Cask Ale is sold here.
14 Whiting St, IP33 1NX
grid reference TL 853 640
owner/operator: Greene King
Traditional one bar local retaining many original features. Greene King's flagship pub with a wide range of beers (all from Westgate Brewery) including trial beers unavailable elsewhere.
Curiously, though the pub is the Masons Arms, the old sign says Mason Arms. Mistake or interesting story?
The building dates back to the early 16th century; the weatherboarding from the 19th.
Note that half pints of ale are priced more than half of the cost of a pint.
