15:00 Busy around the bar with one other couple in the other seating area. No cask beer but a board offered Real Ale in bottle. This list comprised Abbot, Old Speckled Hen, Broadside, Southwold Bitter and Old Peculier. None of these are, to my knowledge, bottle conditioned. I blame CAMRA for the confusion with their use of the Real Ale in Bottle tag, rather than the more descriptive bottle conditioned, used when the Campaign started. The uninformed make the assumption that any beer available in cask is still Real ale when bottled.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adnams - Broadside - Bottled | 6.40 | | Given the lack of cask beer I had a bottle of Broadside straight from the cellar. A superb beer. Completely different from the cask version. Nearly 2% stronger, with a deep red colour and rich flavour rather than sweet. A good sipping beer. |

With a central core dating from 1856 this pub in Beccles Road was extended forwards in 1928 with the rebuild date prominent over the former front door. The interior is spacious with two distinct seating areas and a covered patio. A former Landlord in the 1950s was a retired Admiral. Unusually the sign has a different design each side. No real ale.
