Busy but not heaving, haven't been here for 20 years or so. Friendly with a welcoming atmosphere. Customers ranged from about 18 to 80 years.

| Adnams - Southwold Bitter | 3.70 |  | This came on while we were drinking our first pint so I felt it was worth trying. WOW, that perfect Adnams taste, probably the best pint I've had outside of Southwold. Perfect condition, some citrus with a good malt hop balance, could have had several of these. |
| Adnams - Extra | 4.30 | | Not tried this before, very nice malty with good hop finish, rich without cloying. |
