I've driven through Long Stratton a few times. Never had the inclination to stop, chips or no chips.
 
Yes indeed. When I travel in by bus, I go past the Firs (Tesco), the Falcon (Co-op), The Magpie (boarded up), the Cat & Fiddle (good riddance!) and what used to be Hunter's squash club and Fat Pauly's, both redeveloped and unrecognisable.
I used to manage the Branford Arms for the best part of a year and the Cygnet (RIP) was just around the corner - and a total dive <yikes>
 
That's a shockingly long list of closures. I can't believe how many of those I've been in over the years, and how many I didn't know had closed.

We went into the White Hart in Hingham the other day. Girlfriend took me there a couple of years ago for a Birthday meal, and was fantastic. We popped in for a lunch the other weekend. Again, food was stunning!! They also have local ales on tap, lovely looking place inside. Looks nothing from the outside, but I highly recommend.

Had a fantastic night at the National Winter Ale Festival last night and can definitely recommend it for those who are able to go.
I really enjoyed some of the new beers from Woodfordes and Audit from Lacons (it's 8% ABV!!).
There are some new beers in the foreign beers marquee as well that are well worth trying.
