A large, open plan, single bar pub serving consistently good beer. It's situated just over half a mile from the centre of nearby Stowmarket. For fine weather drinking, the beer garden is located beside a small stream (the River Rat).

It is a sister pub to the Dove Street Inn in Ipswich with a joint loyalty card scheme for draught beers.

As well as a range of up to eight cask beers plus a range craft keg ales, there are four or five ciders and a wide range of lagers, imported foreign beers and whiskies. Cask beers are served through hand-pumps.

There is no food offer except bar snacks (crisps, nuts etc) but the pub is happy for takeaways to be brought in. Car parking on-site is very limited; only a couple of spaces.

Online beer list is available at Untappd.

There is regular live music, especially at weekends, and other occasional events are held. Please see the pub's Facebook page for current details.

Sky Sports and TNT Sport are shown.

There is a toilet accessible to disabled customers.
