The Brackenrigg Inn, Watermillock
Excellent pub. I was staying at the rather upmarket Leeming House Hotel further down the road but felt the need to escape to the simpler joys of a proper lakeland pub. Enjoyed a few excellent pints of Black Sheep and had a great plate of fish and chips while watching the World Cup with the locals. The service was friendly and obliging. Next time I'm up here I may even book a room.

The obese lump running this 'pub' has been giving it large on tv and in the media about "proper pub food". His advice would carry more weight if he ran a "proper pub". This place is a restaurant that will also serve you a pint with your meal. I have no problem with gastro-pubs - in fact round my way I prefer them - you can call them bistros or whatever but it's misleading to call them "pubs".

Has been closed lately, but I understand has recently been taken over by new landlord who is busy refurbishing for the summer season. Hope they don't refurbish too keenly - there are too many look-a-like gastro-pubs spreading through East Anglia, more interested in winning Michelin stars than being good atmospheric drinkers' haunts.

We went to this pub a few years ago and never went there. Having heard it had been take over in Nov 09 and had a completely refurbished Landlord and Landlady, we thought we would try again. The wine was brilliant, all home brewed plus the crisps selection was outstanding, I cannot think of another pub.
On tap was Green King IPA which is changed every month. There is a car park around the back of the pub and also a nice broken glass area for kids. The car park was very busy with doggers when we arrived so it would be worth booking in advance, call first.
We cannot recommend this pub or new Landlord and Landlady for what they have achieved, well done! Service was a little slow but it is to be expected.

Can't believe the posters on here saying this was once a "great pub". It was always a terrible lager boys gaff. I used it reluctantly because it was the nearest place to the college across the road. Will not be missed...

Have never been in here and now seem unlikely to as I just heard it's lost it's licence and has been closed down by magistrates for not being run properly.
Another one bites the dust...

This pub has now closed and is - if the local press are to be believed - due to be turned into a mosque.

What a little gem. Almost stumbled upon this pub in the winding and hilly lanes of where Loughton becomes the Epping Forest. If you didn't know you might be in Cornwall or Devon. Lovely old-fashioned look and feel to the building - classic Essex weatherboarding - and a warm and cosy atmosphere inside - all nooks and crannies and dark wood. Actually it was full to bursting, such is it's obvious popularity. Sunday lunch was excellent - good quality food and generous servings. Beer was Adnams and was first class. On a summer's evening the views across London must be magnificent. the only drawback I could see about this place was posssibly the lack of parking. But highly recommended and will definitely be back.

First rate little village pub. Get there early to get a seat (or a parking spot for that matter): this place is really drawing them in at the moment. Good selection of cask beers, friendly efficient service. The food looks as though it might be good too.

They really, really don't want to be a pub anymore. Ran out of beer the other night. Seriously, all they had left was some cider.
The interior has taken on something of gloomy unwelcoming atmosphere. The seats outside the pub are there one day and not the next, then back again. Prices drift upwards. The staff don't seem to have a clear idea about what they're doing - under orders from head office and nervous about the occasional visit from Marco.
Shame a young energetic couple didn't buy this and run it properly in the tradition which Roy and Anne established. As it is it has lost it's way as a pub without establishing itself as anything other than a cynical outpost of a 'high end' food chain.

Called in on a friday night and the place was packed. Really lively atmosphere, nice mixed crowd, plenty of bar staff and good service. My pint of Adnams tasted a bit sour so I switched to Wherry which was excellent. This is a great little pub - in the middle of nowhere, Hawkedon more a hamlet than a village - but v. atmospheric and well worth a visit.

