We visited Sutherland House and we have not been to Southwold before and it's no.1 on Trip Advisor - it's a lovely hotel/restaurant, however it is most definitely a fish restaurant and they do not really cater for vegetarians - I had rang the week before to check if there would be a vegetarian choice on the menu - was...

I am a caterer/cook/chef etc and I wanted to celebrate my 60th Birthday in Suffolk away from East Sussex where I work. I did not want a big party ( I do this for a living!) I just wanted to say that the meal here at Sutherland House was SO good. I had the turbot which quite frankly was the... More

Great atmosphere, warm welcome and food up to usual high standards. Really enjoyed the skate wing special and orange dessert wine! We keep coming back for a good reason- we've always had a great time add it's easily our favourite place to eat. See you again soon!

The menu was inspired - and it's great to have the food miles so you can ensure you choose... More
