The pub is beautiful and cosy, the landlady was kind and cheerful and the food.....oh god, the food! We both had a starter of pigeon, not something you usually see on a pub menu and it was superbly cooked and tasted amazing. For my main I chose the steak burger with chips and onion rings, the burger was big, flavoursome and juicy and the touch I like is that the tomato ketchup on table was all homemade, not from a bottle! We will certainly come back to this awesome place if we are ever near the area again because it was outstanding!!

It wasn't particularly clean, the landlady was more interested in tapping on her laptop and was morose to say the least. The beer was awful, the menu uninspiring and overall it was a miserable experience. But..we heard it had been recently taken over and lots of work had been done to the kitchen, so we decided to give it another chance. We were so glad we did! Despite being very busy, we were greeted warmly and with a smiles. The food was excellent, freshly made & cooked on the premises and at a very reasonable price. The beer is superbly kept and the overall atmosphere is friendly and relaxed. We will definately be going again, and have no hesitation in recommending this. Its a beautiful pub, and with the new owners, will soon become the place to go. Superb!!

Whitebait and crab crab sandwiches both hit the spot, and didn't break the bank, at around £7 each. Gets rammed at busy times, like bank holidays, so don't expect to eat inside here ( or indeed anywhere else in Orford) unless you've booked ahead. Friendly and very efficient staff.

It's down near the quay, in a pretty old timber frame building, presumably of venerable age given you have to walk down several steps from street level when you enter. You walk into a small bar area with simple decoration, rustic beamy look and a restaurant off to the left. The food is good quality fresh pub food, a decent shortish menu. It is child and dog friendly and there is also a garden and outdoor tables for the summer. In my view, the best of the pubs in Orford.

We had just missed the lunch service but were made to feel extraordinarily welcome by Nick, the landlord, and were in no way treated like outsiders because it is very much a classic chocolate box village local and we'd come eighty miles from Cambridge to this sleepy Suffolk village. We were even given bar snacks on the house to make up (somewhat) for our disappointment at just missing lunch. But because we were treated so nicely this really was no problem at all. Great atmosphere, beautiful location. Will have to visit again to sample the food! Phone in advance, it gets booked up quickly.

So temper your expectations accordingly. Traditional old school pub at the sea. Most, if not all, dishes are seafood based (yes, please!). Decent draft and cocktail selection. Lovely outdoors area. Cozy, low-ceilings, and charming as heck. Chilly service, but I have had way worse so I am not too upset about it. (Maybe it was because I am American, but I was with Brits so...might just be the way it is.) I got a sort of chowder/stew situation that was creamy and decadent and delicious, as well as a salad, that was far bigger than I expected it to be, in order to get some veggies in my body. I would certainly recommend a visit to Aldeburgh if you want to get to the rocky seaside (I wish I could have stayed longer!) and a meal at the Cross Keys will hit the spot!

The Admans ale is the best in Britain, hands down, although I do not recall whether this is a "tied" house. I remember, a few decades ago, watching the marriage of Charles and Diana on the telly in the bar and getting plastered with the locals. This place is as traditional as it gets. The last time I was there I saw no fruit machines and I doubt any have appeared since then. A Suffolk treasure beyond measure.
