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

A lovely lunch at The Fox. After a walk round the newbourn springs nature reserve. We shared two starters, bao buns and nachos, banana fritters desert and it was plenty. Very tasty and quick. Excellent staff always attentive. A little bit warmer and we would have sat outside which we have done in the summer. Recommend unreservedly.

As a family we have used the regal fish and chip restaurant over many years, we visited again this week, the quality of the food was amazing and the portion size of the large fish and chips was huge especially the fish which over hung my plate on both sides. My daughter and her friend had Gluten Free fish and chips and chose to have haddock, they said the batter was light and crispy and the best Gluten Free fish and chips they had ever had, would highly recommend and we will definitely be returning.

Had a lovely afternoon tea, which was beautifully presented. Nice to have the option to have it at lunchtime as ‘lunch’ although we still didn’t manage it all! Took the rest home for later - also lovely to be able to bring our dog too!

Our party of 5 was virtually ignored by staff who didn’t take our order until 30 minutes and after one of the party asked at the bar. Not all the food arrived said to be not entering system. Left not having any mains. Our bill had an item which was ordered but never arrived.

I haven't been to Dunwich for about 15 years. I remember there used to be a great tea room back then that my mother recommended! This must have long since gone! We had walked cross country from Southwold forgetting what a long walk it is We discovered dingle tea rooms at the end of the walk in a rural setting. It's a lovely setting with extensive barns and tables. Having frequented similar establishments in other parts of the country I thought we were in for a treat Nothing was wrong with the food it was just a little uninspiring. Very plain cakes and prawn sandwiches made from those tiny prawns you buy trozen. All nicely served by attentive waiting staff it just lacked that lush factor that you sometimes find in these sort of places. Maybe my expectations were too high.....

It’s a job to put into words this little gem. Beautifully prepared home made food, even the sandwiches are superb. We travel around and have lunches in many places, but always, say let’s go back to Ruby’s. Lovely friendly staff also.

Fantastic food - as always. Fresh, local produce prepared with love. David and his team are always so welcoming. Well worth the 260 mile round trip!

Really cosy environment. Friendly staff who go above and beyond to make sure all an ages of customers are looked after. Very tasty well cooked food. Look forward to coming back.

Wonderful historic sailing boat with very friendly crew & informative captain giving us interesting facts about the boat & the river as we were sailing but with plenty of silence in between so we could relax & take in the beautiful scenery in peaceful contemplation! The lunch was delicious & good quality with wine & soft drinks . I totally recommend this 3 hour round trip to enjoy the beautiful Suffolk countryside on the river . Big thank you to the crew & I look forward to our next river cruise with you in the future

I stayed there 23rd for wedding anniversary, well it’s living on the past , fine dinning restaurant , well that’s a joke they have no fine dining, It started with the room we walked in thought that’s nice 4 poster but there was cobwebs and dust on the bed , went to the bathroom there was cobwebs everywhere, there is no excuse for that , the teabags weren’t enough for 2 people , they hadn’t touched the room for I don’t know how long , There was a knock on the door had to order the meal I was very disappointed a choice of 4 meals , if we hadn’t booked there was nowhere to go without driving , Saturday they were closed for food

An absolutely lovely place for food and drink. Lovely, friendly efficient staff and interesting interior. There is an extensive menu of snacks, meals and drinks, hot and cold. The cheese and ham ciabatta and ham roll we had were delicious! There's a selection of cakes as well. It does get busy understandably but we'll worth trying to get a table. I believe you can book .

Met the owner at a Spanish food event about 20 years ago and bought oil and vinegars. Tootling away in the campervan one day we both wondered where we knew Peasenhall from. We then both yelled "EMMETTS" and stopped for supplies. The strawberry tree honey is still talked about. Now we stop whenever in the area. The date and lime chutney is wildly addictive and pairs with cheese and of course the wonderful beech smoked ham. The black bacon and ham is unique and had a taste of its own. Try getting the black streaky and wrapping around dried apricots or prunes (soak in tea and brandy with star anise and chilli) for a winter treat. The oak honey is rich and a small amount added to yoghurt and granola adds a subtle complex sweetness. It's off the beaten track, but you will beat a path to it's door once you sample the produce.

Great little tea rooms, with home made cakes, breakfasts & light bites, all made to order. Very friendly staff to us & our dog, with quick service. Had a lovely large pot of tea for one & cherry almond scone. Although struggled to choose a cake, as so much lovely selection. Prices very reasonable. Would go again if passing the area, but currently on holiday.

Absolutely gorgeous food!!! Excellent service well worth a visit or 2!! Lovely views off the sea it does get busy so may have to wait a few minutes for a table outside but lots inside too

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.
