The best restaurants serving British food in Waveney East of England

What a truly fabulous old fashioned pub with very welcoming landlady Anni and her customers, especially Janet and Peter, when we joined in Quingo yesterday afternoon. It was thrilling to win the picture quiz. The room was warm and cosy due to its great wood burner stove. The complimentary sandwiches were an added bonus! Thank you so much for the welcome and will join you all again in the New Year.

Love this little cafe. I can phone ahead when I'm on deliveries and Lesley will have my breakfast roll waiting for me. If I eat in and on a diet Lesley will also do a ‘synfree’ meal for me. Really friendly and clean, perfect in every way

Came here for a breakfast, was served promptly and politely. Food was tasty, even better they serve sausages from archers so your know you’re getting quality for your money 👌 10/10 will be visiting again.

The best butcher I've been to?quite possibly. Everything is just quality. I love their mighty pork chops sometimes with a bit of kidney. All their bbq fare is spot on, and their seasonal faggots are incredible. The cheese counter is amazing too if you fancy some up market cheese with bread and wine on your hols. Local honey sold too. So more than a butcher! Family are lovely serving and and it's now sons and daughters on the sign 👍

Lovely place for coffee. Clean, good service, delicious scones, very nice coffee. The cakes looked wonderful.

A quick visit for a drink, we were welcomed like regulars. We were the only ones in when we arrived, and settled next to the fire. A few regulars arrived and we were happy to chat and felt welcomed by them too. Great value drinks and will be back when we holiday again in the area!

We are not local to Suffolk but this was the best Indian I’ve ever been too, excellent customer service. Great portion sizes too and good value for money.

How Posh Pigs gets rated higher than this wonderful place is quite beyond me. Don't get me wrong, anywhere else PP would be the best in the area by a country mile, but MA's Airfied Diner trumps it easily on all counts. The ingredients are better quality, the atmosphere is far better, it is much more welcoming and the breakfasts and superb home cooked dishes are considerably superior. Plus they fry fried bread instead of boiling it in oil which is an abomination. I too would prefer china instesad of paper plates but you have to consider the practicalities they face in trying to keep their prices so reasonable vs. staff costs for washing up (only two max in the kitchen, and they work flat-out cooking). For food this good I'll happily live with that (very) minor popint. Everyone I take there says it is the best breakfast they've ever had. 'nuff said.

What a treat, we sat in a garden pod with our dog. It was a very different experience but thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was wonderful, the staff attentive. Would definitely recommend.

Seven friends on holiday together went to The Rumburgh Buck for a last evening dinner having had drinks in the garden a few days earlier. This pub is wonderful - friendly and very welcoming. It is unspoilt how I imagine it has been for many years; flag stone floors, benches and the occasional slightly wobbly table. We preordered our meals for steak night, excellent value and absolutely delicious steak, mine was a perfect medium rare. Highly recommend a visit to this little gem in the Suffolk countryside

Lovely, quirky cafe with plenty for the children to do. Very reasonably priced, popped in for coffee and cake and spent the whole afternoon there. Ride on toys, Wendy house, books, tennis, delicious cakes and plenty on the menu for all ages. Very friendly staff and parking not a problem.

The Woodbine Cafe is now an oriental takeaway - sadly the old traditional British restaurant is no more. My wife and I had a takeaway from here recently - the food was pretty decent and prices were comparable to most Chinese takeaways in the area. Delivery took a little longer than expected (around an hour) and they apologised for that. Would consider using them again although there are cheaper options in town.

Popped in for a drink. Brilliant place. Didn't eat myself but food looked awesome. Staff were lovely and the locals were so friendly.

Went for lunch yesterday. As we normally do when staying in Southwold. Only difference this time was we lost Bailey beagle just before Xmas and this was one off he's favourite pubs. So it was abit strange without him. Had the pork chop off the special broad what was excellent and good value Also a scampi and chips. Staff are friendly and welcoming as always. Be back in August.

Good variety of food options on the menu and good quality food. Given the name of the establishment, we were slightly disappointed by the wine list, as it only had a relatively small selection from which to choose and the list itself was very poorly printed. They do however have a good range of cocktails, which were very nice. Seating upstairs much quieter than downstairs
