This Pub is Temporarily Closed

The Elephant and Castle was originally a private house (built about 1650) which was converted into a pub in 1715.

The pub still retains two separate bar areas and is popular with locals. Both bars have a wood-burner fitted and have exposed beams. The pub has wooden floors, and local photographs adorn the walls. There are three beers on hand pump and proper pub food. The pub holds occasional quiz nights. There's no food lunchtimes except Sunday. There are themed food evenings and a meat raffle every Friday. Sky sport TV can be watched in the main bar.

The pub closed in September 2017 following the sad deaths of both of the couple running it within a couple of weeks.

When visited in March 2022, all signage was gone and the building appeared to be in use as a home, so we fear it won't return as a pub.

Historic Interest

Originally a house (built circa 1650) which was converted into a pub in 1715. In September 2012 it was bought by a London couple, Ian & Sandra, who relocated here & have renovated the pub. Photographs of this pub and more historical information about it can be found at suffolk.camra.org.uk/pub/268
