A unique beach side restaurant in the heart of the picturesque Aldeburgh. Serving Meals with daily menus as well as coffees.
Reviewed By ScotsmanabroadKMB
Liked the look of the menu so we booked in advance. The food is very good and well presented. The service is slow and this busy restaurant seems understaffed which lets the place down. I even had to chase to pay my bill. For some reason the door was wedged open causing a draught. Maybe this is down to the log fire which gives the smoky smell and ambience but I noted several diners putting on their coats.

The Seafood & Grill restaurant is a wonderful place to relax and soak up panoramic views along the beach, whatever the time of year, though if you are lucky enough to visit during summer, you can take full advantage of the sea-facing al fresco terrace. It

This place is lovely, right on the beachfront, huge outdoor patio overlooking the sea. So with the view etc you expect it to be expensive, but then you so expect the food to be good. We had decided to have fish and chips as we had already smelt some that people were eating from the many takeaways, but we wanted to sit down with a drink. £12.50 each for fish and chips, £34 in total with drinks, but hey, this is gone be so good. Wrong. Fish was tasteless, chips soggy as the liquid (water) from the peas had drenched the plate. Couldn't even smell the fish at all. As I said at this price you expect quality, wasn't until someone else ordered I realised why it wasn't so good. They asked what fish, and they were told haddock. Not cod. For this price I would expect cod. Won't be going back. Charge for quality, supply quality. Very dissapointing tasteless foodDear petesmithhomeMany thanks for your recent review. I apologise that your recent visit to the Brudenell did not meet your expectations. I will pass on your comments to the kitchen regarding the dish and If you would be so kind to email me regarding the service element I would be grateful. My email address is [email protected]. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.Regards Rob DixonOperations Manager

Our new Bar and Brasserie has been inspired by a modern desire to return to simple, 'back to basics' food, offering freshly prepared dishes, contemporary, informal surroundings and impeccable service. We hope the whole family will enjoy dining with us. Fr

This restaurant is a bit basic in terms of decor and layout (it is the White Lion Hotel's main restaurant and bar, open from breakfast to late) but we had a jolly good meal (lots of locally sourced seafood dishes) with excellent service. Very reasonable prices.

Interested to see the previous review. Our party of four decided to eat here for lunch on Monday. One meal was fine, one average, and two inedible. My skate was completely off, with a strong smell of amonia, how this ever got cooked, let alone leave the kitchen is beyond us, chef, surely must have realised during the cooking process. Needless to say it was swiftly returned. My husband had fish and chips, the fish was just one big piece of oily batter with little or no fish inside, absolutely disgraceful, this too was returned. In circumstances such as these, we would have expected the chef or manager to come out and apologise, but no, it was left to the waiting staff, who didnt have the experience in handling such matters. As Aldeburgh has an abundance of fresh fish with a good choice of restaurants, we suggest that you revisit your food hygene procedures if you want to keep your customers and your business.Thank you for your review. I am sorry that you did not enjoy the experience. The skate was freshly delivered that morning and there were no issues with the other guests that were served skate. I am sorry that you did not enjoy your fish and chips. The fish was fresh and the batter freshly made. I fail to understand how there could be no fish in battered and deep fried dish.I was disappointed to note that you failed to mention that you were not charged for your meals when the Supervisor tried to do something about the situation, but I suppose that is fairly typical of such one sided reviews.

Whilst staying in Aldeburgh came across this excellent little restaurant with friendly staff and delicious food both on the menu and specials board also catered very well for gluten free can highly recommend and would not hesitate to go back it was a very packed evening but there was no wait for service or the food and there was no rush in between courses which in some places you can get so cannot wait to go back when next in the area

Full, even on a Sunday evening. The staff are friendly and welcoming as well as informative about sights in the area. We ate lovely potted shrimps, olives, a dover sole, sea bass and finished off with creme brulee. At under £80 it is reasonably priced given we also had a bottle of wine, tea and coffee. Service is not included - left to your discretion. We had no hesitation in adding it.
