18 High Street, Saxmundham, IP17 1DD (View on Google Map)
No website available

Situated on part of the ground floor of the former White Hart pub and hotel, the entrance is at the rear of the building via several steps.

As at November 2026 cask ale may not always be available. Visitors may wish to check with the pub if appropriate.

There are several keg lines, which may include a German lager and some craft ales (sometimes from Burnt Mill, DEYA, Duration, Pretty Decent, Stump Rat or Verdant), plus cans and bottles. These are often decribed on the Facebook page.

Opening hours may vary as the business develops and visitors may wish to confirm them with the pub.

The bar consists of a single room, with a large bay window and fireplace.

The décor inside the bar consists of a mix of partially exposed brickwork with white walls, wooden flooring and bare electric lights, whilst wooden topped tables and metal chairs provide seating with additional high seats by the bay window.

The bar is proving to be popular with a wide range of clientele and with its intention to act as a community hub.

Historic Interest

The building originally dates from the late 17th century but was extensively changed during the 19th and 20th centuries, the White Hart having finally closed in 2013.
