Welcome

Sitting just off the A12, the pub is tucked into the heart of the Suffolk farming community and just a few miles from the coast within easy reach of Southwold. On approaching The Plough, you’d be mistaken for thinking it was a small rural pub.  Once inside, the pub opens out to offer a big characterful bar – the old, original part of the building – a snug for drinks, and a dining room too. At the back of the pub, there is a vast garden with children’s play area. It has 5 cabin-style rooms, plus a five pitch caravan site. At the Plough, we pride ourselves on delivering delicious, local food and drink at a good value price. We welcome all members of the family, dogs included.
