This historic pub is situated close to Ipswich Waterfront (and to other, often maritime related, historic buildings).

Up to five cask ales may be served (through an unusual gravity dispense system which is incorporated into a row of old wooden casks) of which at least one is usually from Adnams (with others from small independent East Anglian breweries).

It is popular for its beer and food, and reservations may be advisable for Sunday roasts and at other busier meal times.

The pub is a Grade II Listed Building. It retains, for example, a half timbered front with dormer windows and was originally two timber-framed cottages.

The pub hold regular events such as quiz nights. Please see its website and/or Facebook page for further details.

Since mid-2017 the pub has been under the same management as the well-regarded Manningtree Red Lion.