Well, they�ve invested a bit of money which the building badly needed. But they�re also doing their level best to turn it from an inn with good food into a restaurant plain and simple. Although they still serve drinkers, prices have shot up and lager and Adnams are no longer on the menu.
The pictures all over the walls look interesting - originals by JAK and David Hughes - even though on closer inspection most feature Marco himself (you even get a photo of him to take home at the end of your meal). And the hide tableclothes may or may not be Marco's old leather trousers from the eighties. But a quick look at the websites of his other pubs suggest he must have bought the decor by the pallet load - everywhere the same.
Some of the old staff I gather are becoming quite demoralised. The new staff are friendly & eager, if a tad nervous and awkward. I sense a disparity between how they�re being instructed by head office and what they�re finding is the reality of Lavenham.
For what it�s worth the Timothy Taylor Landlord was fine and the potted shrimp absolutely delicious. But there is a feeling here of a concept being forced onto something that it doesn�t quite fit.

From The Morning Advertiser:
"The Maypole Group, the under fire operator of five rural inns, is in discussions about appointing an administrator � after its bank called in its loans.
The company, which yesterday suspended it shares from trading, revealed last night that Clydesdale bank had demanded the immediate repayment of its loans.
It said: �Maypole Group announces that discussions regarding a possible re-branding initiative referred to in the company's interim results announcement have failed to reach a conclusion and that Clydesdale Bank, bankers to the company and its subsidiaries has today demanded repayment of its loans to the group.�
The Maypole group was born in November 2003. It operates the Lifeboat and Old Coach House, Thornham, Norfolk; the Angel Hotel, Lavenham, Suffolk; Wayford Bridge Inn, Stalham, Norfolk; the Pear Tree Inn, Whitley, Wiltshire; and the Bridge Inn, Norwich.
It underwent a refinancing exercise last year with the Clydesdale."
Rumour is that the favourites to buy up the chain are the Marco Pierre White group.
If so, could be bad news for the regulars who gather to drink here if it follows the model of one of his other 'pubs':
"In January 2009 it was reported that White was to charge �5 for a pint of real ale at the venue, making the Yew Tree "one of the most expensive places to drink British real ale in the country". White was quoted saying "Most pubs undercharge. You're not just paying for beer, you're paying for the place you drink it in and the people who serve it." (from Wikipedia).

This place has been in a state of flux recently. The Maypole Group have gone up in the air (why do these Pub groups overstretch themselves?) and everyone nervously awaits the next buyer. Word around the bar has it that it will be the Marco Pierre White group.

Good drop of beer and friendly bar staff. The food looks good as well and I will be back to try it very soon. This place was a bit forlorn for a long time but the new management have managed to give it a thorough overhaul without losing any of it's charm. One to watch...

Hmmm... three 'rave' reviews below by people who have not been moved to review any other pubs. Draw your own conclusions.
I'll reserve judgement until I've been in myself but from what I've been told, there's disappointment in store...

