Mid afternoon on an unseasonably cool May Thursday. A late lunch was needed-fortunately food was available,alongside an impressive range of cask beer.Friendly pub, with a good buzz.

Mid afternoon. Saw this in the GBG and headed for it after a brief trip into Bury St Eds. Worth it - good choice of ales and food. We had a late lunch in the garden and relaxed by the fountain in warm sunshine.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Cliff Quay - Sea Dog5.50ExcellentYummy.
Shortts Farm - Hunky Dory4.10ExcellentLight golden ale in top condition. I assume the brewery is correct - pump clip stated “Shortts Brewery Suffolk”.
