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!!

This is our favourite pub in the Suffolk Coastal area- we absolutely love the food!! The pub is…read morespacious and very traditional, with an open log fire and several different eating corners dotted around the pub and a lovely outside eating space/beer garden for in the summer. The menu has an enormous range of food- we struggle to choose just 1 main each because so many of them sound completely scrumptious. The pub really does sell traditional 'pub grub' -good steaks, lasagne, roasts etc- none of those small portion, fancy 'nouveau cuisine' dishes here. There is a daily roast with a different meat every day and the vegetables that accompany this are beautiful- fresh, colourful and not overcooked. Service is prompt, but not too prompt, prices are very reasonable and the landlady Avril is very keen to please and friendly. We've no negative feedback for this pub and gladly recommend it to our friends when they ask for a good 'food pub' recommendation. The pub closes on Mondays and has closed some other week day evenings recently when I assume, sadly business has been slow- if in doubt, do give them a call first.

We stopped at this pub last year (July 2010), charmed by its pretty location. We found the inside…read moreto be a disappointment. 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!!

14th Century pub, situated next to the church…read more Has become something of a bistro pub, although it still retains some of the local pub atmosphere about it. There is an extension at the back to accommodate more diners. Excellent food here, from basic pub grub upwards I recently had the liver and bacon recently, and even my wife who won't touch liver with a barge pole thought that it tasted fantastic. The prices are not the cheapest but the quality is excellent. Also worthy of note is the fact that you can't reserve tables, so you literally can walk in and get a table. There is ample parking at the rear of the pub. There are good walks and views of the River Orwell nearby. Update: Having been regulars here over the past 3-4 years, I thought that this would be nice for lunch over Christmas 2009 - especially since my wife and I were celebrating the birth of our first son, and his grandma was visitng him for the first time. I was amazed when the landlord (quite rudely many people nearby felt) said we couldn't bring our newborn in (considering he was in a car seat, soundly asleep). The Ship will not be getting our custom again while they continue with such rude behaviour to their customers and I will be encouraging my friends and colleagues to boycott the pub, which is a shame. So my rating has been altered from 4 stars for the food to 1 star for the service and treatment

What a picturesque little country pub - thatched cottages just demand admiring, but thatched pubs…read moreare so much better - not only do you get to admire, but you also get to go inside, enjoy them and sup your favourite tipple too! Traditional old English interior complete with dark wooden beams and slate flooring. I was staying in nearby Foxhall with my parents and we headed to The Ship for a quiet evening drink. The bar staff were friendly and welcoming and offered Ale direct from the cask along with a good choice of simple, refreshing wines. We'd eaten before arriving, but as soon as we saw the blackboard menu featuring Salmon and king prawn tail skewers, Catfish and Homemade steak pie we quickly realised we'd made a mistake by not eating here! As the food passed the tip of our noses on its way to another table the quality of food (as well as the delicious smell!) was very apparent. Not a massive menu, but good sign as it normally means the chef concentrates on getting a few dishes exactly right rather than trying to cook too many dishes not very well! The people on the table next to us were local and had obviously eaten here before. Good sign this place is worth coming back for. Next time we're in the area we've promised ourselves a visit to The Ship to try out their gastro delights!

The inn is 15th century and retains so many of the old features such as cut-outs in the wall to display the wattle and daub construction of the walls. The flagstone floors are lovely as well. 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.

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.