Ye Olde One Bull, Bury St Edmunds
Disappointed that the Adnams was from a keg rather than a cask. The CO2 seems to give it that creamy head and tastelessness that you associate with John Smiths style beers.
The pub itself is pleasant enough in a kind of hotel bar kind of way - lots of sofas and mirrors. I will pop back again some time but will be more careful in my choice of drink.
8 Aug 2010 15:51
Re-opened last year after an expensive makeover with a new image as a fashionable wine-bar style venue. Sadly, something didn't work and it now stands forlornly all closed up... Shame.
6 Apr 2010 19:53
Not a pub for people over the age of... well, 18 really.
But closed now for the foreseeable future as the owners try to find someone gullible enough to sink their life savings/redundancy money etc etc....
10 Mar 2010 11:36
It hasn't looked as good as the photo for a very long time. And it looks unlikely that it ever will again - all boarded up now. Another one bites the dust...
10 Mar 2010 11:33
This place has improved greatly from a couple of years ago. The back bar is probably the best place in Melford for a drink at the moment and grows more popular all the time. Always a good guest ale. Service friendly and attentive. Lots of comfy armchairs and a wonderful roaring log fire. No complaints.
15 Feb 2010 10:58
Food atrocious!
Ate upstairs in the carvery recently. Too be honest, don't expect too much of most Central London pubs. But the Albert looks like a nice old fashioned Victorian pub. The staff are friendly enough, if a bit amateurish and bumbling.
But the food... oh dear. The joint of topside beef was grey and dry; the pork had what looked like a layer of crackling but on closer inspection was a piece of rubber. The yorkshire puddings were partly burnt and dry and broke into powdery crumbs as you attempted to eat them. The carrots weren't al dente - just uncooked and maybe held under the hot tap for a few moments. Nothing was edible - it really was that bad. I almost felt sorry for the staff, jolly and welcoming enough, but the place is hopelessly mismanaged and incompetent.
Truly dreadful food experience. God help the tourists....
15 Feb 2010 10:41
...Or the Compasses at Stansfield perhaps.
I'm looking forward to visiting the White Horse as I very much enjoyed the Beehive at Horringer. But disappointed to read that drinkers are not encouraged. Sometimes you just want a pint and a bag o' nuts...
31 Jan 2010 11:56
Attractive pub in a nice setting. Would be even more spectacular if they removed the hedge at the back - miles of rolling unspoilt suffolk farm land. The only caveat is that the drinks seem phenomenally expensive.
19 Aug 2009 08:54
Slightly strange pub. Since it's 'revamp' a couple of years ago the interior is very dark and verging on the atmosphere of a nightclub which is incongruous given it's setting in such a picturesque village. It does seem more geared up for food than for lingering over a pint. But worth a trip in summer when you can sit outside and may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Terry Waite who can sometimes be seen chained to his fence nearby...

The Butt and Oyster, Chelmondiston
This is definitely worth a trip to. The pub is at the very edge of the river - in fact at high tide the water is just below the windows - it has bags of atmosphere and was once the favourite of the late cartoonist Giles. A few years ago it boasted one of those "Rudest Landlord" types who ran a very tight ship and could always be relied on to liven up the quietest lunchtime with his zero-tolerance policies. Since then, it's fallen into the hands of a pub company and predictably has lost much of it's old edge (new toilets and a ramp for the disabled etc). Beer is generally good, food can be variable. As in most 'tourist' pubs, the service is at best indifferent. Nonetheless the location makes it worth seeing. Moody and atmospheric inside in winter. Lovely to sit outside in summer. As 'tommy' below says, take a walk along the path and enjoy the shanty town of old houseboats.
13 Feb 2009 09:18
Having said that... been popping in here recently now that Autumn has arrived and it has perked up a bit. Well, the bar area anyway. Nice roaring fire. Try to avoid Greene King IPA, but they've recently been selling St Austell's Tribune which is very flavorsome. The place certainly has a little more life about it... Will keep tabs...
15 Nov 2008 08:48
The only criticism I have of this pub is the service. It does verge on the gormless at times. You can wait for ten minutes at the bar without acknowledgement while a vacant looking young person is dithering about showing someone a menu. The staff really need to be trained to be a little more attentive and lively. Then the pub would be superb...
1 Jul 2008 16:51
So far so good. Still the best pub in the vicinity - by a country mile. The location on Market Square is quite magickal. The staff are as friendly and attentive as ever, the beer (Adnams) superbly kept and the food very reliable. Even the customers are an interesting mix.
30 Mar 2008 22:40
The Bull really should be the flagship pub/hotel of the village. It's a fabulous and famous old building and is well worth dropping into if only to have a little nose around all the nooks and crannies. Unfortunately as a pub, restaurant or hotel it falls woefully short of the mark. For too long now it's simply been yet another managed branch of a chain network (Trust House Forte, Green King, god knows who's got it now). The place always seems under-manned and staffed by disappointed people who would sooner be doing something else somewhere else. There is absolutely no feeling of stewardship here. Just a venue going through the motions - it relies heavily on catering for wedding parties at the weekends. So it makes it's money without worrying whether any of the customers will come back. The locals by and large avoid it. Hate to be so negative because it is a beautiful building and something of a landmark, but it is so complacently run and should do so much better. I doubt this will happen unless it falls into private hands.
30 Mar 2008 22:29
The best pub in Melford at the moment (which is not necessarily saying a lot as most leave much to be desired). However, The Hare is a good old-fashioned well-run locals' local. It's busy all the time and the pub-grub is popular. The beer is Greene King (if only it were Adnams) but is well kept. Atmosphere friendly and bustling.
30 Mar 2008 22:14
The Nightingale is an okay pub, but there is a concerted effort to post rave reviews on here. All reviews below should be read in this light.
29 Mar 2008 12:21
This is at best a very average pub. Food mediocre and service brusque and impersonal. The 'rave' reviews below must be written by the staff and their friends because they bear little resemblance to the reality...
23 Feb 2008 09:11
The unfortunate news is that The Angel changed hands a couple of weeks ago. At the moment it feels a bit like a skipper-less boat although so far the staff and the menu have remained the same. But we're all holding our breath at the moment waiting for the first tweakings. The new owners (a small hotel chain, I believe) would do well to remember the wise old adage: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it..."
We'll see...
22 Aug 2007 21:24
This pub is remarkable for it's wonderfully old-fashioned interior. A rambling old inn full of seperate rooms, nooks and cranneys, much it wood-panelled. The beer, in my experience, is generally good - a reasonably wide range of guest ales etc. The food is adventurous gastro-pub fare - not necessarily a bad thing. The staff are all quite young and varying in experience. This is my only real criticism - that the service often appears to be muddly and chaotic though mostly well-meaning. The place is generally busy, full of middle-class families enjoying their pub-grub.
Worth checking out if in the area.
2 Jan 2007 18:28
A great little "local", friendly, grown-up. It's a bit like the 'Queen Vic' in "Eastenders" - and there are not many pubs in East london that actually are like that...
12 Dec 2006 22:33
Delightful, cosy old inn. Has suffered a bit in comparison with the Crown opposite, but still worth a try. Best in the winter when you can sink into a comfy armchair in front of a blazing log fire. Food not bad.
5 Dec 2006 20:43
Fantastic riverside location. Miles off the beaten track. Food and beer good too.
5 Dec 2006 20:41
Large stylish gastro-pub. Very good food, great beer and wine, excellent atmosphere. Gets very busy - tables on a first come first served basis.

