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

Excellent 3 course lunch. Relaxed congenial surroundings. Nice staff. Experience enjoyed all the more due to no yapping dogs being fed at tables which so often now seems to be a feature! Thank you.

Lovely decor, delicious food and very reasonably priced. I've been for lunch, afternoon tea and Sunday lunch; all meals have been fantastic with service to match. The cauliflower cheese on the Sunday lunch is one of the best I've eaten.

Welcomed for lunch with our 3 dogs thank you Dave for your attentive service. Recommend Sea Food Platter great value very fresh and tasty.

Food lovely and the service was exceptional.

Food really good although queue was long

Just found out that the Rising Sun in Aldeburgh has closed down. What a terrible shame. The best chinese takeaway around. My husband isn't keen on chinese but has always enjoyed their food. It's ashame that they didn't have the space to convert to a restaurant as they would have made a killing. It's been reported that it's for financial and personal reasons. I know we are still in the grip of a cost of living crisis but we would have been prepared to pay higher cost for their great food. Goodbye Rising Sun you will be sorely missed

The lunch menu offered Trout as a main so I ordered it, when it came it was only a very small fillet not even enough for a starter, also to much salad I was very disappointed 😥 when the menu says trout one expects to get a whole fish. The grand children who were with us had children's portions which were far bigger than mine, my meal was an over priced disgrace.

Absolute filth. Walked out the shop, had a few chips then threw them in the bin. Dry and nasty.

This review is about Marriott Fisheries not honouring a delivery. . One star is far too generous. On Wednesday 14 February I emailed Marriott Fisheries Aldeburgh to ask if they could supply shellfish for 10 people for Saturday 17 February. A birthday party surprise. Received emails in reply from Oliver Marriott who I conversed with over couple of days. No problem he said, we deliver to Dunwich . My brother Luke will deliver on Saturday between 4 & 5pm, he’ll call you when he gets there. We could pay Luke when he arrived as they have a mobile card reader. Sure enough at 4:10pm on Saturday I received a phone call from Luke but instead of delivering the order, he said his van had broken down in Southwold. No problem I said I can come and pick the order up. I’ll call you back he said after I’ve spoken to someone. He rang back and as we’d already guessed fobbed me off with apologies. They obviously hadn’t even prepared my order (obvious from the start) and let me down literally at the last minute. Use Marriott Fishers at your peril, as they are unprofessional and unreliable. Go to The Aldeburgh Market fish shop instead. Fantastic service. We phoned them around 5pm and explained we’d been let down by Marriott Fisheries and they supplied everything we had originally ordered and at a lower price too. Shellfish, service and professionalism was fantastic from The Aldeburgh Market.
