A town centre pub with a historic façade but a heavily altered interior. It is a popular venue for live sport on TV and music (live or DJs) at weekends, and has a typical Greene King food provision.

Beers are generally from the Greene King Portfolio.

Opening and food service times may change from time to time (e.g. seasonally) and should be checked with the pub's website (or directly with the pub) if appropriate.

The pub was refurbished in 2025. It is nevertheless one of Ipswich's most ancient pubs; one of only 24 to appear on a town assessment of 1689. It appears that it was formerly far more extensive than the current building.

The pub has a toilet for disabled customers.

Historic Interest

Listed in Brook st in 1830 A report in the Ipswich Journal** on 23 Oct in 1883 states that : On Tuesday morning (16 Oct 1883) one of the Ipswich borough police succeeded in pluckily capturing a burglar in flagrente delicto, at the Cock & Pie Inn, Brook Street. PC Osborne, passing the Inn, noticed a bright light in the front bar, when he tried the front door, it was open...The first object to meet his gaze was an artilleryman...(a long struggle ensued)...it was not until (the thief) received a blow from the constable's truncheon, that the...handcuffs were attached...Mr FLOOD, the Landlord was then aroused...he hurried downstairs armed with a life-saver & a dagger, anxiously requesting to see the thief. The soldier, who gave his name as Henry Lambert of The Royal Artillery, stationed in the Town...stated that he had some drink on Monday night & remembers nothing which happened after that. Photographs of this pub and more historical information about it can be found here
