Always busy and lively, the pub is popular with locals and visitors alike enjoying the coastal views from the nearby cliff top. It is situated next to the Sailor's Reading Room museum and close to the town centre. The pub has a flagstone floor with an open fire in winter months and is decorated throughout with naval and seafaring memorabilia. The large central bar offers a good range of Adnams beers. Children are welcome in the side room and patio garden to the rear. Food is now available Fri 5-9 and Sat 12-9 provided by the Black Dog Pizza Co.

Historic Interest

A report in the Ipswich Journal on 26 Oct 1869 states that: The licensed Vctuallers Tea Association advertised the sale of tea via its Suffolk Agents. This was a response to the irregular sale of Wine by Grocers & included a reference to H. LAWRENCE of the Lord Nelson, Southwold. A paperback book published in 1969, called "Inns of the Suffolk Coast" by Leonard P Thompson claims that for many years, it was called the Raven.
