paulof horsham left this review about The Brewery Tap
There's a definite locals vibe in the Brewery Tap, with a buzz of regulars and a host of very reasonably priced Maldon Brewery ales from the pumps, though the presence of a keg font serving Taylor's Hopical Storm was something of a surprise (cask TT Boltmaker was also available). There's a number of keg fonts, and a cold room behind the bar offers further delights (ciders and Hopback Citra when I was in town recently).
The pub comprises a simple enough space, a little chilly as winter gets going, with the lengthy bar right in front of you as you come in. There's a bar billiards table at the top of the room and sufficient tables to go round.
The ale quality was excellent (and well ahead of the new brewery tap at the other end of town). Its a good place to be and worthy of a stop-off at least, with an extended session well worth considering if you're in Sudbury.

The Mauldon's Brewery Tap is a detached pub just off the main centre of Sudbury. Inside it's a single L shaped room with wooden floors and a slightly raised area at the back that had an obstructed dart board and a covered bar billiard table. It was quiet on my midday Thursday visit.
There are six hand pump which had one unused, Robinson's Wizaard and four Mauldon beers. I missed the fact that there were a few other beers served on gravity from the back. I went for the Mauldon's Blackberry Porter (£3.10) which was in good nick.
This one is well worth a look and is GBG 2017 listed.

A white washed pub on the edge of the centre of town and about 7 - 8 minute walk from the railway station, this is a must visit pub if you like Mauldon brewery pub. There were 9 ales available on our visit with most being from Mauldons but a number from other small breweries including one from the Fat Cat brewery in Norwich. Inside the pub insists of an L shaped public area with oodeen floor boards throughout and a pool table on the upper area. Basic food is served but there are signs up saying you can bring your own takeaway in and they will provide the cutlery and crockery.
