Late afternoon into early evening, sitting at one of the outside benches discussing the emergence this-evening of Cockchafers and trying to remember the last time we had seen any of these once-familiar beetles.

I’m staying in Felixstowe Ferry for the weekend and we actually manage two visits here today, eating lunch in the garden and dinner in the restaurant area.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adnams - Southwold Bitter | 3.70 | | A pretty decent brown Bitter. |
| Adnams - Ghost Ship | 4.50 |  | Not at its best, with rather dull flavours. I’m not surprised to note that the barrel is empty shortly after I buy my pint. |

I’m staying for the weekend with friends in Felixstowe Ferry. They live next door to this lovely old pub, so we manage two visits today. First sitting outside in the mid-afternoon, and then in mid-evening, honoured to sit at the ‘locals table’. Shame to see the Victoria Inn standing closed and forlorn a hundred yards away.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adnams - Ghost Ship | 4.50 | | Tasty beer in fine form. |
| Timothy Taylor - Landlord | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| Woodforde's - Wherry | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Adnams - Southwold Bitter | 3.70 | Not Tried |

The pub is found in Felixstowe Ferry, Suffolk, IP11 9RZ.
A fine old pub, in parts dating from the 15th century, tucked behind the sea wall and close to the ferry. Several low-ceilinged drinking areas at various levels. Wooden beams, stone-flagged floor and a very high bar counter in the centre bar. Some sheltered outside tables at the front and picnic tables as a spill-over area on the village green. Function room at rear in modern extension. A Tolly Cobbold pub in its day.
We have visited this pub 3 times, seen 6 different beers and tried 3 of them.
