The Mill Inn in Suffolk Coastal

Had lunch in The Mill Inn, it is one of our go-to places in Aldeburgh, good food friendly staff and a pleasant atmosphere.

Good place to enjoy a pint in a traditional English pub near the sea. Good food.

Visited here a few times while on holidays over the past couple of years. Nice traditional pub in a good location

We got let down for dinner at another pub and rang the mill and they said yes we can help with a table so we was there in about 10 minutes after talking to a nice lady on the phone we arrived and the bar man was helpful we said who we was and he said a table will be a table in a few minutes and we didn't have time to order a drink and the table was ready. Drinks and meal ordered and drinks came quickly then good came very hot and tasty the 2barman didn't stop all evening. Would like to say thank you and will return

Very hospitable owners made us feel very welcome with our rather large greyhound. Five of us dined, dinner was lovely. I especially enjoyed the Halloumi Tower. Fish was extremely fresh.

Wasn't made very welcome. So we went to another local pub and had great service. Edit. The response the owner gave below was incorrect. We understood that it was full, but the rudeness and attitude shown by the two staff was very poor. Even another customer shook their head and couldn't believe how we were dealt with.

Went in here to have a meal but it was fully booked the staff were very good and recommended another pub in the area. I would book in advance if you wish to eat here

Completely unprepossessing little pub with bare wooden tables and floors but dog friendly and good service. Had the most wonderful seafood platter (with a side of chips that I didn't really need). Best pub food I've had in a long time and good value too.

Busy sea front / promenade pub with good food and great beer

Love the mill Inn, wonderful beer and food along with the best barmen possibly in the world andy and buster.

great food and excellent service. The full king rack of ribs was unbelievable. Very private and comfortable seating area. Desserts were incredible. A top class meal.

Wife and I popped in on a hot day in August for a couple of drinks after a lovely long walk. Barman was fairly abrupt and immediately wanted to know if we woud be sitting inside or outside as if it were outside he would have to serve me in plastic glasses as a lot of them ‘get nicked.’ I said we would be outside and accepted the drinks in flimsy plastic cups as stipulated. However, on going outside I noticed that everyone else out there had their drinks in proper branded glasses and it seemed to be just me that was being treated differently. As others came outside, again all had their drinks in proper glasses. Totally rude and unnecessary treatment of a paying customer. Obviously didn’t order any more after that and moved on to a decent bar instead where I would be singled out. Won’t be returning.

Visited for a meal. The food was excellent! It was served by two lovely people. I enjoyed the vegan burger. Dogs are allowed but you should tell them first.

We ate at this gorgeous pub twice during our stay in Aldeburgh. The fish and chips is naturally gluten free and super delicious. The fish tasted like it was caught that day. They had a lot of gluten free options and the menu is clearly marked. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable and you can sit and look at the sea/ beach whilst you eat. I noticed the manager was very knowledgeable about the beer etc. just as it couldn’t get any better we noticed dogs are welcome. 10/10! We’ll be back next time we are in the area!

Lovely Olde pub , right across from The Moot Hall and the beach, nice beer friendly staff , crazy exspensive prices but a treat ro drink in a olde building ?

Visited last night, looking for somewhere that does chicken burger for a fussy teenager! Good food, friendly service, other options available for grownups!

Everything was spot on can't complain about anything will go back soon

We had a wonderful meal in The Mill. The food was excellent and the service brilliant. Couldn't ask for more.

Stayed for 3 nights 4th July, 2024. Beautiful room , very boutique, tastefully decorated, well thought out, definitely stay again.

Excellent lunch from an excellent establishment. Andy and Buster looked after us well, as usual. Thank you, chaps, for your help.

On a recent visit to the lovely un-spoilt town of Aldeburgh we stayed at the White Lion Hotel on the beach frontage. Along from the hotel is the Mill Inn, a lovely pub and restaurant. The staff are friendly and attentive and the menu provides an excellent choice for either lunch or dinner. With it's well stocked bar and Adnams draught ales on tap, it is just perfect for a relaxed drink offering table seating both inside and outside. Worth a visit.

Great olde worlde pub serving Adns ales and a good selection of food, vegan catered for.

Staff friendly and good choice of drinks. Food excellent and would recommend booking as spaces limited.

Friendly welcome, great service. Delicious gluten free fish and chips.

Two pints of hand pump beer cost £11.30!!!! Absolutely nothing to justify those prices.

Our primary reason for booking was that they have gluten free fish and chips on the menu. We really enjoyed our meal and the fish and chips were amazing! The pub itself was friendly with good service. Would definitely recommend and we will be back next time we’re in Aldeburgh.

