Half of those villages sound made up. Wangford? Lol.
I don't live that far from Wangford - they do have a some lovely rustic food and drink places and farm shops. I first visited Wangford when I was about 13 on a bike ride but have since been back a few times with other people, and it is just as memorable each time I visit.

I can vouch for the Sweffling White Horse, Chillesford Froize, Butt and Oyster [edit] The Ferry Boat Inn at Felistowe Ferry [end of edit] and Freston Boot not being made up...as you well know. Anyway
The Greyhound in Pettistree is my local. A really lovely old pub with decent food and great staff. The roaring fire makes it almost too warm some evenings though! Would highly recommend...awesome selection of whisky too.

the sweffling white horse is wonderful. it's something out of a gentler, nicer time. the people who run it are brilliant. just don't expect food. if you want food go to the crown in great glemham - which is the next village

And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show
Strange old place, not particular clean looking or indeed inviting but just what you need at the end of a good walk up from Languard.
Last time I went there (summer 2019) it was remarkably different from the pub I used to work in. Big extension, fresh coat of paint, clean - has it taken a nosedive since then?
I had a delicious meal at the Freston Boot a couple of months back, would definitely recommend it although I wouldn't particularly describe it as a "cosy pub" (that's not to it's detriment though)

I am pretty sure people wouldn't like it there....horrible atmosphere and naff beer!!
This from there latest email gives a hint of just how bad it is....
"The pub slippers are back! Here at the Swefflng pub we welcome muddy boots - but if you prefer to take them off while you're enjoying a pint please feel free to borrow a pair of our freshly laundered slipper socks which are hanging at the door to keep your feet nice and toasty. When you've finished with them, drop them into the laundry basket in the corridor and we'll wash them. We have 5 pairs so there's plenty to go around!"
#shhhh!

Cherry Tree in Woodbridge my personal favourite. Adnams (good) and very tasty food (very good).
The Thursday night quiz is pretty much the best around in my opinion.
but tbf they werent promoting the article as a selection of Suffolks best pubs, for that you need to buy the CAMRA Good Beer Guide 2022 published next Friday :)
it was Suffolks cosiest pubs, and Id probably have swapped in the Cherry Tree as it does have a good pub fire and is quite cosy, Kings Head in woodbridge has a decent one too, rather than Freston Boot (but maybe the food is cosy I dont know Ive never eaten there), but its that element they are going for as their criteria.
and blimey that fireplace at the Queens Head at Blyford looks very impressive.
If anyone is ever out that way, The star at wenhaston is a fantastic little pub, unchanged since the 60s at least. on a Sunday has live music and free nibbles handed round, and an Open fire roaring in the winter .. superb little pub.
The Station is very good, easily the best in Fram, might be waiting 45 minutes for one of the pizzas though. Not from the list but I'm a big fan of the Earl Soham Victoria, seems to do pretty well considering its a village pub and is one of the few that doesn't seem to focus so much on food. Its namesake bitter is a cracking pint.
Settled on the Dog for Sunday lunch and a walk around Woodbridge as I have never been.
Park up near the railway station, walk for about a mile around the river wall to Kyson Point, then double back along the farm track which runs close to the railway line.
Cross over the tracks, across Kingston Park and call in at the Cherry Tree. Finish at The Anchor, which is my favourite Woodbridge pub. Delightful way to spend an afternoon.

That looks like a short list of pubs that have been tapped to be included. Some of them are near to much nicer pubs. Chillisford Froize is interesting in that it does a rather good if rather expensive buffet lunch aimed at well-to-do pensioners. You could combine a visit to it with a trip to Orford -with its two better pubs, via Snape with its nice river walks and two better pubs

Is it the King's Arms (?) or Head in Orford that does Oyster on tap around March? Best stout ever.
