Cliff Top Cafe in Suffolk Coastal

Very relaxing cafe with great views of the sea. Suitable for all ages & dog friendly too. The sandwiches are freshly made & huge, the all day breakfast is very good and there is also a specials menu. Although we were too full to enjoy any, the cakes looked delicious too. I’ve been back time & again & never tired of this cafe.

Had a great time here yesterday 30/3/24. Most notable, apart from the lovely cakes a and hot food selection, was the staff. The young man and two girls were so friendly and engaging. Whist preparing our coffees, were had a laugh and I can't compliment them enough.

A lovely spot with very friendly staff and good food. However I think that the recent change requiring you to carry your own drinks when sitting outside is potentially dangerous. It would be OK if the doors opened automatically and there was a clear unobstructed path to the outside with no dogs or children in the way, but anyone that uses this cafe knows it's not like that. Someone is going to fall and hurt themselves here or spill boiling liquids on a child. I think the owners needs to think again.

first visit, very nice cosy feel, busy happening place and not overly expensive either, friendly staff and it appears to be a very popular place, will go back for sure

As usual quite busy and when its busy it can be very load and noisy inside. Service and food always very good.

A table over looking the sea, a perfect place for a perfect breakfast. All items, sausages, bacon, eggs, mushrooms, plus the toast and marmalade were outstanding, I would guess locally sourced as each and every mouthful was a taste experience. One thing that so many places get wrong, the Cliff Top Cafe have nailed - a large breakfast comes on a large plate. Not sure I should really be reviewing as it's busy enough already and a wait was inevitable, but one does have to wait for quality..

Always good food and service with lovely staff but sometimes rather noisy inside with the chatting. You may have to queue for the toilet if you need it as there is only one male/female shared.

Had a superb breakfast today. Egg, bacon, sausages, fried tomato and toast and marmalade. Beautifully cooked and served quickly. Thank you. Another lovely meal from you.

A lovely cliff top cafe very friendly staff and quick service lots of different food on offer a good place to sit and take in the view

I was very impressed by the building let alone the food etc… Cliff top cafe, i expected a typical seaside town cafe but was pleasantly surprised to find a magnificent building, overlooking the gardens, with indoor and outdoor seating. The service was excellent, we ordered fish and chips and drinks from the counter. The drinks arrived very quickly followed swiftly by our meals. The coffee was great but the fish and chips were outstanding (not sure if I’ve ever had better)! Eagerly consumed whilst looking at the sea views. What a splendid day we had. This is definitely worth many more visits!

Well, what can I say! Today I went with my dad and my son, we all had fish and chips, by golly they were the BEST we've EVER had! Honestly, no dry fish here! Beautiful light crispy batter. Exceptional! We will be back!

Lovely cafe... Plenty of choice including vegetarians like me.... Very rceasonable prices.. Clean inviting space with great art work you can actually purchase.... Food very tasty.. Well presented... Credit to all the staff.....

We certainly won’t be eating here again. We ordered 4nr cooked breakfast of varies sizes with with varioys hot/cold drinks. Firstly, they ran out of mushrooms with no alternative to offer or reduction of cost. The breakfast then took a hefty 45 minutes to be served and to add insult to injury, when we decided or to stay for a further cup of tea we were told that we weren’t allowed to share a pot of tea for 2 i.e. one pot of earl grey one pot of English tea for four people ??!? I was astounded we were all astounded after spending over £40 here and willing to stay and spend more. It all started off very nice and all and very sour so we will not be eating here again with friends, family or otherwise.

As a retired couple we like to eat lunch out, and have visited dozens of places. This place is top of the list by a good margin. The food is consistently good, the staff are lovely and the views are wonderful.

Great views from cafe. Good menu, with plenty of choice. Delicious cakes. Excellent service. Dog friendly, dogs to stay on leads and on floor. Delicious food. Art on walla for sale. Dog treats available to purchase

Lovely sea view cafe with good food and friendly staff. However this pleasurable experience was spoilt by sharing it with loud, yapping dogs in a relatively confined space. I feel that in the winter months having noisy dogs barking at each other, will put off...

Without any doubt, The Cliff Top Cafe, offers you the very best cooked breakfast in all of Felixstowe, the Staff are friendly, and the cafe / premises is Spotlessly Clean, and their prices are very reasonable,

A great cafe with a lovely view. We have eaten here many times and the food is always consistently good and excellent value. Staff are friendly and attentive.

