The Town House, Ely

Best avoided like the plague Friday and Saturday after 9pm when the disco and screen wash drinkers get started. HOWEVER, go when it's quite and you may be surprised. There beer (3 or 4 real ales) is nearly always tip top (a little word in the bar staffs ears to say that it's not a speed competition when they are pulling a pint would be worth it). There is a good beer festival in the garden every july and whilst not my fave place I do pop in there to see what beer is on from time to time for a change of scene (most oftern before eating in the fab Indian restaurant "The Sylhet" over the road.

The Jolly Sailors, Brancaster Staithe

Lovely little pub greatly improved sine the owners of the White Horse down the road took it over. However they do not brew thier own beer now I beleive that is brewed by Iceni brewery and to tell you the honest truth I thought it was a bit "thin" and not quite as good as it used to be when the brewery was at the pub. Brign back the Old Les - my fave. However the rood is good and the smoked fish calzone pizza a dream!

The Lord Nelson, Burnham Thorpe

Lovely little pub with great beer served straight from the barrell. Bar food a little pricey but always good as is the restaurant food.
