A substantial single bar pub built in 1913 to replace an earlier building destroyed by fire.

The large garden leads down to the river Deben and provides an excellent location to spend some time on sunny days.

For the first few weeks after reopening it will be drinks only, with food following after that, and accommodation will become available later on.

Footnote

The Chequers sign is an ancient sign probably brought to England by the Romans. Later the sign became associated with a money table e.g. an exchequer or type of chessboard. Some pubs displayed the sign to indicate that they would change money or acted as bankers in some way.
