Directions

You want to visit - You have this in

This unspoilt, 17th century house is sited near to the River Deben and is popular with walkers. The owners pride themselves on their fresh, home-cooked fare, which is invariably locally sourced. It's child friendly.

Beers are served direct from the cask.

The pub has a calendar full of events throughout the year, many of them taking place upon the adjacent meadow.

A micrcobrewery (Uffa Brewery) was installed in 2011, with production starting late May of that year. It's currently mothballed until a new brewer can be recruited.

Note that the stated opening hours may vary from time to time due to private functions or events.

Under new management during the summer of 2023, so some of these details may have changed (though opening hours are up to date).

Historic Interest

Historically may be listed as the Lion hotel (in 1912 & 1922). The earliest known reference to the pub is in 1618, when it was sold by Francis Ballett for £180. In Apr/May 1982 edition of Last Orders*** it was reported that landlord Mr Chilvers had died & also that Mrs Chilvers will stay at the pub for next 12 months.
