The Beerhouse, Bury St Edmunds
Just made another visit to the Beerhouse - still call Ipswich Arms on this site! - what a choice of ever changing real ales (7). Not too busy last night, but could become v popular. Have found the pub on twitter @burybeerhouse. The landlord knows his beers and as you can see from the walls - over 350 beers sered since they opened in July 2010. Also Suffolk CAMRA pub of the month, but don't this put you off ! (LOL)

The Old Cannon Brewery, Bury St Edmunds
Went in again today (after a break) - owners looking for a tenant to run. Prices gone up and own beers (Best and Gunners Daughter) but 4 guests including Adnamas Bitter available. Every table had a number on and The Times eat for a fiver campaign now available. I do not know what has happended to the drinkers who used to frequent the place - With a number of new watering holes, good beer and little food, makes choice a lot easier on wherre to try numerous ales and bitters.
I shall look out for a change to the management and post when the time is right.

This pub has been re-named The Beerhouse and serves real ale a two lagers. Normally 6 - 7 ales on from throughout the UK! Well worth a visit.

The Fox and Goose Inn, Parracombe
What a little oasis of fun and quality. This establishment is going through a bit of refurbishment, but they need to do nothing with the beer or the food. A barman with character and a pub brimming with curios. . If eating you will need to book at peak times. The food all appears to come from the west country with much from their own garden.Well worth the detour off the main road

Having spotted that this is now the CAMRA Pub of The Year 2009, decided a walk and visit would surely be a grand Easter trip. Imagine my disappointment when even though the owner, who we met early in the morning claimed to have 6 Exmoor ales on draught, when we returned after a gruelling 6 mile walk to Woody Bay found a under staffed, poorly managed over rated hostelry. The queues for the bar was thirty people with two members of staff serving as if trained by British Rail. Most rooms in the Inn had Private on the front ( not very welcoming), the toilets were horrendous ( with queues as well) and waiting staff all hidden away in the kitchen and servery. Although someone did appear and shouted from a balcony to the rear garden - we don't serve food out here! Save yourself a great deal of disappontmtnet and give this one a miss until the next owner - who may get it right. They only get 1 on the rating because they were open.

Just managed to find this little gem on the site. what can I say....Extra ordinary location, pub and staff, jumble sale meets restaurant. Devonian hospitality mixed with Gloucestershire and London. Mention the Pigs Nose Inn within the beer community and those with standards always know of this 'pub'. The 'local' bands in the village hall next door ( part of the pub) also add a metropolitan edge to an excellent venue.

Benson Blakes Bar and Grill, Bury St Edmunds
For the real ale drinker there is nothing here. Usually a bad pint served too warm and because everyone seeems to drink lagers, no turnover of beer. Only one hand pump. Will give this place a miss in future.

Ye Olde One Bull, Bury St Edmunds
Had an excellent Sunday roast last week, woodfordes Wherry an exceptional pint. Staff attentive and in the right place - behind the bar! Becoming very popular on Friday and Saturday nights. Worth a visit when next in Bury St Edmunds.

The Old Cannon Brewery, Bury St Edmunds
The Old Cannon has re-opened after a sympathetic re-decoration. An ideal venue to try out the house brews, with Joe the Brewer often on hand to dispense beer and wisdom. Food prices have dropped a bit.

The Pigs Nose, East Prawle
Visited this little gem after a gap of 4 years. Thankfully nothing changed un-like alot of other pubs. No pretentions, just a proper pub with real people behind the bar and the clientelle. Defo worth a visit and the tripm to get there!
