Suffolk's coast is perhaps best known for its stunning beaches, but it's also home to a number of award-winning pubs and restaurants.
Here are seven places to eat and drink that have recently been awarded an AA Rosette or been included in the Michelin Guide.

Owned by Southwold brewer Adnams, The Swan Hotel is one of the most imposing buildings in the seaside town – but it's also a great spot for fine dining.
It has two AA Rosettes for its food offering, as well as achieving a four-star rating and being named an Inspectors' Choice Hotel.
