Mid afternoon visit for a late lunch. We sat in the courtyard and enjoyed fresh fish and chips and Caister crab. Pleasant pub, fail quite at this time of week but a few hotel guests arriving. The nearby beach is unspoilt with a large, free car park.

10:40 First stop on a Heritage pub tour. We had arranged an early visit with the Landlord to enable us to take photographs for the CAMRA Heritage website so we had the bar to ourselves. We had coffee and a pint on the house for our trouble.

Website.

The pub is found in Dunwich, Suffolk, IP17 3DT.

Coastal hotel and pub in St James Street, in what remains of the once great port of Dunwich. The main building contains the dining room and accommodation whilst the bar is in a smaller building attached to the right hand side. The bar has a tiled floor and some built in seating, L shaped counter with plain boarding on the long side and interesting panelling on the short.The bar back is noteworthy. It is similar in style to a Victorian What-not with turned spindles supporting small shelves. In the centre there is a glazed hatch that presumably served drinks to waiting staff attending to other parts of the building in times gone by.

We have visited this pub 3 times, seen 8 different beers and tried 4 of them.
