"I hadn't eaten here for a few years, but the food had always been good in the past so I decided to ignore this year's negative reviews. Big mistake this place now does average pub food at high prices e.g. £22 for a medium sized fish pie. Wine list is now very restricted. Service wasn't great either they brought out the fish pies at the same time as the shared starters, contrary to our instructions the manager seemed to insist that this was our mistake and therefore our problem! Still no bookings taken but we just about managed to find a table in the back dining room at 12:30 on a Sunday. It must remain popular only because it's one of only 2 pubs in Walberswick, but I won't be back."

Lovely location with plenty of inside and outside seating. Good beer,but food is a bit limited. Had the belly pork, which was quite tough and fatty. Fine pub if you want the usual fish and chips or scampi. Service: 4 Location: 5 View menu

When you walk in what you see is a pub that is exactly like a good old, 600 yr old, traditional pub should be like. We arrived at exactly 12.00 on a Saturday lunch time and it was almost full which says a lot. The service, food and drink were all great and because we went out of season there wasn't anyone wearing pink chinos with a jumper tied round their neck accompanied by someone wearing dubarry boots and riding trousers. Definitely visit.

"This wasn’t our first visit (the previous occasion was more positive than this) but this was really quite poor. Problem after problem, service was poor and just not very welcoming. Firstly, drinks weren’t available issues with draft, but then bottles weren’t available either. So there was a very limited selection of drinks on offer and the staff weren’t proactive in advising what was available. So it was request and receive a no! Secondly, the food was poor. The starters were shocking. Really quite bad. There was a bit of redemption from some of the mains, but we elected to not proceed with anything else as it wasn’t great. We had to wait ages for drinks and foods to arrive despite the fact that the restaurant was practically empty and many staff present. Frequently there were 3 staff at the back of the room standing about chatting, but they weren’t attentive to our needs. They didn’t check around the room to see if guests required additional drinks or require plates clearing. They didn’t check to see how the food was and when we complained regarding a starter they simply didn’t know how to handle it. When the draft beer came back on there was no proactive behaviour in returning to the table and letting us know so that more drinks could be ordered. Drinks were poured in wrong glasses, plates were cleared whilst people were still eating and then not cleared when they needed to be! Simply put the staff working had no idea on what table service should be perhaps they had received no training which is a major failing when the restaurant is part of a hotel. It was not welcoming. The restaurant was freezing cold. The service was really very poor and the food disappointing. They also don’t take dogs which in Aldeburgh is a bit weird. There is plenty of space and the tables are large so they would not be in the way. We won’t be returning."
