The Butt and Oyster, Pin Mill

The Butt and Oyster stands directly on the banks of the River Orwell, featuring terracotta tiled floors and large bay windows overlooking the water.

The establishment has maintained its position since 1456, when it served as a location for water bailiff court hearings along the River Orwell.

The pub gained literary recognition through its appearance in Arthur Ransome's 1937 children's book 'We Didn't Mean to Go to Sea' and television series 'Lovejoy'.

The pub welcomes visitors seven days a week from morning until late evening, offering food service throughout the day and maintaining dog-friendly areas.

The interior displays Thames Barge memorabilia and maintains historical elements from the 17th century, including an original open fireplace.
