In the light of the government announcement of March 20th, all pubs are now closed until further notice.
However, a number of pubs are providing takeaway food and/or drinks during the lockdown. 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 of possible if they're going to still be there for us when the crisis is over.

Eliza Akins, 15, servant to Samuel Levitt, landlord of the Shepherd and Dog, Foxhall was charged in November 1860 with stealing copper and other coins from the drawer of the pub. Levitt had often missed coins from his drawer and therefore searched her room, finding coins, to the value of 4s 6d, between her mattress and bed. She pleaded guilty and received six weeks hard labour. Ipswich Journal, November 1860**
The 1904 Woodbridge licensing records show that the Shepherd & dog's license was issued in 1855. Whether this was when it was first licensed or when it got a full (ie not just beer) license isn't clear, though the latter seems more probable.
