Welcoming, cosy country pub. Great menu, well-cooked and very tasty meal. Beer well kept. Will definitely visit again.

Had a good winter warmer meal here on a very wet Saturday lunchtime. Good gamey menu with lots of casseroley type dishes, rather less good for any veggies you may have. Beer is spectacularly good - very well kept and excellent interesting selection of localish brews. Very welcoming feel with log fire and bright, clean and fresh feel to the building. If this was my local I'd be there every day so its lucky that it's not! Go out of your way to find this place - it's a bit special.

Well, my partner and I visited this pub on Sunday as it was tiddling down with rain and we fancied a treat and I have to say, I have not been there for over a year, what a pleasant surprise! A new chef has started there only a couple of days ago and has transformed the menu:
Starters ranged from �3-�5 and all home made
Main Courses along with specials �8-�11. with a really good selection to choose from including two veggie and how nice not to see veg Lasagne as being one of them.
Desserts where all home made too.
My partner had Duck Liver Pate with toast, I had asparagus soup, Beef Nog with dumplings and seasonal vegetables, I had tagliatelli verdi, desserts Apple crumble and ice-cream x 2 and the whole thing was yummy, I would definitely go back

We went here at the end of a long and eccentric visit to Southwold and other gems in late August 2006: we found it most welcoming, with a good selection of East Anglian ales, showing that there is life beyond Greene King, though where is the Tolly of yesteryear...
The food was good and well presented, though admittedly not everything was available, as it was fairly late in the evening.We'd go back-if we could find it again.

This pub has changed hands but it is still trading off being �Pub of the Year� several times but that was with the old landlord plus lady who did food then is not there now.
Plus points: -
You can book a table (you couldn�t before)
Food is nice (was better before!)
Seats outside � nice on hot day
Has been re decorated
Minus points: -
Food was better before (not same lady doing food now) it is nice but not as good as it was�!
Preferred option to help yourself to the vegetables e.g. have what you like rather than what they put on your plate
Very hot restaurant room no air to it and very small

We went there on Tuesday lunchtime, the first time I had been back since the change of landlord.
I found it perfectly acceptable. Landlord was reasonably welcoming, the beer was good, ploughmans OK (the ham excellant), and very pleasant to sit outside under the vines.

What a huge disappointment this pub was. We had been recommended to visit due to the guest ales, etc - and some of them were rather good, but they had run out of some, sadly. Aside from this, massive let down. Unfriendly atmosphere/unwelcoming to new visitors, and DO NOT have the ploughmans!! Wow - talk about tiny portions!!! Small triangle of cheese, with a very small piece of bread - and some token strips of lettuce. All for �5 - it must have cost them 50p to put together!! Nice profit margin but doesn't encourage people to return! Even when making a comment, the female waitress just said that is what they always serve! The bar area strongly advertises the Good Pub Guide listing and award win in 2002 - I would ask what has happened since then?? This is no award winner, very disappointing, best avoided. I will rate this a 1/10 purely because of the few good ales I had there, otherwise I would not rate it.
