The Rose and Portcullis, Butleigh

Another visit to Rose & Portcullis almost 2 years since the last. Busy friday evening and the place is heaving. Absolutely rammed with cross section of eaters, drinkers, families and others. Garden benches all full up with people drinking. Five real ales on offer - they've had over 200 different beers since they opened in october 2011. Well worth a visit.

The Rose and Portcullis, Butleigh

Returned after an absence of more than 2 years. The place has been transformed! All the carpets stripped out, the horrible thatched 'beach bar' roof been removed and a fresh coat of paint applied to the walls. It has just been taken over by a chap who was involved with both the Halfway House at Pitney and The Red Lion at Babcary. At the time of writing he has been there for two weeks and had 10 different ales in that time. Definately on the up !

The Seymour Arms, Witham Friary

A marvellous unspoilt example of a rural Alehouse. I've been told that the family of the present landlord might not continue after he has retired - that would be a terrible shame. Well worth a visit.
