| Great place, nearly didn't stop as couln't see the hand pulls but my mate quickly pointed the massive kegs behind the bar! Beer excellent, don't be fooled by the outside, its very modern and clean inside but a good modern. loveleedshatebates - 3 Oct 2010 10:53 |
| Has a very Adnams feel to the pub - traditional feel with wooden floors, chunky wooden furniture. Tends to have 3-4 Adnams beers on offer and are usually well kept. Also serves good food. Has a walled in beer garden out the back. Rod_Hariga - 5 Jul 2008 21:16 |

| I guess this is Adnams flag ship pub in Ipswich. In fact I presume this is in Adnams opinion their perfect model pub. It is a pub that only stocks Adnams brewed ale. Bottles of Wine seem just as prominent in the bar area as beer. Pictures and artwork from a local artist featuring Southwold images and a fishing theme were displayed just above the bar area and were available to buy. All the tables are solid and large and are suitable for eating at. Quite a selection of food is available daily to order. A blackboard you can see from the bar area displays all the food choices available. Beams are all around the pub and some look more original than others. Apparently the pub dates back to 1653 and was extensively renovated in 1996. Four beers were available straight from the cask. Not from the wooden barrels that have the pump clips on but from the standard metal casks just behind. Adnams 'Bitter','May Day','Oyster' and 'Regatta' were available yesterday. I was quite pleased to see that Oyster Stout was available for £2.00 a pint. Isn't this only supposed to be available in February and March?. I was going to have a second but only a half, I soon changed my mind back to a pint when advised that it would be £1.40. Why no guest beers? All Adnams pubs have these available to order. It's still quite a nice pub but more for couples and diners. I don't imagine it is a regulars or community pub. The music was quite loud and did not seem to fit the image of the pub.