This has to be one of the best locations of any pub. You'll need to pay close attention to the map: it's at the very end of a lane that goes nowhere else but to a pub on the edge of the river Deben. There's nothing else there apart from great views of the marshes and the boats moored in the estuary. The pub itself is full of character and serves good food and beer. People who've known about it for years (and kept quiet) say it's been spoilt in recent years by the influx of the braying 4x4 crowd. But I still think it's well worth a look...
21 Nov 2006 20:49
This pub is slightly problematic. It is in a great location and the interior is rambling and has bags of character and visual appeal. But I've eaten here on numerous times and have always found the food disappointing and overpriced. And, as has been pointed out below, if you're not lucky you'll find yourself seated not in one of the innumerable cosy nooks and crannys but out in the canteen-style conservatory.
21 Nov 2006 20:40
Superb little pub. Lovely atmosphere, good beer and food. The Steak & Kidney pudding was excellent.
21 Nov 2006 20:35
When we visited, it was crowded and smoky with locals watching a football match. Our sunday roasts were mediocre - the standard Brake Bros style pub grub. Service was cheerful if slightly incompetent.
20 Nov 2006 17:01
I've only drunk here. Sat outside one evening and had a few pints of decent ale and watched the car park fill up with expensive cars disgorging people wearing their best outfits. It's a nice spot and I'd definitely come back again to have something to eat. Michael Winner likes it apparently.

