About

Punch Bowl Inn

Sitting in the small village of Battisford Tye near Stowmarket, the Punch Bowl Inn holds a notable place as the first community-managed pub in Suffolk, opening under that model in April 2011. It is run by a mix of paid and volunteer staff, serving a selection of beers, wines, and a full restaurant menu that runs to steaks, grills, and vegetarian options. Monthly events include quiz nights, acoustic evenings, and a spice night, alongside regular live music and darts matches.
