The best restaurants in Waveney East of England

we ordered from here on deliveroo as we’re staying nearby in a caravan park. it said 30 minute wait time- we 2 hours and no food came. called multiple times and they just said it will be a couple minutes. ended up going via deliveroo live chat and getting a refund as the driver couldn’t find us, the pizzeria didn’t call us or let us know that the driver couldn’t be bothered to properly look for our caravan and left with our food. so disappointing and absolutely crap customer service. they told us they don’t deliver to our area although they have our area available on deliveroo ??

Purchased two dressed crab today as I was making a rare visit to the area from London. Very disappointed to discover later that my treat from the coast had almost certainly been frozen and was full of roe (hidden from view) with very little white meat. I did not expect this of an ‘authentic’ fishmonger down by the harbour and have had better quality from a supermarket. Feel completely let down and do not think an establishment such as this should be hoodwinking the customer in this way. It should be fresh and full of meat - otherwise don’t sell it. Such a shame - £15 wasted. Maybe I should have been more careful the week before Easter and recognised this as no more than a tourist trap.

Previously they have missed items off the order, gave them the benefit of the doubt as mistakes are made by all but since then an order was over an hour late... shocking! Improvements are majorly needed. Will not buy again of them- no Chinese is worth being messed around that much!!!

The five Bells Wrentham was a lovely place to stay . Our room was spacious & clean with a good sized bathroom. Breakfast was delicious. We went for the full English and smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on GF bread. Great location to Southwold.

This is a non-pretentious, friendly, great value cafe and bakery. It's very busy, probably because it's so popular, so it might be necessary to wait a little while for the excellent cafe service. I enjoyed a full English breakfast whilst my husband had something similar. Happily for us, this cafe was also dog friendly. Whilst there, I did hear another customer waxing lyrical about the quality of their fresh bread. Unfortunately we were leaving Southwold the next day, so had no excuse to buy bread ourself.

We had a great meal, tasty and a bit different from the norm, there was an option to have smaller portions which was what some of us wanted. Good value, friendly staff .

I went there today and became upset. The girl behind counter was amazing. Dark hair in pony tail. Northern accent maybe. She is an absolute credit and deserves recognition

Unfortunately I won't be ordering chicken donner again, I ordered a wrap. It was cold and hard. Understandably it was near the end of the night. However they should definitely take more pride in the food. Delivery Driver was lovely and friendly, greeted with a smile and the man on the phone taking my order was okay. But the food was a disappointment. Hard chicken and hard chips ☹️

Went specifically for a donner kebab after having many in an around Lowestoft over the years, I have to say that this was by far the worst one I ever had, most of it went in the bin as even my dog wouldn't eat it. The sliced donner meat was old, tasteless and hard due to being over cooked on the spit. Go to better takeaways and pay a quid or two more for a proper kebab.

Terrible service looks like there short staffed horrible food and we found our waitress rude I honestly would not go back so overrated

Fantastic building very clean and really nice atmosphere with brilliant staff and a great menu. Food was fantastic and plenty of it.

Short wait food for three served quickly. Cheerful chat from the staff. Usual fayre

Lovely piece of cod and chips hot on arrival lovely delivery driver maybe the curry sauce could of been bit thicker but a lovely meal thank you

Three night stay at this hotel. We had a large room on the front but were not bothered by the traffic noise. The room was very comfortable and clean. The decor was outdated but they are apparently in a refurbishment programme. Breakfast was super, plenty on offer and hot food excellent. The young girls that run the front of house were very friendly and helpful, nothing too much trouble. Good value for money.

The accommodation was clean and warm , loved the powerful shower. Really comprehensive welcome pack .There were activities during the day and evening,a nice pool .The meals were varied and very good quality.a mix of waiter service or help yourself loads to choose from .All the staff we met were very helpful and high staffing levels always some one to ask..
