A town centre pub with a historic façade but a heavily altered interior. It is a popular venue for live sport on TV and music (live or DJs) at weekends, and has a typical Greene King food provision. Beers are generally from the Greene King Portfolio. Opening and food service times may change from time to time (e.g. seasonally) and should be checked with the pub's website (or directly with the pub) if appropriate. The pub was refurbished in 2025. It is nevertheless one of Ipswich's most ancient pubs; one of only 24 to appear on a town assessment of 1689. It appears that it was formerly far more extensive than the current building. The pub has a toilet for disabled customers.
