British fish and chips is in our DNA! And as well as being blessed with countless pubs, restaurants and sites of interest, Suffolk is also home to a number of impressive fish and chip shops. Thanks to its proximity to the coast, visitors to our county are invited to enjoy some of the finest and freshest Cod, Haddock and chip shop chips you’ll find just about anywhere.

To help you enjoy Britain’s favourite dish in Suffolk, we’ve rounded up a bunch of the best fish and chip shops to visit when staying at Woodfarm Barns and Barges.
A family-run traditional chippy nearby our Barns for rent in Suffolk, Debenham Fish & Chips serves up all of the classic dishes in a quintessentially British setting. With a historic church opposite to its storefront and less than ten minutes from our Barns, this is a great place to stop in for a spot of grub when taking a holiday in Suffolk. They also get plenty of glowing reviews for their generous portion sizes, too. They use vegetable oil here, rather than fry in beef dripping, so the chips are suitable for veggies, and the fish for pescies.
Despite its name, Flora Tea Rooms in Dunwich, Suffolk, has established itself as one of the best traditional fish and chips cafes in Suffolk. Established over thirty years ago, this spot is only a twenty-five-minute drive from one of our Barges for rent and serves up a delectable range of chip shop classics. All of the fish and chip options at Flora Tea Rooms are cooked in rapeseed oil which is a healthier option and suitable for vegetarians as above (chips obvs!). The fish and chips are also cooked separately which means that they are able to cater for individuals who are gluten free by grilling their fish.
Aldeburgh Fish & Chips, Aldeburgh
Family run for over fifty years, Aldeburgh Fish & Chips belongs to one of Suffolk’s quaintest towns. Using the same methods now as they did back then, visitors are treated to truly traditional fish and chips. Only ten minutes drive from Onderneming, one of our Barges for rent in Suffolk, a takeaway from this fish and chip shop will be the perfect treat to round off a day out. The queue for this place is the stuff of legend!
People regularly line up patiently right down the street for their favourite chip fix! If there is a queue though and you don’t want to wait, then we have good news. They also own two other fish and chip shops! Well, sort of. The Golden Galleon is just down the street, and The Upper Deck is a traditional fish and chips shop. Wherever you end up, you are assured of the best fish and chips in Aldeburgh, and some say, the best fish and chips in Suffolk! High praise indeed!
If there’s one thing better than a fish and chip shop, it’s probably a pub. So beer options as well as chip options! It’s no surprise, then, that when you combine the two, you get something pretty special. Providing such a special setting in Suffolk, the Anchor in Woodbridge serves traditional fish and chip dishes alongside a fantastic range of beers and wines. This place truly does sell itself and it’s easily accessible from both our Barns and Barges, and is only a five-minute walk from Twee Gebroeders in Woodbridge.
Not on the list of chip shops as such, but another great pub! Billing itself as “a traditional Suffolk pub with a twist”, the Crown in Stowupland is another standout pub offering traditional fish and chip dishes alongside a fine selection of real ales and beers. Only ten minutes drive from our Barns for rent, it’s safe to say that we’ve sampled their range many times and can confirm they are well worth checking out for fab fish & chips.
Complete with a thatched roof and sprawling beer garden, the Four Horseshoes in Eye is very much the quintessential Suffolk pub. What makes it particularly special, though, is its exceptional fish and chip dinners that can be enjoyed with a collection of local ales. Ideal for those looking to experience the best that Suffolk has to offer when it comes to food and drink, the Four Horseshoes is only fifteen minutes drive from our Barns for rent.
In summary, Suffolk offers some of the best traditional fish and chips, with a variety of top spots near the coast serving fresh, high-quality fare. Visitors can enjoy a true taste of British seaside culture alongside Suffolk’s many pubs, eateries, and attractions.
