About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for fine wines
All of our dining will be either 6.30 or 7.00pm starts, unfortunately we will not be able to offer any later tables.

Our Adult only fine dining restaurant has been awarded two rosettes by the AA for the quality of our food.

We aim to host the majority of our summer and early autumn dining, alfresco in our newly built under cover outside dining experience in the garden. IMPORTANT ! when booking during this period please note, dining maybe inside or outside and will be weather dependent and whilst we understand that some of you may book with us to experience the outside booths, on the night should the weather becomes extreme, we unfortunately may need to move the dining experience inside. .

PLEASE NOTE DRESS CODE IS SMART CASUAL FOR DINNER:
SORRY NO CHILDREN OR DOGS ALLOWED

    Very disappointed with our dining experience. No-one available to greet us when entering the restaurant and after we paid the bill no-one around to say goodbye. Overall the food was quite good although quite expensive and we did expect far better service. Also we expected a tablecloth on the table and a linen napkin, not a folded paper one. Advertised as a 'special experience' !

    Fabulous fine dining experience in a relaxed atmosphere in an amazing building. Can't fault the food, wine or service and will definitely return next time we are in Southwold.

    Another lovely evening at the Sutherland. Portion sizes perfect for our taste. Reasonable price to pay for the standard of food. We hope to be back soon.
