Wilkin & Sons have regretfully announced that their Southwold Tea Room closed on Friday 25th April until further notice.
We are truly disappointed that it has become necessary to close our much-loved Tea Room in the heart of Southwold,” said Nicky Goldsack, Head of Tea Room Operations. “Like many others, we have faced challenging times recently and we have reluctantly decided to prioritise investment in Tea Rooms that are more local to our core operations.”
“We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our great staff, loyal visitors, and the supportive local business community who have made our time in Southwold so special over the years.”
