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

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

We haven't been here for a while but decided to try it as it had always served good food and we weren't disappointed! Both of us ordered fish and chips which arrived hot and quickly. It was really tasty and the portions were just right. The beer and wine were great and we had a lovely relaxing evening. Beautiful views over the harbour and wetlands.

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.

Lovely little bakery in this seaside town. food was absolutely divine, great customer service from all the staff. Very fresh and clean inside the bakery and lovely little court yard out back.

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.

What a rip off for £23! They had hardly any chips left, so rather than cook fresh ones they gave us the scraps they had left! Bear in mind it was only 12:30, not close to closing time! Chewy dried up chips! Fish was ok, nothing special. All very greasy and below average!

This is an interesting restaurant - small and with friendly staff. Food was very good - we particularly enjoyed the sharing dessert platter. The only issue we had was that choice of courses, perhaps unsurprisingly given the size of the restaurant, was a little limited - good choice of fish and vegetarian dishes but limited meat options and one or two surprising combinations. Worth looking at the menu online before you book in case you don’t fancy enough choices.

£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

Great place, old style pub in the heart of Southwold town. We ate in the evening. Lovely food, not sophisticated but very well cooked, sensible portion size and served quickly. Bar had a broad selection of Adnams ales, all in all an excellent evening. Friendly to humans and dogs.

Fantastic pub close to the beach and town. Good selection of beers and a varied menu of excellent food

We called midweek for fish and chips and was very disappointed. Having been several times in the past year this visit was well below par. The fish was very small. I asked for cod but it was more like a Plaice fillet, very flat. Because of this it was very overcooked. Perhaps I went on a bad day but for what they charge you can’t have bad days. Roll on the day when Mrs T’s reopens next door.

Bought 2 eccles cakes they tasted nothing like a eccles cakes, The filling had a funny taste and a lack of fruit, they went in the bin.

Lovely food, lovely wine, charming friendly service, especially when our waitress said "really enjoyed serving you' Right, now a slight whinge - NOT aimed at the Crown alone but at ALL restaurants that add service to the bill, even discretionary. Why are they adding service on the VAT???? Happy to pay service on the net of VAT amount but NOT service on the Tax as well.
