Thank you and goodbye from all of us at The Golden Key 🔑
After nearly nine years at this special little pub our last day will be 18th January 2026.
It has not been an easy decision and with the heaviest of hearts we would like to thank our amazing staff past and present, including our brilliant manager Eli, our loyal customers, fantastic local suppliers, Adnams, musicians and the villagers of Snape (the regular drinkers, the Meet-Up Mondays crew, the ladies who lunch and the grumpies), just to name a few!
From opening the doors in 2017 to now, including the uncertain years of Covid with takeaways and our ‘Pub 2 Plate’ range to our live music, Open Mic, theme food nights and village events, we have enjoyed every single minute of running The Golden Key and the support we have received has been phenomenal!
Pubs are such an important part of community life and we are deeply saddened to part with The Key. Please give as much support as you can to your small local businesses - we are very much still at the helm of The Plough and Sail in Snape and Regatta Restaurant in Aldeburgh and are looking forward to the year ahead!
Alex and Oli Burnside
