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 pub is shown (as the White Swan) on this old OS map from about 1903 (interactive map)
To be sold by auction, under the trustees of Mr Jonathan Rodwell, the substantial, highly respectable, well accustomed freehold Inn, called the Swan, most advantageously situated in the centre of the populous village of Fressingfield, at the junction of the roads leading from Yoxford, Woodbridge, Framlingham and Stradbroke to Harleston, and Norwich; with convenient stables, coach houses, brew house, offices, yards and gardens attached. The premises are in excellent repair, possession may be immediately had, and the stock in trade and fixtures can be taken at valuation.Ipswich Journal, April 1845**
