The best restaurants serving Default food in Carlton Colville Waveney East of England

Unfortunately I think this cafe has gone downhill. I visit it regularly but today I was with one other person for just coffee and scone/tea cake. My friend’s scone arrived warmed but I had to wait 29 mins for my tea cake and he had finished his coffee and scone by the time mine arrived. I had to go to the counter twice to ask for them to query where mine was. Very disappointing with Off-hand staff who didn’t seem bothered!

It was a lovely Sunday lunch. We had to pre-order which is tricky but it was a very large group so understandable. The staff were very kind understanding and courteous. The manager was lovely and helpful. The venue is a beautiful old pub decorated with care and sensitivity. All in all very nice thank you x

I’ve been here for a few afternoon teas and lunches. The food is always lovely and cooked well, the themed afternoon teas are always really fun and a great treat for the local area. However the staff are not very attentive, they give you your food/drinks and leave you! It states unlimited drinks but they don’t ask if you need more, they don’t even check if your food is okay or if you need anything. At one point my friend said ‘excuse me’ and tried getting the attention of staff at the table next to us and the staff member just walked away, when we finally managed to ask for more tea they huffed like we were an inconvenience. There were also loads of hairs on our food, I think they were blowing around because they just kept appearing, maybe because they allow dogs. It’s a shame because I love the afternoon teas but it has put me off.

I would 100% recommend & rate this as the number 1 best pub in Suffolk. This pub used to be a restaurant unfortunately didn’t take off very well. So the owner Derek (who is a lovely man) turned it around into a full scale pub. With a pool table,dart board & big TV’s and nice seating areas in and outside. I’ve been going to this pub only for about a year or 2. The service is 5* every time without fail. Staff are a o friendly. Even the locals are welcoming. They have a nice play area down the bottom with a swing and a slide to accommodate kids. The atmosphere is always very chilled and relaxed in there which brings a nice vibe in the pub but probably not for business. But overall I cannot rate this pub anymore. Well worth a visit and to recommend to family and friends!

Lovely experience here. Lovely and warm. Food was served hot and the scampi and chips were lovely and golden. One had a sandwich which was served in fresh bread with generous filling. Staff were very friendly. Will definitely be going again.l

Stopped lunch time on Friday 31st March 2023, I was sceptical as there was no chippy smell, ordered chips, and had to wait for a very surly man-who said nothing-to put a few chips in the frier. There was a sense of foreboding as I was the only customer at lunchtime, and no chips frying or ready🤔 After eagerly awaiting my chips, I adorned them with salt and vinegar and took them to the car. The ‘chips’ were absolutely disgusting, with 25% being black inside the chip. There was no ‘chip taste’ and we have eaten at many chippies in Lowestoft with no previous issues These were either frozen/reconstituted and we put them in the bin. This business is in need of an in-depth viability assessment, and indeed, whether this man should be working with the public. Without doubt, the worst chips my wife and I have ever experienced
