In the light of the government announcement of March 20th, all pubs are now closed until further notice.
Some of them may well still be offering a takeaway beer service and some others will also be selling food takeaways, perhaps even with delivery. If you can give any of our pubs some support through these terrible 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.

Orford Jolly Sailor
Real Ale is sold here.
Quay St, IP12 2NU
grid reference TM 424 496
A characterful five roomed pub close to the historic Quay and a large public car-park. The pub also offers accommodation (4 en-suite letting rooms). It also has an orchard. There's lots of character within this impressive old building which has undergone a significant but tasteful refurbishment.
Some steps initially lead down from the street level into the main bar. This links to small snug located behind the huge fireplace.
They allow dogs and are child friendly.
The building probably dates back to the 17th century.

To be sold at auction at Mr John Wades, the Jolly Sailor, in Orford, for the benefit of his creditors; 3 feather beds and bedding, 4 post tent and stump bedsteads, with check and other furniture, chest drawers, dressing tables, and swing glasses, mahogany dining and other tables, clock, rush and wooden bottom chairs, knives and forks, Prince&'s metal candlesticks, 30 gallon copper and copper irons, wash keelers, boilers and saucepans, glass, tin, and earthen ware, with general useful furniture.Ipswich Journal, July 1810**
The 1904 Woodbridge licensing records show that the Jolly Sailor's license was issued in 1860. Whether this was when it was first licensed or when it got a full (ie not just beer) license isn't clear, though the latter seems more probable.…
