The Holy Grail - Edit
I don't think there's anything else in Ipswich that can match Hanks in terms of offering vegan options. I mean it's all vegan, you just can't get any better than that! The menu is absolutely stacked too, I don't think I'll ever get to try everything (but I'll have a go). I used the takeout service to pick my food up via the embargo app and it worked perfectly. I'd strongly recommend trying their wraps, hot dogs, and macaroni and cheese if you aren't sure what to go for. It's all a little pricey, but you're getting some incredible food!
Read moreUnfortunately the place is usually really quiet when I go. It's great for me as I hate crowds, but I really do hope people show their support for places like this. We've waited a long time for decent vegan options in the area and now we've finally got our own space. Definitely recommend their other locations in Colchester and Felixstowe too. Show em some love!
Pros: Menu variety , Tastes amazing, Hospitality and staff

Autumn Taster Menu - Edit
I love Hank’s and would 100% recommend to anyone in Ipswich or visiting this way. You won’t be disappointed! 🌱
Read moreOn the most recent visit, we booked for the Autumn Taster menu! And my word the food was unbelievable 🤤 3 courses each beautifully presented and delicious. I should have taken pictures but it was too appetising I didn’t get a chance 😅
Big shout to Elora who provided us with amazing service! So warming, friendly and kind! Not to forget the chef who done an amazing job!
Hopefully this menu is done more often but equally the take out is unreal too! Look forward to going back soon 😁
Pros: Amazing, delicious food 🤤, Extensive menu and variance of dishes 🌱, Wonderful, friendly staff ☺️

Great burgers! - Edit
We were in Ipswich for a wedding and when we arrived at the Airbnb we were exhausted and hungry from our 3.5hr drive, so we ordered food. Hank's it was!
Read moreI had the Korean burger and it was delicious, my husband had the chickn supreme and garlic and thyme fries. He also ordered a chocolate cake but I went to bed before he started eating it (he did say it was great though).
The menu is huge and very varied, so I'm pretty sure there are a lot of gems on there.
Pros: Huge menu, Also sell kombucha , Delivery

Perfect vegan junk food fix - Edit
Plenty of choice, including salads, burgers, hot dogs, loaded fries, wraps and kebabs. We ordered a Carolina BBQ wrap meal and Korean ‘beef’ loaded fries, and both hit the spot. This is the second time I’ve been for lunch and both times it’s been very quiet, which means service is pretty quick.
Read morePros: Lots of choice, Not busy when I went

100% Vegan Comfort Junk - Edit
Really big menu full of comfort favourites ranging from burgers to kebabs to wings to loaded fries and more! I had the chicken wings and waffles whilst my partner had the mixed meat kebab, and we shared a macbig fries. Good portion sizes and the food was all bang on taste-wise. Lots of places to sit inside too if desired.

So many things! - Edit
Went to Ipswich with a friend last weekend and tried this place! The sheer amount of options was overwhelming. Lovely friendly staff and a nice garden to sit in. And the food tasted amazing. I would definitely get fat though if I lived any closer!

Not bad, but not the cheapest. - Edit
Have eaten at a few of the different hanks restaurants over the years since they opened and overall they're pretty good. Although not cheap and at times the quality fluctuating, it's nice to see a solely vegan restaurant.
Read moreSince becoming a hanks 'dirty' however, the food is pretty good for a quick eat, however, I'm not a fan of their burgers.
The kebab however is nice and I would recommend that.

Lovely find - Edit
Came here after a long walk around Dedham. It was such a cosy lil ex pub. I was able to bring my lil fog in which was great. There was so many amazing options I was salivating hearing all the names. I ordered the Korean chicken burger and Caesar fries. The fries did not disappoint. The burger was definately not Korean tasting more just a chicken burger for that reason k dropped a star. We also ordered the brownies after which were mouthwatering. I would defoncomw back here again. Also lovely staff!
Read morePros: Tonnes of options!

Perfect vegan fast food - Edit
We feel really blessed to live in Ipswich with the growing Hanks empire. Geoffrey and the team are always welcoming and the food is excellent.
Read moreAt the ‘dirty’ locations (Lloyds Avenue in Ipswich, and Beach Street in Felixstowe) we usually go for the Big Hank or Ultimate burgers with a side of fries with ghost Malone dust and a portion of Chick’hun tenders. Gravy is also a must for the joy of dipping the chips.
There is so much more on the menu but we’ve not tired of our usual so haven’t been all that adventurous.. yet.

I'd be huge if a lived any closer! - Edit
We don't live close to Ipswich but will go out of our way to incorporate a visit here on other days out, just so we can visit Hanks!
Read moreA huge array of amazingly tasty fast food style options. Nothing is greasy, everything is fresh and hot and honestly the best fast food I have ever eaten.
As a family we have tried burgers, nuggets, dirty fries, hot dogs and mixed kebab and not once have we been disappointed.
We actually had meat eater friends with us on one visit and after finishing their meals, all agreed there was no reason to eat meat when you can still have the same but better tasting versions without the guilt.
If you prefer a sit down meal, Hanks also have a pub in Ipswich, check out their review too. And while you're in Ipswich find Hanks Vegan supermarket and stock up on everything you need!!
Pros: Huge selections, So tasty
Cons: Not very healthy!

Only place when you're craving junk food! - Edit
If you want burger, kebab, dirty fries here is the place. Personal favourites are the mixed doner and the bbq ribs. If you've had a week with too much salad and chickpeas here is the place to fill up. You will be left with a bloated glow!
Read morePros: Lots of options, So so tasty
Cons: May have to wait over an hour on busy nights, Quite pricey for a family
