Flora Tearooms in Suffolk Coastal

Great cod and chips, shame about the dogs on chairs and table. Won't be visiting again with a hygiene risk like that! Shame, as the food is good but whose to say what catch of the day the dog might give you

Flora Tea Rooms, Dunwich Dunwich Would have been a long wait to get a cuppa. 947702802 Had to queue up behind a massive line of people getting fish and chips just to get a cup of tea. Didn't bother in the end. Then on Facebook they post a condescending reply. Shows the professionalism of the owner. I was just stating it's a long wait for a cuppa. I wasn't asking to get in front of other paying customers. They really should get the facts straight before they start with your moronic replies. My feeling is, is that the owner cannot take any form of constructive comment.

Amazing lunch for family of 4. Portions were so big we couldn’t eat it all. Staff were all very friendly. Especially for us fussy eater. Latte was the best for some time.

Frankly the worst Fish and Chips I've ever eaten. We ordered 2 x Cod and 1x Plaice and all 3 meals had extremely watery fish (suspect frozen or very poorly cooked). Served with a handful of McCain style chips. Ironic such poor seafood a stones throw from the beach. The restaurant layout in rows is uninspiring and appears designed to maximise the number of customers over any dining charm. Felt very 1970's. Avoid!

We stopped here for breakfast before a walk. I had some coffee cake, which was amazing. My friend had their vegan breakfast, which she said was amazing as well. We would come again!

Great place and friendly staff! We stopped here yesterday do a quick snack on a muddy cycle ride, we had two pasties and two lattes. The owner at the back is friendly and chatty. I love this place because it does exactly what it says on the tin, simple done well! I often cycle this way for chips with my twin sons in the summer to get them into the forest and away from their screens and never disappointed!

Beautiful location, friendly and helpful staff, tasty food well-priced. Dog friendly. Highly recommend.

We have just enjoyed a fabulous lunch at Flora Tea Rooms. We’re not local so had no idea what to expect from a seaside cafe but what a success; so pleased we parked here and stumbled upon it. We both had cheese omelette as we’re vegetarians but the menu was extensive and the meals going to the other tables looked just as generous and fresh as ours. The chips were to die for and the side salad was so much more than your usual lettuce and cue, with beetroot, peppers and coleslaw too. Being October it wasn’t too busy but a steady stream of people showed how popular it is. Well done the team, you work so well together and provide a friendly efficient service.

We have been here several times before, and each time it has never let us down. The service was warm and friendly, and they really do serve the best fish and chips! The fish portions are generous with just the right amount of batter. And the fish itself is top quality: delicious and clearly fresh. The cchips are as chips should be: chunky, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. We will definitely be back.

Staying in the area for just two days, and visited flora’s on both days. The food was excellent, choosing from the specials board, and very reasonably priced.it was extremely busy on both days, and the weather was superb. What really made it exceptional, was the politeness of the staff, the efficiency and always able to help, and even bringing a fresh water bowl over for the dog. I have lived in norwich for many years and have friends mentioning floras at Dunwich and the fab fish and chips and it lives up to its name.

Wonderful crab salad and new potatoes for £12 Interesting clientele to watch Friendly staff Difficult to beat

This is a lovely Tea Room right on Dunwich beach front. The menu is great and very good value for money! Fresh fish , beautiful! We had fish& chips , best I've ever had! I also had the prawn salad for lunch one day and plate was loaded with prawns! Shame I can't share my pictures on here. Staff really friendly. You can sit inside or out, lots of seating. We also aye at The Ship pub ; never again. £20 for a pint and a glass of wine made London seem cheap! Had the smallest portion of haddock and about 8 chips I've ever seen...so can highly recommend Flora's in comparison for great food. I wanted to have a knickerbocker glory but wa full up from my dinner ...but will return for one! Lovely place.

The fish was very fresh and perfectly cooked. But unfortunately the chips were disgusting. They were processed frozen potatoes. Not freshly chipped potatoes

Visited on Friday lunchtime. Busy place, dog and family friendly with brilliant friendly service and very yummy fish and chips! Perfect location for a walk or beach visit. Thank you so much.

