11:40 A visit to take photographs for the next issue of Norfolk Nips CAMRA magazine. Had the pub to ourselves until just after 12 when it suddenly filled up with diners. The central bar area is a lovely little room to enjoy a beer.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adnams - Ghost Ship | 4.50 | | To my mind the best regular beer produced by Adnams. |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |

Busy Sunday lunchtime - very pleasant staff but a but a bit stretched. Service good to start with but slowed up rather. Welcoming wood burner. Good value menu and well prepared food.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adnams - Ghost Ship | 4.50 | | just right - I could have drunk this all day |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | | Good condition, full,and rounded (compared to the Wherry ) |
| Woodforde's - Wherry | 3.80 | | No problem with the condition of this beer and it is clearly popular with other drinkers. I am a big fan of Woodeforde beers - except this one - it seems lacking in flavour and body even compared to the slightly lower alcohol content Greene King IPA. |
