In the light of the government announcement of March 20th, all pubs are now closed until further notice.

However, a number of pubs are providing takeaway food and/or drinks during the lockdown. Some offer deliveries, while others are selling from the premises. This page lists details of those we know about.

If you can give any of our pubs some support through these terrible times by buying some takeaway food or drink, please do so. Our pubs need as much support of possible if they're going to still be there for us when the crisis is over.

A Tudor residence converted to an inn in the early 18th century. It was used extensively by drovers and cattle-dealers after the old cattle market took over a nearby site used previously as a Timber Market.

The building dates from the 16th century, with many subsequent alterations.

These premises were listed in the 1844 White's Directory with carriers operating from the inn to Diss.

In the late 1880s, the building was much reduced in size when Dog's Head Street was widened and straightened for trams.

For many years after closing it was used as an antique shop by Mr Silburn and others.

In modern times it was a book shop for a long time, before falling empty for many years, only being renovated and re-opened as a shop in the early-2010s. At the end of 2016, it's again empty and on the market.
