A fish restaurant has been named one of the best places to eat in the country. 

The Good Food Guide shared its favourite restaurants and cafes to eat at on UK beaches with Sole Bay Fish Company in Southwold making it onto the list. 

The restaurant on the Suffolk coast reopened in June last year following a devastating fire after gas cylinders exploded.

Those wishing to enjoy the local seafood and fish and chips on offer at the restaurant have the option for takeaway or outdoor seating, or can visit the sister fish and chip shop in East Street.

The indoor restaurant is being rebuilt and the owners hope it will be back open from November.

Describing Sole Bay Fish Company, the Good Food Guide said: "It's all about seasonal seafood, much of it brought in on the owners boats, cooked without fuss and served promptly.

"Seafood platters, heavy with prawns, cockles and whelks, are anchored deliciously by the main attraction of half a garlicky butter-slicked lobster, a dressed crab or sultry smoked fish.

"And dessert? Who needs it when Southwold can deliver completely on the ice-cream front?"
