The best restaurants serving British food in Aldeburgh Suffolk Coastal East of England

This has got to be one of the best breakfasts we've had. Beautifully cooked, proper scrambled egg, and best of all bubble and squeak. Cooked to perfection. A lovely little cafe. In I could have eaten 2. Definitely recommend. 10 out of 10

The food was reasonable ( my rare steak was medium but that’s a little nit-picking) Very pleasent waitress who sadly hadn’t been trained very well. As she didn’t have a clue what she was serving or what the menu actual was. Asked if we wanted to give a tip on payment of the bill by another member of staff, which we probably would have given a small one ( not the 30% option on the card reader) had it not been asked for. Tips are discretionary and I am happy to tip for a good experience but this wasn’t one. Has the potential and not that bad quality , but does needs improvement.

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.

Had breakfast here Saturday, it’s a good job we used satnav as you’d never find it otherwise. Reduced menu was being served as chef at a wedding but choice on offer was perfectly adequate. An old fashioned greasy spoon. We really enjoyed the food, the produce seemed to be good quality and it was very reasonably priced. The 3 ladies working there were also lovely. The only negative was the overpowering offensive smell in the toilets. It was so bad I couldn’t even use the toilet and had to come straight back out again as the smell was making me physically heave. It was a mixture of a strong chemical smell mixed with the smell of a septic tank. I’m glad we ate before I went into the toilet as if I’d have gone in before ordering we’d have just left. To be clear although an update would not go a miss the toilets looked physically clean so I don’t know what was causing the smell but it needs sorting as it was unbearable. A shame as food and service were great

Brilliant on so many levels, staff are wonderful 👏

On Friday 11th October, my wife and me were looking forward to our fish and chips at lunchtime. We ordered 2 medium haddock and one portion of chips.The haddock was very small and mainly batter.The cost of this meal was £25, our local chippie charges around £18 for 2 pieces of large fish and a large portion of chips.We were very disappointed as we have been eating there each time we visit. Not next time we come to Aldeburgh.

Friendly, cosy pub. Great customer service, Zee was so welcoming and made us feel right a home. The ribs were amazing probably the best I've had. Totally recommend this pub for food and drinks!

I had the red mullet - catch of the day, it was small but delicious. My partner's fish and chips was light and crispy.

Lovely lunch, although neither snails nor lobster. Irritating practice of putting wine out of reach. Otherwise, superb lunch, great cod.

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.

We popped in for late morning coffee and cake and are so pleased we did as this is a delightful cafe that we have never been to before. There was an excellent choice of hot and cold drinks on offer as well as lots of varied things to eat. We had a decaf cappuccino and a chai latte, with a slice of apple cake and a slice of biscoff millionaires shortbread. Everything was delicious and really good value for money ( way cheaper than the equivalent in somewhere like Costas). The staff were all really friendly and efficient. We are definitely coming back here for lunch soon as all the lunch dishes we saw being served looked incredible.

The restaurant looks amazing, great atmosphere, staff are polite and friendly, however the price of the breakfast, even charging you extra for black pudding, is nothing to write home about and is average at best. Coffee can be pricey as well.

Lovely little town. Beach great. Shops, pubs & restaurants fab. Stayed for a long weekend and would definitely visit again.

We stopped here for lunch when visiting Aldeburgh for the afternoon. The restaurant was full when we arrived so we had to wait outside for a short while, the queueing system was a bit of a pain as we walked up the stairs with kids and bags etc, only to be told we need to go back down and wait outside. Once inside we had a good table with plenty of room and the service was good. We ordered cod and chips and the food was very nice with delicious sauces. We had a nice meal and the prices were reasonable, it’s worth a visit.

Great food in a fabulous location.
