The King's Head in Suffolk Coastal

A nice menu. The food was good. Nice outdoor seating area. Combined with a coffee and cake shop.service was friendly and professional. Good sized car park.

Great village pub,good beers, and very good food, quality and quantity we couldn't fault.we ate here twice, while on holiday. Everything was so good, we decided to return - the staff were very amiable and efficient. Many thanks.

We popped in a few times for a drink whilst on holiday in Orford. The service was always good and we received a friendly welcome. We ordered the pie as well on one occasion which was home made and tasty!

Finding ourselves in Orford, we spotted this pub and ventured in. From the outset, a friendly atmosphere - a nice place to be. Started with an Adnams beer and a white wine, and both of us had the blue cheese and walnut salad from the Light Bites section. It was great! A beautifully presented large bowl of freshness (wasn't keen on the dressing on the side, but that's a personal choice only). Service was really good, and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience - would go back, for sure.

Busy most times we have been in which must count for something. Will definitely be back and look forward to sampling the local beer once again.

Great little family and dog friendly pub near the quay/ harbour (short walk into village). We ordered a ham & mustard sandwich which was delicious with thick slices of real cut off the bone ham. Husband had a fish ginger baguette- huge and delicious!

First time in this pub but not our last, tasting board and pie and chips, all very tasty, food hot and nicely presented, good value for money as in a tourist destination like Orford I am sure they could charge more. Plenty of seating and friendly staff, what more could you ask for.

We stayed in Orford for a week and visited The Kings Head a few times. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Service was impeccable. The menu is good and varied with daily specials including their ‘crock pot’. Plenty of choice for younger ones and adults. Generous portions and all clearly homemade. Delicious pub food if that’s what you are after. Highly recommend

Home made soup, Mac and cheese very tasty. Lovely surroundings, helpful staff, plenty of tables, no need to book.

My daughter, grandsons (8 and 5) and I had lunch here on Monday 31st July. The food was delicious, well presented and reasonably priced, and a much higher standard than the normal pub lunch. The service was friendly, helpful and couldn’t be bettered. I look forward to returning soon.

We were tempted in by a board outside advertising a hotpot casserole. Service was slow, but we were eventually served with a sausage hotpot for two people. It arrived having been ladled into a large, completely cold cast-iron pot, accompanied by a small, rather nasty supermarket bake-ar-home baguette and four molten wrapped rectangles of butter. We were given cold bowls to eat from. The quantity was extremely ungenerous and the casserole, though delicious, was lukewarm. We queried the cold pots and bowls and we’re told that the cook usually warmed the pots but hadn’t had time. The restaurant was not full. We were not tempted to stay and will not return.

Lovely ambiance...lovely food We visited tonight where the staff were extremely busy with a concert at the venue next door....they were very professional, welcoming and polite....5* to the bar staff! We had haddock and chips, which was served promptly and delicious....another 5*...do not hesitate to go here....as a visitor, we were made to feel like a local.

Good solid pub grub. Lovely homemade cheese straws and a very decent steak pie. Pub deserves to be busier. It was very empty on a midweek evening.

Awesome food that Is worth the bang for its buck, made me plentiful gassy and burpy , just shows I enjoyed the food, staff were smiley and friendly

Popped into the kings for a beer on a midweek night in september to relax, three good plus points were good company, friendly staff, the young barmaid and barman were very chatty and good fun, a reasonable lager to drink which is a rarity in orford pubs nowadays, and now the weekend warriors headed back south down the A12 it was nice just to sit on the bar stools at the bar and relax.

Popped in for a light lunch. Chose the soup - leek and potato. Should have asked if it was home made as it was obviously out of a packet and was absolutely horrible. Just tasted of bouillon powder and certainly hadn't been cooked long enough. My coke was flat as well.

Had a light lunch at the Kings Head as we were eating out again for dinner. Good portions and well prepared. I had the fish and the batter was excellent - light and crispy!

So we went to Orford castle and found the King's Head after a walk around the lovely village. A warm welcome in the pub from the staff and we sat outside, we both ordered sandwiches which were delicious and the Adnams stout went down well. We left .... and realised when we got back to our hotel in Aldeburgh that I had left my binoculars on the wooden seat at the pub. I was gutted as family heirloom due to my collection of horseracing badges. I left a message and was so relieved to receive a call saying that they were behind the bar ... So thank you sooooo much

Positives…called after a booking elsewhere was cancelled (covid related) & they fitted us in at the last minute. Food was good and it has a no frills value for money menu. Cooked well and service very good. Negatives…young lad who looked after us was really nice but maybe I’m old fashioned but the love bite doesn’t look very professional. The pub smelt of a proper boozer mainly of toilets. I’m no snob and am not fussy but it was a little off putting. Would recommend the chilli nachos but didn’t stay for pudding.

