Royal William, Stowmarket

53 Union St East, Stowmarket, IP14 1HP (View on Google Map)
No website available

A rare example of a back-street pub that is a former beer house and has only had a full license since 1962.

Tucked away, but located quite close to the nearby railway station with its magnificent early Victorian facade.

All beer is served on gravity from a small temperature controlled room behind the bar. Up to twelve beers are available, see slates hanging over bar. Also up to ten ciders are available during the summer months (ask for more details).

Hot and cold snacks are always available. The pub has two darts teams and a cribbage team.

Friendly locals and good conversation are the order of the day. Treasure it, there are few left like it.

This small Victorian back street locals pub was last changed in the early 1960s when a small portion of wall was removed so the two room plan became just one. The bar counter dates from c.1960 but the bar back with its illuminated panel 'Amy's Bar' could date from the 1950s. The walls have old dado panelling and around the room are leatherette covered old seating. Cask ale is still served in the traditional way of being fetched from the cellar.
