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

Stopped in for a quick pint during a trek around Southwold. Lovely tidy pub, very welcoming. Dog friendly of course (Adams pub).

I have used this bakery every time l go to Southwold. Good quality pastries.

We visited The Crown for a midweek lunch. We had our dog with us so didn’t want the formal dining room. The tables at the front were busy so we found a cosy snug at the back which was almost empty. We had a catch of the day fish and chips, complete with excellent crunchy chips and a smoked fish platter, also very nice. As expected, the full range of Adnams beers were available and in excellent condition. However, what we must really commend The Crown on was the attentive staff. Nothing was too much trouble for them. For example, I asked the barman if there was any water bowls for dogs outside? No need to go outside he replied and dropped what he was doing and brought one to our table. We will definitely return when we ext visit Southwold.

Three night stay at this hotel. We had a large room on the front but were not bothered by the traffic noise. The room was very comfortable and clean. The decor was outdated but they are apparently in a refurbishment programme. Breakfast was super, plenty on offer and hot food excellent. The young girls that run the front of house were very friendly and helpful, nothing too much trouble. Good value for money.

We were spending the day in Southwold and went to Squires for lunch about 12:15, quaint little place and staff were friendly. We ordered Cottage Pie and Liver and Bacon Casserole, after a wait of about 30 mins dinner arrived but instead of Cottage Pie I got Fish Pie, they took it away to replace with what I had ordered, well this took 20 mins, so by this time my other half had finished his meal and I had to eat alone During my waiting time I was waiting I observed 2 other tables place orders and were told about 15 mins later what they had chosen had 'run out' and were invited to reselect, why does it take that long? At the end of the meal I was told due to the inconvenience they reduced the bill by a small amount. Payment for food is by taking the hand written bill from the waiting staff to attached sweet sweet shop and queuing up with other customers making purchases, in my case I was no 4 in the queue. Curious to find out how much my meal was reduced by I checked the bill, the 2 meals and 2 drinks were itemised and in fact my meal had been reduced by £2 but there was an additional seperate amount of £2.50, I queried this with the 'sweet shop lady' and she checked with one on the waiting staff who agreed it was a mistake. All in all not a vey good experience.

We were looking for a non pub meal early evening. Went here at 18:30 , board outside offering meals, no-one inside, told we are fully booked. More like we were wearing shorts - tailored I might add. Pretentious little place that does not deserve to survive
