See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.

Recently reopened with a new restaurant menu also available. There is a bar called Bugs Bar at the left-hand side of the hotel. Meal deals are available on a daily basis. This establishment is family-oriented with a lively bar. It was once a calling house for pilgrims on their way to Bury St Edmunds and was previously called the Bull Inn; it is believed to have once been named Boule House. The original name may have derived from John Bull who owned e pub in 1566 or from monastic seals i.e. a reference to a lead seal attached to a papal edict. Alternatively, bull baiting was also a popular local "sport" and may have once been practised nearby at about that time.
