About this restaurant

Great for outdoor dining
Good for special occasions
Great for craft beers

The Ship at Dunwich, a traditional coastal pub and restaurant on the Suffolk coast, is a relaxed and unfussy place to unwind and enjoy scrumptious, seasonal menus accompanied by a range of local ales and beers or good wines.

Choose to dine in an old-fashioned bar with a nautical theme and crackling fire, bright conservatory or atmospheric dining room with scrubbed tables and fresh flowers. If you are a food loving sun-seeker take a seat amongst the cluster of fruit trees in our spacious beer garden or in the sheltered courtyard for some of the best al fresco dining on the Suffolk coast.

It this was a school report I'd give B-. Why? Food was good, drinks (a wine and a beer) good quality, and the service prompt and engaging. But no one had bothered to clear the garden area of litter and full ashtrays from the night before. And the online booking system offered us a 11.45 'slot', when it turned out the pub doesn't even open until midday!

It took two hours fifteen minutes to have a meal of only two courses and this was with reminders that we were there. The staff were grossly overstreched . You need to learn to phase your bookings so it is a more pleasant experience for your customers and a less stressful experience for your staff

Sunday lunch - potatoes were inedible. Replacements were given and these were worse. Portion sizes were very small. Not returning.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit, excellent food and exceptional service. They had a new computer system and it was causing chaos plus it forgot our dessert order. They couldn’t have been more apologetic and handled the issue brilliantly. We will definitely be visiting again when we are next up in Suffolk.

We enjoyed a very tasty lunch. The fish and chips are wonderful. Not too many chips and plenty of tartare sauce.

Rather disappointed. One of two starters never arrived and both were cold selections so no excuse. Restaurant noisy with 5 persons next to us. No soft furnishings in the room so nothing to absorb the noise. Would not return.
