About This Pub

Ah, Flying Fifteens – it's one of those places that just warms your heart the moment you step inside. From the reviews I've seen, folks are absolutely raving about the food; whether it's the freshly made sandwiches, those excellent homemade sweets, or the wide array of teas served up in that lovely traditional way with strainers and all, it's clear they've got a knack for making everything taste spot on. The service stands out too – it's friendly and attentive without being over the top, which really adds to that relaxed, homely feel, especially if you're popping in for a quick lunch or a breather by the seafront. On the flip side, it does wrap up early at 3 PM, so it's not ideal if you're planning a longer session or fancy something in the evening; plus, being more of a tea room than a lively pub, it might not hit the spot if you're after a bit more buzz or a pint. All in all, though, with a solid 4.6 rating from heaps of happy visitors, it's a brilliant choice for a daytime treat – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area, as long as you time it right!

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The food is absolutely delightful – think freshly prepared sandwiches, homemade sweet treats, and a wide selection of teas that are served in a proper traditional style.
  • Service is always friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • It's great value for money, with reasonable prices that won't break the bank for a lovely meal or a cuppa.
  • The location on Lowestoft's seafront is just spot on, perfect for a relaxed sit-down with a view, and it's got a charming garden area for when the weather's nice.
Cons
  • It closes up shop quite early at 3 PM, which means it's more for a daytime outing rather than an evening catch-up.
  • As a tea room rather than a full-on pub, it might feel a bit quiet if you're after something livelier with drinks or a buzzing atmosphere in the evenings.
  • From what I can tell, there isn't much info on their website, which could make it tricky to check menus or details before heading over.

Whilst on holiday in Great Yarmouth we visited this lovely tea room. Great value for money, and delicious. Would highly recommend we will definitely be back when we are next over that way. Many thanks.

Luxury tea and food establishment on Lowestoft sea front between the two piers. Huge choice of tea and coffee and the tea is served in the traditional style of being loose in the pot and supplied with a strainer, sugar cubes and tiny jug of milk. Lovely. Bacon rolls cooked exactly as I like them and very tasty. To to it all off, you can sit in the garden, if the weather allows, and enjoy some people watching with a view over the beach and sea.

The best tea shop in the east. I first went to Flying Fifteens over 20 years ago and I always stop here if I'm in Lowestoft and they're open. Wide selection of teas and this time I tried Rose Congou which was lovely and refreshing. We sat in the garden and the tables were well spaced