This venue is very handy for a visit to Dulwich Beach, and especially convenient with children/grandchildren. We have visited twice before, without grandchildren and found it acceptable and not more than that. Breakfast is adequate, with sausages being deep-fried, and no such refinements as brown bread. They had shortages of brown sauce-at opening time-10.00 am🤔blaming it on BREXIT- really🤔 Costing £7.50, breakfast-with one item portion is NOT cheap, with toast-white of course, NO OPTION🤔costing EXTRA😱especially with active hungry grand-daughters of 8 and 13. We played on the beach, had a great time, playing ball, building sandcastles, and toe-dipping in the water, until our grand-daughters fancied some chips. They were not real chips as we know it, and probably bought-in for convenience-to the owners of course, which was a shame, as you do not need a Ph.D. in quantum Physics to peel real potatoes, and in view of the pricing structure, this is the least that the owners could have provided. The fish did look very good and £12.50 for a sit-down price choice of three different fish,is reasonable nowadays. It does seem that maximum profit is the mantra here-judging by the prices, and the choice is accept it or bring your own picnic with all the attendant problems and irritations like flies and wasps and sand. All in all, it was/is reasonable, but do not expect anything out of the ordinary for your money, but reiterations that the fish does look good

The restaurant was extremely busy but the menu is limited if you are not a fish eater. Sausages were pretty good but more than one slice of bread would have been better.

Was a bit confused on arrival, no instructions as to where to order, the menu, table numbers or where to pay. Having spoken to the counter staff it was old school, menu on the wall with daily specials, order at counter, give your name, find a table and wait. Wait was worth it, beautiful fish, nice chips and a choice of rolly or mushy peas, delicious!

Visit here for fish and chips after a bad experience last month at a different venue within dunwich, with my partner, daughters & dog and wow what a difference!! Can’t thank these guys enough, great customer service, quick and very tasty food!! Can’t wait to go back again!!

We've been to The Flora Tea Rooms many times and we've never been disappointed. Today's experience was no different. Despite being very short of staff and very busy, the lady serving on the counter, taking orders and money and also dispensing drinks had a cheerful, helpful attitude towards all the customers and, bearing in mind the queue was out the door for hours, that was no mean feat. The food, as always, was excellent, nicely and promptly cooked to order and served in a reasonable time given how busy the place was. We certainly didn't feel like we were kept waiting. We had mains, desserts, bread and butter and a drink each and the bill was less than £30. My husband's plaice was enormous, my cheese omelette served with a large salad and chips was delicious. You really cannot do better anywhere and I'd highly recommend The Flora Tea Rooms to anyone.

Consistently fabulous food , every visit come rain or shine. Fantastic atmosphere, such a lovely destination great view towards the marshlands and sea . Very polite, friendly attentive staff given the popularity of this cafe. Fish and chips best around by far, still ! Generous...

Awful fish and chips tasted of ammonia and my wife's had a hair in it .Did not complain as we were about to leave because there was an influx of 2 coach loads of people and the noise was too much so we left disappointed

Dunwich fish and chips, a most fabulous place to relax with lunch or a snack, and an absolute Mecca for locals and tourists alike. The best fish and chips in Dunwich? Well of course it is, but only because it's the only F&C shop! Customers...

Fantastic dog friendly cafe right on the beach front. Park the car take a stroll on the beach or heath and then relax. Varied menu for breakfast and lunch. Friendly helpful staff. Good grub. Indoor and outside seating.

Excellent fish and chips, good service. Just what was needed after a long walk through the reed beds!

We ordered haddock and chips and two coffees. The service was friendly and the food beautifully cooked, very hot and plenty of it.

A great place for a bite to eat and a drink to warm up! Really friendly staff, plenty of room outside and in, with a great selection of artwork / prints / gifts from local artists. Very reasonably priced, and the best value breakfast around!

Came with person in a wheelchair, although there is ramps the one to cafe has a step to it and door threshold is high with small vestibule to get it, the shop entrance only one door opens so not wide enough for a wheelchair, also...

Lovely meal, batter on plaice was just right. Friendly staff, great service, would recommend. Next time I will have a dessert.

Winter is over! The tea rooms are back open - fish and chips is freshly cooked and excellent as always

On a wet and windy Autumn day it was lovely to be able to take shelter and enjoy warming breakfast. Fast and friendly service as well.

Love coming here, whatever the weather. Fantastic fish and chips. Pudding menu to die for! Our dog loves it too...

Today we decided to have 2 fish and chips and another customer already tucking into her lunch had advised they were the best as the fish is cooked in rape seed oil so the fish batter is light & crispy so not greasy. We can...

