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.

    Love the restaurant, excellent food although the service was a little slow today and one of our portions of chips were not hot. Otherwise - EXCELLENT.

    We have been to Sole Bay several times and it was good to go back after it reopened after the fire. The staff were friendly and you know that all food is freshly cooked. We will certainly return.

    Great to see the Solebay Restaurant back open and in fairness like it had never been away. If you enjoy seafood than Solebay in Southwold is the place for you. Good service lovely ambience following the restoration and dog friendly.
