Good Pub Guide Recommended

New licensees for traditionally furnished village pub with Adnams beers and changing bar food
Friendly new licensees have taken over this 16th-c pub and have opened up letting bedrooms. The traditional low-beamed lounge bar has an old-fashioned settle curving around a couple of venerable stripped tables on the chequerboard tiled floor, a winter open fire and a mix of pubby tables and chairs; there's also a small snug. The two dining rooms have open fireplaces and are furnished with settles and scrubbed pine tables. Adnams Bitter, Broadside and Explorer on handpump with seasonal beers tapped from the cask, 14 wines by the glass, local cider, good coffee and home-made soft drinks. Outside are two terraces (one for the morning and a suntrap evening one), both with pretty hanging baskets and seats under large parasols.

Good Pub Guide Food

Using some home-grown vegetables, the food now includes lunchtime sandwiches pork and chicken liver pâté with home-made red onion marmalade, asparagus, leek and blue cheese tart, local sausages and mash, gammon steak with a bantam egg, and sole with jersey royals and courgettes.

Bar food times: 12 - 3, 6 (7 sun) - 9

We had a meal and a couple of drinks there last night. The beer was cloudy - but it was changed when I complained for a slightly less cloudy pint of Southwold bitter. The food was only adequate. The bangers with the mash were pale and not well cooked: the salad starter was supposed to be stilton and walnut but I couldn't find the walnuts and at £6.50 it was extremely small and very poor value. I did point this out to the manager but he just shrugged his shoulders. I shall not go back again. I tried to call today to speak to the manager but after 30 minutes of trying to get the phone answered I gave up.
