The best restaurants in Suffolk Coastal East of England

If you really want to enjoy your golf buy just 3 lessons from Steve using Trackman indoors. Don't waste it on £300 clubs or £3 balls. I will never take another outdoor lesson in my life.

I went last night with a couple of friends (and had been a week ago with my wife). We had the mid-week tomahawk special and added wings, more fries, mac and cheese and onion rings. The steak was perfect and there was plenty of delicious filling food. The Malbec that we got was a great compliment to the steak. This restaurant prides itself nit just on the food but the incredible friendly service. Always made to feel special. Professional, friendly, knowledgeable and friendly. Hits the spot every time. Thank you

What a lovely pub, the service was professional, super friendly and efficient and the food fantastic. Very high quality, loved it and will definitely return if ever in the area.

There are not enough seats, but really nice pizza. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Ordered halloumi bagel and salad for lunch. They looked and tasted like a meal that my reluctant teenagers had been asked to make. Cakes looked better.

We were recommended this restaurant for its food quality but was very disappointed to say the least. Entering was dark and uninviting and was dirty. It smelled awful. The restaurant was nothing like the picture shown on the website. The walls were a light brick effect made of cardboard that were loose and hanging off. The chair backs were also cardboard painted white. It looked cheap and nasty. The prawn toast were greasy along with the other starters. The rice looked like, and tasted like it was 3 days old, starchy and nasty looking. The only good point was the waiter, whom was the only person serving, he was very polite and welcoming but the atmosphere and quality of the food was shocking. NEVER AGAIN

A bit less pretentious and showy than places in the square but good basic fare at reasonable prices. Great coffee. Bacon roll is colossal. Fab doughnuts. Can't really understand the reviews that say the staff are poorly trained or unfriendly. They aren't gushy or have-a-nice-day ish but I go in regularly and find them welcoming and helpful. Very good WiFi as well.

very good nights have been had at the pizza loft. Good atmosphere and good food. Sadly the place has had to close for good on Saturday 13th August 2022 as the restaurant room is required back by Lings cycle shop. Very sad news.

Excellent quick service and lovely food

Ate here twice over a weekend. On Friday night and Sunday lunch. The food was delicious and very well presented. On the Friday they did a %off for locals and half price on fish and chips which was enormous. The staff are so friendly. Highly recommend here for food.

Got a takeaway Cappucino, sausage roll and biscuits for the dog🤣. The sausage roll is exceptionally good👌🌟🌟. Coffee is great too. The Jack Russell enjoyed his biscuits, plus a bit of my sausage roll🙄😅. Service was prompt, efficient and polite. Totally recommend.

First time here. Absolutely delicious. I had toasted sandwich while my friend had a small breakfast. Hmmmm it did say small but it was a big plate full. All delicious. Lovely people cooking and serving. Very friendly.

Lovely meal tonight at Shapla. Terrific Madras curry with lots of king prawns and lovely stag pander done in a way we've never had it done before - strands of cheese rather than cubes - but delicious. Fast friendly service.

This is my sons favourite place in the world. He loves the waffles (now he has got used to the new style ones). He loves sitting in and all the staff we have encountered are so lovely. Be patient. All is made from scratch and they can be very busy. Worth the wait

This is now actually called the Alde Cafe. I’ve been twice in the last three days. There are fancier places along the High Street, but you will not get a better meal there than you will find at the Alde. Sean is a brilliant cook who prepares every dish with both flare and a respect for tradition. It was the best fry up I have had in the last twenty years, and a welcomed alternative to the recent tendency of serving them up in thali dishes, with about a tablespoon of beans in one and a cubic centimeter of toast in another. I just had the kedgeree, which was magnificently prepared with haddock from the smokehouses along the Shingle. There are many reasons to come to ever-beautiful Aldeburgh. But I’d rank breakfast or lunch at the Alde Cafe at the very top of my list.
