Real Ale is sold here.
Well off the beaten track in very rural countryside, a really traditional Suffolk free house, hard to find but well worth seeking out. Being run by former CAMRA local-POTY winners Jane & Mike Binyon (23 years experience). With knowledgeable staff to match the ever changing range of both cask and keg beers. Real ale focus is now on East Anglian breweries mostly within a 50 mile radius of the pub. Two pub beer festivals and the annual Eddyfest (August BH) are highlights in the pub events calendar. New Folk Festival starting 20th June 2020 plus the annual Cider Festival (in Oct).
The food is traditional and homemade with almost all dishes being gluten-free. Also two small holiday cottages and a campsite are within the grounds…