I had the macaroni cheese and it was good. We ordered on the app and there were no problems. The staff were helpful and friendly.

A very splendid pub with excellent staff, good covid strategy and excellent choices of alcohol (will even let you taste before you purchase), inside or outside seating and worth a pint or two.

The food was good the service was excellent and the setting was lovely. The online ordering was a bit of an ordeal but that apart, and it all worked out rather well.

The staff are friendly and helpful. The food arrived swiftly and hot. It tasted absolutely delicious. Proper scampi, well cooked fluffy chips and all in a relaxed setting.

Booked for dinner at Kings Head at short notice and to be honest just did not have high expectations. I was however pleasantly surprised. Service was great and food was all obviously homemade and very tasty. The Chilli was excellent.

We had visited this pub 10 years earlier and remembered its location on our recent holiday . We didn’t book in advance and so were pleasantly surprised when we were warmly welcomed in and a table was found. The food was delicious and service friendly...

Tried to get a simple drink from the bar, to drink outside, was told I had to go and actually sit outside, go to their website and download an app to order. There were 3 staff behind the bar who didn't look busy, I asked...

Unhelpful staff and dreadful food. No ordering other than by an app. Food was meagre and bland. Poor value for money

This looks like a nice pub, but not open in the afternoon so no use whatsoever. It is in a tourist spot so what are the management thinking?

Was looking for fish and chips by the quay but only smoked fish available. Checked the menu at this place and ordered a takeaway. As it was only a snack for lunch we shared a kids portion which was ample. Really tasty and not greasy....

Food was disappointing. Had fish and chips, batter on the fish was over cooked ( dark brown) on the outside, close to being burnt, but not cooked in the middle. Passed comments to tall male bar person but was not offered and recompense, just that...

All I wanted was a cheeky pre-lunch pint. My heart sank when I saw that I had to register digitally even though I was sat outside. But registration took less than a minute and my pint of Wave lager was with me seconds later. Great...

Very good lunch of homemade sandwiches and beer despite the need to master the app to make the ordering. Other customers struggled a bit too but once mastered service was lightening fast and the food very good.

We have had this trip planned since April 2020 but this was the first time we could get back to visiting Orford. What a delight. Great staff, lovely food and a really great bedrooms. Breakfast was served to order and everything was perfect. We ate...

I dropped by on a Tuesday when they don't normally do lunch, but they were running a special Pasta Lunch - choice of just 4 very reasonably priced dishes with proceeds going to support the local food larder. Well-laid-out outdoor tables, excellent, friendly service, and...

Stopped off for some food on a Sunday afternoon and ate at the tables to the left of the bar. Place seemed a bit soulless - Sunday roast was a huge disappointment. Billed as roast lamb was a dried out lamb steak, accompanied by pale...

Covid restrictions have greatly reduced the number of tables which inevitably effects atmosphere. However, staff were friendly and food was good.A smart phone is an advantage as customers are encouraged to order online. No bookings are taken but we got tables for lunch and dinner.

Dropped in at last minute for a quick beer, looked really nice food menu, wished we could have called back as the service and beer was great

We had generous well prepared sandwiches for lunch . Then for dinner I had one of the speciality house pies which was very good. No need to look elsewhere as the selection of beers and wines together with the menu met all needs.

We turned up just before the kitchen closed and ordered a ham and piccalilli sandwich and a cheddar and chutney. It is easy for a pub to get such simple sandwiches wrong but these were very good served with good fresh salad garnish and just what we wanted. They have a slightly annoying app order process in place that is a little tricky to navigate but in the big scheme of things, this is not a problem as the food was good, the Ghost Ship delicious, and they are taking safety seriously. The staff are friendly, patient and helpful.

This was an unexpected stop for lunch , the initial restrictions were a little daunting, but our server soon dispelled any doubts. Hand sanitised at the entrance to the garden area, dont know why, and a one way system of sorts. Plenty of people enjoying the outside atmosphere with sun shades at most tables. We chose the ploughmans sandwich with probably the best tasting ham that I have had for a long while, and it was generously cut. It is good to get out!!

