The Duke welcomes you with open arms!!
The Duke of Marlborough is a 15th century community-owned village pub near Ipswich, in the pretty village of Somersham. Managed by husband and wife, Claire and Matt, who invite you to enjoy their warm welcome and the friendly atmosphere created by the wonderful team of staff and volunteers!
You can contact them by phone on 01473 831283 or email. You can also book a table online or walk-ins are welcome.
The Duke’s kitchen produces great value, hearty meals featuring many British pub classics - always see our SPECIALS BOARD for new dishes and Duke Favourites!! - and enjoy our wide range of drinks – in a building that has been welcoming people for nearly 500 years!
HAPPY HOURS - enjoy a range of selected drinks at a reduced price! - every week on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Sunday: 5 – 6pm
As you step inside, you’ll be greeted with warm smiles, beautiful oak beams and cosy nooks - including our lovely green snug! During the summer enjoy our lovely terrace, shaded by our beautiful Walnut tree - or get cosy by our two wood-burning fire stoves in the winter. We’re also fully dog-friendly, so bring your furry friend along for a walk in the countryside - and please help yourself to dog biscuits if you bring your best friend!
We serve award-winning traditional ales and craft beers: Victoria Bitter (Earl Soham) and Woodforde’s Wherry amber ale.
Enjoy our rotating selection of seasonal brews.
We offer keg beers, lagers, ciders - wines, spirits, liqueurs, cocktails, low & no-alcohol, and cordials.
Plus standard and premium lagers and ciders, including Aspall Cyder and Hawkstone.
We have Adnams Broadside, a strong ale brewed with East Anglian Malt.
We now keep Norfolk Rum, produced entirely in England by the Norfolk Spirit Company.
And have recently included Beyond the Firs, and Pintle pale ale, from the Burnt Mill Brewery, near Stowmarket, Suffolk - known for hazy, unfiltered styles with strong hop profiles.
