The Duke of Edinburgh, Bacton

Visited while on holiday in Bacton. On the saturday lunchtime we were greeted by a barmaid who seemed to have a very bitter attitude towards visitors, very abrupt and not very friendly but we once we were seated we had a decent lunchtime meal and a decent pint of moorelands best.
Went back on the following friday evening and a different young lady who greeted us could not have been more pleasant, she was a pleasure to be served by, very happy and helpfull. A great meal (recommend the liver and bacon) and good prices and a nice couple of pints of "home" ale (The Duke Bitter) What a difference decent bar staff make. First visit 4/10 second visit 9/10

Lighthouse Inn, Walcott

Nice pub with friendly staff, nice drop of their "own" ale called.....lighthouse ale. Family friendly. Now....the food was "nice" and freshly made in house using local produce but it was way over priced which put us off going back again. 8 out of 10 for beer and staff but 5 out of 10 for overpriced food.

The Horse and Groom, Writtle

Went last evening with my wife and daughter and have nothing but praise for this pub. The sevice was excellent and friendly, The beer 1st class (Adnam's best bitter, Directors best and Wells Bombardier) and the food was excellent, good portions, pipng hot and very very tasty.
This was the second time I have been to this pub in 3 months and it was just as good the last time I went.
No complaints whatsoever.
