A sympathetically refurbished thatched 14th century building on the A1141 road to Lavenham. A large long bar is divided by a chimney breast into two areas. In addition there is a separate large conservatory dining area. The bar area features an exposed crown post and many original beams from 1350. Good value meals are served and speciality food nights held. Fabulous views from hilltop beer garden.

Historic Interest

A report in the Ipswich Journal** on Mar-29 in 1873 when Thomas Bantock was the landlord states that : "Walter Game 17, who had been drinking in the Horseshoes got into a fight after closing time. He drew a knife & stabbed James Rampling & was later arressted & charged with malicious wounding. At the trial he was found guilty, the judge was greatly concerned with the rise of knife crime. He believed the only way to stop this type crime was to impose heavy sentences, he sentenced Game to 15 months hard labour." Photographs of this pub and more historical information about it can be found at suffolk.camra.org.uk/pub/210
