A historic pub in a tiny hamlet on the bank of River Orwell, with three separate rooms and a connecting corridor with flag-stoned floors (in part). This famous pub retains some high backed settles and a large open fire in main bar area making it very cosy on cold winter days. The pub has a toilet for disabled customers. It was first recorded as public house in 1553, though it may be older. (The Listed Buildings Register says the building's 17th century so presumably there was an earlier building?) Best to prebook if you wish to eat as it is often very busy [can be exceptionally so in Summer or at weekends]. It has long been renowned for a traditional food menu with a number of fish dishes. The pub has featured in films and once in TV's Lovejoy (as 'The Three Ducks'!). Car Park free for 3 hours when using pub.

Part of the locally based Deben Inns family group of pub restaurants.
