This distinctive two bar pub is located close to the reservoir on a former main road which is now just a cul-de-sac and is a popular start/ending point for local walks.
Both bars have exposed timber frame throughout. The refurbished public bar also has a large open fire, whilst the restaurant bar is larger and incorporates a wood burner. Various meal deals are offered during the week.
Terrestrial sport is shown on TV. All toilets are still located outside in a separate building. Acoustic music sessions (folk or buskers) on the 1st & 3rd Sunday of every month.
The statue of a white horse (Grade II Listed, as is the pub) located just outside this pub once stood outside the Great White Horse Hotel in Ipswich. It was badly damaged in the gales of early 2008 & was restored in August.
The building dates from the 17th century, possibly earlier.