First time go to this beach and find this cafe on the top cliff, we seat outside and have sea view, we ordered tasty scones with cream and jam. This cafe make me have reason to go this beach again. when you walk up cafe,...

Great location on cliff top with views of the sea and in and outside seating. Very friendly staff. Good food. I’d recommend the cheese scones with coffee…and the excellent breakfasts - with a choice of sizes. It can get busy - but that’s a sign...

Great service with a smile and great food, topped off by the view Took the pooch which was made to feel welcome Will be back very soon

Fabulous food, lovely friendly staff, one of the best, if not the best settings and sea views in Felixstowe. Have been several times. Always a delight.

Incredible cream tea. Lovely pot of tea. Average breakfast as no beans or any type of potato. But sausage and bacon were lovely quality. Will go for sandwich next time to try.

Food and service is amazing every time we visit. Lovely sea views and outdoor seating available. We are local, and there is nothing comparable on the front.

I have missed this place and so glad to be back after such a long time . Being a Monday we were unsure if it would be open but glad to see that it was . We both had Fish Finger sandwiches . What a...

Our first visit for a long time and it was encouraging to see that all the outside seating was occupied though we preferred to sit inside. Polite service apologizing for the delay in serving us (at the counter) though we were pleased to see it...

A fab location with excellent sea views for this cafe with delicious food & good, friendly service. Excellent cake too. Definitely recommend a visit.

Met up with 9 friends! Delicious scones! Excellent service. The cakes looked fabulous but too full of scone and cream. Beautiful view of the sea even when the weather outside is awful!! Well worth a visit.

CLIFF TOP CAFE FELIXSTOWE ( Chilli & chives) An honest review First time visiting after living in felixstowe for 22 yrs and only finding out about it a few months ago and was looking forward to going to it however they dont do jacket spuds or wholmeal bread so all i had was a diet coke ..hubby ordered the scone & coffee which he said was nice and i ordered the omelette for my autistic 15 yr old daughter .. We were told a 40 - 45 min wait which she decided was fine And tried to use the free wifi while waiting however we couldnt connect to it even though we used their password . So 45 mins later ppl who came in after us are getting their food and no sign of my daughters food ...so i give them a few more minutes ...so it gets to 1 hr and still no sign of food ...so i asked for my money back & was told sorry & that the food was given to someone else outside by mistake ! ...was told they could start cooking now but i refused so was offered a slice of cake or a cup of tea for my troubles ...but said my child was hungry for a meal so wanted to go somewhere else now so took the money & left ...im sorry but this was my first ever visit and first impression count & will not be going back again !..also didnt like the fact that the chips are just sitting on open trays behind the serving counter in full view of customers & flies

Tucked away above the gardens on the front , this was a good place for lunch. Scampi and chips and fish cake and chips. Nicely done and sensible sized portions. Friendly young staff. More than happy to return.

Just inside the door, to the left is a large table, lots of cakes etc all under plastic domes, beside these are serviettes, forks and spoons, pile of plates all looking reasonably nice !!, so we stood there plate in hand just about to make our selection, when from behind the counter a person barked "we get your cakes for you" we were so taken aback that we decided to leave the premises, I do not believe this has not happened before, that a customer attempts to "help himself" from the way the table is laid out, you would at least have a small sign saying as much if this is the way you have decided to sell your food.Basil Fawlty was humerous, this person was a misery ! !i imagine this will now get a simpering reply, "we are very sorry" or " you took it the wrong way" etc

Nice little cafe just up from the sea front. Good coffee nice cakes and GF options for those who need them. Nice to see they are not relying on the view to get people in as some places do 😀

A really nice cafe in a great location serving excellent food. Service is warm and friendly too.Perched on the cliff edge overlooking the sea you can eat outside in a sheltered spot or take a seat in the bright dining room.The breakfasts are excellent as are the fish and chips plus the scones are the best we've had.Try it you won't be disappointed.

We were out for a walk in Felixstowe this morning and came across the Cliff top cafe, tucked away in the trees, a fantastic view of the sea. We had tea and fruit scones with jam, what a change to have proper leaf tea from a pot. The scones were fresh and tasty, the staff friendly and helpful, a good experience.

