In the light of the government announcement of March 20th, all pubs are now closed until further notice.
Some of them may well still be offering a takeaway beer service and some others will also be selling food takeaways, perhaps even with delivery. 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.

The address is from the 1909 Ashbocking rating records. Crown House (pictured) stands in the right spot. This was confirmed as the correct building by Eileen Plummer who was living here in 2014.
The small extension to the right of the building used to be a shop.
