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”.

After perusing the shops, concert hall and other cultural draws of the Snape Maltings arts complex, refuel at the Burnside twins’ appealing gastroboozer, rated this year for its “excellent light lunch”. (The siblings also run the Regatta restaurant in nearby Aldeburgh and sixteenth-century pub-with rooms, The Golden Key, located in Snape village.)

Set amid the artistic attractions, performance venues and shops of Snape Maltings, and therefore “very good for a light lunch mid-shopping or pre-concert”, the Burnside twins’ welcoming boozer is “noticeably better than many other pubs with a similar guaranteed clientele”.

For 33 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).
