Sat 12 January	Happy New Year! We've been lucky enough to have local production company Soundingboard produce an audio introduction to our hotel. Roy Hunt le patron explains the whys and wherefores and cracks some jokes, the chef introduces himself, you hear about the tennis court and the way the world is now the coffee has got a little more expensive since the recording was made.
Thu 27 November	See our excellent terms for New Year's Eve.
Wed 28 October	... the menu in reubens has been updated.
Tue 27 October	... and now our Spring Break tariff.
Sat 24 October	We still have few vacancies for Christmas.
Fri 26 October	We now have a special reduced Sunday tariff for our superior, double and twin rooms including breakfast.
Tue 7 August	Patron Roy Hunt proves what a silver tongued city slicker he is by appearing on the Framlingham audio guide.

Thu 20 July	The Sunday Carvery has moved to reubens bar & grill.
Wed 18 July	Executive chef Simon Pickess joined at the beginning of the year and for some reason we didn't tell you about it! Read his bio, see his pic and bar menu here.
Thu 28 June	Pics of reubens first night on their site and you would have thought we would want a breather after that but No! Today we became the new landlords of the Station Hotel in Ipswich.
Fri 15 June	Reubens was officially opened this morning was and is fully booked for tonight.
Tue 5 June	The builders handed over Reubens yesterday and a little calm descended on the courtyard though there'll still be a certain amount of dashing about as we get ready for the opening on Friday 15th June. Reubens was officially opened this morning
Thu 31 May	Le Patron Roy Hunt has had to explain so many times how he broke his wrist that he wants the world to know he fell off a ladder at home and yes, it was bloody silly and yes, he is finding it difficult to point at things.
Tue 8 May	Lot's of activity out the back including much amusement when Roy and Tracy spotted a builder falling through the roof ... no, not really but the courtyard is open with two circles created out of cobbles from the stables making a little nod to the past.
Tue 10 Apr	The lovely sunshine this Easter meant our courtyard was much used. Regrettably from today until the end of next week building work on Reuben's Bar and Grill means the courtyard may not be available and there may not access to the hotel through the courtyard from the car park.
Sat 24 Mar	That didn't take long! Reuben's Bar and Grill has got a new web site.
Thu 22 Mar	Work has started at the rear to convert the stables into Reuben's Bar and Grill which has already got its own web site.
Sat 10 Mar	Wireless Internet has been unavailable in most of the bedrooms since yesterday morning, expect it back on by tomorrow evening.
Wed 7 Mar	By the car park at the rear we have the stables which were rather appropriately used at last year's Street Fayre for a live nativity complete with donkey! This spring the stables are being sympathetically restored and converted to a bar and restaurant so we can offer even more facilities. The bit that has caught us out is discovering Brown Long-Eared Bats in the roof. We are observing all conservation guidelines and regs about our non-paying guests and inevitably it has slowed things down but we are still on course for opening the new restaurant this summer.
Sat 24 Feb	The recent arrival of Easter eggs in Framlingham's supermarket made us realise that Easter isn't so far away and we've worked out some great Easter packages so you can enjoy our hotel and lovely Suffolk.
Fri 2 Feb	We look back at last year's Christmas Street Fayre.
Thu 4 Jan	Happy New Year to you all and again we had a cracking New Year's Eve.
