Quinno _ left this review about The Three Tuns
A revisit the other day found three ales, St Austell tribute, Rebellion Smuggler (NBSS 3) and Loddon Hoppit (2.5).
September 2016
A radical makeover inside and out – the two interior rooms have been whacked together forming a horseshoe-shaped bar. Stripped wood flooring, blue and mushroom shades. Now gone into a mad ale push, 8 pumps with 7 on; Mad Goose Purity, White Horse Village Idiot, Hogs Back TEA, Bingham's Space Hoppy, Adnams Bitter, Rev James, Tribute. My Adnams had an odd tinge. Notably expensive if you’re just having a half. Is going to need to try and attract the student trade to keep that sort of range viable – can they do it? I'll give it another go.

Looking up a bit here - new management, a lick of paint and a push on the ale. Worth having a look if you're in the area.

Not much change in the last couple of years. Doom Bar and Youngs Bitter the other day. I'm told the manager is on a weekly contract so this place looks to be under threat from the supermarket land-grab.

Big two-bar roadside pub at the back of the Uni, which oddly seems to attract very few students. Has had some internal upgrading work a while back and is looking better for it. Usually a couple of mainstream ales on the go (from Pride, Adnams, Courage Best, Doom Bar usually) in decent nick, sometimes alongside a guest (I had Otter last time).

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Three Tuns
Substantial suburban roadhouse, with a fairly plain brick facade enlived with some vegetation. Retains a traditional two-bar layout, with an 'L'-shaped lounge having a few tables set for dining but all the customers in the wholly separate public bar. Furniture and decor verging on the basic, but with a few touches suggesting aspirations to go a bit more up market. A little patio furniture out front. Mixed clientele, including some students. Doom Bar and a decent pint of Southwold (£3.30) available from the three handpumps in each bar.
