Pubs, Bars & Inns

An invitingly traditional pub with a fine local reputation for its creative and local food, relaxed eat-al fresco wood-fired pizza kitchen and locally brewed beers. Often still referred to as The Station Hotel, it has been run as a pub since the 1950s (no rooms to let), but the building’s origins date back to the 19th century when it was a part of the local railway system. Look out for its foodie events and beer festivals. Taylor Swift was once spotted here in the company of Ed Sheeran.

Charming 16th century coaching inn steeped in history, with exposed beams, wonky walls and squeaky floors. What’s more, the family-run Crown Hotel couldn’t be more at the heart of the community if it tried! Stay looking out over Market Hill perhaps, relax over a drink or bite to eat in the well-stocked bar, lounge or restaurant. Bedrooms are all individually styled; winter evenings see the fires lit in the lounge; there’s a function room for private dining or larger occasions, and outside tables for fine weather al fresco moments too. Definitely dog-friendly.

Standing on a very historic spot at the entrance to Framlingham Castle, The Castle Inn is wonderfully located – a place to refresh, reflect and drink in the history. Beers include local Adnams Ales and Aspall Ciders, plus guest beers. There’s a tempting menu, welcoming atmosphere and live sport for those who just can’t miss that match! Function room for meetings / parties (up to 20-30 people). Child-friendly and dog-friendly.

Beviamo Bar is a relaxed drinking and dining experience in the heart of Framlingham, serving a range of delicious sourdough pizzas, snacks, hot and cold drinks, cocktails, wines and spirits. Ideal for a spot of al fresco dining in summer or an informal get-together over a drink and light-bite at any time of year. Part of Watson & Walpole – Neighbourhood Italian.

A traditional, family-run and dog-friendly pub with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, serving real ales and all the regular favourites. Look out for frequent event nights and visiting food truck nights, from local fish and chips to more exotic foodie treats. As well as the large beer garden, complete with garden bar and Pétanque pitch, there’s a games room with live sport, pool table and darts. Function rooms for private hire also available. Catering available.