What a super place we found. Stopped for a walk on the beach but was tempted in for a brekkie before we set off and we were not disappointed. Good price and given hot water to top up the tea 😁

Thank you Flora area Rooms for a lovely afternoon, the food and service were outstanding as usual and Danielle's warm welcome and lovely smile really made our day!!! 🌞🧡

We had lovely fish and chips for lunch on the terrace. Food came out quickly and we had brilliant service from Danielle. We will definitely be back!

Visited after a long walk on a hot and humid day. Cafe was very busy, sat at the only outside table which appeared to be free, only to find ourselves next to two members of staff puffing away on cigarettes. Asked them politely if they...

We stopped off here after a walk, the person serving was friendly and welcoming. The fish and chips were okay but it was late in the day. The food tasted as if the oil in which they had been cooked may have been "well used"...

Excellent service and friendly staff as usual, delicious fried plaice but not loving the fake chips which appeared to be made of reconstituted potato, mealy and flavourless to our taste buds. Can't fault it on anything else, hopefully it's just a temporary thing.

Popped in for a coffee after a lovely day on the beach. Although we didn’t eat on this occasion we did see and smell the food and it was very impressive! Looked like good portion sizes, and smelt delicious. Nice varied menu, bright cheerful decor!...

We visit Dunwich on a regular basis and visiting this cafe is a must for us. Not just for the location (beside the beach) but for their coffee and food. The coffee really is the best I’ve had. We have enjoyed fish and chips (would...

This is my new favorite place to be Service was quick Staff friendly Food excellent Prices are great too Definitely worth a visit. I have never seen a car park with such a fantastic view Directly next to the beach What a fantastic hidden gem...

1st time eatting here today and i must say very impressed and exceeded expectations.lovely food,welcoming staff and the dogs loved there frozer doggy Yogurt.will be back again

Lovely, clean place in the restaurant we just purchased a bottled drink there. At the other end of the shop we purchased an ice cream, only downfall there was the member of staff didn't wash or sanitizer there hands before touching the ice cream cone...

Highly recommend a visit for anyone visiting Dunwich & appreciates good food, cooked to order & reasonably priced. . Indoor or outdoor seating. All staff efficient & friendly. What’s not to like. Check out the specials board.

Amazing place, the best views and the best staff definitely a great day out also with the family lots of places to walk and swim and fish go check them out open all week till about 4-5 😊

Always lovely place to grab a drink or something for the quiet beach with a charitable car park will definitely return as long as I'm in the area

Came across this lovely little cafe by chance. Staff were very friendly and helpful. They had been only since 4am due to a cycle event, but we’re all still smiley and friendly. This is a well organised cafe, plenty of seating inside and out, reasonably...

Just returned from a visit here on a recommendation and wasn't disappointed. Lots of outdoor seating, we ordered an omelette and fish and chips. Food was freshly cooked to order and brought out to us. Large portions and very tasty. Omelette was served with an...

Visited on a coach trip for lunch. Everything was handled very efficiently, orders taken on the coach before we went into our reserved seats. Staff were lovely, friendly and very hardworking. I enjoyed plaice and chips which was delicious, fish was so fresh & cooked...

A party of 12 of us lunched there on Friday 24th June. The food was excellent and there was tea and coffee on tap. The staff were friendly and very efficient. We will certainly be going back!

Suffolk locals and visitors to the area would enjoy a trip to Dunwich Beach, the Dunwich Museum and Flora Tea Rooms all of which benefit from the large free car park. A TripAdvisor overall rating of 'average' is a bit mean really (perhaps Good is...

We were on a day out at walberswick when we fancied some fish and chips and flora's came up not too far away. Well I am so glad we ventured here. We asked to take away there wasn't hardly any waiting time, the portion sizes...

What can I say lovely staff, food was absolutely great and the 99 ice cream was delicious and a refreshing pot of tea. I wish I lived closer ! I would pop in all the time. Keep up the good work :) Oh and for...

Went with an organised group. Was originally told they didn't do pies so I ordered Veggie burger. When I got here and saw that they did pies I asked if I could change my order, it wasn't a problem. Glad I did as the pie...

First of all it's a great location just off the beach, the staff couldn't be friendlier and the food is all freshly cooked, tasty and great value for money. I had the kiln smoked salmon with salad and chips which was absolutely lovely, my partner...

