Welcome to The Sole Bay Inn Pub Southwold

Ideally situated under the Southwold lighthouse and just two minutes walk from the sea, the Sole Bay Inn Pub is the closest pub to the famous Adnams Brewery - you can see the brewery from the pub.

The Sole Bay Inn Pub has kept it’s original appearance but has recently undergone an internal refurbishment.

The landlord Chris Chapman and his professional staff offer a warm and friendly welcome in a relaxed atmosphere. We look forward to seeing you for a drink or something to eat.

Small parties are also welcome, but please contact us first to make a reservation.
