This is a great real ale pub with very friendly atmosphere. Generally 5-6 real ales on at any one time and a few traditional ciders. Live music, spoken word, quizzes etc. Dog and family friendly. Best way to describe it is a good village pub in town.

Great beer. Shame about the dog wandering around barking at customers and waiting to get a mouthful of their food. The place has an odd smell about it too.

The perfect brewery tap! No airs & graces, just a compact, functional, basic pub with some great quality real ale. Predominately Mauldon’s brewery beers but some excellent guest ales too. Hand pumps & gravity poured, premium quality ales. Very well supported by locals and deservedly so. Brilliantly managed pub.

The service really is something else in here. There has never been a time when I’ve gone in there and haven’t for waited ages to be served. The manager is probably the worst of the lot. How has he worked in a bar for years? Beer average. Unclean. And as for the annoying pub dog…..

I was quite disappointed with my visit to this pub. It was my first time there and although the beer selection was good the older lady working behind the bar was very cold and unwelcoming not even a smile when we ordered. I get the feeling it’s more of a locals pub who don’t take kindly to outside visitors. It’s a shame really.

If you're after a traditional pub feel this is what you are looking for. Featuring a good selection of beer and cider with guest kegs from guest brewers. This means there's often something new to try. Wooden furniture, wooden flooring, traditional pub décor, darts board and a billiards table. Small courtyard to the rear and really happy friendly welcoming staff. It really is a great pub, has a wonderful homely vibe to it and tends to draw in a pleasant friendly customer base.

Lots of great choices for beer, friendly nonthreatening atmosphere and dog friendly. This is more or less my local so perhaps i am biased but some pubs just have a "character" - the Brewery Tap caters for a better class of eccentric is a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

A Brewery Tap is the pub closest to a brewery; thus the beers are always at their best. Mauldon'sBeers are not as well known as they deserve outside the area, but are one of the best in EastAnglia.

This little local is a gem. They only serve snack food - rolls, pies and pasties, but you can order a takeaway to be delivered to the pub. The beer is exceptional. As the Mauldon's Brewery Tap, the ale is always well kept and some of the beers are poured straight from the barrel. Undercover smoking area out back where they have occasional beer festivals. With a Bar billiards table, dart team and golf team this pub is very community minded and they have live music from local bands. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. A great local and a must visit from beer lovers coming to this pretty town.

I am not a regular drinker but when the need does come over me the Tap is usually my first pint of call. It continues to offer a good range of real ales, with a good selection of guest beers regularly. The atmosphere is never so loud that a civilised conversation is impossible and their are no glaring electrical distractions. Service is always friendly even when knowledge of beer may be lacking.

It amazes me how this bar has a decent rating, well, they must be from friends of the bar. The bar is only open part time, and why is that? Because the only people it attracts is the local druggies and lowlifes. You won’t find anyone with any kind of standards drinking here, and trust me, you’ll be surrounded by 16 to 25 year olds. It seems the Ark is happy with this clientele, as the majority of Brantham know it’s known for this kind of thing. This “bar” is a failing business and will continue to be, unless it actually makes the effort with attracting the right customers who will make others comfortable drinking there. This bar is bad news and I would avoid. I have lived in the village for a long time and it’s such a shame, but you hear all kinds of rumours about it. Every time I drive past it seems it’s never open. If you prefer somewhere a little more classy then try the Brantham bull. The Brantham bull makes effort to provide a service for the elderly and actually wants to succeed.
