A delicious menu awaits at this thoughtfully-designed maritime pub in Trimley.We started with a fruity Romanian Sauvignon Blanc and respectable Côtes du Rhône, as we settled into their cosy dining room. The staff were very polite, professional and knowledgeable, if a little absent in the dining room.The smoked salmon starter was tasty and generous. This generosity continued into the main courses, where the pie of the day was an enormous chicken and mushroom suet pudding. It was vast. And delicious. And i didn’t want it to end, but was beaten by it. Their plating really is substantial! A shame, as I’d have loved one of their great-sounding desserts, but that was impossible.The scampi was gorgeous but the triple-cooked chips were on the dark brown side. Not sure what happened there. We overheard genuine praise from other tables too. Notably the BBQ ribs, but mainly the lasagna special, being the best they’d ever tasted. We’ll be back to check on these!In all, it’s a great location and we overlooked their wide outdoor area that looked perfect for a warm spring or summer day (sadly the weather hadn’t reached that point yet). It’s clean, dog-friendly, and with a high standard that is disarmingly unpretentious.For a corner of Suffolk that doesn’t have too many quality options, The Mariners Freehouse should definitely be shortlisted as a go-to in the area.

Clean. Comfortable. Caring, friendly staffGreat food! Roasts are lush, pretty much everything is. Great pint of Broadside. Clearly look after their cellar and pipes!Not over priced or pretentious. Great value and perfect portions, never leave feeling hungry. ?

My partner and I went here after work one evening to get some dinner. We ordered our food (starters and mains) and some drinks (water and an appletizer). The waiter came down with our drinks and gave us some knives and forks. We sat there for over 55 minutes and there was no sign of the food. I then went up to the bar and asked how long the food would be. I was then told that the food order had went to the till at the bar and not the kitchen. We decided to leave as we had been there so long and we had been looking forward to the food that the goodness was gone out of it by then. They did not have the brains to realise something was wrong while we were sat there with no food as they looked down at us numerous times. As we left we were followed out the door by the waiter shouting we hadn’t paid for our drinks. Even tho the water was free and my partner hadn’t touched her drink as she was waiting to have it with her dinner. The service and staff are terrible! I would not recommend this place, there are other places local where you will be treated right. 0/5Edit. As I can’t reply to the comment I have to edit the postIt was most definitely your pub and it was the 14th of December this happened.
