Shake & Cake in Waveney

Very nice Fish n' Chips. Service was good. Couldn't eat all the Chips as there was so much....... I wouldn't give a negative review about that !! Fish had a beautiful taste, crispy batter, nice & White (as you'd expect) Bit more expensive than Pips Fish n' Chips on Queen's Road where we usually go. However, I can't really find any fault...... all positive. If your Fish n' Chips taste this good all the time I would rather spend a few more minutes walk rather than walk to a closer Fish n' Chip shop that isn't even open !!! Well done Pablos.

We LOVE the Queens Head. The Sunday roasts are absolutely fantastic. A twist on the traditional, I don't want to recommend this place too highly as I like to be able to get a table, but it's rude to gatekeep!

Incredible food!! Great prices quick delivery and brought the food to our campsite at Southwold ferry

We have eaten in the restaurant at The Waveney Hotel regularly. It is usually a pleasant experience, but today (Easter Saturday) was an awful ordeal. There was a private function (wedding) at the same time as diners booked for lunch in the restaurant. After half an hour, our food order had not been taken and when we politely asked we were told no order could be taken for a while as the kitchen was too busy. As we waited.... and waited....the numerous wedding guests were using the restaurant as a thoroughfare to the outside area, constantly leaving the door open which we were immediately in front of with a young baby in a highchair. We, as well as diners at the other tables, became exasperated by the fire door constantly being left open by the wedding guests going in and out, as well as having these people standing around our tables whilst we were trying to have a peaceful meal out. It was extremely noisy because there were too many people in the restaurant, cold because of being in a constant draught from the outside door, and poor service kept us there much longer than we wanted to be. This should have been a wonderful treat for us as it was a special celebration, but resulted in us feeling like second class citizens, with the wedding guests taking priority and wrecking the experience for all the other diners. It totally spoilt our special occasion. Surely this could have been managed much better, and diners should be warned when booking that the hotel cannot cope with a big function whilst simultaneously maintaining a reasonable standard in the restaurant. We will think twice about ever going back.

Really nice friendly place. Stopped off to play with the children, really friendly-even getting the teen to give it a try. They were really welcoming even though we stayed longer taking a while to get round the holes. Would definitely recommend