Ambient and relaxing view with generous all types off coffee with great service. A great place to meet up with family and very casual. The chocolate cake slice was enough for four people and was extremely well presented and the icing was triumphant.

We often visit this cafe - as a couple or meeting friends here. Fantastic views and great cakes - my partner loves the fish & chips. However, when everyone is having a meal, as a vegetarian the only option for me is a toasted sandwich. Maybe a basic pasta option for veggies could be included on the menu?

Great welcome. Dog friendly. Lovely staff. Good menu. Lovely setting looking out to sea. Will definitely return

I tried this place for lunch to avoid a walk back into town. The young lady at the cash desk who took my order was friendly and professional. It being a weekday there were plenty of spare tables outside, which is where I sat. The fish and chips arrived eventually, but the bored looking waitress just plonked the plate down and rushed off. Would I have liked vinegar? Yes! Would I have liked salt? Yes! Unfortunately I wasn't asked and neither of these condiments was on my table. I spotted a salt cellar on another table and quickly claimed it as mine, while the strong easterly wind cooled my food rather quickly.

We were introduced to this lovely little cafe located on the top of the spar gardens overlooking the sea. The views are amazing and the quality of food excellent. This really is a little Gem !!

exspensive for a cafe charging restaurant prices for food, no vegan options on menu. Good selection of cakes. Good for dog walkers, good location with nice views.

Visited the Cliff Top Cafe for a morning coffee and scone with friends and found the service and food very good. The cafe is dog friendly and, whilst I have nothing against that, I think there should be some rules regarding this. I was shocked to see a dog sitting on a seat and at some points it had its head on the table and was drooling onto the table surface. The tables are wooden porous ones and this appears to be very unhygienic (particularly as, once the owners and dog had left new customers came and sat at the same table without it being wiped down). Whilst this is the fault of the dog owner I do think the staff should have asked for the dog to be on the floor.

Ordered a pot of tea for two and two cheese scones,about fifteen minutes later the tea arrives but no scones....

Lovely find in a beautiful location. Nice outdoor area for those sunny days. We had coffee and lovely home made cakes. Staff were friendly and we will call in next time we are down in felixstowe for lunch.

We had an excellent lunch on a wet and windy day whilst viewing the wonderful art works around the walls of the cafe. My friend bought a beautiful mesmerising print. Look forward to warmer days, when we can sit outside overlooking the gardens, beach to the sea.

Elevated on the cliffs giving a great view of the sea, perfect place to stop for refreshments. Very friendly staff, amazing cakes and a nice environment to sit and catch up with friends. Visited many times and always look forward to going back.

We usually stop here if we are at this end of Felixstowe ( usually once a week ) , we always have either coffee and cake or coffee and scones , sweet or savoury both are very good. What can I say , good food , well cakes anyway not tried the meals always have one cake that is not run of the mill that all other places serve. Our favourite place when out for a stroll.

After a Sunday walk along the sea front we stopped for lunch at the cliff top Cafe. We sat outside with a nice view of the sea. There was a decent choice, we had fish and chips and fish cake and chips, it was tasty and the service was quick and friendly. The cakes and scones looked lovely. Would definitely visit again.

We’ve been to this cafe on numerous occasions for tea & cake which is delicious so thought we would try the fish & chips for lunch, it was very disappointing thick greasy batter on the fish & hard greasy bits of potato for chips. Did complain to the grumpy waitress when she asked if everything was ok with my meal it obviously wasn’t as I’d left it but all she said was oh dear! Hasn’t put me off going there but will stick to cake & scones in future.

We happened upon this perfectly positioned cafe just wandering up to take a look at the ‘Felix Hotel’ we ordered two Cappuccinos and a scone with clotted cream and jam. We sat ourselves outside with the sea in front of us. FINALLY an establishment that serves coffee in a correct sized cup which tasted wonderful and the scone was delicious!!!!!! Must add that this all cake to less than seven pounds!!!!! AMAZING VIEW. TASTY COFFEE. Great scones and friendly efficient staff. We will be back!!!!!

Visited this cafe two times now, have to say lovely place to have drink and bite to eat, staff were very friendly

Breakfast was superb, hot and very tasty. Included in the price of £7.75 is bacon, egg, tomatoes and sausage - and masses of wonderful toast, butter and marmalade which is to die for.

