This Pub is Permanently Closed

Tastefully decorated bar which can be difficult to find; Entertainer Doc Cox once claimed that he got within two miles & the lady on his sat-nav burst into tears. Occasional live music. Opens Bank Holiday Mondays and closes on Tuesdays of same week. Photographs of this pub and more historical information about it can be found at suffolkcamra.co.uk/pubs/pub/223

Historic Interest

Pub was originally a shop & slaughterhouse & then later an off-license. One previous landlord, Graham (late 1980s & 90s) used to hold annual beach parties at pub with several tons of sand covering car-park for a weekend & on occasions a large inflatable octopus sitting on the pub roof. Inside at that time a large display of stuffed birds & animals were on display plus spiders which were suspended from the ceiling & were likely to join customers at their tables on occasions.
