No real change from previous visits, but the beer choice was just Woodforde's Wherry. That was OK but not exciting enough to cause me to tarry.

A nice, comfortable and spacious hotel bar on the Buttlands. Unfortunately, the beer choice has gone downhill a bit and when I visited in November the only ale on offer was Greene King IPA at £4.95 a pint.

Upmarket hotel/restaurant/bar located at the end of the Buttlands (a sort of village green and not called Butt Cracks as my son insisted).
As you enter, there is a central corridor. Lounges to the left were for hotel guests only, whilst there were 3 rooms for drinkers (and possibly diners) to the right-hand side. The corridor continued down past a tiny lounge room on the right-hand side and toilets on the left to a more formal dining room.
The bar serves 2 of the 3 rooms to the right-hand side of the building. Bar staff were busy pulling through one of their 2 real ales (Wherry & Norfolk Topper) when we arrived.
We did consider eating here, but £30 for a steak or £23 for a piece of pork was somewhat more than I was willing to pay for a meal. Drinks prices alone almost require a mortgage.
We appear to be creating more of a two tier society in this country. Nevertheless, it is interesting to see how the other half live.
