| have been going in periodically, and its not much different. This pub lives on the fact it is extremely old, but its tedious and not really much fun. Haven't bothered risking the food for at least three years or so as the menu hasn't changed and that worries me. Harry the barmaid left some years ago and she was the only fun bit of the pub - though she still works in the high street. I think its a shame this should be a great pub but the landlady/absent landlord really let it down - surly, miserable and overpriced wine glodwock - 17 Apr 2008 21:26 |
| I used to live and work in Aldeburgh and always remembered the lovely seafood lasagne at the Cross Keys. Last week I visited again and was hoping for a bit of nice pub grub. My partner wanted the cod and chips, which, I was rather unmceremoniously told by the grumpy lady taking the food orders had run out. So I opted for the fish pie and he had the meat lasagne. The fish pie was revolting, the mash topping tasted like Smash and the tiny amount of sauce tasted like Colemans instant parsley sauce. The vegetables were inedible, the cauliflower was brown (which is quite hard to achieve) and stunk of the chiller it had come out of - veg that is not freshly cooked astounds me - there is just no need. The lasagne also was foul by all accounts and we had a thoroughly disappointing meal. I will never go there again. My partner had a pint of Adnams which only has to travel a few miles down the road from Southwold which was cloudy and just not very nice. All in all not a very pleasant experience! anonymous - 12 Apr 2007 11:12 |
| Again been going to aldeburgh for 7 yrs and this was my first port of call the first time. This was a great pub, with good food. Alas the food is now cruddy and second rate. But for us its the hot gossip in regards to the the licensees - which i wont go into here, but suffice it raises an eyebrow and makes my husband return. This is a kids pub despite being the oldest pub in the village glodwock - 31 Jan 2007 15:52 |
| On a recent visit to aldeburgh my friends and I embarked on a pub crawl around the town - we happened upon the cross keys full of young people who were very loud this must definately be the Aldeburgh haunt of the young as most seemed to young to have a drink in their hands. The beer was poorly kept and cloudy I did consult the barmaid on this and I was shot down in flames after trying two pints we left with a definate bad taste in the mouth - sorry but this is a review page and not ment to cause offence.

| It's like I died and went to Adnam's heaven..... brilliant place to try the brewery's wares. Good for a mid-week pint, and to munch some decent grub. Interesting array of paraphernalia dotted around the place. Real redeeming feature is that you can potter over the road to enjoy your pint on the sea wall. It's right next to the offshore lifeboat station, which gives you pride of place amongst spectators when the lifeboat is called out. Weekends are hectic there, and summer holiday weekends means that the place is rammed with boarding school pupils let off the leash. Lt_George - 30 Aug 2005 16:18 |
