"Booked last minute at this nice pub in Snape, very friendly staff welcomed us.It was evidently pie night , a pity for us as the special board had some very tempting dishes on it. However I chose one of the pies chicken, ham and leek served with chips and fresh cabbage, broccoli and mangetout plus gravy. Husband had smoked haddock bacon and onion mash with spinach. We really enjoyed both dishes and will have to go again to try the specials! My only gripe is the amount of dogs, wish we could go back to days when they were not allowed in establishments that serve food."

A delightful lunch whilst waiting for our car to be Mot’d at a nearby garage. We had fish and chips, which was delicious, light and plentiful. All washed down with a pint. A pub we have missed, having lived in Aldeburgh for a while. The staff were very welcoming and friendly….We most definitely will return.

I had the best stay! the bed was so comfortable I slept like a log. You get a real Suffolk experience at the golden key. The room was very spacious, clean and really well decorated. The bathroom was especially lovely. I had a full English which was absolutely delicious! I loved my stay and would definitely stay again. All the staff were very chatty and really welcoming. I noticed this with other guests too not just myself.

Exactly what a British pub should be! Lovely menu which was very child friendly, added bonus that we could bring our dog. The staff were so accommodating when my hungry son wanted an adult size meal. We enjoyed a game of chess whilst waiting for our meal. We had the steak pie, chips and vegetables which were really lovely. Boys had dessert and the sticky toffee pudding was enjoyed! Thank you so much. Would definitely return in the future.

One of the best lunches we’ve had anywhere in a long, long time! We both had pork belly which was incredibly delicious along with all the perfect trimmings inc root vegetable purée and red cabbage ….yum! My husband followed up with the sticky toffee pudding which again was in a different league to the usual, the caramelised banana addition he said were amazing! The staff too were lovely, very professional and helpful. Hopefully we’ll be back very soon! X

Wanted to try this place for a change. Not what we’d hoped unfortunately. Staff not unfriendly but not particularly friendly. The food was really not great at all, minimal effort. Cream mushrooms on toast, just one piece of toast no garnish or attempt at making most of it, should really have been 2 pieces. Salad on all plates very underwhelming. Garlic toast very basic. Best part of this pub though is nice little sun trap sat outside, unlike other snape pubs it’s not overlooking main road. So nice place for a drink.

Had called into this pub on a few occasions and the restaurant was always busy which to me is always a good sign but how wrong I was….hoisin duck spring rolls for starters with some dry lettuce and spring onions, 3 battered ‘tempura’ prawns with again garnished with dry lifeless lettuce wasn’t a good start….handmade burgers were okay again dry lettuce leafs no dressing…limited vegetables seemed cabbage was the main ingredient…staff not really that attentive didn’t ask whether everything was okay and room was cold will not rush to go back

"Sunday of our recent visit to aldeburgh was the Mother's Day and we welcomed the opportunity to taste the afternoon tea in the white lion hotel in adleburgh. the conditoir chef at the white lion is anmar odendal, an award-winning wedding cake designer. by her business crumb, she was recognized in 2013 by the high-time industry as the best wedding cake designer in the eastern englands. Our afternoon tea was florally inspired and included a selection of sandwiches, scones, cakes and pastries with a selection of tea, a glass champagne and a little pot flowers for mama, all at an incredible price of £20. it was overexamination good value and hard to think that we could get so much for so little. in a comparable iondon establishment would cost a afternoon as this probably at least £35 to £40. the selection of the fingersandwiches was delicious and included standard fillings such as gurke, sink, ei and water circles. the scenes were quite seductive, as they presented us an appealing texture. the outer was crispy and the interieur was soft. warm stuffed, the scones went floating with the dipped cream and delicious homemade skyberry jam. to the sweet things (my favorite part of a afternoon,) and on the top level of the tablet there were some beautiful pink meringue sandwiches lined with rosen water chantilly cream. these were delicate and as light as spring, and the combination with the cream was a good one. also on the top level was a zesty orange flower and vanille panna cotta sown with Indian orange blossom water and with fresh orange cest, popping sweets and a berry jelly. the jelly was particularly delicious as he was very fruity and helped to lift the panna cotta. the popping sweets was also a good note and gave the panna cotta an exciting twist. the panna cotta itself had a good consistency, but needed a little more vanilla for more taste. to move on the floor, and we really enjoyed the dark chocolate breweries as these were decadent and rich with an intense chocolate-y quality. the lavender sprocket was buttery and light, and the homemade makkarons of beet root and berry with a vanilla buttercream frosting filling were very welcoming. the macaron dishes were a little dense in the texture, but the taste combinations were a joy and were a joy to eat. a pistachio viktoriaschwamm came with a fabulous rose blossom jam center that really lifted the sponge with its sweet and exciting nature. it was a wonderful combination, and the sponge itself had a nice taste, although it was a touch dry. the themes for the afternoon tea on the white lion will change with the time as chef anmar constantly seeks new ideas and brings colorful inventions to the table. but is sure that every afternoon tee will be very pleasant. unique, colorful and funny, the pastries we tried were inviting to eat and showed solid technology. her creativity demonstrated the artistic and originality in her design. the sandwiches and skorn were also very good, and at a ridiculously reasonable price of £20 per head, the white lion showed that it is doing really well in the afternoon. I calculate today afternoon tee with 3.75/5"