Was recommended this lovely place by a friend,so myself and my partner had our breakfast before we went exploring Felixstowe. Tasty and of very high quality. Very friendly staff. A wonderful view of the sea is bonus.

Nicely placed above the seafront gardens. Tables inside and out. Friendly staff. Great place to relax ....read the papers, drink a coffee and nibble a cake whilst the world walks along the front.

We were very impressed with the lovely location overlooking the gardens and sea. My friends had cream teas and I had a huge slice of Victoria sandwich cake. All were really delicious. Two large pots of tea between the three of us was good too! It was nice to see that dogs are welcome inside and out. The staff were really friendly. Will be returning soon.

We enjoyed a lovely coffee and scone at the cafe after a walk along the Heritage Trail. Beautiful views of the gardens and the passing ships and boats. Very friendly staff.

Just a few snacks at the cafe. Good drinks, chips and chocolate cake! Good service and views. Bit pricey but enjoyable visit. Thank you, will come again !!

Great place to have lunch above the beautiful Felixstowe gardens. Outside and inside dining. Super food and staff very pleasant. Overall a very nice dining experience.

Stopped here for tea, coffee and cake on a cold wet winter's day after walking our dog along the promenade. What a nice surprise to find we could go inside with our small dog rather than sit outside on the veranda.

Today is the third time I've been to the Cliff Top Cafe. To be called a 'Cafe' is under stating it's real worth. This place is quite amazing in every way. It is one of those eateries that has the perfect blend of good prices, high quality food, excellent service and a good atmosphere. It is worth our travelling the seventy miles to get there.

Had a delightful breakfast Sunday at this cafe, was very busy after the beast from the east kept us all in the cooler. Very good quality food, friendly staff and nice views so worth a visit as well priced as well.

Lovely full English breakfast. Earl Grey tea in teapot which kept the tea hot during our whole visit. We could take our dog in which was a bonus in the cold weather. Very friendly service.

I had never been here before, but what a lovely little place, panoramic views. Gorgeous cakes and good service. My only concern was the fact that my friend has a severe fish allergy, and she wanted some chips. She was unable to have them as they sometimes used the chip fryer for fish when busy. At least they were honest about it! I had a lovely salad. Would recommend this place.

This tea room has a wonderful cliff top location with such a lovely view out to sea. We had the chocolate cake and coffee and walnut cake which were both delicious!

Lovely cafe with very kind helpful staff

My first time to the Cafe, a lovely place, clean and the food and coffee excellent. The staff were very friendly and efficient. Beautiful views of the sea, seating inside and outside. Well worth a visit.

We stumbled on this place when we were unable to get fish and chips from another seafront hotel. The view is lovely, half way up the 'cliff' with a shady sun terrace and a spacious indoor dining area. We were immediately taken with the selection of home baked cakes just inside the entrance. It was very busy and we were told it might take up to 45 mins for our meals, so we satisfied ourselves with cake for starters... The coffee is very good, I had a pot of redbush (loose leaf, very tasty) and the chamomile looked like it was freshly picked. the food when it arrived was a sensation. My son (14) couldn't finish his burger and chips (which is an event in itself) he devoured the burger and we finished the chips... which were that perfect blend of fluffy and crunchy. the fish was cooked to perfection and the batter was light and crispy.

We always come here when in Felixstowe. Met up with a friend and we had coffee with a cheese scone and scones with jam and cream, all very good. Next time my niece and nephew had Bakewell tart which was great and Lemon Drizzle and Chocolate cake which were a bit dry. Lovely view of the promenade. The staff are very friendly and dogs are welcome.

Yummy breakfast on the veranda at this beautiful location overlooking the beach on a warm sunny morning, with the sun glistening on the sea in this lovely town - wow!

We popped in for a cup of tea and some cake, the staff were all very friendly and attentive, the tea was perfect, loose leaf, so much flavour and the cake was amazing. All very reasonably priced Would definitely recommend

We like to use the cliff top for its location, good service, and the friendly helpful staff. There is a limited choice of food, but standard is always good. As well as good views if sitting outside in the summer, there is always some interesting art wrok on the inside walls. Good value for snacks or lunches, we have been several times, and will go again.