The Hare and Hounds, Old Warden
I've only popped in here for a drink, but I was impressed enough to want to come back at some point for a meal. Very attractive pub. Beer was good, service friendly. Looks like a good location.
20 Nov 2006 16:47
Characterless village local. No atmosphere. Big screen TV. Lots of Lager drinkers. Nothing here that I look for in a pub, I'm afraid.
20 Nov 2006 16:43
Yes, this pub has a very good and deserved reputation. Full of cosy old world charm, the beer and food are generally excellent. It's probably a good idea to book a table at weekends. It draws people from far and wide and gets very busy.
20 Nov 2006 16:37
It's true - it is famous as a restaurant, but nonetheless it functions quite adequately as a village pub too: great atmosphere - don't know how genuine all the fittings are but they look ancient - great beer, good friendly service. And I hear the food isn't too bad either. PS: the other place in the village, The Pheasant, is worth a visit as well, but purely on the basis of seeing how hotels in Britain USED to be run (eg. Fawlty Towers etc).
19 Nov 2006 22:39
I first visited this place about 8 years ago when it was run by a very attractive woman called Dawn. It was superb - excellent beers, brilliant music, vital ambience (the location is wonderful). But I went back last year and was so disappointed that it had changed hands and was now run in a very lacklustre way. It looks tired and rundown now. I hope someone can resurrect it one day.
19 Nov 2006 22:32
The perfect conclusion to a Cornish cliff top walk. Great little bar: good beer; reasonable food; good ambience. Tourist places sometimes get a bit complacent but this place is everything you'd want.
19 Nov 2006 22:25
My favourite pub. Sitting outside this old inn on a summer evening sipping a pint of beautifully kept Adnams as the swifts and swallows wheel around the medieval market square is one of the sublime pleasures of life.
Food not bad either...
19 Nov 2006 20:50
Friendly run village pub. Never enough customers though...
19 Nov 2006 20:44
A tightly-run little ship. No concessions to the "gastro-pub" trends, just traditional old-fashioned pub "fayre" - ie. big portions of chips, peas and onion rings with everything. But alright nonetheless. Beer good. Service attentive and friendly.
19 Nov 2006 20:41
This is like entering someone's private parlour. As you open the door a row of middle-aged, middle-class men will swivel round and scrutinise you. an old deal You'll order your drink and immediately be drawn into the conversation. Sit around an old deal table on benches and enjoy the good beer and the pleasantly drunken idle chit chat. The landlord always looks faintly depressed...

The Kings Head (Low House), Laxfield
A gem. Well worth visiting if in the area. A proper tap-room. Genuine old settles. Bags of atmosphere. Good beer too.
19 Nov 2006 20:29
Best thing about this place is the fabulous views. On a clear summer evening you can see for miles from the beer garden. Food and drink are ok. The management can be a bit stuck up though. Was once told off for carrying my pint through the dining area to get to the garden...
19 Nov 2006 20:25
I've always liked the Beehive. It was a "gastro-pub" long before the term became common parlance and I've always felt it's good reputation absolutely deserved. Service has always been friendly, beer is excellent and the food of a high standard. Used to enjoy a walk around Ickworth park followed by a pint of foaming Bitter with a bowl of Mussels and some garlic bread.
19 Nov 2006 20:23
Nice location but it's a bit like walking into someone's front room. The landlord and his wife were sitting round the fire eating their dinner and had to get up to serve us. We were the only customers. It felt a bit awkward. Another pub that you can see calling time for good in the not too distant future.

Agree with contributor below. About 5 years ago the G&D was THE pub in Long Melford. Sadly it has become just another anonymously managed 'company house'. Shame.

Popular with couples who come to sit here and hold hands in the dimly (romantically) lit old bars.

The roast potatoes left a lot to be desired. The meat was fine, service attentive. But the veg did look a bit tired sitting there all day under the hot lamps.

The Angel Hotel, Lavenham
Word around town is that this has changed hands yet again. The Marco Pierre White experiment has been deemed a failure. It is to be hoped that it might now return to being the best village pub again. Come back Roy and Anne...
