This is a cozy warm pub. It serves excellent, tasty food in ample potions. The staff are very friendly with a dry humour. The toilets are spotless. We will definitely visit again in May 2025

Recently had a meal at The Vulcan Arms in Sizewell, we chose the Carvery. It was perfectly cooked and lots of choice The vegetables were fresh and cooked to perfection Service was great. A friendly traditional pub would highly recommend looking forward to a return visit . Janet/Paul

Our first ever visit here , dropped in for a couple of drinks, pub a bit oldy worldly which we don't mind, plaing good old 60s music, landlord friendly enough, feeling a bit peckish and they were serving a Roast Carvery at about 7.30pm which would have been too much as we just wanted a snack, so asked if it would be possible to maybe just have a couple of sandwiches with either of the meats on , maybe a bit cheeky I suppose but as business say they are struggling would have thought they could have done that !!! charged us say £4/5 each wouldn't have taken 2 minutes and we would have been happy and spent a few hours there but no can't possibly do that , so we finished our drink and left after 15 minutes , sorry won't be coming back

It's a pub that does food. Owner/barman gas a very droll sense of humour and an excellent choice in music, mainly 60s and 70s. Pub is closed on Tuesday and Wednesday. Really good pub grub. Excellent sized portions, served piping hot. Good beers so what's not to like.

We come back every year, it's so easy going we are right next to the sea, the owners of the site own the pub next the site. Trevor and Margaret are a lovely couple, the food is excellent also of course the beer. There's a cafe on the beach also public toilets. There's a lovely little town called Leiston nearby with a Co op supermarket and lots of other shops, all in all if your looking for lovely relaxing holiday this is the place. Thanks Trevor and Margaret, we've had, as always a lovely time.😘💕

Liked it alot. Very good size meal portions cooked well and arrived hot. Some meals about £10+ Nice menue and good drink selection. Half pint of coke was £2.50 wich was higher than some places you get a pint, no offer of ice but cold. Drinks order was taken and delivered friendly but then left the table and had to wait a while before could place food order. Food arrived withought cutlery so again had to wait a while. Friendly pub, spacious clean tidy and nice paintings and colour. 1 way system was in place with notice on door, going through door by car park and leaving past toilets at the back. Only down side is the door was locked and the 4 of us were left not knowing how to leave safely. As wearing masks we decided to walk back through where we came in passing 2 people coming in as safely as could. A little comunication or a sign on the locked door would have been useful.

Popped in mid week for a pint whilst walking the dog, its a really nice traditional and well kept pub- with good beer. We also ended up booking Sunday lunch which turned out to be the best we had in a long time! loads of gravy- in a jug not poured all over your dinner! (she likes it more than me, but i had the lovely horse radish that also came with it) everything was cooked how it should be. it closes at 3pm every day, which they are very clear about, so no surprises- we will be back!

If you want smashed avocado on sourdough with pea shoots and other unnecessary greenery then this cafe is not for you. But if you want the best quality full English, fresh unfussy honestly presented British and local food then you’re in the right place. Always a warm welcome, seriously tasty local food, simply cooked and unpretentiously presented. Today’s special were some seriously big juicy scallops which I had with my full English and they were an inspired combination and very popular. Thanks Sean for another outstanding breakfast. Keeping consistent standards like this is a real labour of love but it shines through in the food. Lovely breakfast and not an avocado in sight. PS a ‘greasy spoon’ this is not!
