The Kings Head (Low House), Laxfield
A brief update to a time-warp - no Tim Taylor's now - I think Adnams stopped it throughout their estate as it was denting their own sales too much. Curry night at The Low on Tuesdays, other nationalities once a month - eg French two nights, Hungarian, Spanish, Italian, always sold out.
The other pub has reopened - beer good, can go for one before 6pm when Low House opens, but clientele generally of the baseball cap and lager persuasion.

The Royal Oak Inn, Laxfield
Now open, offering Wherry, Adnams and various lagers. Food good apparently. Landlord temporary, says rumour - well known local pub revivalist, famous for fish and chips (Fridays), owners hoping to get something on the books so the pub will sell. This is rumour, please note, but it is definitely open and the beer is good.
