The Triangle Tavern, on St. Peters Street in Lowestoft is a historic traditional public house, which has always been a real ale haven. Since Tim took the pub over in 1996 the pub has been ever popular largely due to the large range of quality real ales on offer and the ever welcoming locals.

The bar is managed by the legendary Jockey Wilson and his team of knowledgeable real ale bar staff. The Triangle’s famous “front bar” is the place where real ale discussions go on late into the evenings apart from Friday a & Saturdays as there is always live music. If you like traditional pubs then you will really enjoy coming down to the Triangle Tavern in Lowestoft and trying some of Green Jack’s real ales.

The origins of the Locks Inn at Geldeston is said to have been built in the 1560’s, and modernised in 1666, it was granted a public house license n the 17th Century. In those olden times, as well as locals tramping across the marsh footpaths and trade from river traffic, with differing constabulary on either side of the county border running through the lock, it was a haven for cross border smuggling and illegal prize-fighting.  Though in guidebooks as a local beauty spot for the last 150 years, the Locks became one of the many destinations for the booming Broads leisure industry from the 1930’s. Tragically the end of the 20th Century brought a crash in trade, reputation and several years of closure.

Happily the pub is was taken under the care of Green Jack Brewing Company in 2004, and with improved road access attracts walkers, boaters, canoeists, anglers, birdwatchers and all walks of life from the countryside community, as well as visitors from across the county, country and indeed the world to enjoy the pub and the outstanding natural beauty of the Broads National Park. On offer in the unspoilt original pub, huge riverside garden and adjoining games/function/dining room is a movable feast of award winning ales, live music and other entertainment, real pub food, pub games, unique atmosphere, roaring fire and always a warm welcome, not to mention the full selection of Green Jack real ales.
