About This Pub

Ah, the Straw Hat in Great Sutton is one of those pubs that just feels like a second home, you know? From what I've gathered from the reviews and a quick look at their site, it's all about that easy-going atmosphere where the staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome – think cheerful chats and a real sense of community, just like folks have mentioned in their feedback. It's brilliant for sinking a few drinks with mates, especially with those cracking offers on beers and spirits, and if you're into sports, you'll love the HD screens showing everything from football to Formula 1. Plus, being dog-friendly is a lovely bonus for those sunny walks that turn into impromptu pub stops. On the flip side, it's not the place for a big feed since it's limited to bar snacks, so you might want to grab something substantial before you go or plan for a simple night. All in all, it's a solid, affordable spot that does community spirit really well, but it could do with a few more options for those peckish moments – still, I'd say it's worth a visit for a chilled evening out.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant and make you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • It's a proper dog-friendly spot, so you can bring your furry friend along for a pint without any fuss.
  • They've got some unbeatable drink offers and a great selection of well-kept beers and spirits to choose from.
  • Live sports on HD screens make it a top choice for watching the footy, rugby, or horse racing with mates.
  • It's a real community hub, supporting local charities and getting involved in neighbourhood campaigns, which adds a nice warm touch.
Cons
  • They only do bar snacks rather than a full menu, so if you're after a proper meal, you might end up needing to head elsewhere.
  • There's no phone number listed, which could make it a bit tricky if you want to check on opening times or availability quickly.

I visited this pub whilst visiting a relative from around the corner. We were made to feel really welcome by the customers and we were allowed to take our dog in the pub. The lovely landlady gave us some fresh water for her. My daughter got hungry whilst we were in the pub and was allowed to bring in chips from the chippy! We will definitely be visiting again!!
