This Pub is Permanently Closed

Landlord (David Lang) was here for over 23 years. Pub has been significantly refurbished and expanded in 2017 with new function rooms added for weddings and parties etc. Mobile bar available for events, etc. The one cask beer was usually selected from Woodforde Wherry, Greene King IPA and Adnams Ghost Ship.

Pub closed Sep 2022 and changed to a restaurant without planning approval.

Historic Interest

A report in the Ipswich Journal** on Oct-15 in 1898 when William H Rogers was the landlord states that : "John Levitt was charged with being drunk & refusing to quit the Chequers. William Rogers, the landlord, suspected that Levitt could not pay for the beer he had ordered & refused to serve him, whereupon he became abusive. Levitt was fined 2s 6d with 7s 6d costs." In Jan 1981 edition of Last Orders*** it was reported that landlords of this then Tolly Cobbold house, Irma & Mike Mortlock, had just moved to Gislingham Six Bells. In March 1981 edition it was reported that they were leaving. Photographs of this pub and more historical information about it can be found here
