Small homely pub, deservedly popular for its good quality ale and food.
Beers: Adnams Bitter, Broadside, Tally Ho; Morland Old Speckled Hen.CAMRA's 1997 Suffolk Real Ale Guide
A reference appears in the Ipswich Journal, September 14th 1728*** to the Greyhound in Framsden.
Steve Podd reports: 1736 Tollemache archive: ‘a messuage in Framsden known by the sign of the Greyhound’; 1784 Tollemache archive: The Greyhound; 1803 estate map: ‘The Dog’; 1840 tithe map: ‘The Greyhound Inn’. A Cobbold house in 1840. I suspect it was never actually called the ‘Dog’; more likely that the map surveyor saw a sign, but either couldn’t recognise the breed, or out of laziness just recorded it as the ‘Dog’.
