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

Today we had a lovely meal at the Fox. Historically they have always been ahead of the intollerance menu especially with their gluten free gravy. Today I was offered at least three choices for a main meal - usually I have to have what they can do me! It was quite refreshing and I was not ill, so I am very pleased. Their menu was clear with the Gluten free and Dairy free options. (Sometimes I am asked to scan a huge chart which I cannot read as it is so small with so much information.) I give up! But today all clear and concise. Great service and so quick from the kitchen we were surprised. We will be returning soon. 5 stars all round. Thank you.

Popped in today for fish and chips to take to the beach and eaten out of the paper (no better way to experience the seaside) The fish was huge and beautifully cooked. Batter was tasty and fish thick, long and flaky......perfect! Chips were great too. So much food even the dog got a bit (and she loved it too) Highly recommended and can't wait to return.

As always John and his team are impeccable in every way. They achieve a warm memorable dining experience

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 .

My wife popped in for coffee on a cold day out for a walk. Often pass here on way to the beach. Great menu and busy. We managed to get a Sunday morning table before lunch. Coffee was excellent and we succumbed to sharing a scone with clotted cream and jam. Friendly service and good value.

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.....

The Froize was a firm favourite of my dear departed Mum and Step Dad but I hadn’t been back for several years since we lost them . When my husband suggested the idea of Sunday Lunch as part of a birthday celebration we jumped at the idea of going back to the Froize as it had been such a favourite of the whole family. It was as good as it ever was if not better. From the warm welcome, to cosy bar and charming dining room everything was lovely. But best of all was the food, a choice of roasted beef or pork ( or both if you’re really hungry) , a delicious looking rabbit pie, pot roast partridge, lamb shanks or a choice of vegetarian dishes. I struggled to choose but opted for the double roast and was not disappointed, in fact I would say the roast pork was the best I have ever eaten. So tasty and with superb crackling. The Carvery options were accompanied but a range of vegetables, super homemade Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes. The chef patron was serving all his customers, engaging with everyone and was happy to explain the provenance of ingredients which clearly is of high quality and this showed in such tasty food. A good choice of puddings too if you have the room. My only regret is that I left it so long to go back: won’t make that mistake again.

This was our third trip on the Lady Florence. This time for breakfast. The food is prepared and cooked on board whilst we motor along the river. The dining room is comact - if there are 12 people on board, then it does get a little 'cosy'. However, on this occassion we chartered the boat for just the four of us, so it was very roomy. There is a wood burning stove on board that keeps the dining room very warm. Breakfast was rounded off with homemade apple pie and muffins!

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

Been coming here for many years now Staff and service and food are excellent Out of all of the other all day breakfasts I’ve had, this is still the absolute number one, hats off to the staff and the chefs, all totally faultless, kind regards to you all, take care, see you soon Mark from Billericay 😃👍

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.

Terrace cafe is lovely light & airy with views over golf course. The food menu for breakfast & lunch only.

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

Excellent food but service slow and unprofessional. Staff seem inexperienced and would benefit from training. Unfortunately the role of providing service is generally underrated in the UK hospitality sector. It makes the difference between an average and an exceptional experience.

Got a takeaway Cappucino, sausage roll and biscuits for the dog🤣. The sausage roll is exceptionally good👌🌟🌟. Coffee is great too. The Jack Russell enjoyed his biscuits, plus a bit of my sausage roll🙄😅. Service was prompt, efficient and polite. Totally recommend.
