About
Aldeburgh Market is a beloved local eatery tucked into the heart of High Street, just a few steps from the sandy beach and historic fishermen's huts.

Guests can enjoy a relaxed table‑service experience with vegan and gluten‑free options available, all prepared by chefs who pride themselves on using ingredients that are only a short distance from the coast. The menu showcases an ever‑changing selection of fresh fish such as salmon, prawns, smoked mackerel, and haddock, as well as handmade fishcakes and a range of homemade preserves and sauces. In addition to the on‑site dining, the deli offers a full selection of fruits, vegetables, dairy, pantry staples, and artisan snacks that make for quick take‑away or a lunch stop for travelers. The restaurant also offers catering for events, so whether you’re after a casual lunch or a dinner party, the friendly staff can help craft a bespoke menu.
