About

The Harbour Inn sits proudly on Black Shore, right on Southwold’s picturesque waterfront, offering a true fisher‑man’s pub experience. Warm, work‑men‑like charm meets nautical décor, while a vibrant bar and spacious dining area provide a relaxed setting for locals and visitors alike. The menu highlights fresh, locally‑caught seafood—think classic fish & chips, fresh oysters, and inventive seafood plates—all complemented by an impressive range of Adnams beers, wines and spirits. The pub is dog‑friendly, welcoming children and families, and encourages casual, first‑come first‑served dining. Whether you’re grabbing a pint at the bar, sampling the daily fish menu, or simply taking in sea‑side views, The Harbour Inn delivers a convivial atmosphere that reflects the spirit of Southwold’s harbor. Seasonally, the inn also hosts special events such as the Festive Menu in December, and offers group arrangements for parties of 15+, making it an excellent spot for celebrations and gatherings.
