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.

At a Petty Sessions hearing on 29 September 1860 the 'Station Hotel opposite the new railway station' was refused a new spirit licence. Out of the twenty four applications only three establishments were granted licences.
An extension of one hour on Friday evening was granted to Mr Dixon at the Station Hotel on the occasion of the Railway employees' dinner.Ipswich Journal, January 1880**
It was renamed the Riverside Hotel in November 2011, but reverted to the Station Hotel name in June 2015.
