It’s a ‘spoons. A hotel ‘spoons. You know the drill.
It’s quite a nice ‘spoons, though. Obviously a pub/hotel for a long time, and it did provide the contrast in pricing to the Southwold pubs.

Graze at The White Horse
Beccles:
This was pushing itself much more as a restaurant, hence the “Graze at” but the origins are a pub, and the bar felt pubby. Clearly very old, inside’s a bit stripped out, but by no means featureless.
Really pleasant welcome from the staff, great food, and ABK Hell on draught :-). Outside but under cover seating available too.
The Bear and Bells
Beccles:
We should have liked this, really. From outside it looks typical well-looked-after rural town pub, like it’s been there for ever, and it probably has.
It didn’t hit the spot though: inside had pubco-catalogue furniture that was too modern, and the toilets, jarringly, felt like, while clean, they hadn’t changed since the eighties. The menu didn’t appeal to us either: lunchtime sandwiches were only ciabatta, no other choice.
There wasn’t anything actually terribly wrong, it just didn’t hit the mark. The licensees are clearly working hard, it just didn’t suit us.
