This Pub is Permanently Closed

Lively bar on edge of railway station car-park. A quieter room was located behind the bar area and steps led down to a games room with pool table. The pub had three hand-pumps. Beers were mainly from East Anglia, though some were sourced from other regions. Outside there were various function rooms around the car-park and food which was provided from a catering unit. A marquee provided extra seating on busy nights and space for private functions. The first pub beer festival was held in September 2010 and led to more.

The pub closed on October 31st 2020, when the landlady retired. It has now been converted into a takeaway food outlet.
