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.…
