Welcome to The Sorrel Horse, your traditional village pub in Barham, Suffolk. Just outside Claydon and a short drive from Ipswich, our family-friendly pub offers a warm welcome, hearty food, and comfortable accommodation — all set in a beautiful Grade II listed building. Now under the care of new owners Neil and Kate Jackson, The Sorrel Horse proudly continues a 38-year legacy as a much-loved independent freehouse.


Whether you're looking for a pub with a beer garden near Ipswich, a cosy restaurant for traditional English food, or modern pub accommodation in Suffolk, you'll find it here. Our menu features classic British pub favourites, homemade dishes, and daily-changing specials made from fresh, quality ingredients. We cater to a range of dietary needs and offer options for children too.

In the summer months, our extensive garden is the perfect place to relax with a drink or meal, and the large children's play area makes us a great spot for families. For those looking to stay a little longer, our self-contained accommodation offers a comfortable and convenient base for exploring the Suffolk countryside or visiting nearby Ipswich.


The Sorrel Horse is also an ideal venue for celebrations and events. Whether it’s a small gathering or a larger party, we can seat up to 60 guests in our restaurant and over 100 throughout the pub. With friendly service, great food, and a welcoming atmosphere, we’re proud to be Barham’s go-to pub for locals and visitors alike.


We look forward to welcoming you soon to The Sorrel Horse — a true Suffolk gem for food, drinks, family time, and unforgettable gatherings.
