| Agree with previous poster (though posting it 3 months later: hope he's been sacked!) Food overpriced (as everywhere in Suffolk) and mediocre. Fortunately the beer is usually OK. Pus like htis are lucky to be tied to such a quality brewery as Adnams, otherwise they would have no redeeming features. nogginthenogg - 4 Feb 2010 10:55 |
| The Cross Keys looks picturesque from the front, and has a busy seating area (in Summer) behind it facing the beach. All good so far; until you try the beer and food. Quite simply, the WORST pint of Adnams i've ever tasted; cloudy, warm, flat..eugh! The food is just awful, tastes processed, and the whole pub is pervaded by the smell of old cooking oil. We have a 2nd home in Aldeburgh and are in town 10/12 times a year. 2/3 times a year I visit the Cross Keys to check for improvement but just not happening. Added to that the unshaven, dishevelled barman who actually sneers "Is there anything else" when you order your solitary (poor) pint, and it really is a pub best avoided. Try the White Hart in the High Street for a genuine warm welcome from Chris the landlord, decent well-kept beers, and convivial chat with locals and visitors alike. suffolkfan - 21 Oct 2009 10:49 |
| Is this the same pub we're all talking about? Went there this weekend with a large mixed crowd of adults and children and couldn't have been made more welcome. Not only was the food fresh, generous and delicious (good enough to appease all our group's gastro-snobs) but we also had the landlord coming over to praise our children for being so well behaved. An absolutely lovely pub. kittykitty - 25 Mar 2009 13:20 |
| From the outside, it looks very appealing. Sadly, the staff were surly and aggressive. The foreign gentleman working behind the bar made my partner and I feel very unwelcome once he found that we had only come in for a drink and not for a meal. broadsidejim - 10 Mar 2009 21:13 |
| Some good ale and welcoming staff in here on my visit. Rod_Hariga - 26 Dec 2008 22:00 |
