| A decent pub. The landlady appears to be doing a reasonable job but need mosre customers. Regular live music (not all cover acts either), quizes and some good and interesting beer, including lots of bottled beer (a rare outlet for Schlenkerla rauchbier). Unfortunately, it's probably not busy enough to have as many beers as I suspect she'd like but hopefully this will change. Rod_Hariga - 7 Feb 2016 20:02 |
| Visited this pub last Sunday evening (6/2/11). Was after some food and didn't hold out too much hope, dispite the board outside advertising food. Went in and they were serving, and the food was surprisingly very good and well priced. The pub had two real ales on offer (Phoenix �2.60 and Morland bitter �2.10) and both were good beers. The owners say that they will be promoting more local beers soon. This is the first time in many years that this pub has served real ales(know this as it is a local) and is well worth a visit to show your support. The staff were welcoming and friendly. Only small criticism was that the pub was a little too brightly lit for my liking. blkstar14 - 11 Feb 2011 21:58 |
| Visited this pub today for the first time in 4 or 5 years. At the time of my last visit it was an Adnams pub so I was curious to see how it had changed since being sold off. On the plus side, the welcome was friendly enough and the one real ale on offer, Adnams bitter, was very drinkable. Unfortunately there wasn't much else positive to say about it. The row of hand pumps which used to dispense a range of Adnams beers are now disused, and coming in through the front doors all you see is a bank of white, disused handpumps- you have to go round to the side of the bar to discover there's even one real ale on offer. Everything else looks neglected- there's no evidence that anything has been done towards maintaining the pub since my last visit. The 'events' and 'coming soon' blackboards over the bar are all blank. The decor looks dull and grubby. At one o'clock Sunday lunchtime there were only half a dozen other customers. Sunday lunch was on offer but just three people were eating this. All in all this is a very tired pub which needs serious work doing on it if it's to survive the current downturn. edchambers - 8 Mar 2009 21:43 |
| Use to live just up the road from this pub, it was a nice little local with good beer and OK food. Now I hear it's to be sold off by Adnams along with most of their other pubs in this part of Suffolk. Very depressing that they are selling their pubs down the river, espcially as so many other pubs around here (Water Lily, Horse and Groom, County of Suffolk...) are closed or under threat. Adnams seem to have embarked on a closure/sell-off programme which will end with their brewing operations taken over by Greene King. Oh well, like most other people I mostly drink at home these days. edchambers - 10 Nov 2007 22:22 |
