Places to Eat - no visit to Suffolk would be complete without taking the opportunity to indulge yourself at some of the excellent pubs, restaurants and eating places in the local area.
We have listed some that are within walking distance or a short drive but for more information we also recommend looking at Suffolk Flavours below.
The Golden
Key is a relaxed cottage-style dining pub dating back
to the 1600's, just tucked away from the main road through
the village. With large roaring fires in the winter
and a sunny front terrace for warmer times the bar offers
a good range of Adnams, guest ales and wines by the
glass or bottle.
The Key is open
every day for lunch and dinner all year round. Tel:
01728 688510
The Golden Key is under the management of Metfield
Bakery who place emphasis on very local and very fresh ingredients.
As a result, fish landed at Aldeburgh, a smoke house in Saxmundham,
lambs just a few hundred yards away, rare-breed pigs, salad, vegetables,
and locally made breads provide much of the produce.
The Crown is a
15th Century smuggler's inn with old beams, brick floors
and probably the finest double Suffolk settle in existence.
The menu offers dishes cooked from locally sourced seasonal
produce including their own reared meat and vegetable
allotment, Adnams beers, and an interesting 30 plus
bin wine list. A warm welcome awaits you Telephone:

The Plough and Sail provides bright,
airy and avant garde surroundings to enjoy a mouth watering
selection of seasonal dishes and quality ales, wines
and spirits. Be sure to visit and enjoy a warm welcome
at the Plough and Sail, right next to the Snape Maltings,
perhaps before or after a concert or as a break during
shopping. Telephone: 01728 688413.
The Ship Inn is a traditional country
pub in the beautiful village of Blaxhall, 2 miles from
Snape and 6 miles from Aldeburgh. They offer a real
taste of the country with fine homemade food and Real
Ales.
The restaurant serves only the
highest quality home-cooked food with a whole range of
country favourites on the menu.
All their food is cooked using
the best local ingredients and locally produced meats, accompanied
by an extended selection of Real Ales, with 6 different varieties
available at any one time including local speciality, Adnams. Telephone:
