Friendly bar staff and good selection of beers.
Really tender lamb roast with proper home made Yorkshire pudding. Very enjoyable.
Wonderful old pub in the heart of Woodbridge. Great garden dining area. Food was very tasty and the service was pleasant and helpful on a very busy Sunday lunchtime
Good pub with lots of character and interesting beers. They recently had a lorry break off the steelyard hanger from the top of the building and so there is scaffolding on the front. But the bar is still open and has lots of character. Very welcoming and cosy.
I was unexpectedly in Woodbridge and sought out a historic pub with good food and a good selection of real beer. The hospitality I hoped would also accompany these requirements. I was not disappointed. This pub is at least a three centuries old and was a former steel workshop as denoted by the name. It still has the winch outside, though damaged by a passing tall lorry at the moment. As you would expect there are not right angles here, walls, doors and floor are all on the wonk and part of the reason I love pubs like this. We were greeted warmly and the excellent and helpful hospitality continued to us out of towners. I would therefore say that although every pub needs its locals, any person visiting the town will receive a lovely reception here. Three well kept real ales, the two I tasted were great. From the traditional menu we chose cod (fresh from the mongers that morning) and chips and the steak and kidney suet pudding. Cod was good quality and the batter so crispy, almost tempura, that I wish my local fish and chip shops could equal it. I have not had a steak and kidney pudding for years and remember it as quite stodgy. Not here. The suet pudding is the lightest I have eaten and it's great to see someone still putting kidneys in it. Lovely rich gravy to go with the buttery mash and creamy leeks. With both meals we had chunky chips which tasted twice fried :) - don't quote me on that. Wish I lived closer as I would be in here all the time. Maybe I'll retire here.
