I recently attended a private business event at this restaurant with over 80 people. I was pleasantly surprised by the sophisticated and welcoming atmosphere, which was not what I expected from a restaurant located in a college. The food was delicious, especially the belly pork, which was one of the best I have ever tasted. I appreciated being able to see into the kitchen to watch my food being prepared, and the staff remained calm and collected despite having to serve a large crowd. The value for the quality of food was exceptional; I have paid much more for lesser quality at other restaurants in Ipswich. Chef Whites is now my new favorite place to eat.

Visited Chefs Whites for our cousin’s birthday which co-incided with the start of their Christmas lunches. It was our first visit having seen an ad on FB in the Summer. Well, the food, ambience and staff were truly amazing, we will certainly be returning! Couldn’t fault anything! Well done Chefs Whites!

Another fabulous dinner, this one was a 7 course taster menu. Every course was exceptional and wouldn't be amiss in any fine dining restaurant. Truly amazing what these young people can do. Would definitely recommend.
