OUR MENU
We are passionate about making delicious food accessible to all. Our menus change with the seasons, with a focus on using high-quality, locally-sourced and foraged ingredients. We proudly make all preserves, condiments, cakes and dishes from scratch, whether that's the ketchup on your bacon bun or the refreshing fruit cordial enjoyed with your meal.

SUPPER CLUB

COMMUNITY LUNCH
Everyone is welcome to this community event, held on the last Sunday of the month - locals, part-timers, and visitors alike. Gifted chefs prepare set menus with the goal of making delicious food accessible to all. Attendees are asked to contribute based on a pay what you can afford basis. This not for profit event is subsidised through our pay-it-forward program. Following lunch, surprise children's entertainment is provided in a joint effort between the Old Hospital and Southwold Library.
