Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We arrived on a Monday lunchtime without pre booking. We were made very welcome by the lady behind the bar. The menu was excellent and cooked beautifully. Very good value and would thoroughly recommend.

This was a lovely place to visit on a Sunday lunchtime for a very good English Roast. We all had beef with the trimmings and shared a cauliflower cheese, it resulted in 3 empty plates and 3 happy people. Staff were very friendly and it...was a nice pub atmosphere.More

What a lovely pub, when for Sunday lunch and was one of the best I have had for a long time. The staff were friendly and the food excellent. The landlord and lady should be very proud of their place, I know how hard it...is to run a pub.More

The worst pub experience of my 57 years! Visited with my wife while on holiday. Average meal at best, not even that. But my wife felt she was getting death stares and muttered about by the local old boys sitting at the bar who seemed...to be offended at having their boozer invaded by food customers. Not a nice atmosphere for us.More

We struggled to find a local restaurant that was open for lunch on a Monday and could accomodate a party of 7 at short notice, but struck gold when we found the website for the Wherry Inn. The food they serve is excellent and the...staff very friendly and helpful. We had such a great experience that we made another visit later in the week. Highly recommended!More

Visited here this evening whilst staying nearby and as a coeliac it can sometimes be awkward to eat out but the gluten menu here had so many options and my meal was absolutely lovely! Would definitely visit again and recommend.

This was a return visit to "The Wherry" unfortunately the menu seemed depleted compared to our previous visits. The owners were really very welcoming and made our visit pleasurable, How ever the menu was not as it had been, not that I wanted the "same...old" menu again, but the current one came across as fish or burgers, none of us are really burger eaters as a rule and one of our party can not eat fish. When we go our for a meal we are really looking foe something either that we would not have at home or at least as good as home cooking. One had fish the rest had burgers, which were all very nicely cooked, well presented and hot, as burgers go, they were absolutely fine Deserts were the usual pub deserts, cheesecake, brownies, unfortunately nothing to get excited about, but absolutely fine if that is what you like. personally I would have liked more variation on the menu. Overall, I would return here and possibly recommend it to others, but with a" expect burgers."More

We visited on a Wednesday lunchtime while walking in this beautiful area. We got a friendly welcome and our drinks were served quickly. Unfortunately we didn’t want any food at that point but the menu looked cracking so we’ll return when back in Suffolk to...sample their food too.More

What a little find! Staying in Southwold, and saw this on Tripadvisor, so booked and had a ride out for our Sunday lunch today. A beautiful pub inside and out. Looks really well looked after. A lovely 'vibe' when we walked in. Very friendly.....and got...very busy as the time went on. Always a good sign. We both had the roast beef and it was beautifully cooked, and plenty of it. Then a pudding. Which , as my husband said, was 'too good'. All in all, we had a lovely visit and will make a point of booking here when we next stay this way.More
