20 May 2012 (Philip Pirrip)
Last evening visit of a tour of the town. Only a few customers but a warm welcome and conversation about beer and the pub's aspirations to compete with The Fat Cat and The Dove Street Inn for choice and quality of real ales.

The pub is found in Ipswich, Suffolk, IP4 2EA.

A large roadhouse looking pub built in the 1930s to replace a previous building. A chequered history of ownership from Tolly Cobbold days and its later incarnations. Recently re-furbished and kitted out for significant choice of real ales via hand pump and from a separate floor level gravity stillage room. Family friendly including dogs and children. A well known Ipswich live music venue when the large L shaped bar has lots of space for music adoration. Located quite near the town centre in Woodbridge Road.

We have visited this pub once, seen 14 different beers and tried 2 of them.
