Fresh Seafood, Proper Plates
Right next to the castle gates, Cod of the Castle is serving up a fresh take on classic coastal cooking! From buttery garlic prawns to whole sea bass, hearty fish casseroles, and our famous seafood platters, everything is made with quality ingredients and castle-sized flavour.
Something for Everyone
Not a seafood fan? No worries – we’ve got you covered. From honey-roast rotisserie chicken and confit duck leg to our hearty vegetarian favourites like Hearth-Roasted Aubergine or Halloumi Joust, there’s plenty to love even if you’re skipping the seafood. We’ve even got a top-notch burger!
A Seat for Every Setting
Daytimes are full of families, laughter, and the clatter of great plates. As evening rolls in, the lighting softens, the wine flows, and the vibe gets just a touch more relaxed – perfect for both casual dinners and special nights out.
From the Press
We were thrilled to be featured by Suffolk Food Stories – they had plenty of kind (and delicious) words to say.
