A single bar that serves two Adnams beers on a regular basis and occasionally a third. There is a separate restaurant area to complement the seating in the bar. Outside there is a large garden and patio area. Accommodation is available in rooms on a B&B basis and touring caravans can also be accommodated on-site. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served each day. At one time, it was said that the bells of five churches could be heard from its location.

Historic Interest

The licensing magistrates were evidently a bit confused about the pub in 1879 - they licensed it as the Eight Bells! Photographs of this pub and more historical information about it can be found at suffolk.camra.org.uk/pub/860
