opened 17th century
Taken over in May 2026 by Alex Rotherham and his wife, building on the success of the Bay Tree café in Bury St Edmunds. A rotating line-up of Suffolk ales kept properly, plus crisp lagers and a couple of guest taps. Pub food with a Canadian twist.
Originally a 17th century farmhouse, the pub is set some distance away from the main village settlement.
