About the Pub

A few facts about the Sweffling White Horse

The pub was opened in 2011 by Marie and Mark after having been vacant for 8 years.
It is one of very few remaining pubs with no bar where ale is poured straight from the cask from the taproom behind the kitchen.
The owners are proud to serve cask conditioned real ale in the traditional way i.e. directly from the cask. No keg beer is served though bottled beer is available.
The pub was the East Anglia CAMRA Pub of the Year in 2015.
It was also the Ipswich & East Suffolk CAMRA Pub of the Year in 2022, 2021, 2017, 2016 & 2015 as well as Suffolk CAMRA Pub of the Year in 2022 & 2015
The owners are proud to use locally sourced products, with the beer mostly coming from Suffolk and adjoining counties.
The pub is heated entirely by wood, a renewable source of energy, and so has a cosy feel. The public bar has a wood-fired range cooker and the lounge has a wood burning stove.
Outside there is a very attractive beer garden which is partially covered and can comfortably seat 42 people.
There is a self-contained adjoining cottage (Badger Cottage) currently used as holiday accommodation and two residential rentals above the pub which could be available for lease.
The Sweffling White Horse is most definitely a community pub and has that welcoming, friendly atmosphere.
Many community events are held by the pub, including Book Club, Chess Club, Knit & Natter, monthly Community Walks, Quiz Nights, Community Suppers, Open Mic Night and Live Music Nights.
