Only locations with Real Ale pubs

Although the government has now allowed pubs to reopen, many are still unable to do so safely, while most if not all are only able to accommodate limited numbers of customers. Many of them are still reliant on providing takeaway food and/or drinks. 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 as possible if they're going to still be there for us when the crisis is over.

Yarmouth Rd, IP12 1QB

grid reference TM 283 506

Now residential and called Thomas Churchyard House, this was a coaching inn in middle of the village.

The building dates from the 18th century, with a 19th century façade.

Years of neglect saw both the kitchen and the letting rooms fall below standard. In the pub's last two years a succession of tenants came and went. No purchasers came forward, so the doors closed for the last time in December 2009.

Curiously, the OS map from about 1904 seems to point at the building to the right of the one known to have been the pub; could the license have moved at some point?

The pub is shown on this old OS map from about 1904. interactive map
