Southwold:
Another Southwold Adnams pub, and a familiar thing: here, though the food is provided by a local pizza co (we didn’t try them).
Our first visit here resulted in us sitting just down the street on the seafront: this pub was busy.
Inside, it’s quite traditional but similar to the other Adnams houses in town. Similarly, it’s cashless and has the same beer range. Pleasant place, though.
Aldeburgh:
We only went in here because I needed a slash (curse my medication!), and I had a diet coke (driving) but what a nice pub. Single-roomed, wood panelled. Lovely traditonal interior, friendly staff. Adnams beer, Pizza available at times, or you could eat stuff from the nearby chippy in the garden if you bought a drink (reasonable prices, given Aldeburgh is, if anything, posher than Southwold).
Southwold:
Another refurbed Adnams pub, and similar inside to the others. This one is right next to Southwold’s lighthouse.
A story that is becoming familiar: card payments only, stripped-wood furniture, nice staff, good beer, pub food menu that seems a bit poncy and pricey (and we suspect, may have been the cause of a dodgy tummy for my better half, sadly). The outside space was nice- only onto the street, but it’s a nice quiet street.

This is a hotel, but it has a back bar that feels very old-fashioned pub. There’s a restaurant at the front, too, which wasn’t cheap, but was excellent.
It’s another part of the Adnams empire, and again, cashless.
Great staff, the usual selection of Adnams beer, nice atmosphere. Nice outside space at the front on to the High Street.
Southwold:
Our first visit to one of the several Adnams-operated pubs in town. This is one of the ones that is just a pub, not far from the seafront, just south of the High St.
In common with the others, this is cashless.
Inside is tradional, a little modern stripped wood, maybe. Staff pleasant, usual choice of Adnams beer, including a very nice couple of lagers. Great outside space in the sunshine. There’s food- from snacks including some excellent sausage rolls to a full meal.
