Assessor comments
"High quality food in family-run pub"
Overview
The Dolphin Inn has been run by the same family since 2007 and it is an integral part of village life in Thorpeness. The cosy main restaurant boasts a wooden floor and local artwork. The kitchen prides itself on using as much local produce as possible including vegetables from the pub’s own allotment a stone’s throw away.

About the area
Suffolk is Constable country, where the county’s crumbling, time-ravaged coastline spreads itself under wide skies to convey a wonderful sense of remoteness and solitude. Highly evocative and atmospheric, this is where rivers wind lazily to the sea and notorious 18th-century smugglers hid from the excise men