Travelled over 75 miles to go to Felixstowe and visit this cafe based on good reviews from Trip Advisor - only to find a huge sign outside saying "Closed On Tuesdays"

Das Cliff Top Café in Felixstowe ist tatsächlich top. Eingebettet in einen Cliff-Garten, von Palmen und Blumen umgeben, so ca auf der Hälfte der Klippe gelegen, hat man von der Veranda aus die schönsten Ausblicke auf die wilde Nordsee. Der Innenraum des Cafés ist tatsächlich nur ein einziger großer Raum mit einer Theke auf der einen Seite und Bildern von Lokalkünstlern an den Wänden zwischen den Fenstern. Die Kunst kann man natürlich auch kaufen. Die Bedingungen sind meist junge Studenten, was zum Flair beiträgt. Der Kaffee ist preiswert aber etwas schwach, der Tee, wir sind ja in England, ist umso besser. Neben der Terrasse sind die Kuchen das absolute Highlight. Die sind alle selbstgemacht und man kann gar nicht mehr zu essen aufhören, also nicht in der Fastenzeit hierher kommen.

Visited with a friend for first time.There's access from sea front including disabled. No parking designated and about 10 minutes if you get parked on beach side up hill.Big selection of interior seating and plenty set up outside as it was a sunny day. Beautiful views.Ordered cake with a latte and an Americano. Served quickly. It was 4pm and closes at 5pm. Coffee and walnut cake delicious and had to leave a bit it was so big.

One of my favourites. A really decent pot of tea and splendid lemon drizzle for my wife but the brie and bacon sandwich for me. Splendid lunch as always.

Lovely visit here with excellent service! Stunning views over the sea while you eat or drink. Lovely cakes and a good pot of tea. We went back several times during our stay as we loved it here. Can sit inside or out.

Was recommended this lovely cafe from a work colleague. Enjoyed tea /coffee and cakes on Sunday. Dog friendly, friendly staff and beautiful setting. Will return for a lunch very soon

Fantastic little place just right for popping in to enjoy really good home made and home cooked food. What a little gem. So pleased we found dead this wonderful eatery.

Popped in for lunch having passed below this cafe lots of times on my way back and forth along the prom. So glad that I did as it it in a lovely position with great views over the refurbished gardens and out to sea, both of which we took full advantage of from the outdoor seating. Service was smiley, friendly and efficient and the cafe itself is very nice inside with the added bonus of original art work on the walls. Food is very good and the sandwich my daughter had was so large she didn't know whether to eat it or climb it, also it had a side order of the best home made coleslaw I have ever tasted. Well worth the small climb up the path to visit and we will be back.

We have been here several times recently - often for fish and chips. Had that again today - superb. Really lovely piece of haddock cooked with care. Thank you.(We used to go elsewhere in Felixstowe. This is every bit as good, you get a cafetiere and a large teapot of loose leaf tea. Great view of the sea which is uninterrupted, AND it is cheaper than the well known local alternative.)

really good cakes and coffee, mainly elderly customers, furniture a bit basic could do with a couple of sofas. Meals are good and local artwork (to buy) is on the walls.

A lovely cafe with great views. The perfect place to stop for a light lunch or to have tea and very yummy cakes. Highly recommend the coffee cake and Tiffin.

Lovely little cafe overlooking Felixstowe gardens and sea front. Pleasant service, food and situation. Would be happy to recommend and look forward to returning again. Wanted to eat so muck on the menu (particularly the cakes). And most importantly for me; dogs are allowed in.

