The St (A1120), IP13 7RL
grid reference TM 229 630
owner/operator: Earl Soham
A splendid traditional pub, set back from road behind a small green, which although recently refurbished retains much character. Simple wood furnishings, candles on scrubbed tables, bare floorboards and a large fireplace (recently fitted with a wood-burner) provide an effective back-drop to the excellent beer that was once brewed behind the pub, but which is now brewed in Debenham (a couple of miles away).
Home made, good value meals are available from a very varied menu at both lunchtimes & evenings (see chalkboards). The pub can get busy, especially at weekends, but is definitely worth a visit.
There's occasional live music. Poker dice is played.

Historical interest
Originally only licensed as a beerhouse, the Victoria wasn't fully licensed until March 19th 1952.
Emma Louisa Fairweather was found guilty of theft and Messers William Baldry and Curtis Capon guilty of receiving stolen goods. Both Mrs Emeny of the (Victoria) beerhouse and Mosely of the Falcon had witnessed transactions taking place in their houses.Ipswich Journal, April 9th 1881** (when Mrs Emeny was the landlady)
