Stanford Arms

Verified
4.8(438 reviews)
95/100
The Stanford Arms is a cracking little pub in Lowestoft, boasting brilliant beers, scrumptious pizzas, and a welcoming vibe for a relaxed get-together.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • Fantastic selection of real ales, ciders, and craft beers – there's always something new and exciting on tap to suit all tastes.
  • Tasty stone-baked pizzas and sides like loaded fries that go down a treat and pair brilliantly with the drinks.
  • Warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home, with friendly staff who are always on hand.
  • Loads of fun events like music quizzes and live gigs that keep things lively and give you a reason to return.
  • Inexpensive prices, so you can enjoy a great night out without it costing the earth.
Areas for Improvement
  • Opening hours can be a bit hit-and-miss, with the pub only open five days a week and some inconsistent timings on Sundays.
  • It might feel a tad quiet during off-peak hours, so it's worth checking ahead if you're after a buzzing crowd.
  • The place has changed over the years, which could mean it's not as traditional as some might hope, though it's still evolving positively.

JOJO's Kitchen & Bar is a welcoming American-inspired spot in Lowestoft with cracking food and a cosy vibe, though it's worth keeping an eye on the costs and availability.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot on – those hand-pressed burgers and Southern-style fried chicken are packed with flavour and feel like a proper treat.
  • It's got a lovely, relaxed atmosphere with great country music, making it a brilliant spot for a catch-up with mates.
  • The service is top-notch; the staff are friendly and attentive, really adding to the overall experience.
  • They source everything locally from small businesses, which means you're getting fresh, high-quality grub and supporting the community at the same time.
  • The cocktails and drinks menu is fantastic, with award-winning options that pair perfectly with the meals.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can be a bit on the pricey side, so you might want to check your budget before heading in, as meals add up quickly.
  • The opening hours are quite limited, only open a few days a week, which means you'll have to plan your visit around that.
  • Some dishes, like the chips, have been overcooked in a few experiences, which is a shame when the rest is so good.
  • Takeaways don't always hit the mark compared to eating in, so it's best enjoyed on-site if you can.

Areas for Improvement

  • It can get quite busy, especially mid-week or on weekends, which means booking ahead is essential to avoid disappointment.
  • Being in Lowestoft, it might not be the easiest spot to reach if you're coming from further afield, though that's part of its charm as a local hideaway.

Flying Fifteens is a cracking little tea room in Lowestoft that's got everyone buzzing about its tasty treats, top-notch teas, and welcoming vibe – a real gem for a relaxed day out.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • 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.
Areas for Improvement
  • 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.

Flint is a charming Portuguese eatery in Lowestoft that's got cracking food and a laid-back vibe, making it a top pick for a relaxed meal with mates.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot on – think delicious Portuguese dishes like fresh seafood platters, tasty tapas, and those handmade desserts that everyone raves about; it's a real treat for the taste buds.
  • The atmosphere is so relaxed and welcoming, with a lovely courtyard and back garden that make you feel right at home, perfect for a chilled-out meal or drinks in the sunshine.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, always going the extra mile to make your visit memorable, whether you're popping in for a quick lunch or a full dinner.
  • It's a hidden gem in Lowestoft, offering something a bit different with happy hour cocktails and sangria that add a fun twist to the experience.
  • Great for various occasions, from a casual breakfast to a lively dinner, and the portions are generous enough to leave you satisfied.
Areas for Improvement
  • The operating hours aren't clearly listed anywhere, which can make it a bit of a faff to plan a visit and might leave you hanging if you're not sure when it's open.
  • It seems like things have gone a tad quiet lately, with no recent feedback from the last few months, so you might wonder if it's as buzzing as it used to be.
  • The website is pretty basic – just a simple link page without much detail, which doesn't give you a full picture before you head over.
  • Based on what's available, it might be closed at the moment, which is a shame if you're eager to try it out straight away.

  • With only a handful of reviews shared, it's tricky to get the full picture, and it could feel a tad ordinary for those popping in occasionally.