This has to be my favourite cafe in Felixstowe. Perched above the cliffs with panoramic views looking out over the North sea, there's nowhere better to get a bite to eat, particularly on a clear, sunny day.The proprietor, ( a Michael Ball lookalike ) is, just like the singer himself, a real friendly people person who loves having a chat to his customers. Him, his wife and staff are very pleasant and will always welcome you with a smile.The cafe is in a lovely old Edwardian house and in prime position for observing the huge cargo vessels and monster container ships as they navigate their way through one of the world's busiest shipping lanes en-route to and from Felixstowe's ever expanding container port. Seeing this repeat operation through the café's panoramic windows is extremely interesting, absorbing, if not exhilarating.The cafe serves some seriously, great home-cooked food and, whether you want just a sandwich, baguette, cake or proper meal, it's always tasty, fresh, well presented and good value for money.If you order a sandwich, baguette, panini or ciabatta it's always served with a little salad garnish and a portion of fresh, home made coleslaw which is delicious – as well as being a nice touch! I particularly like their large, freshly baked fruit scones with strawberry jam and cream. Yummy! Their rock cakes and teacakes are also brilliant. But equally, I just love their wonderful selection of cakes which always look so inviting! In fact, there's a table strategically placed and set aside, laden with them, so that when you enter the cafe, it's the first thing you see - and smell! Super!Various gateaux, lemon drizzle cake, jam and cream sponge, cheesecake, chocolate cake, coffee and walnut cake, and my favourite, carrot cake, adorn the table! All these cakes are baked to perfection and mouthwatering - and I can tell you, that's through experience!It really is a great dining experience to eat at the Cliff Top Cafe, even more so if you're lucky enough to get a table in front of one of the panoramic windows looking out to sea. The cafe is always clean, and with efficient, friendly and polite staff, a cosy, relaxing atmosphere with stunning views over the North Sea, without a doubt, this place is the jewel in the crown of Felixstowe's eateries.It's also nice when it's a really hot day to sit outside and catch the gentle sea breeze whilst having your coffee - and a large piece of cake!.... Superb! Roll on the summer! YumYum!Happy dining.... Lee

Went to Cliff tops for a Saturday lunch. Haddock and chips and sausage ciabatta were superb with a large pot of tea. Large portions but still managed Victoria sponge and lemon drizzle to follow. Can't fault our visit at all. Excellent quality food that was not overpriced.

Our last visit was mid afternoon on a Saturday and this lovely cafe was decidedly off form. With the friendly owner occupied in the kitchen his young, friendly staff let him down somewhat.Our order was forgotten completely and then when I reminded the young staff member it was still delivered incomplete.We readily forgive this blip as the food is consistently good and the cafe is a beautiful place to spend time gazing out to sea on a winters afternoon but the weekend staff despite their best intentions do need some training otherwise the charming owner will never be able to leave the front of house! Where do I know the owner of this place from? Was he a footballer for Ipswich Town or a local Policeman, frustrated that I can't place him.

A good place to halt for a while when walking on the seafront of Felixstowe. Try the fish and chips at lunch time and the tea and cakes to follow!

Pleasant place to take a break and enjoy homemade, home cooked real food. Don't be in a hurry, relax and enjoy.

Visited Cliff top again after 2yrs away. Nothing has changed, only in our view it has got better, the service is pleasant & efficient by all the staff. Our dog Stanley was allowed in with us, which is a big bonus. The owner is such a good host and is always welcoming along with the staff. The FOOD, is excellent, well cooked, evenly priced, and well presented. Anyone to Felixstowe MUST visit CHILLI & CHIVES. A great place to eat is worth the visit. Regards Paul, Lynne, & Stanley.

We don't often walk this way so to find this lovely little restaurant with views to rival many continental places (on a fine day!) was a delight. Both had sausage ciabatta which was served reasonably quickly by friendly staff. Particularly impressed by young man with Afro hairstyle who instinctively swooped on a piece of paper that had blown off a table near us. I've been in 'posher' places where the staff would have ignored it. Only minor fault was our table (I think most outside similar) was on a slope so had to be a bit careful although the management had clearly tried to cater for the slope. I liked the look of their fish & chips so will have to return!

Lovely sunny Sunday and a walk on Felixstowe prom. Decided to try a local place rather than heading to one of the high street chains in town. The place had a few tables occupied outside and one or two inside, so when we were informed that there was a half an hour wait for food we shrugged and said okay as we were sitting in the sun admiring the view.The coffee arrived and tasted like the dregs of someone else's cup, so it was changed for a cafetiere which was a little better. After 40 minutes waiting we asked if our food was on its way as then table next to us had been served and they arrived and ordered after us. Food arrived at the hour mar. Two toasted sandwiches, then 5 minutes later a scampi and an omelette. The food was average and not really worth the wait. No apology or an offer of a complimentary drink. I wouldn't bother going in again, even with no wait.

Had fish and chips here a number of times. The food is excellent and the restaurant is very clean. The staff are all friendly and polite. Well behaved dogs are allowed which is just brilliant! We will be back.

Sadly the staff were grumpy and dismissive. The cream tea consisted of a rock cake rather than a scone. The bakewell slice was not worth the price. However the location was lovely and we sat outside which was calm, and the gardens overlooking Felixstowe were pretty.
