"I visited today with my sons 2 and 9, their grandma and great grandma. The staff were sooo brilliant and they have a great menu of homemade and local food. It is extreemly child friendly with colouring and an array of plastic tablewear and childrens...cutlery. They make by far the best latte I have ever had and the ham egg and chips were out of this world. They are friendly and accomodating and the view is fantastic. I could not recommend this place more and it knocks spots off others."

"nicely maintained beach pub. we were here for two nights. staff very helpful, rooms modern well furnished and clean. bathroom modern clean and all facilities. breakfast: simple full English if you want and most other usual things. well cooked on both mornings. in. all very nice. a tad expensive on the room side, but as everything was good I am not broken. only negatiw was that the wifi did not exist most of the time when I wanted it (not much). they set up breakfast in front of the roaring log burner I found uncomfortable so we moved (not a problem). the big question is if I stay back?"

"We absolutely adore dining at The Bell. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, we received exceptional service from the friendly staff, particularly the blonde girl Ellie who made a delicious cocktail for my wife. The food was superb and reasonably priced, some of the best I've had in a while. We will definitely be returning soon."

"The Froize is lovely! We are arrived to a cosy and welcoming bar for a pre dinner drink served by a friendly lady. We went through to our table and were taken aback by the food on display on the hot table. It looked and...smelled delicious and it was really hard to choose. It seemed like the chef and host David has figured out everyone’s or so favourite meals and then added his own knowledge of flavours to take them to another level. Puddings were another tough choice and didn’t disappoint. Don’t confuse The Froize with a buffet or carvery, it is so much more than that. It’s a restaurant where you can see and smell the dishes before you choose and then you’re served by the chef himself. The tables are well spaced so you don’t feel squeezed in or crowded and the atmosphere is quite special. I could write much more but I will just say that The Froize is perfect in every way and give my thanks to the team for a lovely evening. It was our first visit but most definitely will be the first of many more."

"I met a colleague here at the breakfast meeting. I took the kids. I ordered a chai latte with milk, 2 avocado on sourdough, 1 hafer milk hot chocolate, a can of diet coke and jam on toast. all came to 25 pounds. the children wouldn't eat the dead or smash the sourdough, because the sourdough was hard and not tasty, they said. I ate my avo on toast, it was hard, but I was hungry. was nice sitting on the front side, the staff was nice and glued to vegan items. it was just a lot of money really, and then they don't have any toilets for their customers so that they're on the public loos around the corner."

"we were on a late morning visit and tied lunch so this was a first visit. when we had the dog with us, we sat outside, but in the covered area. at the bar and the staff very friendly ordered. my wife had beer battered fishing finger sandwich I had blt. both came with a little bite and crawling with a nasalate. my wife sandwich was excellent, but mine had a little brot. asked if they had salat dress or saw and was said no!? the fish fingers were big and she was very happy, but as I have a little disappointed with my blt especially at the price of good that we have in the position to have the dog with us, but overall can only say average and expensive for what they get."

"a beautiful place to visit. Historic rebuilt industrial building are charming. the musical history in the opposite is celebrated here with music spaces and concert spaces with daily events to discolor their ears. fabulous antique shops to browse and buy modern interior paraphernalia too. plants and a selection of restaurants makes this a perfect day. They can enjoy a meandering through the bogs when their twitcher a bonus for them youngs. I have some nice memories of this place. some very different angles of the building"

"The beautiful seaside hotel offers stunning ocean views. The staff were exceptional and went above and beyond to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Despite the challenges of COVID19, the hotel is making every effort to prioritize safety and provide excellent service. They are working tirelessly to meet all guidelines. The hotel is also very welcoming to dogs."

"A lovely time from start to finish. Our waiters were friendly, attentive and hard working. The starter I chose was the tempura prawns with sweet chilli dip. Very tasty and full of flavour. The roast pork, roast beef and burger meals myself and family had chosen, we ageed they were cooked to perfection and puddings and sauces to accompany the meats were homemade. The sticky toffee pudding with ice-cream and Vanilla and raspberry creme-brulee finished a delightful meal. A lovely atmosphere and a great Mother's day!"

"The White Horse is a classic pub with a wide selection of drinks. We decided to give it a try while staying nearby. The service was friendly, and I ordered the steak pie with gravy, mashed vegetables. The pie and gravy were tasty, but there wasn't much meat in the pie. Unfortunately, the mashed potatoes were dense and seemed like they came from a packet. The vegetables were very crunchy, making them difficult to cut. My husband had the fish and chips, which was good. We both had a dessert, which was delicious and addictive. The pub gets very crowded, but overall it's a great place to visit."

