Owner/operator: Greene King
Airy comfortable lounge and public bar/games area offering good, reasonably priced ale. If only the landlord's taste in football teams was as good! A cask breather may very rarely be used on low turnover beer.

The Ipswich licensing record shows a license being issued to developers for a pub at the "corner of Nacton Road and Ransomes Way" on February 7th 1977. Unless there's been another pub here, this must have been the Thrasher.
