See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.
Under new management since August 2022. 3 Cask Ales changing most months. Renovation is ongoing and the carpark has been replaced with the beginnings of a beer garden. No juke box or fruit machines, just a traditional country pub with a real fire, sofas, board games and in the back a pool table (pool free with your drink on Tuesdays, pool team practice on Sundays). There is also a dartboard and TV but they are also in the back. Hot food is served everyday. The pub offers gaming areas and various seating areas including an outside patio. There's often live music at weekends. Although the building has been a pub "only" since about 1689, it was standing for some time before that; historians believe that Thomas Wolsey was born here or close to here in approximately 1473. It is believed to be the oldest pub of this name in East Anglia.
