Opened in the Victorian era, the pub is situated in High Street – its name derives from the nearby arboretum (tree garden) in Christchurch Park. The building was previously home to the Arboretum Hotel and later the Arboretum Inn.

The pub was closed for a while in late 2008, and was renamed in 2016 as Arbor House.

Now the venue, which is close to Ipswich Museum, offers a traditional pub feel with contemporary British food.
