The Dolphin Inn, Thorpeness
Formally known as the Crown Inn, the original building used to be attached to six cottages known as West Terrace. The inn was renamed when the cottages were demolished and the building extended with bedrooms to become the Dolphin Inn. Parts of the village, then known as Aldringham-cum-Thorpe, date back to Tudor times, but in 1910 the village was renamed Thorpeness when landowner, Stuart Ogilvie, began realising his plan to create a unique seaside holiday village on the site.
The Dolphin Inn was consumed by fire in September 1995 and was rebuilt and re-opened in 1998.
David took over the running of The Dolphin in 2007 and together with his lovely daughter Kerry, immediately made an impact, ensuring The Dolphin became an important part of the community. With the arrival of Chris as Head Chef, they pride themselves on friendly service, good food using local produce and an extensive choice of beverages.

Stayed just down the road from this pub whilst on holiday. Am pleased we’d reserved a table, as on the Friday night it was busy. Great choice of food and all very tasty.
Dogs are welcomed inside and out and water is provided.
