About The Oyster Smack
Burnham-on-Crouch sits along the water's edge in Essex, where the river and surrounding countryside give the town its quiet, salt-air character, and The Oyster Smack Inn makes the most of that riverside setting. The pub-style inn offers straightforward, comfortable accommodation with en-suite bathrooms and family rooms available, so it suits couples, families and dog owners alike, as pets are welcome throughout.
Downstairs, the bar and restaurant serve breakfast and meals through the day, with kids' meals on the menu and drinks available in the room for those who'd rather settle in for the evening. Free WiFi and 24 hour reception are on hand, and free on-site parking makes arriving by car simple.
Outside the front door, Burnham-on-Crouch offers walking routes, fishing spots, and further pubs, restaurants and entertainment nearby, making the inn a practical base for exploring the Essex coast and countryside at an easy pace.
