    On the 27th August 2016 we were guests at a wedding hosted by Corton Inn. Unfortunately the bride…read moreand groom didn't receive the expected service and when the bride tried to post on their Facebook page the following message she was blocked! The service at the Corton Inn is awful, do not visit this place. "After a lovely weeks honeymoon with my beloved husband it is now time for my rant... On Saturday 27th August, I married the love of my life Mark Sparham at St. Margaret's church Lowestoft. This was followed by a wedding breakfast and evening reception at the Corton Inn, this is where our nightmare began. We were having a three course meal, the tables were not set out with the correct cutlery, no condiments and bread rolls were served after the starters and just placed on the tables with no plates and no butter. Tables were called up one at a time by the toast master which we hired ourselves, the first few tables got plenty of food with no worry but at least THREE tables of 10 people got no food at all!!! To which some went out to Tesco and bought themselves sandwiches as they were hungry. As the bride, and sitting on a raised top table, it was like watching a Carry On film. They have no idea on how to conduct a wedding function. All the waitresses, were embarrassed as it unfolded and many of them did not hide the fact they had only just been called in to help at a function. Some of them were not afraid to admit they were not employed by the Corton Inn. Outside the Corton Inn they have an 8ft sign advertising 'Suffolk's premier function venue' - it is everything but! The two managers have no charisma or people skills whatsoever and do not deserve to be in the business! If anyone is considering using this venue for a wedding, you seriously need to reconsider your decision!"

    This is one of several great pubs scattered over the small streets either side of Mill Road. While…read morethe selection of ales here is good, it's not quite as good as either the Cambridge Blue or Live and Let Live, so it's the food that'd bring you here. This is rooted in the style of pub food - not overly fancy dishes served in hearty portions to eat with a few beers. But there's a wider range of dishes here and a care of preparation that takes it closer to gastropub territory than your average local. A permanent fixture of the menu are a range of different types of sausages sourced from the nearby butcher. These are proper sausages, with high quality meat blended with just the right amount of herb, giving them a much more distinctive flavour than the vaguely papery-ness of most supermarket bought sausages. They're served with a proper homemade gravy on top of a big helping of soft mash with nice deeply flavoured red cabbage beneath it. [Sadly the last time I went my whole dish suffered from being slightly luke-warm, but I'm willing to forgive that for now as a one off lapse] The grilled seabass wasn't trying to be anything extravagant or smothered in one of those sauces that can so often go wrong. Instead it was just a nice plump fresh fish, cooked to perfection so the skin was charred and the flesh soft and springy. In contrast the chicken demonstrated a little more the chef's talents, livening up the chicken's soft and often considered bland taste with the stronger flavours of oyster mushrooms and herbs. It's dishes like this one that really add to The Kingston Arm's menu and probably are what helped it win an Observer food award a few years back. I've also had really great venison pie here in the past and have hear that the pan-fried ostrich steak is interesting. With such diverse options on offer, it seems a bit boring to get a standard roast dinner here, but they do also offer these most Sundays and they are fairly close to home cooking. The prices are around the same as other 'gastropubs' I've visited, with mains around £10. Not the cheapest in town, but not terrible either. Plus, they now have a cheaper 'recession menu' to try to soften the blow a little - with dishes for as little as a fiver. There's a nice little beer garden out the back for when it's sunny, newspapers available for you to read, a couple of computers to surf the internet and free wi-fi. This is definitely a pub where it would be easy to spend the whole afternoon.

    1st night ever in the UK and I am lucky to find this gorgeous pub. Great atmosphere, good beer,…read morenice hosts, good food...perfect!
