The rustic Seafood harbour restaurant in Southwold has risen from the ashes! We are back better than before. We remain dog friendly & are open lunchtimes every day.

    Lovely to be able to revisit now that the restaurant has opened again following last year’s fire. The interior has been restored to an even higher standard than before and the food is delicious. The fresh crab with chips and salad was exceptional. Deep fried Colchester oyster for starters. Helpful friendly staff.