A simple fish restaurant, nothing special to look at some might say. But that's not why we love it; the fish is fresh and cooked to perfection, there's a choice of chips, new potatoes, or salad. The specials board changes daily, depending on the catch!...

Loverly visit yesterday after a walk down the beach. Popped in for fish & chips. Really fresh flakey fish ( I had Haddock and my partner had cod) with really nice chips. Friendly smiling staff and a great place to sit down inside or out.

Staff are lovely but CHIPS are those awful catering type things would expect better at a seaside establishment

Cafe is located right beside Dunwich Heath & Beach which is an excellent location and provides a very large/free car park which is excellent so close to the coast. However, I strongly suspect the cost of parking is more than recouped in the cost of...

The fish and chips are 10 outta 10! So, so tasty! The service is quick and efficient and the staff are polite, kind and friendly. You wanna talk…they’ll take the time to talk with you and show interest in what you’re talking about. The men...

Been eating Fish 'n Chips and a nice cupa tea at Dunwich Beach Cafe, Now Flora Tea Rooms for the past 40 years...never been disappointed...the fish is fresh, some straight out of the sea 50 yards away and some from market...the staff are always cheerful...

Had the best vegan and meat pasties and jam and cream scones, the service was really friendly and we didnt have to wait long.

As MANY others have pointed out, the chips here are very poor. What do most folk want when they're at the beach - nice chips. Sort this out and at least I'd think you care - we'll see... And PLEASE employ someone to take orders...

Fish and chips here is always good and large portions. Eating outside if good weather is lovely. Be wary that the queues can be long if it’s a sunny day and you arrive at lunchtime. Parking is free and plentiful and the cafe is right...

I have visited this cafe for many years and never had a bad meal! We had breakfast this time, which was absolutely delicious! We have had fish and chips there and some other fish dishes that have always been yummy 🤤 The owner is a...

Visited twice during our stay for lunch. We were hungry after a couple of long walks. The menu is not overly healthy as most things were deep fried and with chips. But what the heck, we were on holiday. The place was surprisingly busy for...

Maybe I should read the website more carefully but had decided to forgo breakfast to have a full English at this cafe…had heard so many good things about it! Unfortunately it didn’t live up to expectations…we arrived just after 11am to be told breakfast stopped...

Fish and Chips - A touch over-priced IMHO and the chips were pretty dismal but as a plus, the Service was fantastic. Certainly not as good as we remembered the place

What a find. Went for the beach and nature reserve. Decided to eat in the tearoom which looked quite basic. Had the best cod and chips I have eaten for a long time 5 star quality. Husband had the special of Cromer crab which was...

No visit to this part of the Suffolk coastline would be complete without a visit to Flora’s - my mum first took me here over 50 years ago and it’s still the same high quality, simply presented fantastic fare . . . sadly the every...

Lovely full English, and the poached eggs on toast was perfect 😍 Friendly service, nothing too much trouble. We would definitely return when in the area.

Unpretentious, honest good food, great service, quietly and brilliantly managed, infinitely better than the competing pub in its new guise. Torn between wanting to keep this brilliant place a secret, and telling the world how brilliant it is. Oh, and by the way, they were...

It was very busy but plenty of tables inside. We opted to eat on the beach in our comfortable folding chairs. Cooked fresh we waited to collect Haddock, Chips and Mushy Peas. They were so hot I couldn't put it on my lap! Staff are...

We visit here quite regularly and love the Haddock and Chips which is always beautifully cooked and extremely fresh. We tend not to use the restaurant, but to use the takeaway service and eat on the beach if the weather is good, or in our...

Stopped here after a lovely walk on the beach for tea and cake. Didn't have the fish and chips but they looked good and freshly cooked to order. Dog friendly, seating inside and out.

I would have thought that paying £10.50 for Haddock & Chips & £10.50 for Cod & Chips you would expect something special. The service was quick for a Bank Holiday Monday. The fish was lovely but no “ Chip Shop Chips “ You can keep...

Right by the beach and great fish and chips. Tables out side have benches and it’s right by the free car park. Very good value and it’s piping hot as it gets brought out to you. Also do bread and butter slices for a great...

We visited Dunwich with friends and decided to have lunch at the Flora tea rooms as it had been recommended, none of our group had been before, whilst waiting in the queue, we saw a menu for puddings out side but no menu for mains,...

