The rustic Seafood harbour restaurant in Southwold has risen from the ashes! We are back better than before. We remain dog friendly & are open lunchtimes every day.

    So wonderful to be back in the fresh new Sole Bay Fish Restaurant in Southwold. Food as fresh and good as ever together with lovely attentive service, made for a great lunch which will, no doubt, be repeated very soon.

    First time back since its rebuild. Even nicer than I remember (and it was nice before). One of my favourite places to eat on Suffolk.

    It was a delight to return to Sole Bay Fish Company for lunch last week. The restaurant has reopened at a new level. The design has taken all the original key ingredients of the old restaurant to a new and higher standard producing a genuine character . It is absolutely lovely the ambiance is perfect ‘ The above combined with the delightful friendly service and food are all excellent Well done it’s been worth the wait

    So pleased that the Sole Bay is back to its former glory. We were welcomed with open arms. Service was timely, nothing too much trouble. Even our little spaniel Dot was made a fuss of. And of course, the food was simply superb.
