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

Visited again for Sunday roast. Had the roast beef , really tender beef , delicious vegetables full of flavour and crispy roasts. Had the divine coffee panacotta for dessert and smooth rich coffee. Staff were attentive and service great. Didn’t disappoint second time here and will definitely be back. Booking advised on Sunday .

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

Excellent high end (for Aldeburgh) restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was very competent, personal and friendly. We enjoyed the asparagus and the mains in particular. The fish and chips were very good, but there were more interesting things on the menu.

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.

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 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.

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.

Thoroughly enjoyable two day break. Room was superb, large room on the second floor with a huge bay window and sea views. The staff are professional but friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The lounge areas are plentiful and comfortable and the bar is cosy and has a clubby feel to it. The restaurant has a good ambiance and is popular with non residents as well as residents which is not surprising given the superb choice and quality of the food, possibly the best food we have had in any hotel and over the years we have stayed in many both at home and abroad. We strongly recommend this hotel and will definitely be coming back in the future.

Welcomed for lunch with our 3 dogs thank you Dave for your attentive service. Recommend Sea Food Platter great value very fresh and tasty.

Food really good although queue was long

Bit of a queue but worth the wait for perfect fish & chips.
