| I've been here quite a lot in winter, and I've sometimes found it a bit chilly. There are usually a few well drinkable real ales though, and the food can sometimes by very good. Local groups. e.g. the netball team use it as an RV, but it's often quiet. eddybeer - 5 Feb 2013 13:49 |
| This pub has connections to Charles Dickens, not only was he known to have visited this pub he also had Barkis the carter in Nicholas Nickelby depart from here.The reason Dickens camehere was due to the plough's proximity to Lowestoft which is about three miles to the South.As you may well imagine the plough makes an awful lot of the Dickens link, a sign outside proclaims the Barkis information and inside the walls are festooned with picture of Dickens characters and places( too numerous to list here). Mr.Micawber, Dotheboys Hall etc. The pub has a pool table , a well presented garden and a couple of real ales, one of which was woodforde's wherry. The downside of the pub is the intense coldness of the beer, I waited over twenty minutes for mine to warm up without any luck!Even though this pub is listed in the G.B.G. I could not recommend it to a real ale enthusiast, a Dickens enthusiast possibly,so my visit was not completely wasted. slerpy - 10 Aug 2009 19:24 |

| Exceptionally well kept, village pub. Quite large but still cosy on account of several different bars areas. Always got 3 or 3 real ales on. Restaurant is excellent. Typical main course �7.50 - �11.50 johnjory - 18 Jan 2007 23:47 |
