If you love real ale then you are in for a treat for we brew beer on site. The Good Beer Guide describes us as THE place to go for real ale in Bury St Edmunds. As well as our own, we have a constant rotation of guest ales from around the country as well as Adnams, our regular guest beer from the Suffolk coast.

If beer is not your tipple, we have a full range of spirits, local Aspall cyder, Suffolk-grown apple juice and a carefully selected range of wines, many of which are available by the glass, including our 'wines of the moment' English wines produced by Shawsgate near Framlingham. Unique to our bar is draught Calvors, a premium Suffolk lager brewed on a farm in nearby Coddenham.

Our unique, state-of-the-art, stainless steel brewing vessels are a stunning feature of the bar itself. Our beers are made from East Anglian grown and malted barley, choice English hops and a special house yeast. Brewer Joe Kennedy waves his magic wand and you can taste the results for yourself:
