Great pub in Southwold next to lighthouse.
Great food and specials available.
No bookings, just walk in. Great range of beers most brewed 50 meters away! Our children, 13, 11 and 9 loved the food too. Looking forward to returning, just myself and wife one day
Such a lovely little pub right next to the lighthouse. The food was absolutely delicious and we couldn't fault the service - definitely the best beef burger I've tasted in a long time!
The Sole Bay Inn has always been one of my favourite Suffolk pubs. I recently had lunch at the pub with my uncle, and having just discovered I have a gluten intolerance, I was pleased to find out it has a gluten free menu and Adnams Ease Up IPA (also GF) on tap. I resisted the gluten-free fish and chips and went for the seafood salad. It was nice but could have done with a little more seasoning and salad ‘components’ beyond a few leaves. Some of the fish was also on the chewy side. It’s nice to know I can still eat at the pub though.
Visited this pub on a Sunday afternoon. Initially it was quite busy, with only a couple of seats available, however it become quieter during the afternoon. Nice, relaxed vibe and dog friendly. Plenty of options on the menu and specials board. We went for the potted prawns and fish a chips - both were generous portions and very tasty. As expected, the local beer was very good. We would definitely visit again.
The food blew us away! Our party had four different dishes between us, and we were all very happy. Wide range of Adnams beers (obviously). The staff were friendly.
Excellent fish and chips! They also serve a selection of beers, including bottled Adnams bitter and ghost ship, wines and beverages. Nice to sit outside in the February sunshine, by the harbour.
Had a pint of stout nice pub didn't try the food
A busy pub, across the road from the lighthouse in Southwold, dogs are very welcome. A good lunch menu, well cooked and turned around quickly despite being busy. The half pint of prawns in the light bite menu and some really good choices of mains for all of us. A good selection of the local Adnams beer on tap made for a good afternoon. The staff were friendly and cheerful. We will return again after a good experience.
Matt and the team are the best. So welcoming and knowledgeable of the local food and drinks. My family didn’t want to eat, but I would travel the globe for the Scampi and Chips at this establishment. Matt suggested he did me a takeaway box so I wouldn’t be disappointed. Now that is going the extra mile. Thank you to all at the Sole Bay in. Highly recommended. 5 star service. Looking forward to seeing you all again soon.
