Dear all

Heading over to Southwold soon but staying in Lowestoft so can anyone recommend a nice place for me and my lucky missus to eat?

I saw on the PH good food guide there was a restaurant called the Flint but I googled and it's appeared to have since shut down.

Would prefer a place with nice local ale.

Thanks guys

Limited knowledge from me but......

For curries, either The Spice Den or the Red Rose (crackin Shaslick) very close to each other on the top end of the High Street.

If you fancy a nice meal in nice surroundings, the The Crooked Barn Restaurant on Ivy Lane Oulton Broad, very good quality food and run by extremely nice people.

If you fancy something quick, you could try the Chinese buffet place the China Diner (again on the top end of the High Street), as you would expect from such a place atmosphere wise, but again nice staff (when they're not getting nicked by immigration hehe ), but even on quiet nights they do keep the food fresh and replaced regularly.

I really enjoy the food at the Crown pub in Haddiscoe, can't really recommend anywhere in Lowestoft. Hope you enjoy your stay!

Also near to Southwold is Dunwich. There was a lovely fish and chip restaurant on the beach. Don't know if it's still there.

Dunwich beach is not a good place to expect things to stay!

The Red Herring in Oulton Broad is very nice - you can google it to see menu. Really can't think of anywhere in Lowestoft itself! Where are you staying in Lowe?