King's head was one of the very few restaurants opened post lockdown and was located next to where we stayed. We tried and the service was good. The seabass I had is not particularly great and the portion is small. The pork cheek that my wife had was a starter turned out to be very good. Parking available on site. Booking is recommended as the capacity during lockdown is reduced. The seating outside is not particularly nice.

Lovely old historic pub , warm & inviting , very friendly , hospitable & accommodating landlord . Excellent well kept beer & good selection of wines . The food was fabulous, large choice on offer on menus & great specials board , thoroughly enjoyed all meals ( Duck , Fish cakes & Steak & Ale pie plus very tasty soup & blue cheese & walnut salad , great choice of deserts too & ice creams excellent ) Very quick service , thanks to the chef & landlord , we shall return very soon .

Lovely old pub , good food with friendly service. BONUS there is a large room , family friendly , and board games to enjoy.

Popped in for a quick pint of beer around 6.30 last night and Ian refused to serve me as I wasn’t taking part in the quiz night that hadn’t even started.I have been visiting Orford for the last 13 years and have always supported the Kings Head, especially over the last 5 years as remember so clearly Ian being so welcoming when he took over.I’m afraid that the unreasonable events of last night mean that going forward my custom will be taken elsewhere, such a shame.

We had lunch in here a couple of times over the weekend and I couldn't fault it. The "but" in my title is because for some strange reason guests are not allowed to eat at tables by the fire as these are reserved for "drinkers". These tables stayed mainly empty until a man challenged the rule and was eventually allowed to sit his elderly father by the fire so that he could eat in the warm. To say it was awkward for the poor lad working there who was tasked with enforcing the rule and everyone else obediently eating at the allotted tables is an under-statement.

The Sunday lunch was average, potatoes were hard, staff were friendly. It was great to see this was an enormously dog friendly pub and every dog was welcome with great friendliness. However I do feel having dogs sitting on the bar area being fed by the staff the left over potatoes was a bit much. I am a dog lover and owner but I think this is a bit too far. Dogs should not be sat on bar stools or the bar sorry this cannot be hygienic for a food venue.

A new chef has made a difference! The food was delicious when I went for dinner last weekend. The menu was varied, the price was reasonable and the service was good.

We just moved to Sudbourne and popped into The Kings Head for an early dinner before rushing back for a late delivery. I think we are so lucky to have this as our local. The food was great, it arrived quickly and was perfectly seasoned. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming and I really was in no mood to rush home. Everyone was having a good time in their groups: couples, familes, friends etc and it was so relaxing. Next time, we'll go when we don't have to rush back and relax and enjoy the whole evening.

We had two meals (chicken Caesar) quite late in lunch service. We couldn’t eat more than a few mouthfuls and it tasted so fishy despite asking for no anchovy’s we had to send them back. We weren’t offered a refund, they did apologise. We were both poorly immediately after.

This was our first visit to this country pub. Very friendly & attentive service from the bar staff.Amazing & delicious freshly cooked trout with a great variety of vegetables.My wife had a good vegetarian pasta dish.Will return to this pub in the near future.Highly recommended for couples for quiet dinners.

Ate dinner here on holiday. Fish and chips are good, vegan chilli is good, ham eggs and chips is good. Beer is good. The staff are cheerful, welcoming and friendly.

The roast beef was delicious and my vegetarian family loved the nut roast, though the pork (minus crackling) was disappointing. Good beer, lovely pub in sweet village.

We visited 5 times within 7 days whilst on holiday last week in Orford. Meals are superb , good value , good quality and generous portions.

We opted to have dinner here, we booked a table and arrived early for a drink first. We were shown to our table however the rest of the restaurant was empty, so we headed back to the bar area for a while. When we did sit down to eat, our waiter (Bradley) was friendly and helpful.

Popped in for lunch after visiting the castle. Adnams beer on tap and a good lunchtime menu. Perfect. The sandwiches were doorstep and appetising but we opted for plain scampi and chips. The chips seemed to be authentic and actually cut from real potatoes as opposed to the ubiquitous, tasteless oven-ready horrors served in most pubs. The scampi was good and the tartar sauce was rustic and appeared to be 'homemade'. The pub is friendly, the staff welcoming and, joy of joys, there is no music! We will certainly be back.

Our room was not cleaned very well. There were cobwebs on the ceiling, under the radiator was filthy and I could have written my name in the dust on the table lamp base. The tv kept cutting out and going to no signal for about15 minutes at a time. When I complained to the man who checked us out he just shrugged his shoulders and said the tv did work and he would speak to the housekeeper. There was not a hint of an apology. We definitely NOT go back.

