Parked outside at 10 on a Saturday morning in keen anticipation of returning from our walk to enjoy a fine pub lunch with log fire, beams and good ale. Regretably, all we got was a motorway cafe with service and food to match. We should have realised when the car park was empty at prime time! No doubt thronged in the summer with less discerning folk prepared to wait for and eat such fayre but what a criminal waste of such a building in such a setting.

My sort of pub - old and unpretentious, beamed, open fire, good ale and wholesome, reasonably priced food quick, friendly service. Try the beef sandwich on wholemeal. If I am anywhere near Exning at noon I'm in there!

The Three Blackbirds, Woodditton
Sadly, this establishment has gone the way of many other similar village hostelries - the blackbirds have flown and Pubmaster are saving a few quid...........Its a gonner.

Having escaped from the dreadful Marquis of Granby at nearby Stetchworth we ventured into The Boot and ordered a much needed round of drinks and two hot beef sandwiches. Problem: total cash in hand of seven quid for a bill of ten! No problem declared the admirable Mr McConnell, mine host - pay me when you nexrt come in! Typical of this fine unpretentious village pub with excellent real ales, superb hot beef baps and a very trusting and understanding LL.

The Sorrel Horse, Shottisham
A delightful little village pub - unpretentious and welcoming with the incumbents genuinely (self) interested in providing good value food and drink for their customers. The beer (Woodfordes Wherry or Adnams Bitter on gravity) was heaven (the first drop to score 5/5 for me this year) and the Suffolk Ham on wholemeal was perfect.
I was just a walker en route but we all need to support such establishments as they are what a good village pub is all about.
