Lunchtime and busy with mostly well to do older folk enjoying a meal accompanied by an alcoholic beverage! The four real ales on were dispensed straight from the cask.

The pub is found in Pin Mill, Suffolk, IP9 1JW.

A traditional pub in Pin Mill Lane, in a tiny hamlet on the bank of River Orwell, with three separate rooms and a connecting corridor with flag-stoned floors (in part). This famous pub retains some high backed settles and a large open fire in main bar area making it very cosy on cold winter days. The pub has a toilet for disabled customers. It was first recorded as public house in 1553, though it may be older. (The Listed Buildings Register says the building's 17th century so presumably there was an earlier building?) Often very busy in Summer and at weekends, it has long been renowned for a traditional food menu with a number of fish dishes. The pub has featured in films and once in TV's Lovejoy (as 'The Three Ducks'!)

We have visited this pub once, seen 4 different beers and tried 1 of them.