The title sums it up. We had undercooked, overcooked and perfection in the same meal. If I'd been served up the Stilton and Broccoli soup in half the volume and twice the price at some celebrity chef venue I'd still have enthused over it. Cauliflower cheese, undercooked, chicken overcooked, steak perfect. Perhaps it was just a bad day. Sending stuff back to the kitchen rarely works, your evening is then disjointed. So, perhaps they were having a bad day. It happens. There were plenty of other punters around and they seemed to be having a good time.

We visited the Kings Head in Orford with family who were staying with us from Canada. The food was good and the pub welcome dogs as well. The main dishes were a bit on the expensive side Seafood Risotto was £19.95 but the food was well prepared and tasty. Lots of choice for desserts. Worth booking in advance to get a table

After sightseeing and wandering around the lanes and quay it was lovely to relax with a drink at this roadside pub. The staff were friendly and made us feel very welcome. Water was readily available for our Cocker Spaniel, Poppy. As we are staying in the area will be dropping in at the end of each day.

We visited for lunch after touring the castle. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the warmth! The menu was varied and we all found something we liked. The fish finger baguette was amazing and the sandwiches excellent. The place was packed which was testament to its popularity.

Excellent breakfast. It took us a while to find someone to book us in. Once we did he was friendly. The room was comfortable but you could hear the bar below. Overall a good experience.

Walking into this pub is walking back into the past - in a good way! It is like being in an episode of the Archers - charming, just a proper old fashioned pub BUT with amazing food. Really hearty and satisfying - and this review applies to the whole experience - not just the food!

Worked up an appetite with a Saturday lunchtime stroll suggested by an Adnams pub walks guide, along The Ore from The Quay at Orford and back past the castle. Our hunger was boosted by watching a bobbing seal demolish a fish in the estuary, and a swan nosing into a dyke bank in the marshes, so we were pleased to be able to squeeze into The King's Head next to what we took for a well-behaved posh hen group. My wife enjoyed the naturally-smoked haddock with prawns (and delicious new potatoes) from the specials board. It's hard to beat fish & chips out of paper on a quayside or beach, but the coastal pub version I plumped for was spot on. Beer-battered cod bigger than the plate and tenderly flakey inside, chips crisp on the outside with a fluffy inner, Tartare with bite, stubby bottle of locally-made ketchup. All washed down with the always excellent handpumped Adnams. This will be our go-to pub next time we're visiting the area.

Lovely beer. Lovely spot by the fire. Lovely relaxed atmosphere. Lovely-looking specials board (unfortunately we didn’t have time to stay and eat – but we will next time). Lovely pub.

It accommodates dogs and we picked a nice table by the fire. It was quite busy with a lot of young children and parents and the customary old gentleman at the bar. The menu was interesting and the boards on the wall had specials of the day. We both had a sandwich which was filled with chunks of ham and mustard and roast pork and apples the best sandwiches we have had in a long time. I definitely recommend this public house.

We booked on a quiet night but asked for a corner table for four with a shy dog! It was great to find our request had been responded to directly with the dog mentioned on the table reservation notice! She felt like a VIP from the start and became less shy very quickly!

I had stayed here 7 years ago, lovely experience. Was disappointed by both the food and the atmosphere this time. Saturday evening, and absolutely no one around. My friend and her girls had the garlic 'bread'...no garlic and tasteless. Disappointing.

We had pre booked a table for 10 for our early family Sunday get together before Xmas.

Wonderful Ambience and amazing food.Suffolk does some wonderful Fish & Chips at Aldeburgh and Dunwich but nothing can beat the amazing Fish and Chips they serve here.

Decent food- nice selection, pie a little salty. However unhurried dining means service was very slow - 45 min- with no warning, and no apology.

We were a little late at 2.15pm but the barman (owner) made it pretty clear that they didn’t really want to bother with us. Claimed no free tables when they were clearly two empty ones in the restaurant area (excluding the rather odd arrangement in the bar where tables are reserved for drinking only and were consequently unoccupied).

For one night only as part of the 2018 Aldeburgh Food & Drink festival, fringe event The Kings Head hosted an evening of Eastern Mediterranean inspired food.The kitchen was managed by the Hay Hay team for the night.

My family have dined here many times, often many of us at once ( up to 19 of us on occasion) and the food and service has always been spot on. We love it here because you can guarantee a great time will be had.