The Thatch is a lovely little spot in Lowestoft with cracking views, solid grub, and a warm vibe that makes it a go-to for a relaxed day out.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • The food is absolutely spot on – think hearty portions that leave you stuffed, with delicious options like big breakfasts and tasty cakes.
  • You've got those stunning sea views, which make it a perfect spot for a relaxed meal while soaking in the scenery.
  • Comfortable seating both inside and out, so whether it's a sunny day or you're dodging the rain, it's sorted.
  • Prices are fair and reasonable, giving you great value without breaking the bank.
Areas for Improvement
  • It closes fairly early around 4 PM, so it's not ideal if you're after a late-night pint or evening catch-up.
  • Street parking is the only option, which might be a bit of a faff in a busy area.
  • Dogs aren't allowed inside, though you can pop in to order and then head out, which could be inconvenient for dog owners.
  • No website means it's trickier to check menus or book ahead online – you're relying on popping by or calling.

The Volunteer is a welcoming pub in Lowestoft with a lively vibe and affordable drinks, though the service might not be up to scratch lately.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are really friendly and always willing to lend a hand, especially if you're with a dog or have accessibility needs.
  • It's got a cracking atmosphere that's full of laughs and makes for a proper good night out.
  • Perfect spot for music fans with loud house tunes and plenty of space to dance, especially on Friday and Saturday nights.

  • Being inexpensive means you can enjoy a pint or two without worrying about the wallet.
Areas for Improvement
  • Service has taken a nosedive since the pub changed hands, making it a bit hit or miss these days.
  • Some recent feedback suggests it's not as reliable as it used to be, which is a real shame for a spot with so much potential.

The Globe Inn is a lovely little pub in Lowestoft with a cracking atmosphere and top-notch food deals, but it's not without its flaws when it comes to making sure everyone feels included.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely brilliant – it's warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you step in.
  • The food is spot on, with the roast dinner coming highly recommended and that £5 three-course meal offering amazing value for a hearty feed.
  • Staff are incredibly friendly and professional; they work hard to ensure everyone has a great time, which really adds to the overall experience.
  • It's praised for being a diverse spot in Lowestoft, which is a nice change and makes it feel inclusive for a good night out.
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been reports of issues with inclusivity, particularly for the Trans community, where some folks felt unwelcome and staff didn't step in as they should have.
  • It might not suit everyone due to occasional unwelcoming behaviour from other visitors, which could put a dampener on things.
  • With no website or online presence, it's a bit tricky to get the latest info or book ahead, which might be a hassle for planning a visit.

The Royal Falcon is a lively pub in Lowestoft with a cracking atmosphere, affordable drinks, and a top-notch beer garden, but watch out for the noise and parking woes.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely buzzing, especially with the karaoke and live music nights that make for a fantastic evening out.
  • Prices are spot on – you'll find some of the best value drinks in Lowestoft, making it a wallet-friendly spot for a pint or two.
  • The beer garden is a real gem, offering stunning sea views, heated seating areas, and plenty of room to relax.
  • Friendly staff who go the extra mile, and perks like a free jukebox and pool table add to the fun without costing a penny.
  • Drinks are served just right, with the perfect temperature and a welcoming vibe that keeps you coming back.
Areas for Improvement
  • If you're thinking of staying in one of the rooms, it can get quite noisy with live football, karaoke, and music events going on.
  • Parking is a bit of a headache – there's none on site, so you'll have to hunt for street spots, which might not be ideal after a few drinks.
  • Food quality can be hit or miss; for instance, some dishes like burgers have come out overcooked, which is a shame when you're looking for a proper meal.
  • The place might feel a tad quiet at times, depending on when you visit, so it could be hit or miss for a lively crowd.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely delicious and homemade – think hearty Sunday roasts, mac and cheese, and veg soup that hit the spot every time.

