A wide range of beers on gravity is always available from the tap room and home-cooked food is is served both in the bar and an adjoining dining room. The menu offers all home cooked food including some game dishes. There's occasional live music (on Sundays) and special themed nights.
Outdoor seating is also available to the front and side of the pub, including a small heated area for smokers. There's also a rose garden.
There's a toilet for disabled customers.
The pub won best country / village pub two years running.
There's been an inn on this site since at least 1620, when it was a coaching inn.
At one time when the Ipswich and East Suffolk branch of Camra held a meeting here, the editor of What's Brewing misunderstood the details, so the magazine announced a meeting at the Swill and Half Moon.