We ate here for lunch during our stay in Orford.Staff were friendly.The Kings Head is located in the centre of the village.We had sandwiches for our lunch and found them unappetising and bland.Drinks were fine.

We had a light meal there so it is not fair to review the food for a proper meal, but based on what we saw around us, the standard seemed quite good & what we had was very well presented.

Booked for Sunday birthday lunch, Two had soup could have been thicker and hotter. Two had pork, Two had beef. Again the food could have been hotter and why not ask customers how they want their beef cooked? The Beef served to us was red raw in parts and impossible to cut into. Why assume we all like red raw meat, Very off putting to my Husband as two years ago he had very bad food poisoning after eating Calves liver that was not cooked properly and ended up very ill and losing a stone in weight in just one week. The desserts were okay, Saw two dogs sitting quietly under the table they were together so no growling, In fact remarked to my Husband better behaved than most peoples kids and we had four. So any kick off must have been before we arrived, Some people go over board if they see dogs around. Does not bother us at all. Would like to say the table holder that holds the table number was covered in sticky mucky whatever off peoples fingers, Obviously who cleans the tables down does not think to put a damp cloth over that and wipe it down. That to us was disgusting to look at and the salt and pepper pot needed a wipe over as well. Finally the young female food server should ask customers if everything is alright when they are eating not when they are leaving,

We came for Sunday lunch and was disappointed with the food. The food was poor quality, badly presented and served. The food was cold.The food came far too quickly to be freshly prepared. When a call back was made by the waitress we expressed our dissatisfaction regarding the fact the food was cold and we weren't impressed with the meals. The member of staff had no interest.

We stayed here for 2 nights as we wanted to eat at the Butley Oysterage on the square for our wedding anniversary. We stayed in Dabchicks room. The entrance hall needed a good clean. The room with a sofa bed for a child was ok, The TV was in this room as was the coffee and tea table. The bedroom was up a step. There was no wardrobe or hanging rail. The bathroom eas up another step across a hallway. The shower had mildew on the tiles. The towels were cheap and nasty. Would never stay here again. Breakfast was ok.

Lovely bar with friendly staff, great selection of beers and wine. Good atmosphere and while we were there we had live music.

The breakfast was great and staff friendly. However the room and stairway could do with a good clean. TV needs updating and the whole place needs some TLC. We noticed that one room has had a makeover. Maybe the rest of the building will follow?

It’s pretty much perfect. Nice Adnams beers and gins and good food which is not too expensive. We ate a couple of times here over a week and did the same last year. A very nice old bar area and very pleasant dining room. The staff are helpful and friendly. It’s also in a great location in a lovely village. It’s as good as anywhere else in the area. Great stuff. Unusual pub sign - Henry II - to reflect the history.

Booked a table for a large family evening meal. Reservation was very friendly. Excellent selection of meals in the menu and specials- something delicious for everyone in our party who ranged from 10 to 80. In fact difficult to make a decision! Kids loved the burgers, the fish and chips were great and the smoked mackerel salad was fantastic. Service was very good. Would definitely recommend it.

Our very first visit on 15/8/2018 and very impressed. Husband had Liver/Bacon just loved it said gravy was lovely. Son /in/law had the Burger with the trimmings again he enjoyed that. Daughter had Steak/Ale /Pie loved that. I had Skate/Chips beautiful and I am fussy about my Fish/Chips Husband said could not eat whole desert so shared my Sticky toffee pudding with Ice Cream with me. Daughter had the Chocolate Brownie she liked very much. Can only comment on our first visit today but if consistent should do very well. Another plus Son/In/Law wanted Mayo and was given a small bottle of it. So many places give out stupid sachets so you end up with it all over your fingers or wearing it, Look forward to going again as Daughter lives in the area now..

A visit to Orford for lunch with my parents. My mum has extremely high standards and for that matter so do I! We had planned lunch at another local eating place but discovered that lunch service ceased at 2pm. So we looked and found The King's Head who serve later. We received a very warm welcome where nothing was too much trouble. We sat in the dining area which I thought was lovely. I appreciate older buildings with character and charm and this felt warm and inviting. The menu offered a really good choice. My mother who is incredibly choosy about her food ordered a Wing of Skate, my father ordered Liver & Bacon, my husband ordered the King's Head Burger and I ordered the Steak & Ale Pie. The food arrived at our table and all I can say is wow!! Nicely presented, incredibly fresh and I personally didn't know where to start with the Steak & Ale Pie served with chips, carrots, cauliflower and mange tout. The pie was well filled with no soggy pastry, the chips were perfect and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. My parents said that their dishes were delicious too. My husband totally enjoyed his burger with chips, beautifully fresh salad and a home made burger relish. Desert just had to be done, sticky toffee pudding with ice-cream and chocolate brownie with ice-cream. Absolutely divine. Staff were lovely and we will return to this very welcoming village public house. When I say that my mother had no complaints whatsoever then that means this place is well worth a visit......believe me :)) Thank you to The King's Head and we will be visiting again soon!

