The Brewers Tap in Forest Heath

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.

Little village pub, friendly and relaxing.

Good little pub in Lakenheath village, gets quite a lot of custom never roudy, cosy little pub, great prices for there daily happy hour as well

Great local pub with some lovely peoole

I’ve used this company from when they started but the new staff are so rude and abusive on the phone the owner is polite but he’s staff is rude and abusive

Great place to be lovely people landlord and landlady are great 😃🍻

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.

Came to the pub on a Saturday Afternoon, had Wherry on tap which was a bonus! Was busy too, recommended

Been meaning to give this place a visit, being as we're so local. Wasn't disappointed, really friendly village pub atmosphere & felt very welcome. Nice little local!!

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!

Liam and Brooke always make you feel at home. Overall just a great little pub.

Very friendly locals. All loved my dog.

Very cozy atmosphere and friendly staff!🍻

Small traditional pub trying its best to operate in covid times

Since covid 19 the people have dwindled out and not as busy or sociable but still a great pub and lovely staff

Loved this pub. Fancy dress was memorable, loved hanging with the buds here.

Always go here with my friends. Very chill, always has the game and great crowd

It was open early, serving good beers, and in a friendly setting.

Cosy pub with real ales and friendly atmosphere and staff.

Friendly bunch get on with everybody. Never any trouble in the tap.

People were friendly and service was good.

Old fashioned pub. Very local clientelle. Friendly

Nice place for a drink staff and patrons are extremely friendly

Went here the other night. The owner, Liam, is a great guy. Pours a nice glass of Guiness. Everything you'd want in a village pub and more!

Need a better selection of lagers

Friendly local pub in Lakenheath

A one off pub, the best in the area

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.
