Blue Scrumpy left this review about The Racehorse Inn
The Racehorse was my favourite Suffolk pub of the day. I very nearly joined some sort of ballroom dancing event at the neighbouring village hall until I realised I was in the wrong car park. However, I soon found the Racehorse nextdoor.
Entering into the small bar area, there is a dining room to the left and a games room to the right. The dining room appeared to stretch a fair way back.
This is a community-run pub that serves a good range of changing local beers. On during my visit were Green Jack Golden Best, Mr Winter's Tranquility & Rorschach & Ampersand Godiva. Also on handpull was the local Giggler Suffolk Cider, which I had tried previously. It was only when I'd ordered the Rorschach that I noticed a board listing a second Giggler cider called Sweet Caroline. So, I subsequently ordered that too.
This appears to be a pub popular with both locals and visitors alike. It's well off the beaten track down some less driven lanes. But I'd say that it is well worth the effort finding it.
