The Little Fish and Chip Shop

About

The Little Fish & Chip Shop, the seaside‑side sister to the main Sole Bay Fish Company, opened in 2015 and has quickly become Southwold’s go‑to takeaway for fresh, traditional fish and chips. Located on 2 East Street by the harbor, the shop serves a menu that reflects the daily catch of cod, haddock, plaice, and other local varieties, all cooked with a classic beef‑dripping batter that produces a notably crispy crust. The menu ranges from the classic cod and chips to speciality items such as fish cakes, scampi, and lobster platters, catering to both purists and adventurous palates. The experience is distinctly beachy: customers can queue in a relaxed atmosphere, grab their orders, and sit outside on the promenade or take their meals onto the nearby beach, enjoying views of Walberswick. The shop prides itself on quick service—despite its popularity, the wait rarely exceeds a few minutes, and offers a selection of local beers, wines, and soft drinks to accompany the meal. Sea‑food lovers, families, and anyone looking for a casual, seaside bite will find The Little Fish & Chip Shop an unpretentious yet high‑quality spot that highlights the best of local fishing traditions.
