This pub overlooks the marshes & River Waveney. Convenient for river users, railway travellers & ramblers. The comfortable lounge & dining area leads though to the garden room restaurant which has a good reputation & uses local produce (booking advised). An open fireplace separates the lounge & public bar. A converted barn in the attractive grounds is used for regular musical events featuring local artistes & occasional beer festivals. Guest beers are sourced from local micros.

Historic Interest

A report in the Ipswich Journal on 21 Jul 1860 states that: Benjamin Horn, since absconded, was charged by Mr John ROLL, of the Duke's Head Inn, Somerleyton, with the use of profane language. Fined 10s or 6 weeks imprisonment. Photographs of this pub and more historical information about it can be found at suffolk.camra.org.uk/pub/858
