The pub is at the far-western edge of the village, almost in Little Finborough. It was historically listed as being in Upper town, i.e. Combs. and is technically in that parish, as the boundary between Combs & Battisford runs through the car park in front of the pub. IT IS ADVISABLE TO BOOK FOR FOOD IN ADVANCE.
The pub is run by a community-interest company on behalf of the village.
Historic Interest
The pub's name shows it to have been a haunt of Whigs during the 17th century, as punch was their preferred drink. Their rival Tories preferred old-fashioned wines. After long & protracted negotiations by a group of determined village folks, a lease was signed for the pub to re-open as the Battisford Punch Bowl Community Inn. Said to be Suffolk's first Community Inn, much refurbishment work was done, with the pub finally re-opening late June 2011. Photographs of this pub and more historical information about it can be found at suffolk.camra.org.uk/pub/1079
