Food
To go with great beer you need great food. We work with the fantastic chefs from Burger Jam who are residents in our kitchen, as well as other great local street food trucks.
From Wednesday to Sunday you can find Burger Jam in our kitchen cooking their amazing burgers as well as loaded fries, sides and dessert. On Sundays from October through to April they serve one of the best roast dinners around, perfect for enjoying with one of our cask ales. For up to date menus please find them on Instagram or Facebook @BurgerJamStreetfood or drop them an email at [obfuscate email="burgerjamltd@gmail.com" display="inline"]
On Tuesdays we change things up and offer a rotating line up of local food trucks, from pizza to Greek fusion. Keep an eye on our socials for updates.
Drinks
Our bar operates 14 keg lines and 4 cask lines giving you a great choice of our beer covering styles from traditional ales to modern hop forward IPA’s.
We also have a well stocked fridge full of our cans and bottles to drink in or to take away, as well as minikegs and merchandise.
Don't worry if beer isn't your thing, we have a great selection of wine, including from our friends Flint Vineyard, located just down the Waveney valley.
We also stock a range of cider, gin and other spirits covering all bases. If you are not drinking then we have a range of non alcoholic beers, our in house produced hopwater, local apple juice and range of other softs.
With our beers ever changing and often mixed fermentation beer and cider available we really have something for everyone, and if you can't decide why not try a flight board giving you 3 third glasses of beer.
