Cask Ale

A small pleasant country cottage style pub, which is hidden away on a country lane just a minute off the main A12. Since mid-2021, it has been run by the same team behind the Darsham Fox and recently extended to include more dining space.

Three regularly changing cask ales from East Anglian breweries such as Earl Soham, Humpty Dumpty, Nethergate and Wolf.

Beer garden to the side.

Historic Interest

Recorded as the New Inn in the 1881 & 1891 censuses & shown under that name on OS maps at least as late as 1927. Originally licensed only as a beerhouse, it didn't get a full license until 1962 (February 5th).
