Originally called the Horse and Groom and on the northern edge of town, this is Bungay's only brewpub and the home of the Green Dragon brewery with ales created in outbuildings adjacent to the car park at the rear of the property. The pub is popular and a regular in the Guide. It has a public bar and a separate spacious lounge with a side room where families are welcome leading to a small enclosed garden surrounded by a hop hedge. Food generally available Thu-Sat only.

Historic Interest

Called Horse & Groom before 1991. A report in the Ipswich Journal** in Apr 1850 states that : Died on the 11th, at Bungay, sincerely regretted, aged 69, Mr Issac Sadd, late landlord of the Horse & Groom.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

Late Victorian pub refitted in the 1930s, with the layout from that time still clearly visible. The quarry-tiled Bar retains its inter-war counter, bar-back and fixed seating in the bay window. The Smoke Room also has its 1930s counter though, as in the Bar, it has been re-fronted, albeit in sympathetic style. The bar-back and wood-surround fireplace are of similar vintage. A third room on the rignt has come into use more recently. The door on the left-hand side of the pub led to an off-sales through a door on the right but this is no longer open. The pub brews its own beers.

General information about historic pub interiors

Late 19th century pub refitted in the 1930s and still retaining a good number of fittings from that date. The original layout of Bar, Smoke Room and Off Sales is clearly visible. The door on the left hand side of the pub and passage at rear left led to the off sales, which was through a door on the right - no longer in use. The red quarry tiled floor bar retains its 1930s bar counter, bar back and fixed seating in the bay window - the front door has a 'Bar' leaded panel. The Smoke Room (also in its front door panel) also retains its bar counter and bar back, the wood surround fireplace is of similar vintage. The third room on the right has been brought into use. In 1991 a brewery was installed in the outbuildings - its beers are only available in this pub and beer festivals.
