THE THOMAS WOLSEY
FREE HOUSE
About us
Our historic building, dating back to the 17th century, is perfect place to come and enjoy live music and enjoy a catch-up with friends. We pride ourselves on providing a welcoming, grown up, cosy and fun environment.
In September 2011, the pub was renamed The Thomas Wolsey, converting our Grade 2 listed building into a spacious two-storey bar space.
We are known for offering well-kept real ales, primarily sourced from breweries in East Anglia, and a wide selection of other tipples to cater for everyone’s tastes.
Come and enjoy our chilled, and cozy and grown up vibe where the conversation flows.
Courtyard
Our heated 16th century courtyard is a perfect place for after work drinks, a relaxing Sunday afternoon pint with friends or G+Ts with the girls.
Spacious and atmospheric
Come on the Blues
We are well loved and popular Premier league Ipswich Town home fan pub. Come and enjoy the atmosphere before and after all the games.
Cozy spaces
Our two charming and large drawing rooms, located above the main bar, offer a perfect blend of relaxation and rich Tudor history. Ideal for unwinding or hosting social events, these spaces provide a unique and inviting setting for any occasion.
Fresh Italian food
We have partnered with our neighbour Tavernetta to deliver fresh, homemade Italian food directly to your table.
