Restaurant · Southwold
Tucked away from the high-street crowds, this has an outdoor seating area that's genuinely lovely — raised beds full of flowers, herbs and veg — plus a bright, airy room with a charming mix of painted furniture. Free parking helps, and there's buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu. Staff are friendly and easy-going with families, and the coffee is widely rated the finest in Southwold. Food leans homemade: the porchetta falls apart, the barley orzotto is full of herbs, and the house desserts — lemon tart with roasted rhubarb, crisp-chewy meringue — are worth staying for. Breakfast is popular too, though the full English is a modest, non-traditional version rather than a big fry-up, and portions can feel light for the price. Book if you're coming at lunch, as it fills up. Vegan options available.
