The Letter B

In Whittlesey, The Letter B is a long-established community pub with a strong real-ale identity and a changing selection of cask beer. Its association with local beer culture and the Straw Bear weekend gives it particular value as a listing connected to Whittlesey’s distinctive traditions rather than simply its everyday hospitality. As a pub or bar, it also carries some of the social character of the place: the sort of venue where residents and visitors share the same space rather than experiencing a purely visitor-facing attraction. That gives it value within a wider itinerary through Fenland, especially for an informal drink, a slower stop or an evening after exploring. Menus, service times and opening arrangements can change seasonally, so visitors making a special journey should check the venue’s current information before travelling.
