The Old Dairy

The Old Dairy is a compact waterside café on the Oulton Broad side of Lowestoft, where dogs are welcome inside alongside their people.

Tucked close to Lowestoft Museum and the waterfront, it's a handy stop for anyone heading out on the Broad walks or needing a mid-morning break with the dog in tow. Open Monday to Thursday and Saturday from 8:30am to 4pm, Friday until 9pm and Sunday from 9am to 3pm, it offers a practical café menu with friendly staff who make both two-legs and four-legs feel properly looked after. Reviews praise the food, the welcome and the relaxed atmosphere.

Whether you're starting a longer walk or just need somewhere warm to sit with a coffee and a well-behaved dog at your feet, The Old Dairy does exactly what a good local café should: lets you both in, keeps it simple and gets you back out onto the paths without fuss.
