The best restaurants serving Default food in Aldeburgh Suffolk Coastal East of England

Especially visiting on Friday afternoon/night... a very pleasant atmosphere

On Friday 11th October, my wife and me were looking forward to our fish and chips at lunchtime. We ordered 2 medium haddock and one portion of chips.The haddock was very small and mainly batter.The cost of this meal was £25, our local chippie charges around £18 for 2 pieces of large fish and a large portion of chips.We were very disappointed as we have been eating there each time we visit. Not next time we come to Aldeburgh.

Not good ice cream at all. Pistachio was very bad.. made with mostly almonds.

Stopped in here after a lovely walk along the sea front. We were too early for evening food but we're made to feel extremely welcome. The lady behind the bar was extremely friendly and attentive to us. When the kitchen opened one of our group has dietary requirements that meant changes to the advertised meal, again she was so knowledgeable. The food was hot and fresh and all four of us said we will be returning on our next visit. Thank you!

Had a lovely table every meal overlooking the sea

Wanted coffee and cake went inside was told table service explained two were sitting outside. So would like a table for three. Which a harassed woman said oh upstairs well I have a bad knee so did not follow. When she returned I said can’t we sit here two tables were available but we would need to move a chair oh no she said. It was only having coffee and cake. So unobliging no customer service. I would dread to see her on a really busy day.

Asked to speak to the manager after an appalling meal, plates came up cold, lager was flat, sheek kebab which was meant to be grilled in a tandoori, was just microwaved mush, mixed vegetable bhaji had very under cooked hard veg, chicken Jalfrezi was amateurish and very unappealing, naan bread cold and not white, puffy and slightly blackened from the tandoor, do they actually have one? Fish dish covered in green slime and to top off such an expensive meal, cheap paper serviettes! Non Indian manager was interested to hear my comments but ultimately dismissive as so many of their customers say the food is so good ! 😅

Having had several lovely visits for a morning coffee, visited last week to be told that they only do cold drinks? Very disappointed.

A quiet start to a Saturday morning breakfast service but the drinks and food were slow to appear. When they came it was an excellent coffee and the pancakes were good. The toilet was a mess one set of taps were broken and not very hygienic so it’s a 3 and a half out of five.

Stopped here for some breakfast and on entering we were met by a very cheerful friendly lady who showed us to a table. We had a yummy breakfast, it was delicious, together with some great coffee. All the staff were attentive, happy, and cheerful. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely go again when visiting Aldeburgh!

Amazing xx lovely staff and atmosphere and full vegan menu which was yummy! Restaurant was clean and beautifully presented. Fairly priced and so close to the beach.

The ice-creams looked lovely, but we had four coffee's, 3 out of 4 said they were weak and watery, there's far better coffees available in Aldeburgh!

Popped in for a seaside dessert and was thrilled by the choice of ice cream and other things available. Ice cream was great, if a little melting

We visited for a quick lunch for four after browsing the high street - we went and sat outside after being unsure whether to seat ourselves or whether we would be shown to a table; due to no signage and not being greeted at the door. We were given menus and listed off numerous items that weren’t available but ordered other items of the menu instead. However, a few minutes later the waitress came back to inform one of us that they also didn’t have the waffles we had ordered. Another 5 minutes past when the same girl came back to say they had no croque monsieur - we reordered both of these items and changed them. After 15 minutes we were given our drinks on a blistering day with no ice - we asked for ice. Given such a lovely day we had decided to sit outside, conveniently this was next to a window which separated us and the bar/kitchen area. However, the window to the bar was open so we could hear the staff openly discussing having no ice and having to go across the road to buy some - however they did not inform us, so were left sat there to the point we had to go back inside and re-ask. When the food arrived, it came in increments of 5 minutes, so all my friends had begun eating and I was still waiting on the bruschetta. When it finally arrived, it looked deceivingly appetising, however upon further inspection this was not the case. The toasted bread was soaked in balsamic vinegar to the point you could ring it out with a fork (almost like a sponge). It had completely lost its crunch and was incredibly acidic and soggy. I asked to change my bread as it was inedible - instead of giving me new toasted bread I was instead given 4 slices of white bread. Which isn’t exactly rectifying a valid complaint. By this time everyone else finished their meals, I had decided to leave the stale bread, and take it back into the waitress to reexplain why I wasn’t happy with it. I was greeted with a smirk, as she took it back to the kitchen, with the still window open! We could hear them impersonating us and mocking the complaint. We went and addressed the waitress for her unprofessional behaviour and rudeness to which all of the staff came out of the kitchen - to raise their voices and argue with us. We said we would pay for everything but the Bruschetta to which we were met with aggression, rudeness and an argument with multiple members of staff. A total lack of customer service, with a lack of care from all aspects. Would never return!
