Pubs

As soon as the Cobbold family starting brewing they started to buy pubs. As the company expanded the tied estate became larger - by 1983 the company owned 343 pubs.

In 1990 after the collapse of Brent Walker the brewing and pub operations became split with the pubs becoming owned by a new pubco - Pubmaster.

We aim to list all the pubs that have been owned, at some time, by Tollemache and Cobbold and attempt to document at least some of their histories. The table below currently features the pubs listed in agreements of 1924 and 1961. This will be augmented in due course with later dates (1972 and 1983) and, hopefully, earlier ones too.

Although there are little bits and pieces of Tolly Cobbold pub history scattered about there is no real central resource and it has been an uphill struggle just preparing this list. If you have an interest I would recommend contacting the Suffolk Record Office who have holdings on a few pubs and helpful staff. If your pub research is confined to Suffolk then your first stop should be The Suffolk Real Ale Guide - an absolutely superb source of information on closed pubs as well as open ones compiled by Suffolk CAMRA and the Suffolk Pub History Group.
