The Little Wellington - Mid Suffolk

I wanted a quiet drink with my friends but ended up with screaming kids running around the beer garden and the dodgy looking play area...loud boorish drunk blokes in the little beer garden, choking on smoke from a Pizza shed and loud traffic on the main road...not my idea of a quiet drink...still it may appeal to others if you like that sort of thing.

We chose this pub for a pint specifically because it is listed in the current edition of the Campaign for Real Ale ‘Good Beer Guide’ and we were not disappointed. This is still a ‘proper’ old fashioned pub and I say this without criticism. A small range (again, not a criticism) of real ales were available on hand pumps – quite sufficient to meet our needs. More beers do not always equate to better, as they may not be sold as quickly. The licensee served us, made us feel welcome and was full of bonhomie. The pub was the busiest of those we visited that day and is clearly well supported by locals, who included us in conversation. Food should have been available at lunch time but was not. The licensee was apologetic about this and explained it was a ‘work in progress’ and was due to happen soon. This didn’t help us at the time of or visit of course, but at least the apology was offered. This is a pub I will happily return to when circumstances allow.

Friendly pub with a great variety of drinks on offer, staff are very friendly and welcoming. Sunday afternoons are a must.

Tried to eat here today at lunchtime. Signage indicated food being served as well as a takeaway service. It appears there's been a change of tenants and they're not quite kitchen ready as yet, Disappointing as it looked nice inside!

Traditional family pub that does a good range of beers and lagers, the food is home made and served in good sized sensible portions. There is also a pizza oven within the garden area that serves up delicious pizzas, I cannot say enough about the family who run it, they are really welcoming and friendly.
