A Suffolk flint building dating back to the late 1700s or early 1800s, the pub has been sympathetically restored in recent years and takes pride of place in the centre of the village next to Pakenham Stream - which eventually feeds the river Blackbourne.
The Fox is a privately owned Free House, it offers a range of local real ales, spirits and ciders, alongside recognisable global and national brands, with a selection of over 35 gins, an extensive wine list from new and old world producers, six hand pulls, and 5 other taps, coupled with both traditional pub food and occasionally something a little different.
With a cosy bar area, two restaurant areas and a snug, inside the pub offers plenty of comfortable areas to enjoy drinks and food, and their amazing garden creates a stunning space to enjoy drinks in the warmer months.

The White Horse is located in Whepstead, a small village just 5 miles away from Bury St Edmunds.
Not too far from the popular National Trust property Ickworth House. The rural location of our pub means that when the sun is out, their large secure garden is lovely to have a refreshing beer whilst the kids can run around and use the outdoor play area.
The White Horse inn was built in the 17th century as a farmhouse, the architectural details suggest it was built in the early 1600's, maybe as early as circa 1600.
The Suffolk Record Office shows that the White Horse was run as a ale house from 1844, although this does not mean it was not run as one before this. We do know that inquests were held at The White Horse as well as ale being sold!
