For many of us, food is a big part of the holiday experience. And it’s safe to say that Southwold has plenty to tempt the taste buds of the most fanatical of foodies.

Here at So Southwold we recently had the pleasure of meeting Simon Middleton, a fascinating character bringing a new quirky service to Southwold.  His 'Blackshore' brand and his passion for sourdough bread are about to hit the town by storm!

There’s always a lively ‘buzz’ about Southwold and its surrounds… but it’s a living, breathing, one at the Adnams eco-friendly Distribution Centre, where colonies of bees thrive under the care of local beekeeper, Steve Barrett.

Aldeburgh and Southwold are known for their independent shops, delis, cafes, pubs and restaurants who offer high-quality products and unique experiences.

Sweet tooth’s and sugar monsters, feast your eyes on the many sweet treats of Southwold. Enjoy ice cream on the beach, sweets at the pier or cake on the common.

In the beautiful Suffolk countryside, between the 23rd and 24th of September, Snape Maltings hosts another fantastic Aldeburgh Food a Drink Festival.

A traditional British Afternoon Tea is becoming increasingly popular, be it an intimate setting for two, a group celebration such as a baby shower – you can even find Afternoon Tea as a wedding breakfast option.

There’s no doubt that winter has firmly settled in the county – but coming to visit our county during this time can be the most enjoyable.

Suffolk is fast becoming one of the UK's most popular culinary tourist destinations thanks to its fabulous local produce from land and sea. We're great at celebrating our local producers too, with a jam-packed season of food and drink fest

Established in 1872, Adnams Brewery is well-known for its creative beer brewing and have become as iconic in Southwold as the Lighthouse and beach.
