Harden's survey result
Summary
This “very good pub” (with rooms and a “lovely garden”) attracts a good amount of feedback and is “actually more of a restaurant now as the entire place is used for dining”, but that’s all to the good given its “cooking of a calibre expected in this upscale resort”. The owners also run a sister pub, The Parrot in Aldringham.
Summary
This “jolly venue in a characterful seaside town” serves “excellent pub food, using top-quality ingredients and no silly gimmicks”. There’s something for everyone, ranging from a ‘steak deal’ to ‘vegan night’ and – given that it also functions as a B&B – breakfast is also catered for.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

The Dolphin Inn Restaurant Diner Reviews
"Some of the food was a 2 and some a 3. My hamburger was very good. My wife's brill was just OK, however, the accompanying samphire was well cooked and very tasty. The potatoes were overcooked. Portions were large. We all wished that the cooking was a bit better. Service very good. Adams Southwold tasty as usual."