  • The staff are super friendly and welcoming, making every visit feel like catching up with mates.
  • They've got fun events on offer, such as pub quizzes and drag-aoke nights, which add a lively buzz to the place.
Areas for Improvement
  • With only a handful of reviews out there, it might not be the most well-known spot yet, so you could be taking a bit of a punt if you're new to the area.
  • No website means it's a tad tricky to look up the menu or upcoming events before heading over.
  • Being tucked away in Lowestoft, it might not be the easiest for folks from further afield to pop in regularly.

  • No website or online presence means it's tricky to check menus or events in advance, which could be a minor hassle in this digital age.
  • It closes at 10 PM every day, which is a tad early if you're hoping for a late-night session or some evening entertainment that goes on longer.

Areas for Improvement

  • Maintenance seems to be lacking in spots, like the toilets that are in a right state – leaking, smelly, and not up to scratch.
  • The music can be a bit too loud at times, making it tough to have a proper chat with your group over a drink.

  • The atmosphere is spacious and comfortable, with a lovely Victoriana-style design that's been beautifully updated.
Areas for Improvement
  • The opening hours are a bit limited, typically from 10 AM to 4 PM, so it's not ideal if you're after a late-night spot.
  • There haven't been any recent reviews in the last six months, which makes me wonder if things have quietened down a tad.
  • The business status shows it as closed, which might mean occasional closures or updates, so it's worth checking before you head over.

Areas for Improvement

Areas for Improvement
  • It can feel a bit rough around the edges, like it's not the most polished place if you're after something fancy.
  • The music style might not click with everyone, as it could be a tad off-putting at first if it's not your cup of tea.
  • There haven't been any recent reviews, so it's hard to say if things have stayed the same or shifted a bit lately.

  • The atmosphere is spot on – whether it's a buzzing weekend with karaoke or DJs, or a chilled daytime vibe, it's always welcoming and safe, even if you're popping in solo.
  • That funky, alternative feel gives it a unique edge on the high street, attracting a great crowd and making it a proper local favourite.
Areas for Improvement
  • The operating status seems a bit unclear, as it's listed as closed, so you might want to double-check before planning a visit.
  • No specific opening hours are available online, which can make it tricky to know when to drop by.
  • Their website isn't working properly, which is a shame and makes it harder to get the latest info or a proper feel for the place.
  • With only a handful of reviews and some being quite old, it might not be as active or buzzing as it once was, so things could have changed.

The Kraken Bar

4.7(14 reviews)
84/100
The Kraken Bar is a charming little hideaway in Lowestoft, offering top-notch service and inventive drinks, though it's a Sunday-only affair that's worth the effort to track down.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant and provide superb service that makes you feel right at home
  • They've got an innovative selection of drinks, including flavoured Kraken rum and other treats that keep things exciting
  • It's a hidden gem with a lovely atmosphere, featuring 80s music and live tunes on Sundays for a real treat
  • The cosy vibe makes it a perfect spot for a relaxed catch-up with mates
Areas for Improvement
  • It's only open on Sundays from 1pm to 10pm, which can be a bit limiting if you're planning a midweek pint
  • The place is quite small and tucked away, so it might be tricky to find and could feel a tad cramped on busier days
  • With just a handful of reviews, it doesn't seem to have a massive online presence, which might make it harder to get the latest updates

4.3(55 reviews)
84/100
The Drifter is a welcoming pub in Lowestoft with friendly vibes, good beers at fair prices, and plenty of entertainment – it's a solid spot for a relaxed evening with mates.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always up for a chat which makes you feel right at home.
  • They've got a cracking selection of beers and the prices won't break the bank – perfect for a casual night out.
  • It's a lively spot with a big pool table, a telly for the matches, and a duke box playing all sorts of tunes to keep things buzzing.
  • The atmosphere is spot on, with chatty regulars and a fun vibe that makes it easy to settle in and enjoy yourself.
Areas for Improvement
  • The website's a bit of a let-down with some errors, so it's not the easiest way to check out menus or events before you go.
  • As it's unclaimed on Google, it might not be as polished or up-to-date as some other places, which could mean missing out on the latest info.
  • With only a moderate number of reviews, it doesn't seem to be on everyone's radar yet, so you might not know what to expect if you're new to the area.

