Historical interest
The pub is shown on this old OS map from about 1903 (interactive map)
Owner/operator: Adnams
Pleasant C18th inn with low beamed ceilings, snug, gardens and aviary, belying the position beside the busy A12. Excellent quality ale served from cooling cabinets behind the bar. Often a GBG entry.