Didn’t eat here but visited several times during our holiday. Nice people very friendly and welcoming my husband left his wallet on the table the bar man came after us to give it back which was lovely of him.

Evening service, 5 of us, 2 having fish and chips (which were huge) 1 having the seafood linguine 1 a rare steak and the 5th having steak and ale pie. Short wait for the meals to arrive, but not unacceptable. All the meals delivered at the same time all perfectly cooked. Well done the chef for getting timing right so all the veg were as they should be. The pastry on the pie wasn’t just a puff pastry lid stuck on at the end, it was a proper pie top sealing in the filling during cooking so this was very tasty. Well worth the money, we’re here for a few days so I know we’ll be back. Hopefully next time the liver I’d seen on the menu board the previous day will be back. Did I mention the menu varies each day another sign of a well run restaurant.

Friendly staff and very good food. However, room very, very basic with the smallest tv I have ever seen. Noisy being next to rood with window having to be open. There are creaking floors and creaking floors but this one was ridiculous ~ heaven help the people below it. Did not find room or dining area that clean. Sticky tables and left over breakfast items left out for hours on the table in the summer heat with the resulting flies. Very disappointed and would not stay again despite the friendly staff and excellent food.

A very pub on the edge of the village square with extensive menu and local beers. Fish baguette and crayfish sandwich were tasty and filling. Thanks for the vote if you found this review helpful.

Came with friends for lunch today and had lovely scampi and chips and the service was great! The young lady was friendly and very helpful, and made us feel very welcome! Thank you

A friendly pub in the centre of the village. Nice to find a pub with no TV or machines these days. Quite an extensive menu, and the normal range of Adnams beers.

Our first visit to orford and this pub completed a lovely day the two young people behind the bar were very efficient despite a large group ordering separately my mushroom pasta dish had a beautiful sauce while my wife's live was cooked just right we visit again

This 'ancient' traditional pub has seemingly been modified on many occasions but retains it's 'historic' image. However, whilst the Bar is welcoming and offers a wide range of Adnams ales, wines and spirits the overall layout and fixtures/fittings are somewhat drab.

We were served the first meals of the day as we arrived dot on opening time (12 noon). Meat Pie and veg, Lasagna and Garlic bread: excellent, as good as it gets!!!

The kings head in Orford is a great place to base yourself to explore the Suffolk coast. Orford itself is a pretty village with plenty to offer. The castle, an interesting church, the Ness and some fabulous walks. A nice circular walk of around 12 miles through snape is very nice as is a trip on the buttley ferry across to shingle street. The kings head manages to strike a good balance between pub, inn and eatery. The beer is well kept if a little pricey, staff are friendly and welcoming. The food is very good and the accommodation more than adequate. All in all very nice.

Often pop to orford but have never been in until this evening. Lovely, welcoming atmosphere. Scampi and chips and the burger were fab. Best chips I've had in a while. My partner loved the sticky toffee pudding, one of the best he has had, and that is saying something. We will come again!

We have just spent the long weekend in Suffolk and based our three night stay at the King's Head. We were made welcome from the minute we arrived and our miniature long haired dachshund enjoyed himself as much as we did!

Had lunch here when visiting the castle. Needed a light lunch as we were having a dinner in the evening. I had sausage and mash, lovely onion gravy and the wife had ham egg and chips, home cooked ham and the best eggs.

First time we have been here as we normally frequent the other Adnams pub. But I am glad we gave this a go, friendly and very efficient service followed by a massive roast beer dinner with loads of nice veg and a homely pub to enjoy it in.

Had a lovely Sunday morning walk at Orford, mooched around the village for a while and then went into the King's Head for lunch. We were made very welcome and I had a wonderful grilled flounder (you don't often see that on a menu!). it quickly filled up and I imagine it's very popular, for entirely understandable reasons.

This pub offers a big cosy fire, sumptuous food with game roasts. Real community feel to it with access to info on walking locally etc. A fine selection of ales and a welcomi g greeting from the bar. Highly recommended
