Harden's survey result
Summary
Food that’s “a notch above pub grub”, is proclaimed by fans of this free house next to Snape Maltings while other reports characterise it as “perfectly pleasant” or “ideal for a pre-concert meal”, but probably “not a destination otherwise”. The owners, twins Alex & Oliver Burnside, also run the Golden Key nearby and Regatta in Aldeburgh.
Summary
There’s “nowhere better for a pre-concert meal” at the Snape Maltings than this “reliable and cheery” dining pub, run since 2012 by twins Alex & Oliver Burnside, who have added the nearby Golden Key pub and Aldeburgh’s Regatta restaurant to their portfolio in recent years.
Summary
This “busy pub on the Snape Maltings site offering rather more than good pub grub” is “perfect for pre-concert” but is “winning lots of local regulars, not just the concert crowd”, with its “interesting menu and good service”. Run for 12 years by twins Alex & Oliver Burnside, who “also manage Regatta in Aldeburgh and the Golden Key around the corner”, the pub “has really improved over recent years”.
For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
