Size doesn't matter for many of The Crown Hotel's long time guests because although this Southwold hotel might be considered small to a certain extent, it is the comfort level that matters. There's no compromise on that factor, which is why this Adnams hotel is a popular destination for many who visit the charming Suffolk seaside town. Stroll into their famed, award winning restaurant for a delicious meal and you can understand what the fuss is all about, particularly the freshness of the dishes, which are created from only the best locally sourced produce, meats, fish and seafood.

A typical menu might begin with shredded ham hock, duck egg, homemade black pudding and mustard dressing, leading on to confit of Gressingham duck, Aspall cider braised lentils, pancetta and Savoy cabbage, or Lowestoft 'Maximus' line caught cod fillet with roasted leeks and celeriac. End on a fine note with the rhubarb and Adnams pink fizz tart with ginger syrup.

The award winning wine list offers an excellent choice with over 150 wines and a further 20 available by the glass. Great quality beers include Southwold Adnams' Bitters, Aspall Suffolk Cider and a premium Bitburger Lager. Adnams Copper House Distillery's gins and vodkas are a must try too.
