The Nutshell Pub in 2011

The Nutshell is a pub in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, England, that until 2016 claimed to be the smallest pub in Britain, although this claim was challenged by several others, including the Smiths Arms at Godmanstone (now closed) and the Lakeside Inn in Southport.[1][2] The pub is certainly diminutive so that no more than ten or fifteen customers can drink inside at any one time.[citation needed] The pub measures 4.57 m × 2.13 m (15 ft × 7 ft).[3] In 1984, a record number of 102 people squeezed into the pub.[4]

Inside the pub, the dried body of a black cat is suspended, having been discovered during building work.[citation needed]
