Although the government has now allowed pubs to reopen, many are still unable to do so safely, while most if not all are only able to accommodate limited numbers of customers. Many of them are still reliant on providing takeaway food and/or drinks. 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 difficult times by buying some takeaway food or drink, please do so. Our pubs need as much support as possible if they're going to still be there for us when the crisis is over.

The Buck is an old half-timbered pub that was refurbished in 1999 and its bar includes many curios. Next door to the pub is the Norfolk and Suffolk Aviation Museum, which is located on land supplied by a former owner of the pub. A curiosity is that Alan Breeze, one-time singer with the Billy Cotton Band, was landlord here for many years. A photograph of him behind the bar can be found at alanbreeze.com.
The car park also provides access to the Norfolk & Suffolk aviation museum with about 40 aircraft and various associated artefacts including details on USAAF & RAF Bomber Command groups and a ROC display from the former 6th (Norwich) group.

The 1861 & 1871 censuses show the pub next to, or near, the Old Buck, which might suggest that the pub had relocated before 1861.
The pub was refurbished in 1999.
