The Shannon reopened on June 30th under new management. Initially food will be available only from visiting trucks at the weekend; once the kitchen has been refurbished, food cooked onsite will become available.

Further information will be added to this page when available. In the meatime please contact the pub to confirm opening hours and food service times, if necessary.

The pub is named after Admiral Brooke's ship, which saw action against the Americans in the early 19th century.

Historic Interest

Originally 3 small shops. The 1904 Woodbridge licensing records show that the Shannon's license was issued in 1853. Whether this was when it was first licensed or when it got a full (ie not just beer) license isn't clear, though the latter seems more probable. A report in the Ipswich Journal** on 12 Oct in 1839 states that : Free Public House, The Shannon, Bucklesham, to be sold by private contract, with an old-established shop in the general trade, attached thereto, in the occupation of the Proprietor (not named) Photographs of this pub and more historical information about it can be found here
