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.
Update: pubs which are known to have reopened are now also listed. Please let Tony know if you know of pubs not listed that have reopened.
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.

The building dates from the early 19th century. After a period of closure the pub reopened in August 2010 as a restaurant with a bar, but finally closed for good mid-2012.
Historically it is often listed in Long Melford, as the hamlet of Bridge Street is partly in that parish.
It can be seen here on an old OS map from about the end of the 19th century. interactive map
