The Brewers Tap: Where Brits Behave Like Brits and Yanks Behave Like Yanks Okay, so, the Brewers Tap in Lakenheath is a bit of a time warp. Think: old-school British pub, complete with a roaring fire, a dusty dartboard, and the kind of locals who can make a pint of bitter taste like nectar of the gods. But here's the kicker: this isn't your average British pub. Oh no, this place is a melting pot of cultures, thanks to its proximity to the American airbase. So, while you've got your traditional British blokes with their charming farmers' accents and their love of a good game of cribbage, you've also got a smattering of American servicemen who've clearly never seen a real pub before. It's a fascinating dynamic. You'll hear Brits discussing the latest football match while Americans try to figure out what a "banger" is. And then there are the inevitable misunderstandings. I once heard an American ask for a "Bloody Mary" and the barman looked at him like he'd asked for a unicorn. But that's all part of the charm of the Brewers Tap. It's a place where you can experience the best of both worlds, without having to leave the country. Just remember to mind your manners, because the locals are quick to call you out if you're not behaving like a proper Brit.

Popped in the Brewers Tap after a walk around the RSPB reserve. Great popular pub. Friendly welcome, great service & great beer. We had the added bonus of it being happy hour when we arrived. Doesn't open till after 4pm

Decent little boozer in the village, bit clicky if you're not a local but welcoming nonetheless.

Cozy british pub vibes with an incredibly friendly bar staff! Unlike many chain restaurants, this place allows outside food which is fantastic! There's a coop next door, as well as a fish and chip shop, kebab shop, pizza shop and Japanese food place all within a 60 second walk! Reasonable prices for location and a great choice in spirits.

Looking for a local pub and stumbled on this one. We had drinks not familiar with us (a cider and a bitter). They were good. The Cider was a bit sweet but that's not the fault of the pub but the brewer. Love the relaxed atmosphere and open space. Would like to return before we leave.

What the hell is up with calling last call at 7:15 pm with 10 people still in? And the bartender with short brown hair is absolutely rude! She had so much attitude!

Small old fashioned pub. Warm and friendly. Great selection of real ales that change regularly due to the hard work of Liam Williams behind the bar. Excellent Sunday lunch served 12.30 - 2pm.

We had a Birthday meal today catering for 10 Adults and 1 child. The service was 10/10 Food was 10/10 I can honestly say the staff were so kind and made us all relaxed, We were not rushed and made to feel very welcome. The Staff work very hard to set a high standard and it was very much noted. Food was of an excellent standard and cooked to perfection, We most certainly will be returning. Thank you so much to all Staff for making my Neices Birthday Meal a very memorable one
