| What a great experience the low house is, been a pub/inn for nearly 500 years and you can see why. Beer is straight form the tap room with barrells all around there is no bar so like it should be. Food OK but please go when they have the beer festival in August 30 plus beers cant wait. andyw1260 - 29 Nov 2011 17:07 |
| A Suffolk gem and one of my favourites. Love the different rooms with settles and scrubbed tables. The tap room is brilliant. Always good for music, song and morris dancing. Keep up the good work Bob. It's great living in the past. bernardduffield - 14 Jul 2011 16:19 |
| A truly wonderful example of what an English pub can be. Unique in some ways but this just works. In the winter you can sit in a large settle by the fire, whilst in the summer the vast beer garden gives you plenty of sun and shade, and play space for children. Lenzar - 30 Jun 2011 09:57 |
| Late write up from 29/09/08 visit (looking back through diary). Looking across the stream from the Church yard this 15th century pub looks the part with it's steep thatched roof. Open the door and to say you step back in time would be an understatement, you look over the top of high backed settles surrounding the fire. Follow the path around the settle over well worn brick and flag floors to find two small rooms off to the right, plain but still original, looking straight on passed an antique varnished hobit-like set of drawers and cupboards and a meatsafe you see the rows of barrels from which the beer is served, no bar in this pub. Around the settles to the left, through a small cronky doorway, leads you to the dining area which although more modern with a different atmosphere is furnished with sturdy farmhouse tables, high backed pews and photos of the pub and village over a Victorian fireplace and a cronky bell that rings a brass bell in the first room. With a range of Adnams ales and excellent tasty food, this is an historic gem for those searchers of such. Unfortunately though we had just missed a beer festival in the garden the week before.

| This pub has more character than virtually any other I've been to recently. It's a old pub with seperate drinking areas and a cellar room that doubles as the bar at the back of the pub. It also has a large beer garden out the back. Generally 6-8 ales on from the Adnams range all gravity feed in the cellar room. Rod_Hariga - 14 Feb 2011 22:23 |
