Mid afternoon busy inside with most seats taken, many of us sat outside and enjoy the rural setting on a warm summer's day.

Saturday evening - a group of history re-enactors in one bar - some in costume. Eclectic decor. Strange use of the space with a single dining table in each of the other two bars areas. I quite like it.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mad Cat - Oatrageous Green Hop Oat Pale Ale | 3.90 | | (Probably not the green hop variety of Outageous) - lively hoppy brew. |
| Mad Cat - Platinum Blonde (previously Meaney's Platinum Blonde Ale) | 4.20 | | Rather flat. |

My first visit to this pub since it re-opened, it used to be food orientated but is now very much a pub with food. I enjoyed playing the vintage pin ball machine which operates on 1/= or the large 5p coins, it will also take florins. There is a bar billiards table and devil among the taylors for pub games enthusiasts. Very much a different type of place to what it used to be.

This was a lovely day for a tour of isolated rural pubs. Staff were friendly and helpful, and I really enjoyed it in here.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adnams - Southwold Bitter | 3.70 | | Full of flavour, one of the best pints of Adnams that I have had for some time. The legendary seaweed flavour was here to enjoy to the full. |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| St Austell - Tribute | 4.20 | Not Tried |

First time I've been here although I did once use their car park to turn round in. Nice pub. Big on French food which explained the enticing smell of muscles throughout the pub.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Woodforde's - Wherry | 3.80 | | Eggy-farty aroma. Tasted a bit thin; bit like dilute orangeade. |
| Adnams - Southwold Bitter | 3.70 | Not Tried |
