<\/div>

Instantly recognisable by its Suffolk pink exterior <\/strong>and the iconic red phone box <\/strong>at the entrance, The Fox <\/strong>has been part of Deben Inns since 2004 and is a cherished village landmark. With a history stretching back generations, it has long welcomed locals, walkers, and families exploring the surrounding countryside. Known for quality without pretension<\/strong>, it has earned multiple accolades \u2014 including Suffolk Pub of the Year, recognition in the East of England section of the 2024 National Pub & Bar Awards, and again shortlisted for Suffolk in 2025.Step inside, and history is all around you. Old coins sunken into the beams <\/strong>reportedly left by soldiers during wartime to guarantee themselves a beer on their return, share space with the traditional dog friendly bar area and log burner<\/strong>, creating a warm, authentic atmosphere. A modern extension adds light and comfort without taking away the pub\u2019s historic character. In summer, the building is framed by iconic hanging baskets<\/strong>, and the large garden complete with pond and covered barn, becomes a lively hub for live music and gatherings. The kitchen serves exceptional Sunday roasts<\/strong>, homemade pizzas, and a changing selection of seasonal food specials, all made with care from locally sourced ingredients. A rolling selection real ales and local beers provide a refreshing reward after a dog walk in the surrounding countryside, including the Newbourne Springs walks<\/strong>. Open seven days a week with all-day dining<\/strong>, The Fox is a welcoming destination where village character, quirky history, and award-winning food come together a place that feels both timeless and alive.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
