The pub is adjacent to bus station, close to town centre and near to the river Waveney, so it is handy for visitors to the Broads. Reopened under new management April 15th 2022. There is a central bar area and a side room and a separate dining area, which doubles as a function room. A paved garden is at the rear and tables are set out in front of the pub in warmer months.
