Red Poll Tearooms - Suffolk Coastal

We stumbled across this lovely tearoom on the way to the RSPB reserve at Minsmere today. So friendly and welcoming. The food was lovely too. Definitely worth a visit.

Best carrot cake ever!!! Stopped off en route home to visit the farm shop excellent locally reared beef. Hubby wanted a sandwich so he got that and coffee then we shared carrot cake. It was fantastic, best carrot cake we’ve ever had. I’m not a massive cake fan but this was fab. Friendly staff, excellent homemade food.

Lovely breakfast, small option just the right size for me. Amazing to be offered a choice of GF bread and not be told that I can’t have half the items as they contain gluten. Friendly staff who made me feel very welcome. Will be back to try the GF cake option soon.

Our first visit to the Tearoom but we often shop at the adjacent Emmerdale Farm Shop. Friendly welcome from the attentive staff. Excellent menu beautifully cooked. Clean and tidy. Strongly recommended as a destination venue or as a pit-stop when travelling on the nearby A12.

Straightforward surroundings, not cosy country style, but fine for breakfast. Staff are always so friendly, very patient with requests to tailor set breakfasts. Local produce (sausages, bacon, eggs etc. goes down well, and the coffee is hot! Sit upstairs for a bit of a view if you get the right table. Otherwise it’s a view of the car park. Finish with some food shopping downstairs. I wouldn’t do a diversion, but if you are nearby, it’s a good location.