Great selection of Adnams drinks on draught (which is the local brewer in Southwold). The place is in a lovely spot just near the aldeburgh museum and so benefits from being in an idyllic location. The decor is very much quaint English pub vibe and the food is stunning! I had the full rack of smoked ribs which were MASSIVE. The staff were extremely friendly to the point where you would go back for that on its own. Well worth a visit.

The atmosphere was relaxed and cosy, with friendly and attentive staff. I ordered the Surf & Turf - Rump Steak, Scallops and Langoustine, served with a prawn and chilli butter, new potatoes and onion rings. The steak, scallops and langoustine were cooked perfectly, but the steak was a little fatty for me (just personal preference). The prawn and chilli butter gave a lovely little kick to the dish. My boyfriend ordered the beef brisket - tender beef in a meaty gravy, served with steamed veg and creamy mash. "Very tasty, best brisket I've ever eaten" We washed our meal down with a bottle of Adnam's Prosecco, a brand best known around the suffolk area for alcoholic beverages. Went down a treat! To finish, I ordered the raspberry tart with cream and boyfriend opted for the raspberry and white chocolate roulade. The tart was light and fruity and the roulade, with chewy and crispy meringue was was also a light addition. Overall, a very relaxed and pleasant experience 👍 The only thing that could have been improved was the time it took for our food to arrive. 9.5/10

Friendly pub on the Suffolk coast in Aldeburgh. Good beer and wine selection, nice food and staff that do their very best to accomodate you even on a very busy day.

Excellent food and service, friendly and accommodating staff and quality menu.

Had 2 lovely meals here would highly recommend. Freindly staff and delicious food .

What a pub! We loved sitting outside overlooking the sea, next to the beautiful Moot Hall and eating some smoked fish from neighbouring Ash Smoked Fishes. Can not wait to return.......

Good pub near the sea front. Friendly staff

We stayed here 19th April for 2 nights. The newly refurbished rooms were excellent value and very well presented, the food was also excellent we ate there both nights. Nothing was to much trouble, our rooms overlooked the beach and the village was only a short stroll away. We would highly recomend this B & B and we will definately return when we are back in the area.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Can recommend the ‘fishy’ platter and the spicy chicken sizzler

Great food.. Great service.. Good selection of beers.

We went to the mill inn after visiting the smoked fish hut opposite had a drink and a chat to the landlord. A lot of the tables were booked for food for the evening. Good selection of beers, nice friendly pub, right on the seafront by the moot house and the smoked fish hut .

Unexpectedly good food for a pub lunch, even if during a menu changeover. Tired looking decor, but friendly staff and locals. I will definitely try this place again on another visit to the area

The Mill is our regular when my friends and I visit Aldeburgh, mainly because the staff are absolutely fantastic and so welcoming. Thank you Buster and Andy for being the kindest and most accommodating hosts.

Amazing meal! Ribs were delicious. Would definitely recommend 🤩

A really friendly local pub, the food was lovely, bread oil & balsamic, lamb shank, Cajun chicken and a big slice of lemon meringue, yummy. Reasonably priced and I apologise for shouting when the Arsenal scored! Well worth a visit

Fabulous pub, staff were very friendly and welcoming, service was excellent. We had lunch in this pub on Friday afternoon and again on Saturday afternoon, both times the only staff were two young men who were so attentive even when the pub was packed, their level of service was top notch. Food was really nice, cosy atmosphere, dog friendly, this pub ticked all the boxes. We will definitely visit again next time we’re in Aldeburgh.

Only stopped for lite lunch, which was delicious washed down with some lovely beer. The staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Had a lovely meal here on the last day of our short break in Aldeburgh. Food was excellent and the service was attentive. Will definitely eat here again when visiting Aldeburgh .

Great pints in one of the last down to earth pubs in aldeburgh. We often head here to avoid the crowds of dogs, Londoners and kids in the other pubs in the area. They are always cheerful behind the bar, there is often space to sit and if not you can grab a pint to go to enjoy on the beach.

Wonderfully charming little pub right on Aldeburgh beach. Directly opposite the historic Moot Hall, with easy walking access to the High St and Aldeburgh cinema. Old wooden pub, good menu, nice selection of beers & wines and a spot on location.

Booked a table for4. However 3 of us arrived first. The place offers traditional pub meals. It has good vibes & was almost full. The staff were friendly & engaging. We all had sufficient & enjoyed our dinner. The best part was when I asked if they could provide a take out fish & chips as my daughter was unable to make it . A member of confirmed that they could provide it. On return to the cottage my husband checked the bill & discovered that the takeout dish had not in fact been charged. My husband went back the following day to pay the outstanding amount but the offer was declined & the manager said she was grateful for his honesty. I would certainly recommend the Mill Inn as a friendly and welcoming pub/restaurant - nicely located close to the sea front and the Main Street through Aldeburgh.

