The pub has a large open plan interior which is mainly used for dining but retains a small drinking area. It also has a fine view of the large village green and a garden to the rear with a deep pond.

it was renamed the Old Mill House in 1994. Formerly owned by Greene King, it was noted to have been de-branded when visited early in 2015.

Historic Interest

It was reported in White's Directory (1844 & 1874) that in 1831 some labourers digging a drain behind the pub found a human skeleton, the remains of a wooden coffin, a two penny piece of Henry VI, & a gold ring bearing the emblems of the Trinity, a figure of the virgin Mary, & round inside the inscription "de bon cuer" in old English characters. A report in the Ipswich Journal** on 31 May in 1851 states that : "Sale of the Volunteer Inn, Saxstead, now in the occupation of Mrs PIPE, replete with every convenience, containing 2 parlours, Bar, Kitchen, Cellar, Store Room & Pantry & 6 airy Sleeping-rooms. The Property is entirely freehold, now in full trade, most advantageously situate by the road side, equi-distant from Earlsham & Framlingham." A report in the Ipswich Journal** on 23 Jul in 1853 states that : "Auction of all the Household Furniture of Mr John BLOOMFIELD, Dealer in Horses, Innkeeper, Bankrupt, at the Volunteer Inn, Saxstead." A report in the Ipswich Journal*** in 16 Nov 1867 states that : Stealing Sprats - John Runacles & Chas Potkin, of Saxted labourers, were charged with having, on the 6th Nov, stolen 50 sprats from a cart at the Volunteer inn, Saxtead, the property of Wm Stannard, of bedfield, shopkeeper. Believing that the affair was a "drunken spree" (all being drunk) & the prisoners having been in the lock-up three days, the Magistrates discharged them with a caution.
