bar / diner
owner/operator: Greene King
Large red brick pub on far side of green close to entrance to Kentwell Hall. Retains four rooms around a central bar & offers home cooked food. A first floor function room is free to hire during normal opening hours. It’s a perfect space for meetings and family gatherings and has a private bar.
A late 18th or early 19th century façade covers a much older building. The pub is known to date back at least to 1793, when the Bury & Norwich Post reported the sale of farmland taking place on the premises. A Victorian brewery was once located here.