"It used to be really good visiting here but not anymore. Different staff, mostly very young and a condensed menu..waited 50 mins for our food so read all the papers and listened to the young staff gossiping about the customers and not in a good way! Our drinks were fast to turn up but no good without food! The food was mediocre when it arrived and I actually didn’t bother eating half of it as just wasn’t nice. When we left the girl taking our money told me it was her last shift and she couldn’t wait to leave…I told her politely the staff needed to stop gossiping about the customers and she said ‘you think’….yes I do definitely think that! Not bothering going back again, it’s changed so much, food, staff, inflated prices and bad service. There’s loads of better places around to eat!"

"Second visit to just eat and this time went in bar rather than dining room. Rather stern Eastern European lady took our order, not really the welcome I was expecting after last visit but I guess we can’t always be cheery so can forgive that and rest of experience was ok. Didn’t really test the kitchen with 2 sandwiches ordered but nothing to complain about. It’s not cheap to eat anywhere on Alderburgh with some cafes charging nearly £4 for coffees so if you are going to pay that, might as well do it in the town’s finest hotel. Absolute no brainer when it’s warm enough for tea on the terrace. Want to go back for half board now we’re confident it’s a well run hotel, we normally self cater but figure the Wentworth is an unusually good hotel and need to go before we need the lift which it still hadn’t got mind you this doesn’t seem to keep clientele average age down which is ok with me!"

"Very disappointing! The website and the opening times on the pub door states that the pub opens at 12 noon on a Saturday. We walked 7km to get there by 1pm only to find the pub in darkness and nobody there! This is not the first time it’s happened either! Extremely disappointing. If you advertise you are open then you should be open!"

"Popped in today whilst out with family. It was really quiet and if I'm honest I didn't expect much. I was so wrong! The food was brilliant. Both my mum and I had vegan burgers and they were so good! Chips and onion rings were great and not greasy. Coleslaw was really creamy and lovely too. My daughter wanted scrambled egg on toast and the staff were really helpful in sending out a child's size portion on little toast for her. I tried the scrambled egg and again, it was delicious. Staff were so friendly, really helpful and just made our meal very relaxed and enjoyable. Also very reasonably priced. Hope we can visit again in the future"

"My partner and I recently had a fantastic lunch at Flora Tea Rooms. As visitors to the area, we didn't know what to expect from a seaside café, but we were pleasantly surprised when we stumbled upon this gem. Both being vegetarians, we opted for the cheese omelette which was delicious. The menu was extensive and all the dishes being served to other tables looked just as appetizing and fresh. The chips were amazing and the side salad went above and beyond with its mix of beetroot, peppers, and coleslaw. Despite it being October, the cafe had a steady flow of customers which is a testament to its popularity. The staff worked seamlessly together to provide friendly and efficient service. Well done, Flora Tea Rooms!"

"Just had a really disappointing experience here. Previously I have raved about this place because everything about it has been wonderful; sadly today was a complete contrast. There were only 2 people serving but even so, there were so few customers, it shouldn’t have made a difference. We had to wait a good half hour for our food, and although it was lovely and hot, we sad were not impressed with the service. Charlie, the lad serving, was lovely and efficient, the other lad not so, and why does no-one answer the phone? We heard it ringing endlessly, and indeed, I couldn’t get through on the phone either. Feel very disappointed."

"I came here for a quick lunch with a friend and her daughters. Our server, Anthony, was good. The food overall was good as well, typical of a franchise restaurant. However, when the guy brought out my plate, he didn't warn me that it was extremely hot. As he went to hand it to me, I burned my fingertips. I tried to grab it from where he was holding it, but it was still extremely hot. I'm not sure how he was able to hold it, but we ended up dropping the plate on the table because he had no holders. I informed our server about the incident, and he apologized, although it wasn't his fault. I ordered conch fritters and spinach dip for the table, but I didn't like the sauce with the fritters. For my main dish, I ordered plantain cups filled with beef, which were overall good."

"We had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. We were told there would be a 25-minute wait, but ended up waiting 1 hour and 30 minutes for our food. When we finally received our order, it was lukewarm and missing an item. We used to enjoy dining here, but recently the owner's decision to have her teenage son handle phone calls and food orders has been a major issue. We will not be returning. The owner should consider hiring more staff and expanding the kitchen to improve efficiency. It is important for them to be more accurate with their wait times and only accept orders they can fulfill. We advise others not to trust the estimated preparation times and to double-check orders before leaving."

"The service was friendly and the prices were reasonable. The fish was flavorful and not too greasy. The portions were very generous - we shared one large haddock and one large order of chips between two adults and it was more than enough. Just a heads up that this place only accepts cash, as we saw several people caught off guard by this."

"I am thrilled to have discovered The Greenhouse at Felixstowe, a cafe where we can enjoy everything on the menu as it is completely plant-based. During our recent visit, we indulged in a delicious brunch with coffees, sourdough avocado with a tofu mushroom topping, and a portobello mushroom sandwich with a variety of tasty fillings. We also couldn't resist taking away some of their famous sausage rolls and cakes. The staff was friendly and polite, the cafe was perfectly clean, and the atmosphere was lovely. The prices were competitive as well. Overall, a fantastic experience!"
