The Buck is an old half-timbered pub that reopened in Nov 2021. The bar serves beers supplied by nearby Stow Fen Brewery and Greene King. There is a main bar area with fireplace, a separate dining room and a large snug with comfortable seating and a huge fireplace. Refurbishment is ongoing in another room and a courtyard garden has been created. 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.
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.
