What Yvonne F likes about The Shannon Pub:
Lovely country pub with a varied lunch menu. Alex was seating, taking orders and serving drinks and food. The pub was at least half full on a Wednesday lunchtime so he had his hands full but you wouldn't have known it.

This is the first time I have been to the Bucklesham Shannon for lunch as I had been told how good the food was. I had Sunday Roast and my daughter had cod and chips. The cod was massive!

Nestled in a charming countryside setting, The Bucklesham Shannon offers a mixed experience for patrons. While some diners praise the generous portions and well-cooked meals, others express disappointment with service and food quality. A lack of attentive staff and long wait times overshadowed the dining experience for some guests. However, many highlight the fantastic Sunday roasts, delectable fish and chips, and a welcoming ambiance that fosters a relaxed dining atmosphere. With prices drawing mixed reviews, this pub's potential shines through the positive culinary feedback, making it a place worth visiting again, especially on special occasions.