Wow! In all 5 years of being vegan, my partner and I can easily say that the vegan banana blossom fish and chips we had today were the best we’ve ever had. We only expected to be taking away a portion of chips (which would...

We was on a daytrip on a coach trip, to dunwich and southwold, fish and chip lunch was Inc here, being we had a full coach plus another in, the staff were brilliant, very well organised, portions very good, but you was not just fish...

There is a large car park behind Dunwich beach with a very popular café. We were not planning on eating, but went for a closer look and will certainly revisit with a heartier appetite. Most visitors were enjoying fish and chips at the outside tables....

We were in the que for a take away when I read the menu and was just amazed at the pricing, give that a portion of chips is £2.00 on the menu, 3 x Sausages and Chips is £9.50, Chicken Nugget and Chips £9.50 and...

We went to Flora's today for our usual treat of fish and chips on the beach on a lovely sunny day. As usual our lunch was superb! I had a change and had the smoked salmon fillet, side salad and chips. A special mention for...

The food was delicious, we had fish & chips and scampi, salad & chips. Even if it was very busy, the food was actually served very quickly! Really recommend the place.

Pricey and underwhelmed with the taste of the cod and chips. Lovely setting but watery cod in greasy batter and chips nothing to rave about. Only place o. the beach so I guess a captive audience keeps it going, by far the worst meal we...

An excellent fish and chip lunch, choice of cod, haddock, plaice and they also do burgers, sausages or salad. Plenty of seating both inside and outside.

Lovely friendly cafe on the beach. Great staff, friendly and fast service. Great locally caught fish, and chips like you would make yourself. You can have salads if you prefer.

Brilliant food, probably not exaggerating to say these where some of the best quality fish & chips I have had for a very long time. Salad was a proper salad, not a garnish. Service was friendly and knowledgable Seating was clean and comfortable- not hard...

I don’t usually give reviews, however, having visited the Tearooms for lunch yesterday I felt that I had to write on this occasion. The scampi and sausages were over cooked and the chips were below average. The quality of this and the steak pie was...

This is the perfect place to enjoy some of the best fish and chips for miles. Our food was served very quickly and my haddock was quite beautiful although the chips were some of the worst I have had for ages (frozen?) My bakewell tart...

Great food, all served in a very covid safe way. Thorough recommend. We ate outside - tons of parking and close to the beach. It was a late lunch but everything from the wide menu was still available.

We make a 2 hour+ journey here a couple of times a year so that we can have lovely freshly cooked fish and chips, served pleasantly and quickly before heading off for a blast of the north sea coast. Love it!

This has the best fish & chips around, it might be a bit more expensive than normal, but who can beat sitting by the sea in the rain eating fish & chips!

visited on a Sunday and the Tea rooms seem popular. Fortunately the first time we visited we were able to get Tea and biscuits with a place to sit but the queue when we returned later put us off a return visit. The Tearoom offer...

Set next to the beach in a quaint little village, we come here several times a year walking from Southwold. Always friendly service, fresh tasty fish although not large portions and quite expensive.

I used to come here regualy with my late grandmother who loved it , being in the area I though I would go for old times sake . IT has been spruced up a bit but the menu is pretty much the same . The fish was good and fresh and freshly cooked but the chips seemed to be of the commercial varity and in fact you don't get that many , i remembered piles of real chips made from potato's at the Cafe . It does not sell booze and has chamingly old faishoned deserts !

We have eaten here several times over the years and are never disappointed. This was a Monday at about 2pm and it was busy, but the staff are well organised and we didn’t queue for long to place our order. We both had fish and chips (of course!) and it was delicious.

A review from my Mum & Dad who visited Sunday 13/9/20"We had delicious & very fresh haddock & chips. Didn't have to wait long for a table. The chairs were the most comfortable I have ever sat in, in a cafe. They are padded & shaped so I could enjoy my meal at leisure. As I have a very bad back this was a real joy for me. Staff very friendly."

Took a chance on this one, as friend recommended this place to us. So thankful! Two of us had cod and chips, with mushy peas. Fantastic! Will come again for sure and will recommend to others. And the mushy peas where actually as good as they used to be. Highly, highly recommend!!

Yet again wonderful place to eat. Nothing to complain about. Can't wait for our lunch today!!🥕 this was our lunch yesterday.
