A friend and I visited on 10 Oct on the off-chance as we were on a day trip to Aldeburgh and Southwold. We were warmly welcomed by James who provided a very good lunch and great coffee for us, chatted about his experience at ninedeli pre and post pandemic and why he now plans to open new premises at Kessingland - Southwold's loss!

The Black Dog Deli

Walberswick, Southwold

We come to Walberswick every year to a friend 's caravan. We always look forward to eating out of The Black Dog Deli probably 2 nights out of 3. We love the quiches, salads and sausage rolls. Also something delicious for afternoon tea. And we buy a frozen meal for when we get home.

I only went in for a couple of pints. The atmosphere was good and the service was great. They only do the black dog pizza menu which is not to everyone's taste but I personally think they are delicious.

Dining at Sutherland House

56 High St, Southwold

This was probably our 4th visit to Sutherland House over quite a few years. We visited with friends and managed to bag their only table for four which was good. Service was friendly and the food was excellent as always. I enjoyed the sole for a main & bread and butter pudding for dessert.

Adnams Brewery

Sole Bay Brewery, E Green, Southwold

Keith who led the tour was excellent ambassador for Adnams. He had a lot of local knowledge about Southwold and the area and expertly gave a very informative tour about the brewing process and how the different beers are made. The tour was a perfect length at 1 hour and 30 minutes with plenty of opportunities to try different Adnams beers. You also get a voucher to exchange to get a free bottle or can from Adnams shop to take away with you. Great value for money, recommend booking advance online to avoid disappointment!

Suzie's Cafe

Promenade, Southwold

Best place in Southwold for sandwiches and coffee. Try the crab sandwiches on brown bread you get salad with it and some crisps. Fish finger rolls are amazing!

Great place to visit and even when busy they do well to manage. Always excellent and lovely staff. One of our family's favourite places to go to for lunch. Suzie and her staff are brilliant!

Ann and her colleagues do a lovely job running the place. Food is fresh and very well priced. Great atmosphere in the summer and only a shame it isn’t open all year round but I understand the reasons for it not!

Good work :)

Stopped for lunch. Good variety of food on offer, freshly cooked. Quality was very good. Decent selection of ales on offer with a leaning towards Adnams on draught, but not exclusively. Plenty of other bottles beers on offer.

The food was nice enough, I think the service was a bit lacking to be honest and there were a few people mentioning outside how they felt the same but I honestly think the staff were just really busy and tired. The food itself was really fresh

Excellent fish n chips couldn't fault them service was a bit unconventional, into the restaurant then out round the back to order meal/drinks, then back out front to the restaurant to wait for meal (worth waiting for) but all in all a really good Fish n Chip shop well worth a visit.

Beach Bistro

Pier, Southwold

We've been going to the Beach Bistro in Southwold for a few years and have always enjoyed the food.LocationThe fish n' chip shop is ideally and centrally located at the entrance to the pier. You can get access from either outside or from inside the arcades. Loads of seating are available outside, ideal when the weather cooperates but not so good when in the rain. Occasionally, we'll hire a beach hut, bring it back, and eat inside our hut - it's such a great way to enjoy fish and chips at the seaside!PriceWe've always found the price to be quite reasonable. We've previously ordered some bespoke items (such as calamari), which is perhaps more on the punchy side, but otherwise, it's pretty much what you'd expect to pay at the coast.FoodThe food is superb! An easy 5-star from all of us. The fish is super tasty, cooked well, and has a nice crispy batter. The fish portion size is reasonable (not too large or too small) and consistent. The chips are also great. Maybe the fish-to-chip ratio is slightly off (a few more chips would be appreciated), but honestly, that's just a minor criticism. Otherwise, all good-If you're in Southwold, you've got a few potential spots for traditional seaside food, but I don't think you can go much wrong at the Beach Bistro. Thanks, we'll be back soon.Kid-friendliness: The Beach Bistro is next to the arcades at the pier, and kids are welcome.Parking: There’s plenty of paid parking, few a couple of mins from the pier.
