The best restaurants serving British food in Southwold and Reydon Waveney East of England

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 👍

Had lunch here today. What fantastic food. I had Sea Bass and it was so good. I would definitely order this same dish again. We were also served the battered haddock and that was just as good. Lovely crispy batter and so fresh. Great food and the best service. Staff were very friendly and helpful despite being busy. What a place, hope to be going back soon.

Delicious Suffolk chorizo and local cheese baked potato served with a great cuppa! Our dog was made very welcome and the service was great.

We were in Southwold for the day and wanted a tasty lunch, we had seen the cafe a couple of weeks ago when on holiday and the reviews looked good The cafe certainly didn’t disappoint, we sat at a table under the verandah overlooking the lake with our dog and ordered jacket potatoes with cheese and beans, side salad and coleslaw - it was a beautiful sunny mild day (18C) The potatoes were beautifully cooked with a fluffy hot inside filled with cheese and beans and the salad had a really tasty vinaigrette on it, plus a cappuccino and a tea Happy and helpful staff, serving really good food at a very competitive price made our day and we will return on our next visit to Southwold Thanks to all staff

Came here a few times when on holiday. Had croissants, sausage rolls, sourdough bread, baguettes and cinnamon swirls. All amazing! Always a queue but worth the wait

Simply the best beach cafe with an amazing view of the sea and beach. Excellent at lunch as well as afternoon tea. One word of warning, look out for pesky seagulls.

Excellent breakfast before a round ar next door Southwold Golf Club . All day breakfast very well priced at £8 and it set us up nicely for a battle against the wind.

Since it was launched last year, this has become our lockdown weekly treat. I cannot recommend this highly enough, they are all amazing and I cannot pick a favourite.

Lovely hotel. Impeccable service. Decor in the rooms is very tasteful. Staff polite and helpful. Sufficient car parking. Located centrally. Complementary small bottle of Adnams gin in the room is the perfect touch. Would highly recommend

Best way to describe this lovely place is lts a pub ln the best tradition of our pubs great atmosphere. Lovely friendly service do visit if your ever in southwold Great to see they do the old jug lol

I’d seen good things about this place so I took my family there for a birthday dinner, and it definitely wasn’t what we were expecting. While my fish and chips tasted great, the server (who I believed to be called Tim or Tom) was incredibly rude to both me and my son. I asked for a server to take a drinks order, just to be met with a rude “not now, I’m busy”. The same gentleman also ignored my son when he asked for the deserts menu, he asked again and the gentlemen answered “just give me a minute”. I’m willing to assume we met him on a bad day, but this ruined the entire experience for me and equally for my family. The food all around was amazing, just a shame it was let down but such poor service. Susan

Stopped here without booking. It turned out to be the best Sunday lunch I can recall having for a long time. Vegetables appeared all freshly prepared and cooked. Every mouthful was full of flavour. The jus with the Yorkshire pudding was amazing. My wife really enjoyed the pork loin and the Butternut wellington I had was really tasty. It was worthy of the £19.50 price. Good service also.

Really lovely cafe - and fantastic breakfasts. We intended to try a few different places in Southwold during our stay, but came here on our first morning and enjoyed it so much we came back here every day. The service was great and food was delicious.

The place is definitely popular as there were two queues from different doors so confusing from the beginning. They must have been closing down as there were different flavours on each side and the servers seemed to be rushing to call last order. The gelato was delicious though, just not sure if it makes up for the wait and price.

£39 for a 3 course Sunday lunch or £36 for 2 courses?! No veggie roast dinner option although I was offered frozen veg sausages or just a load of veg. It was VERY expensive for an average service and an ok meal. The carrots were hard and no green veg but other than that it was ok just VERY expensive for what it was. Also the front.l of the building needs some attention, entering is quite depressing with peeling paint etc Also we ate in the bar and a local came in and was chatting away to the bar man and frequently swearing at high wasn’t pleasant
