The owners are CAMRA members and the two beers they have on rotate, generally avoiding Adnams. Food times MAY be extended if the demand is there. Beers are usually from local brewers. In late-2020/early-2021 new signage was erected describing the pub as the "Wheatsheaf Beer House".

The pub occasionally shuts for a couple of days if there is a big beer festival on near by, landlady often is a volunteer for Norwich in October for example, so do check our Facebook page if you have any doubts.
