| Typical of a genuine old fashioned pub, this shows they are still about and going strong. Good beer and Food with friendly people what more can you want. andyw1260 - 27 Nov 2011 14:59 |
| A wonderful, unpretentious, old fashioned pub. At mid-day it was nicely busy with a great atmosphere created by the drinkers alone -thankfully with no machines or music. Lots of interesting woodbridge memorabilia and artefacts; If would have been nice has the open fire been lit, but that is only a small point. The range of ale was excellent with Wherry, Spitfire, Adnams Bitter, London Pride & Youngs Bitter all available to spoil the drinker rotten. I will definately be making a return visit. dragonforce - 30 Jan 2010 14:00 |
| In reply to Biggles, in fact I have tried the Sekforde Tap! Had three pints and (surprise, surprise) one was excellent, the other two were OK but far from prime condition. Having only visited it once will wait until I have made at least one or two more visits before posting comment! Harbottle - 18 Jul 2009 10:48 |
| I know where you're coming from, Harbottle, but the Mariner is a beer-drinkers pub and there are never more than 5 ales on tap, which it can easily turn over. They do take some pride in keeping them well. If you want to see a pub that has far more beers than it can possibly serve in decent condition, you should try the Sekforde Tap further up the road!

| First of all let's dismiss this 'grumpy' business! I have visited on several occasions and always found the staff and clientele to be pleasant and friendly. (How many 'grumpy' landlords keep a stock of biscuits behind the bar for visiting pooches?) Another of Woodbridge's wonderful character pubs, what is not immediately evident from the front is the quiet, secluded garden area to the rear. I would have liked to rate this pub higher, but unfortunately it has fallen prey to the 'more is better' mantra in offering at least five real ales. The result being that the beer, whilst perfectly drinkable, tends not to be in tip-top condition. Pubs in small towns and villages rarely have the turnover required to keep five or more ales in good condition. Overall, though, this pub is well worth a visit. Harbottle - 27 Jun 2009 11:18 |
