A pub in a village near Ipswich could soon reopen after interest has been shown for a new landlord to take over the pub.

The Wild Man in Bramford Road in Sproughton could soon undergo a major refurbishment ahead of reopening with interest shown in the pub.

The pub has been closed since January 2020 when the previous owners stepped down.

Since it closed its doors, the pub has been on the market, with interest shown in the past but nothing materialising.

Now, Star Pubs, the pub management company, has said that six years on, a solution could be coming.

A spokesman for Star Pubs, said: “We can confirm that there is someone who is interested in taking on The Wild Man, but until the agreement with them is finalised, we can’t provide further information.

"Once we have a licensee in place, we plan to undertake a major refurbishment of the pub to return it to its former glory and give the village back its local."
