The Crown and Castle in Orford, Suffolk, has received two AA awards following a recent inspection. Head chef Jake Lawrence and his team have been awarded two rosettes for their culinary excellence, while the 21-bedoom property has received a much sought-after five-star restaurant with rooms classification.

The AA awards follow on from The Crown and Castle’s recent success in winning the ‘East of England Small Hotel of the Year Gold Tourism Award 2022–23’.

Delighted with the awards, Jake Lawrence said: “Throughout my career, rosettes have always signified a mark of quality. Our decision to become part of the scheme and the result are something I am hugely proud of. These two rosettes are particularly special as the review was undertaken with a menu, food style, and quality standard crafted over many years, but our kitchen never rests. We’re considering this year the start of our culinary award journey, and we have lofty ambitions for the future.”
