Now fully refurbished. Traditional rural pub with lots of character.

Historic Interest

A report in the Bury & Norwich Post on Dec-26 in 1838 states that the pub was part of the sale of Samuel Alexander's Brewery, the Oyster selling at £820. A report in the Ipswich Journal on 25 Jun in 1853 states that : The Oyster Inn, Butley to be sold by auction. Mr John THURLOW, the Proprietor & his family have occupied this Inn for the last 25 years & he now only leaves in consequence of having engaged a farm. Closed in Dec 2012.

In April 2020 it was reported by the EADT that the pub is reopening, though at present only the shop is operating, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. A further report in July told us that reopening had been deferred and it may be another six months before it reopens as a pub. The shop continued to operate as a lifeline for the villagers. It was observed to have reopened late in May 2021.
