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.
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 pub is shown on this old OS map from about 1902 (interactive map)
According to A Survey of Suffolk Parish History, the pub is believed to have been licensed since about 1745, when it was known as the Cliff Inn.
It appears on the 1838 OS map as the Bush Inn.
The 1904 Woodbridge licensing records show that the Maybush's license was issued in 1803.
Daniel Button, landlord of the Bush Inn, at Waldringfield, was found guilty of having kept his house open and allowing persons to assemble and drink therein during the usual hours of Divine Service on Sunday 12th July 1835…
