The Shannon Inn in Bucklesham has reopened under new management nine days after its previous owners left.
The Shannon Inn in Bucklesham reopened under new management just nine days after previous owners Matt and Dan Smith announced they were leaving 'with heavy hearts' after eight years running the pub. A local couple acquired the business, with day-to-day management handled by Alex Griffin, Rochelle Arthur and Charlotte Parnell.
A reviewer who had previously rated the pub highly visited on a Thursday evening and found it busier than ever, with customers filling both the outdoor seating area and the bar. Service was described as excellent throughout the evening, maintaining the pub's established standards.
The food quality remained strong. A chicken burger came with chips, coleslaw and salad; the chicken was perfectly cooked with excellent chips, whilst the coleslaw had improved on the version previously served. The bun carried the Shannon Inn logo and was filled with crisp lettuce and tasty barbecue mayonnaise. The reviewer described it as a very good meal, though acknowledged that matching the burgers from the previous management was difficult.
