Fish 'n' Chips in Waveney

I had a great roast dinner, but the experience was completely undermined by the dessert. After a few mouthfuls, I noticed it tasted off and had a strange smell. I sent it back, and was told by the waitress that while the cream was still in date, the chef had smelled it and agreed it had turned. He then passed on the message that I’d be fine and wouldn’t be charged. Frankly, that’s not good enough. If the chef knew the cream had gone off, it should never have been served. And if there’s a question about food safety, he should have spoken to me directly—not passed the message through someone else. I wasn’t looking for a free dessert—I was concerned about getting sick on the way home. It’s a real shame, because what could have been a great meal ended on a very sour note.

This is a non-pretentious, friendly, great value cafe and bakery. It's very busy, probably because it's so popular, so it might be necessary to wait a little while for the excellent cafe service. I enjoyed a full English breakfast whilst my husband had something similar. Happily for us, this cafe was also dog friendly. Whilst there, I did hear another customer waxing lyrical about the quality of their fresh bread. Unfortunately we were leaving Southwold the next day, so had no excuse to buy bread ourself.

This is a regular stop off for us...the pizzas which come with a drink are always good value and tasty option. The refillable coffees work well for us. Staff always pleasant, and the layout of the pub works well with lots of individual areas, which can make it feel quite cosy, especially in winter. We will keep returning based on experience.

Hi we went there for dinner, the place was clean and tidy, the service was ok, we were in the rear restaurant which was pleasant but had no atmosphere. The food was ok but not quite the standard of other places we have visited in the area. It’s worth a visit.

Had a Sunday lunch in here with my partner on Easter Sunday. Absolutely fantastic food with a great range of drinks to choose from at the bar! Can’t recommend this place highly enough. If you haven’t had a chance to get down and give this place a look since they reopened make sure you do!