83/100
The Royal Oak is a welcoming local pub in Lowestoft with friendly staff, affordable drinks, and a community spirit that makes it a great spot for a casual get-together, though it has a few rough edges like its tired exterior.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome, which really adds to the cosy vibe.
  • Spotlessly clean toilets – always a bonus when you're out for a few drinks!
  • A great selection of beers and shots at affordable prices, so you won't break the bank.
  • Lovely outdoor seating area that's perfect for a relaxed pint, and it's even dog-friendly for those who bring their furry friends.
  • It has a real community feel with events like karaoke on Fridays and discos on Saturdays, making it a fun spot to meet up with mates.
Areas for Improvement
  • The outside looks a bit worn and tired, which might not give the best first impression when you're approaching.
  • No food is served here, so if you're after a meal with your drinks, you'll have to plan ahead and head elsewhere.
  • It can feel a tad outdated in spots, even though the inside bar is modern, which might not appeal to everyone looking for something more polished.

The Lake Lothing is a welcoming pub in Lowestoft with a cracking atmosphere, tasty grub, and lively events, but it has the odd hiccup that keeps things from being perfect.

The Joseph Conrad is a solid Wetherspoons in Lowestoft for a laid-back, wallet-friendly pub experience, though it's not without its service hiccups.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's a cracking spot for budget-friendly drinks and meals, perfect if you're looking to save a few quid while enjoying a pint or some wings.
  • The staff can be really friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • Loads of seating space means you can easily grab a table with mates or family, even on busier days.

Areas for Improvement

  • Food quality isn't always up to scratch – think overcooked steaks or meals that feel a tad underwhelming.
  • Some folks miss a bit of atmosphere, as it's pretty quiet without any music to liven things up.
  • Staff might not always handle complaints well, leaving you feeling a bit ignored if things go wrong.

The Slounge is a cosy little basement bar in Lowestoft that's a real treat for beer enthusiasts, with cracking ales and live music on offer, though you'll need to watch out for its limited hours and cash-only setup.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer selection is absolutely spot on, with a fantastic range of cask ales and craft brews from local and international favourites like Three Blind Mice and Verdant.

  • Options are a bit limited if you're not into beer, with just a few soft drinks and wine in a can to choose from.

The Terrace Bar is a charming little spot in Lowestoft with fabulous sea views and friendly vibes, though its evening-only hours might limit its appeal.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The sea views are absolutely stunning, making it a brilliant spot for a relaxing evening out.
  • The staff are really friendly and welcoming, which adds to the homely feel.
  • It's great for a casual coffee or some tasty sharing plates and treats during the limited hours it's open.

  • With only a few reviews available, it's hard to get a full sense of what to expect beyond the basics.
  • There's no website or online presence, so it could be tricky to find more details or check for updates.

Bar 20 & Rooftop Terrace

4.1(10 reviews)
76/100
Bar 20 & Rooftop Terrace is a lovely little hideaway in Lowestoft with cracking views and a welcoming atmosphere, but it's a shame the cocktails don't quite live up to the hype.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The rooftop terrace boasts a stunning sea view, making it a brilliant spot for a relaxing drink and soak in the scenery.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always up for a chat and happy to accommodate requests like switching to watch the F1.
  • Drinks are reasonably priced, and you can even take away alcohol in cups for a bit of convenience.
  • It's got a modern, comfortable vibe with games on offer, perfect for a quiet evening with mates.
Areas for Improvement
  • The cocktails are a bit of a letdown, as they're pre-made from jars and bottles rather than freshly crafted, which doesn't match up to the menu's enticing descriptions.
  • A few folks have mentioned disappointing experiences with the drinks, like coffee martinis and strawberry daiquiris that just didn't hit the mark.

The Old Blue Anchor is a charming little bar in Lowestoft that's got rave reviews for its food and vibe, but it's still a bit of an unknown quantity with so few opinions out there.

  • They've got gluten-free choices, which is brilliant for anyone with dietary needs
