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.

Trimley St Mary Mariners Free House
formerly Mariners Inn, New Inn, Three Mariners
Real Ale is sold here.
193 High Rd, IP11 0TN
grid reference TM 276 369
Freehouse, privately owned.
The building dates from the late 18th century. The pub was originally a wooden hut on another site (possibly Gaymer's Lane). The name was changed from the New Inn to remember Thomas Cavendish, who was born in Trimley St Martin and was the first man to command a ship that deliberately circumnavigated the world (previous circumnavigators had done so accidentally). It was apparently renamed to celebrate his return to Trimley from his circumnavigation.
It was renamed from the Three Mariners to the Mariners Free House in September 2015, when it passed into new ownership.

A reference apears in the Ipswich Journal, September 7th 1728*** to Hunter? Cooper at the Three Mariners in Trimly
The 1904 Woodbridge licensing records show that the Three Mariners' full license was issued in 1853. Prior to that it was probably just a beerhouse.
Apparently the current building isn't the original one; it's thought that it used to stand "on the High Road near Station Road". The license probably moved after the original building was burned down.
Up until the Second World War, the pub's sign was a lifebelt hanging from a jacket.
