This highly popular and characterful pub is located quite close to the beach in this historical town which has mostly been lost to the North sea. The single bar has a strong nautical theme throughout whilst the rest of the building contains various seating areas for food including the conservatory. An outside seating area and enclosed garden located to rear. All food is traditional, locally sourced and includes fresh fish and a Sunday roast but can be very popular at weekends. Ten letting rooms are also now available for hire (including six lodges formed from conversion of outside stabling). Darts and board games still played on quieter evenings. Daily bus service + local "coastlink" taxi/bus service.

Built in the 18th century.

Note

The Barne family once lived at Shrubbery Hall and owned much land locally. They also once levied tax on coals landed on 6 miles of beach (3d per chaldron) and claimed small sums (fines and fees) for ship wrecks.

Local licensing authority for Dunwich is Suffolk Coastal

All information is presented here in good faith and believed to be correct at the time of writing.
The addresses of old pubs (numbers and sometimes even street names) may not always coincide with the building's current address (if it's still standing), as street names sometimes change, as do numbering schemes
