| What a lovely pub! I visited with my partner a few weeks ago and had a delicious meal - I had the lamb rack which was superb and my partner had fish and chips which was cooked perfectly. All the food miles are on the back of the menu (!) so you know that the food is local and fresh which is great. The drinks range is enourmous including Belgian beers and decent wines. My partner was particularly pleased that there were four local cask ales on. There seemed to be a lot of events taking place at the pub which were advertised on the back of the menu - I will be at the next farmers market. I would strongly reccommend a visit !

| Did I go to a different pub? It looks identical from the outside and it's also in Mount Bures, but there the comparisons with other commentators’ experiences stop. The Roast Lamb was a cheap cut of meat and pretty average, complimented by bland, overcooked vegetables. Decor is equally bland – there’s no personality to the place. The ales were superbly kept, though, and service cheerful enough but I can't say I'll be rushing back - the 9.6/10 rating is completely astonishing and gives a false impression, considering the number of wonderful pubs out there. If you're passing, skip the food, grab a beer and sit in the garden with the lovely views. Planner_21 - 18 Jul 2008 13:33 |
| I selected The Thatchers again yesterday to take my family to celebrate my Nan's 90th birthday. Thanks for reserving the best table in the pub which looks outwards to the marvellous view over the countryside. The table comfortably sat the six of us with enough space for plates and drinks. The food was all very good and as advertised on the w/site, selected from local suppliers where possible. The Adnams beer battered haddock looked fantastic and I understand was very tasty. My family also ordered from the specials monk fish and plaice dishes which were also very tasty. Three hand pumped local ales were available yesterday. Crouch Vale Brewers Gold, Adnams The Bitter and one of the ever name changing golden beers from Mighty Oak. The keg produced Meantime Stout is now a permanent fixture in the pub. This unfortunately removes one of the ever changing real ales they used to offer. The service as always was excellent again yesterday; nothing seemed to be too much trouble. My partner asked for an addition to her order and I think ordered at least 4 coffees as driving. None of this was greeted with anything less than helpfulness. I will definitely being visiting again soon, probably during the pubs beer festival next month (May 22nd - May 26th). Towards the end of our visit yesterday another couple who seemed to complain unnecessarily about the chips. When they left rather unfortunately the gentleman fell over in the car park. Even though they had previously complained the staff could not have moved quicker to help the unfortunate customer. Love_good_ale - 20 Apr 2008 16:39 |
| A welcome return to The Thatchers Arms again today. Excellent ales as usual. Good to hear that they ask which type of glass you like your ale served in (straight or handled). Tried the 'Roast Rib of 28 Day Hung Local Beef with Yorkshire Pudding, Real Gravy, Roast Potatoes & Fresh Seasonal Vegetables'. Very helpful and friendly staff served throughout the meal and even offered to deliver fresh drinks to the table. Whilst not the cheapest sunday lunch around a very nice meal and fantastic service.

| Excellent beer, super food, all fresh, cooked on the premises and sourced locally and really friendly staff. What more could you ask? Oh yes, and the dog is the best behaved you will meet this side of Ipswich! GandT - 16 Dec 2007 17:19 |
