Historic Interior

This Pub is Closed Long Term

A listener from the village speaking to Lesley Dolphin on Radio Suffolk today (14 Nov 16) told her that the pub has been closed and empty for some time. Apparently there *is* some hope of it reopening, though she had no details.

This traditional pub is situated on attractive village green. Easy to miss from A1101 as it is neatly tucked away behind the church (but does have signs on main road). Recently became "ex Greene King" so a more adventurous beer range is likely to develop. Village is quiet so most trade is passing but folk nights & Morris dancing in summer are popular. Close to local attractions at Lackford Lakes (RSPB) & West Stow Country Park with its replica Saxon village so good for a post visit pint! Folk night first Tuesday of the month. Built late 18th or early 19th century.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: II

UPDATE 2020.

Closed in 2016. Was put on the market - ACV activated but no bid made by locals. West Suffolk Council's ACV records show "No application to bid - property now to be sold on the open market without restriction."

It appears the property has been sold, There are no indications of the intention of new owners as no recent planning applications.

The description when it closed is shown below. The accompanying photographs show the interior as a pub.

Late 18th century village pub which was substantially altered around.1960, when a former cottage on the right was incorporated into the pub, but has changed little since. The present public bar (two small rooms prior to 1960) has a quarry tiled floor, bar counter, bar back with illuminated panel at the top and fireplace, all from the 1960s. The off sales hatch installed at that time is still there. The lounge has another 1960s bar back, but the curved bar counter is more modern. A small dining room beyond has a 1960s fireplace. On the left of the public bar is a separate pool room with a 1930/1950s brick fireplace and some 1960s seating moved from the bar.
