Oddfellows, Lowestoftback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
A Friday afternoon visit to this GBG listed boozer in a residential area at the top of the cliff overlooking the sea.
Fairly busy here, several walkers with their dogs in this dog friendly pub. 5 hand pumps, 4 ales on. I had a couple of pints of Green Jack's Pakefield Pride @ 3.8%.
In the bar area the walls are adorned with photos of old Pakefield and the surrounding coast. There is a restaurant area to the right of the small bar that's laid for diners, fish and local produce feature heavily on the menu.
With the weather being so mild several punters were sat out the front of the pub. Stayed for a couple of drinks before moving on to 2 other pubs locally.
The Odd as its known locally is a decent pub, with well kept ales and friendly staff and locals.

Same choice as the previous review plus Oakham JHB. A decent, reasonably priced menu makes me wish we had come in here to eat on Friday night. The fireplace and the archway between the two parts of the bar made it difficult to move around particularly when you are carrying drinks. Despite a polite excuse me some of the locals just will not move one inch to make room for you to pass. On our second visit we had two pints of two different beers. In both cases the first was quite warm and hazy and the second one was a clearer, cooler temperature. Not a great advertisement for a Good Beer Guide listed pub..

Great pub. Very busy but welcoming. Green Jack, Adnams and Woodfordes beers available on my visit. Probably the best pub in Pakefield.

Very friendly pub close to a lovely beach and cliff top walks. Adnams bitter always plus a green jack beer plus two others..First class food as well.Highly recommended.

An old pub which has been modernised but is still good. It is very smart and has lots of old photos from years ago. The ale is usually very good and usually they have 3. I've not tried the food so no comment. The guy behind the bar is a good bloke always up for a chat. It can get very busy in the evenings.
I like to go here on Saturday afternoons for a few beers and to watch Soccer Saturday on Sky Sports News. They will usually change the channel for you if you want them to.
