Bar Overview

The Case is a community pub with a focus on wet sales including regularly changing guest ales primarily supplied by local independent brewers. Although we do not regularly offer food other than bar snacks (i.e. crisps, peanuts), we do run special food related events. Check our news page for notice of these. We have a large garden for children to play in if they get bored inside, and the village play area is right next door!

Drinks

We pride ourselves on our real ale selection, the quality of which has been officially recognised with Cask Marque accreditation, and an entry in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide.

In addition to our regular bitter, Adnams Southwold, we have up to three local ‘guest’ beers each week one of which will be a dark ale – visit every week to sample all of them! Recent guest beers have been supplied by Adnams, Bishop Nick, Cabin Brewery, Cliff Quay Brewery, Earl Soham Brewery, Elgoods, Colchester Brewery, Old Cannon, Lacons, Mauldons, Mighty Oak, Nethergate, Wolf and Woodfordes.

The currently available ales are listed on a ‘beer menu’ behind the bar. The numbers in red to the left of the beer names indicate which handpump it’s being dispensed from. The beers listed on the lower half of the board (below the white line) indicate what’s coming next – an incentive to help finish off the ones above the white line if ever one was needed.

Our lager selection includes Carlsberg and San Miguel, with Cyder from Aspalls of Suffolk.  The local orchard supplies apples to them! We also have Guinness for those who love their Irish stout, plus a variety of bottled drinks.  We stock a range of whisky, gins and other spirits.

We have an interesting wine list, with selections available by the glass (small, medium and large).

Carlsberg, Guinness, San Miguel, Aspalls and Ghost Ship 0.5% available on draught

Of course we also stock a wide range of ‘soft’ drinks including fruit juices, and sometimes some interesting local apple juices. We also serve tea, coffee and hot chocolate for those who prefer something warmer. We also offer a range of low alcohol drinks.

Many of the world’s biggest drinks companies have now created ‘new and improved’ alcohol-free drinks so the taste, quality and image of non-alcoholic beers and spirits have improved immensely. They also fit in with many people’s health and wellness attitudes, so we think it’s important that they should be available as an alternative to the regular beers and spirits on offer. To meet this demand at the Case, we have gradually been extending our range of low/no alcohol drinks.

Currently we stock:

• Heineken 00, 0% ABV. This is our first no alcohol lager. It’s available in 330 ml bottles and is already becoming popular with customers;

• Kopparberg Mixed Fruit Cider, 0.5% ABV which comes in a 500 ml bottle;

• Adnams Ghost Ship 0.5% ABV, this is a keg bitter which we’ve been offering for some time and, of course, because it’s on draught it means it’s available in both pint and half pint measures;

• Guinness 0.0, 0% ABV, a stout that is unmistakably Guinness, just without the alcohol, available in 440 ml cans;

• and, something a little different, a no alcohol spirit: Gordon’s 0.0% Dry Gin.
