The best restaurants in Southwold and Reydon Waveney East of England

My favourite. Pub. You will never have a better pint of Ghost Ship!

My husband and I took a punt on this restaurant as we were struggling to find anything inspiring on the menu in our hotel. 5-10 minute walk from the high street. Friendly staff, casual atmosphere and great food. Warm and cosy in February. Service was good. Food was delicious. Particularly good selection of different burgers. We will be back in the summer with our boys.

Wonderful food and drink the Sole was lovely with chips and veggies!!! Beer was good and I would definitely recommend only thing I would say is very difficult but not impossible to get in in a wheelchair

The best Fish and Chips I have ever tasted. Fresh, tasty haddock with a light crispy batter. The starter of prawns in a garlic and ginger sauce was delicious. Staff friendly and delightful despite being run off their feet. Can’t recommend highly enough, will be back soon

We went in here just for a sausage roll and coffee each. The young lady making the coffee was very quick and efficient. I didn’t even notice the sausage rolls being put on the tray, they just appeared. The coffee was one of the best we have ever tasted, with real chocolate shavings on the top, rather than the cocoa powder usually used (in other establishments). Tables were cleared efficiently and we were thanked, twice, on our way out. Don’t know what a fuller meal would be like, but would recommend for a quick bite and drink.

A dog friendly tastiest great find. The food couldn't have been fresher. The staff were great and gave us some good recommendations.

We have enjoyed Harris & James elsewhere in Suffolk & Norfolk, mainly for the gelato. This time we went inside for a coffee/tea and a cake. The coffee and tea were OK, the cookies and cakes reasonable and the donut small. Service was average and the prices not cheap. OK but nothing special.

Visited twice whilst on holiday lovely welcoming staff , great cake and lovely tea , dog friendly too , this shop is a credit to the brand

What a rip off for £23! They had hardly any chips left, so rather than cook fresh ones they gave us the scraps they had left! Bear in mind it was only 12:30, not close to closing time! Chewy dried up chips! Fish was ok, nothing special. All very greasy and below average!

£39 for a 3 course Sunday lunch or £36 for 2 courses?! No veggie roast dinner option although I was offered frozen veg sausages or just a load of veg. It was VERY expensive for an average service and an ok meal. The carrots were hard and no green veg but other than that it was ok just VERY expensive for what it was. Also the front.l of the building needs some attention, entering is quite depressing with peeling paint etc Also we ate in the bar and a local came in and was chatting away to the bar man and frequently swearing at high wasn’t pleasant

We stayed at the venue and had dinner one evening, the food was amazing and the service brilliant - very friendly and welcoming. We had breakfast on both days we stayed, great choice and excellent quality - the chef even tweaked the menu for me. Lovely experience would definitely recommend and look forward to returning

Visiting the area and we went in here on the first night for a drink. Pretty empty with no atmosphere and the lady behind the bar was a bit miserable and seemed as if she would rather be somewhere else. Visited again on another night - a lot busier so the atmosphere was better and a different lady behind the bar did look more cheerful. Went in on our last night for food which was lovely.

A basic pub that serves nice food

I returned to this spot around 20 years after first coming and remembering how nice it was. Has definitely changed but still great seafood, and probably a bit more comfortable! The setting is great, in the harbour and the views from some of the tables are really lovely. You can make up your own seafood platter which was good value - the fresh mackerel was absolutely delicious, and we also had a fishcakes which was probably the nicest fishcake I’ve ever had. No kids menu but our children loved the fish and chips and mussels. Friendly staff and very cosy interior. Would definitely return.

Full English breakfast fantastic 👍 Great service 😁
