In the light of the government announcement of March 20th, all pubs are now closed until further notice.
However, a number of pubs are providing takeaway food and/or drinks during the lockdown. 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 of possible if they're going to still be there for us when the crisis is over.

The pub was sold, in part, by John Aldrich (an Ipswich merchant) to John Cobbold in 1805.
On the 2nd November 1825 an inquest was held on the body of Benjamin Batley, landlord of the Crown Inn, Stowupland. On the 31st of October he had gone to the house of William Baker, a carrier at Stowupland, to collect 2 parcels. He went into the house to pay, apparently in good health, sat down and in less than 2 minutes was seized by a fit and instantly expired. The verdict was to that effect.Ipswich Journal, November 1825**
