receptions.

Location: Ipswich Waterfront; the quay forms a compact marina-side cluster of restaurants and bars and provides a waterside promenade for guests to continue afterwards.
