The Hollybush Inn, Makeney

Visited this pub in October for the beer festival so a late review but important to do so. Without doubt one of the BEST pubs I have ever visited. Lovely selection of different areas for having a drink,plus a snug which is outstanding. For those of you who know the Low House snug at Laxfield,Suffolk,the one here is even better. Very friendly landlord and friendly locals who are clearly very proud of THEIR pub and so they should be. Beer and choice excellent when we visited as was the food. Even great pubs have off days so ignore any average reviews as this is one of the great pubs of England that expats drool over and foreigners would think is oh so English. ps if you are lucky a local music man quietly but brilliantly entertains if asked and so adds to the overall character. Ask to hear the pub song. A first ten out of ten for me on this site

The Star Inn, Wenhaston

Visited their beer festival 24 may. BF run the way a proper one should be. Lovely selection of beers and ciders, good tasting notes and offered a proper glass in preference to a plastic one. Pub landlord and landlady very welcoming. A lovely rural pub with clearly well kept beer. Food also looked excellent. This is clearly a great find and we would strongly recommend it.

The Butt and Oyster, Chelmondiston

Beautiful location but be prepared to be pay for it !!!!!! Over £2 for a small coke, beer low abv 3.75 and then upwards. On our experience avoid the sandwiches.huge slabs of bRead with little or no filling. Rip off Britain at pAly here.
