Its the figure you'd get if you added up all the prices for a ale and larger and divided it up by the number of prices you had, but that's not important right now x

Ronsdog wrote:The Stanford Arms, a couple of minutes from the ground has its devotees, as does the
Triangle, a good range of real ales. The Havelock is well situated opposite the main entrance to Crown Meadow and the Rose at the rear of the ground can be worth a visit.

In the centre of town there is the usual range of plastic pubs, notably the Weatherspoons
Joseph Conrad, but I would urge all fans of real ales to sample the Trawlerboys Ale in the
Clubhouse. Big screen showing Premiership lunchtime game and all the usual amenities will
be available in the Clubhouse.

Full list....http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/re ... 3BSuffolk/
I worked in Lowestoft in 2011 and return about twice a year and yes the triangle is very good

the blues is £2 for strongbow, thats more like it

There's a Wetherspoons by the Railway Station which isn't too bad for ale. It's about 10 mins walk to the ground.
Triangle Tavern is the brewery tap for Green Jack Ales. It's about 7 mins walk to the ground.
Best pub is the Stanford Arms, it's listed in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide as the brewery tap for Green Jack but is now a free house and has at least 10 hand pumps on. 3 minutes walk to the ground.
Oak Tavern and Mariners Rest aren't too far away, both have a few decent ales.
There are several other pubs quite close but I wouldn't describe them as real ale pubs.

Ronsdog is talking [SwearFilter], ale is around £3.20 a pint in the Triangle and Stanford.

Going Saturday morning, staying in B&B on the sea front and then back on Sunday, hopefully well satisfied.

OK HANDS UP, I quoted London prices. Sorry to give everybody a fright.
By way of apology to all you ale lovers here's a short on the famed
Trawlerboys Ale.....http://youtu.be/phUki7IZxEg

Many thanks to the Lowestoft Officials and fans, a great day and a fantastic game played in the spirit of the game.

I wish you well for next season
