Locals pub set in the Suffolk countryside. It's a fairly modern-looking interior. But this pub is clearly at the heart of the community. 4 ales were being dispensed - Greene King Abbot, Adnams Bitter & Broadside & Lacons Encore. International football was being shown on the TV and there is a darts board in one corner. There's an undercover smoking area outside to the side.

Very friendly pub - landlord, landlady and customers. Moreover the beer was excellent (several real ales all the ones we tried were great) Good range of food at lunchtime. Visited Fri 17th June.

First impressions count - locals blocking the bar and felt I was being ignored. A shame because I can see the pub has a lot going for it (decent beer range) and will try again.

Fantastic range of well kept beers: Jive Bunny, Seafarers, Spring Zing, Bad Egg, Red McGreggor, Adnams Best & Abbot Reserve on my Wednesday night visit. Also had a few good malt whiskies. The beer was good and the staff were friendly and helpful. Appears to do food and would imagine it to be quite good but that's purely guess work. Might have to pay a visit for a meal at some stage.

Wow what an improvement��Popped in after an afternoon cycling for a quick pint, ended up sampling 5 jars of beautifully kept ales (including two I have never sampled before).
The place has undergone a transformation by the new family from Hertfordshire with new chairs and outdoor seating, an excellent pub menu, outstanding beers and both doors now open�.though of course as a Suffolk tradition you should always exit the same door you entered��If I remembered on this occasion well done me, however pushing the bike home was a chore for the now wobbly bob!
One final note a Beer festival is planned for the end of July, Hurrah..!!

Not uncommon for country pubs to still close in the afternoon for a few hours.
Interesting to see what happens with this place.

Attempted to visit this Pub a few weeks back, all manner of posters announcing various bands and events outside, but nothing to say that it only opens now and then? apparently its up for sale but this is unconfirmed so watch this space as they say.

Family were planning a visit to the village of Wissett - family name. I'd read on the village newsletter online that the pub wanted people to let them know why no one was using the pub. Well maybe I can enlighten them. A group of 8 of us arrived at about 4pm, after a long long journey well ready for a pint to find the pub closed til 6.30. We had phoned the day before we arrived and booked a meal for the evening of our arrival, got to the pub just after 7.30 to be told there was no food cos the electricity was off - and infact the pub would close once the natural light was gone. We ended up travelling into Halesworth to a luvly pub and eating there. The beer wasnt the best but the loo was clean and the bar itself was clean and welcoming - just the staff that werent. What pub doesnt stay open during the day to catch passing trade in season in the countryside?
