Afternoon tea
Suffolk has a huge range of delicious spots to enjoy an afternoon tea. From The Swan at Lavenham’s famous luxury tea to an afternoon tea with a side of activity at Southwold Boating Lake, there’s something for everyone. Even the doggies don’t miss out on afternoon tea in Suffolk, with The Ickworth Hotel offering The Waggy Tails Tea Time where dogs can dine on dishes including homemade paw-nut butter biscuits, canine carrot cake with pawsome frosting, and a puppacino!
Fish and chips on the beach
Suffolk is famous for fish and chips and a visit to the coast just can’t be done without grabbing a portion from one of the many chippies, and eating them on the beach. There’s nothing quite like it! Whilst you’ll find battered cod and deliciously salted chips right across the county, Aldeburgh is an absolute hot spot for these tasty treats. Aldeburgh Fish and Chip Shop has been operating for over 50 years and is widely regarded as one of the best in Britain.
Make your own gin
To say that gin has become the 'in thing' in the last few years would be an understatement, and if you and your fellow Suffolk visitors are partial to a G&T, then you can make your visit extra special by enjoying a Make Your Own Gin Experience at Adnams Gin Lab in Bury St Edmunds. You will learn about how to craft a great-tasting gin, from balancing a wide variety of flavours and aromas to understanding the influence of the distillation process. Your Gin Maker will help you develop your own recipe from a selection of provided botanicals and you will go on to distill, fill and name your bottle. Now that’s an incredible souvenir to take home from a holiday!
Chocolate masterclass
Another fantastic way for foodies to get hands-on in Suffolk is to try one of Artistry in Cocoa’s Workshops. There are masterclasses, family workshops, and adult chocolate-making classes among the fun activities on offer at the Newmarket venue. A perfect way to spend time with family or friends in Suffolk.
