The Castle Inn - Suffolk Coastal

I am not sure how to respond to this establishment. The food is not good and dies not make it up with the atmosphere.

Once was great and now a shadow of its former self. Really needs a clean, both inside and out. Toilets grimy, courtyard covered in cigarette ends and dog poo under one of the tables which we had to clean from cigarette butts before eating, despite there being No Smoking signs by the booths. Real shame. Love coming here and returned for first time since 2015 only to be severely disappointed. Staff still nice, they’re just fighting a losing battle at the moment.

We had a really lovely lunch here just after having seen the castle in Framlingham (it's right next door beside the castle car park). I had the prawns in Marie rose sauce on a jacket potato and my sister had the soup. My JP was excellent! Very friendly staff and great vfm.

Friendly staff, and nice food. Is handy if visiting the castle for a better lunch alternative. Good variety of food and yummy desserts. Plenty of outside seating. Dogs welcome.

Absolutely thrilled to have discovered this inn. Lovely and warm and friendly. Great ales and superb tasty food. We will definitely return when we are next in the area. Highly recommended.
