    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!"

    I grew up in Milwaukee, an American city with a history defined by the neighborhood bar, and one…read morethat - like many pubs in England - have also struggled to to redefine themselves for the 21st century. The threats aren't exactly the same, though the results certainly are: on one side of the ocean, our bars are being brightened and electrified into colorful sports bars, with a menagerie of televisions surrounding every possible vantage point and friendly waiters in colorful uniforms selling us cheap microwaved food. On the other side, pubs are being bought and consolidated into mega-chains, all offering roughly the same food and strategically-placed memorabilia to make you forget that all of the beer on tap is produced by the same brewery. Obviously, this isn't very good, but neither are those dark and dank pubs of my youth - I want to drink in a modern bar that offers a variety of local taps and maybe get some good food while I'm at it. Since Heston Blumenthal popularized the gastropub, the idea of a bar with an eye for good food and quality beverages has been embraced by many bars simply looking to eschew corporate ownership. Success varies, depending on the establishment, but when they manage to strike the balance between beer, food, and atmosphere, the result is quite nice indeed. Kingston Arms is one of those places. As someone who's not from this country, I appreciate the abundant and free wifi. As someone who drinks, I appreciate the wide variety of real ale casks on tap. As someone who likes food that tastes good, Kingston Arms is more or less in my camp, too. A charcuterie appetizer didn't impress me too well - there were some obligatory peaces of prosciutto and salami, along with some cumbersomely whole artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, a too-thick rendition of hummus, and with only two halves of a pita with which we were to scoop everything up, it ended up being a lot of finger food. Things improved with the main courses. The rotating trio of sausages on special seemed a little too on the nose for a traveller like me, but the queen scallops (also on special) were nicely and simply prepared over an appreciable black pudding. Served with some roasted baby potatoes, it was a very nice lunch. I obviously don't come to England very often, but as someone who likes to make my meals count, I've seen what pitfalls can befall the traveler who decides to just walk down the street and pick the first thing that catches their attention. This very nearly happened to me, in fact, thanks to a taxi driver who assumed that I, like all other Americans, would have been content to just head to The Eagle and call it a day. Do a little more research and walk down a few unassuming streets and you might find something with a bit more character, a bit more concern for your food and drink needs, and a better pub in which you can spend an 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!
