About the Pub
Long term regular, Toby Joseph, having purchased it from a pubco, has carried out some essential repairs and sympathetic redecoration that retains the pub's charm. Recent refurbishment include B&B accommodation and new toilets, allowing a modest expansion of the bar area. The garden has also been extended with additional terrace and seating.
Real ales are from Adnam's, Woodforde's, Elgood's and other East Anglian brewers. A third hand pump was added in January 2016. Adnam's dry-hopped larger is the first lager to be available here for many years. Aspall's Harry Sparrow cider is on draught. Soup, sandwiches and hearty, home-cooked food are available all day. Children welcome. Credit cards are now accepted.
Historic Interest
Built in 1893 over the cellar of the 1767 original that was lost in a fire. It is listed on the National Inventory as having a historic pub interior of regional importance. The pub name is believed to commemorate the landing of a hot air balloon nearby in 1785. This being celebrated on pictures inside the pub.
