12:35 This pub has been on my list of ones to try for some time. Greene King owned but free of tie. Sadly, I was disappointed. The beer quality was far below my expectations.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Green Jack - Trawlerboys | 4.60 | | My first beer, Colchester Metropolis, was cloudy and when noticed by the Landlord changed at his instigation. Unfortunately this replacement was not much better. |
| Elgood's - Warrior | 5.50 | | Fresh on and served from the cellar as two beers had run out. No condition whatsoever. |
| Woodforde's - Wherry | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Abbeydale - Deception | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Humpty Dumpty - Porter | 5.40 | Not Tried | |
| Woodforde's - Once Bittern | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Wolf - Edith Cavell | 3.70 | Not Tried |

I arrived just a few minutes past noon on a Saturday, thinking the pub might be a little quiet – but it was not at all, with plenty of customers in. A notably friendly welcome from the barman, who, when he saw me eyeing the crisps selection, drew my attention to the pie and a pint for £4 offer, of which I took advantage.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Woodforde's - Once Bittern | 4.10 | | Amber-coloured, malty and fruity. |
| Wolf - Edith Cavell | 3.70 | | Golden, with some spicy, peppery hop tastes. |
| Woodforde's - Wherry | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Black Country - Fireside Bitter | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Nethergate (was Nethergate Growler for a while then name reverted) - Old Growler | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Milestone - Shine On | 4.00 | Not Tried |

The pub is found in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, IP33 3JU.
This pub lies in a residential street, about ten minutes walk from Bury town centre. Effectively all one bar, but split into two distinct areas. There is a quite spartan area in front of the bar and a more comfy, carpeted area to the side. CAMRA East Anglia Regional Pub of the Year for 2013.
We have visited this pub twice, seen 10 different beers and tried 4 of them.
