The team at a coastal café is "beyond excited" after being added to a top food guide. 

The Canteen has been serving food in Southwold for the past two years and opened as part of the rejuvenation of the Old Hospital building. 

Located a short walk away from the beach and Southwold High Street, it offers a menu of seasonally changing dishes made with locally sourced and foraged ingredients.

The outdoor seating area is surrounded with garden planters of fresh ingredients used in the meals on offer. 

The Canteen was recently added as an entry in the Good Food Guide which publishes the best places to eat around the county. 

The guide praised the cafe's chef for her "light, contemporary touch rooted in a 'let the ingredients shine' ethos".

Speaking about the entry on social media, the team at The Canteen said: "We are beyond excited that The Canteen has been featured in the Good Food Guide. 

"We are very grateful to all our incredible staff and customers who make The Canteen such a special place."