Lovely old pub with a nice atmosphere

Visited the Mill Inn at Aldeburgh on Boxing Day for lunch with my Sister & Bro-in-law who regularly eat there. As always a lovely pub with great food and service. The staff are so lovely and helpful. Always wise to book a table so as not to be disappointed. Also had a lovely walk along the seafront.

Good beer friendly staff Food was quite average

Friendly and good service and very good food

What a lovely place! Frendly, polite barstaff. Lovely food .10/10 for everything!!!!

First time we have been in the Mill Inn Food was First class and very reasonably priced 👍 Staff very welcoming, lots of vegy meals for my partner and good choices on menu. It won't be 16 years before we go go again 🙂 See you soon 👍🍽🍺🐕

Had lovely meal, free parking in street, dog friendly. Lovely old pub, would go again.

Friendly staff but unfortunately went serving lunchtime food.

Decent honest food. Great value. Nice pub.

We just come back home after a quick lunch stop in Aldeburgh. Staff was super friendly and the food really good. We loved the cajun chicken, was really good. We will definitely return next time we are in the area

Visited The Mill Inn Aldeburgh Sunday lunchtime just for a drink. The Pub is just of the sea front, there is little seating as you enter from the side entrance, by the bar and larger room at the front, with a fire place, it is nicely decorated and was playing music which was nice. We sat outside where there is pairs of chairs with the sea front views. Unfortunately arrived at 1pm and we could hear the Bar Person moaning, while serving the customer before me about how many millions of people was in the day before and why they open at 12 when everyone come at once at 1pm, not in a nasty way but not very welcoming. Hope his day got better. Had a couple of real ales on sale, the one I choose was £5, higher than other pubs I have visited in the area. Not sure I would re-visit.

We booked one of their rooms for our second stay at the Mill Inn having enjoyed our first visit last year. Both rooms are lovely, very clean, with comfortable beds and newly decorated. They have excellent facilities, sea views and the breakfasts are good too. The staff and landlord are friendly and attentive. In summary, lovely rooms in a perfect seaside location

Had a wonderful meal here. The service was great and my steak was the best I have had in a very long time. Would definitely recommend a visit but worth booking first

We visited at lunchtime today, the staff were so welcoming and helpful. It was a beautiful warm day, so they reserved a table for us so we could sit outside until our food order was ready. We chose from the light bites menu, it was very tasty and well cooked and presented. Well done to the two lovely guys on duty, a very pleasant experience.

Really great pub in the centre of Aldeburgh. Burgers were great, and communication from staff over food wait times (really not that long) was exemplary. One note of caution, we went on a Saturday night and had booked ahead. It was fully booked and busy so if you are thinking of going, I'd recommend booking.

Adnams pub next to the Moot Hall in Aldeburgh. Only had a beer, all good. No dedicated parking but there is free parking just across the road.

Absolutely fantastic meal. The steak and frittes were cooked to perfection. The squid starter divine. A busy pub and you can see why, the two lads serving are great and the chef behind the scenes well what more can we say 10/10. Dogs welcomed. Great choice of beers and gins x a must if your visiting Adleburgh.

Nice pint of Mosaic on a Mountain Bike ride 🍻

Good selection of Ales. Food was also good and served quickly. Very friendly bar staff.

Visited on a very sunny Saturday afternoon, Bar man was rushed off his feet but had a great sense of hummer despite people not returning their glasses.... every table was reserved ahead of the evening which I thought was a good sign! Can't beat an Adnams pint 👌

We ate here on a busy Saturday evening and would certainly return if in the area again. Most of us ate from the main menu whilst some chose dishes from the specials board. There were some good old favourites available ( Scampi, Fish and Chips, Burgers, etc) but also some more unusual dishes (Boa Buns, Cajun Chicken Sizzlers, Nacho Platter, etc). Service was quick and the food reasonably priced. Recommended.

Dinner for 5. Really excellent food. Great variety on menu and reasonably priced. Had the Wagyu burger special which was awesome! Ales kept perfectly. But most of all, top marks to the two guys behind the bar and waiting tables at the same time as well. Worked really really hard. I hope you pay them well. Thank you. Recommended.

The service is excellent and very friendly brought our drinks to the table and took our food orders, my husband had the seafood platter without the smoked mackerel and replaced it with calamari, I had the southern fried chicken burger also excellent, would I go again of course we would

Very nice pub in the middle of Aldeburgh,very good service good atmosphere.

