It can sometimes be quite hard to decide where to eat when you are out and about – especially in a new place. So, here we have collated the best Suffolk eateries, with great seafood on offer for you, whilst you’re enjoying a stay at our Barns and Barges for rent.

The Lighthouse – Aldeburgh

Situated in one of the top Suffolk spots for a beach day out, The Lighthouse Restaurant, a Michelin Guide Restaurant, is also one of the best places in Suffolk to enjoy a meal out. With seafood options varying from the classic fish and chips, prawn and crayfish cocktail, crab arrabbiata, oysters, squids and so much more, as well as non-seafood options, there is something for everyone at The Lighthouse in Aldeburgh. So, whilst you’re out and about exploring Aldeburgh, make sure to pop into The Lighthouse to enjoy a luxurious meal out.

Ash Smoked Fishes – Aldeburgh 

Situated on Aldeburgh beach, Ash Smoked Fishes are one of the best seafood restaurants in Suffolk. Whilst typically smoking of fish is done as a preservative, here, their fish is lightly smoked so there is an enhancement to the flavour. So, enjoy a wide range of smoked fishes as well as pates, tarts and pastries, whilst you sit, eat and enjoy the view out towards the North Sea from Aldeburgh beach – what is not to love? 

The Codfather – Sudbury

Whilst Sudbury isn’t the seaside, what is not to love about a fish and chip takeaway? Rated as one of the highest fish and chips takeaways on Tripadvisor in Suffolk, it just had to be mentioned. So, if you are out and about exploring South Suffolk and the market town of Sudbury, make sure you pop in and enjoy the fish and chips in front of Sudbury Church.

Butley Oysterage – Orford
