The Box in Waveney

What a lucky find! We had given up on finding a place to eat on a Sunday night due to restaurants being fully booked or not serving food - decided to buy some pizzas to cook at home but on the way back, got a waft of the food from The Box. We swiftly decided to abandon our pizzas and get some food from here. Thank goodness we did! This saved our evening! The lady cooking our food was so characterful and knowledgeable about her food and clearly has such passion for it. The food was so fresh and not at all greasy. The prawn curry was incredible with huge prawns picked up from the local market and a decent number in each curry pot! Great portion sizes too! We were kindly given extras too such a pot of squash curry and salad and a abundance of naans and popadoms. Overall, this was fantastic!

Went twice today to The Box. In the morning, they had a great range of top quality artisan bakery items including an excellent walnut and date bread, and a really tasty raspberry and chocolate tart. Certainly as good as the other excellent artisanal bakery in Southwold.Then tonight we went back for ‘The Jewel in the Box’ - which was equally excellent. We ordered several different dishes and each was tasty and generous in portion. Julie’s clearly a very good chef and is doing a great job running this lovely little business.

Lovely staff but the food was very underwhelming, food was completely different to what was expected. Ordered 2 kormas both were incredibly spicy but also bland in flavour, ordered another 2 dishes but neither was what was described as on the menu as I ordered cauliflower but it came with broccoli. The place does not provide takeout cutlery or drinks of any sort. I had rlly high hopes and was quite disappointed.

Been to the street food Friday pop ups a couple of times and have loved them! Such a fun idea and really yummy food. The black dog deli guys are really nice too:)

Such interesting flavours, for both vegetarians and meat eaters! Great selection for a picnic.

Went to southwold last Saturday and found the box by accident, was I glad we did, date and walnut bread superb, along with other pastries and sweet treats we bought, not to mention the Bungay raw butter. Will return next time in southwold. The locals are very lucky !!!!!!.

Never ate here as I waited forty minutes outside in the cold and then got fed up and went across the street to buy fish and chips. Owners should maybe consider preorder.

We had tandoori salad box for lunch. Generous portions and totally delicious.

On a Saturday, the best bakery by far in Southwold, also sells beef from Henstead Marsh Farm.

What a fantastic find! Incredible selection of lovely breads and sweet and savoury treats. Beer bacon and chilli jam swirl is a work of genius. Gent who ran the place was incredibly friendly and helpful.