Lovely pub food and drink, great location and attentive staff. Great place for a pint on a warm day

Very nice attentive staff, comfortable place for a welcome drink. It does food but I wasn't eating but day I called in they were fully booked for dinners! Excellent pub!

I thought the service was lovely and certainly some of the dishes around me got rave reviews and look well presented. The beer is also good and staff helpful. My issue was the ribs that were very dry and tough, as they have a smoker I was expecting amazing ribs and they where just ok.

Found this as the menu had a large selection of Gluten Free items, many of which are battered which is a nice bonus as their batter is gluten free. Had a selection of starters including cauliflower popcorn, garlic mushrooms and steak sizzler, then the ribs for main. Steak sizzler was amazing, so sweet tasting and the other items were also excellent. Would recommend The Mill Inn if you are in Aldeburgh, worth a visit and great for gluten free.

Lovely old traditional pub, within an amazing seaside town just perfect

Food was lovely service great, staff friendly and efficient. Will come again

Had the seafood platter really good bread and butter would make it perfect

We came to this pub way too late on our holiday to Aldeburgh. It was a really great place. We are on two night because the food was so lovely. The bar staff were friendly as were the locals. An absolute must if visiting Aldeburgh.

Hey! , This is a proper pub. My family and I have been coming to Aldeburgh for years. We always have at least 1 lovely meal on our holiday here at the Mill Inn… never been disappointed, this year we have Busta & Andy behind the bar and serving. Great guys, Great food, 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Do yourself a favour, book in advance.

Only went in for a drink but lovely atmosphere and good service.

Lovely pub in a great location with really helpful friendly staff and nice food.

A lovely pub, with excellent food and service. All ways come here when in the area

Our favourite pub in Aldeburgh. Food and ambience is unbeatable. Book in advance and relax and enjoy every minute x

Comfortable sociable environment. Tasty food.

Really enjoyed the pork ribs from the smoker. Half rack was plenty. Rib eye steak also top notch. Friendly staff and a nice feel to the pub. My favourite in Aldeburgh.

Lovely place, friendly bar staff. good place to stop and have drink or two

Popped in for a light bite and a drink. Lovely pub and good service.

I really liked this multi-roomed Adnams pub situated across the road from the 17th century Moot hall and seafront gardens. If you enter from the sea facing side then you walk through two front areas mainly aligned for dining before reaching the bar and an additional two areas which are more set up just for drinking. A nice Creme and sea blue decor throughout and plenty of period black and white photos of the local area to provide some character. 4 Adnams ales were on with the usual Broadside, Southwold Bitter and Ghostship, but I went for the Regatta golden ale and very good it was. We were only in for drinks on this lunchtime as we intended to graze from the seafood shacks on the stone beach a short walk away, and I like the fact that there was a good mix of people eating and just drinking, even in the front two rooms. This was probably the pick of the pubs I tried in Aldeburgh.

Sitting with an adnams cider in the sunshine. Winning at life

Great food, Great service and very good price

Good food at reasonable prices Dog friendly and the staff are friendly as well.

Unfortunately the place never seems to be open !

Nice food, better beer and really welcoming

A very lovely relaxing pub , near beach area with great character very clean and polite staff enjoyable visit , preferred this pub to the Cross Keys purely due to more room available lovely seating and plenty of pictures showing local history. Opposite the museum too . Worth visiting they do food normally but not on our visit . Plus you can stay in a room if required .

Absolutely fantastic pub , we booked a table for 8pm Friday , fantastic welcome from the lads , Buster was superb , great staff. I ordered the full rack of ribs , which were the best ribs I have ever eaten , kids loved their food. And the bacon wrapped date salad was to die for. Cant wait to get back there. 5 stars!! Dan and Family : )

With great hospitality, excellent food we had a lovely lunch/dinner. The Staff were both so polite and efficient, hosting with a smile. The dining area spotlessly clean. I opted for the Seafood Platter, and was impressed with the quality and quantity. Absolutely delicious. I have to add that the Cod was pure white, the whitebait etc so fresh I can only assume the ingredients are bought locally. Maybe even from over the road? My wife had fish and chips, standard choice but again excellent quality. The choice of beers at the Bar is also extensive, and only wish I could have tried more. Highly recommended for a relaxing informal meal.

Schönes Pup mit guter Bierauswahl!

What a warm welcome we received at this cosy establishment after us managing to get a table at short notice. It was busy but we were served quickly. The menu had good choices and the food we chose was delicious. We really enjoyed the evening and would pay a return visit when next in the area.

Just stopped for a drink, relaxing atmosphere, friendly staff and great location close to beach
