The best restaurants in Aldeburgh Suffolk Coastal East of England

Always enjoy visiting this proper seaside pub. The ladies who were running it the day we visited were very cheerful and professional and somehow manage to maintain a welcoming and peaceful atmosphere even though it’s a small pub that gets quite busy. Adnams beer and pizza, next door to a fish & chip shop so what’s not to like!

Having thought we'd spend the day in Suffolk, wandered up and down the high street looking for a place to have breakfast - which was really hard to find (a local independent place that sold more than tea and cake!) Came across The Chocolate Teapot which looked lovely from the outside and was dog friendly (inside too) 🐾 Staff were attentive, friendly and the food was lovely. We sat outside (as there were no tables left inside), but it was a lovely day, so it wasn't too cold for February. Poached eggs on a long thin slice of sourdough bread (cooked in butter or oil) was delicious. Eggs were runny and perfectly made. Also ordered a bacon and egg sandwich, again this was nice. We would certainly return back again. Thank you The Chocolate Teapot, first time to Aldeburgh and it was a great start to our day.

Brilliant little restaurant room above one of the delicious fish and chips shops. The service here is relaxed and kind and the food so good we. One back year after year.

I had a lovely ice cream wafer cone there is a good selection of flavours to choose from.

Popped in for a drink before dinner. Nice selection of Adnams beers and cider. Cozy pub, real fire just right for fresh Spring evening on coast

The ice-creams looked lovely, but we had four coffee's, 3 out of 4 said they were weak and watery, there's far better coffees available in Aldeburgh!

We visit Aldeburgh a couple of times a year and have done for years. Magpies used to sell a changing variety of fresh, and what tasted like home-baked, cakes, bakes and pastries. Frequently items would sell out. The business has got super-popular and upscaled production but this is to the detriment of variety, taste and freshness in my opinion. The same offering every day. And there seems to be a preference for bakes that will ‘keep’ and need not be sold on-the-day. Not really my cup of tea anymore but my children like the gingerbread men and the coffee is consistently very good indeed. So we continue to return.

The roast was served Luke warm , hardly tepid , there was no one to tell , we started eating it , so it didn’t get stone cold , when a waiter finallly asked if everything was ok , we had nearly finished . We mentioned it to 3 waiters at the time of paying , and were told we shouldn’t have eaten it , they could’ve warmed it up . We don’t like making a scene at the time , so we paid £48 for 2 cold roast dinners , when we emailed with a complaint, we got a snotty reply . They are fake nice when you arrive when they want to take your money , but when they don’t live up to their side of the bargain by serving food at a reasonable temperature they don’t want to know .. we didn’t want warmed up food , they should get it right first time , the meals arrived almost immediately after ordering , so they are standing pre plated , and not served fresh .. very unprofessional and disappointing

Fantastic food, staff and accommodation in a beautiful location. The dinner was unbelievably good - especially the fresh fish we had. Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality during our recent visit. We couldn’t have asked for more. Will definitely visit again.

What a fantastic find - I have walked along Aldeburgh sea front so many times and not once noticed Sea Spice. The food was fantastic, by far the best Indian restaurant in Suffolk. The staff were very polite and the decor was modern, making it perfect for a special occasion. It is also good value for money. The only reason I marked it down slightly is because the service was really slow. It took a long time before our order was taken. We also ran out of drinks a few times and I had to get up to go ask a waiter to order so more. I suggest that the front of house staff need to be a bit more attentive in checking on the guests.

nice spot, with seating indoors & out. Great selection of cakes/pastries and a pretty good menu with a specials board. really nice that brunch options are served all day. I gave a lower score only because we were let down a bit by service & food quality. At the till there was a little confusion as they didn't have everything i ordered - but i thought sorted out until at the table realised i had been overcharged, which they did correct after going back! The food arrived quickly and looked good - but we had 2 dishes that turned out really very salty. I'm not sure if it was just a mistake, but it spoiled the hot food.

I’m lucky enough to live a mile away from this wonderful place where I have been eating for many years. The food is genuine, remarkably good value and consistently excellent. But what I like most about Munchies is its exuberance! The staff and owner are always full of the joys of Spring - even when it’s not! No wonder they win awards!

Amazing xx lovely staff and atmosphere and full vegan menu which was yummy! Restaurant was clean and beautifully presented. Fairly priced and so close to the beach.

Terrible coffee - just go elsewhere - this firm is an example of the independent emperor having absolutely no clothes. The town needs a Starbucks if this is the best Aldeburgh can do!
