My favourite pub of a holiday to Norfolk in January 2020... stayed in Sheringham, but had a great day out in Happisburgh (watch the pronunciation - I was picked up on this by Norfolk folk). Walk along the beach to the cart gap and Sea Palling beyond.. lovely walking. The pub immediately feels good. Old, homely, nooks and crannies everywhere. Lots of locals. Apparently Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle stayed here. They also brew there own beer at the Dancing Men brewery behind. I had dancing men After the storm, but there was also Lacons St.Nick, Woodfords Tinsel toes, Green King IPA and more. Visit now, before coastal erosion denies you the privilege!

I HAVE BEEN HOLIDAYING IN NORFOLK FOR 12 YEARS-MY WIFE INTRODUCED ME TO THE FABULOUS HILL HOUSE-ALTHOUGH I LIVE IN SHEFFIELD THE HILL HOUSE IS NOW MY REGULAR LOCAL (174 MILES FROM MY HOUSE!!)
THE FOOD AND BEER IS ALWAYS GOOD AND THE WELCOME IS ALWAYS WARM-CLIVE AND SUE AND THE REST OF THE FAMILY AND STAFF DO THEIR VERY BEST TO KEEP A GOOD HOUSE AND DO IT VERY WELL-THIS SORT OF PUB IS UNFORTUNATELY A DYING BREED-KEEP IT UP CLIVE AND SUE
THE CARVERY AT THE BACK OF THE PUB IS EXCELLENT AND THE ANNUAL SUMMER SOLSTICE BEER FESTIVAL IS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE YEAR-SEE YOU ALL THERE IN JUNE

Read some really positive reviews about this place and was looking forward to frequenting this place every evening during my recent holiday in Happisburgh. However, after my first visit, I didn't feel comfortable going back. The locals were rowdy and one particular bloke liked making me feel awkward about asking him to move each time I needed to get to the bar. If I hadn't been with my wife I would have invited him outside after his third attempt to threaten me. The pint I had was ok though....

Close to the church and not far from the famous lighthouse the Hill House is a fine village local serving very good home cooked food (proper stuff) and good beer. The WHerry I tried was excellent, nice outside areas for sunshine sipping, try it sooner rather than later, with the way the coastal erosion is going around this area it will soon be on the beach!

Stayed in Happisburgh last week and visited here twice, once just for drinks, once for food. Both were excellent. Top marks to the very welcoming landlord and family / staff.

I stayed at this pub for over a year in 2000 (I used to work for Amoco building a power station in Gt Yarmouth). I think Clive and Sue still own it. They are a lovely couple who made my stay there most enjoyable so far from home - I live in Clevedon, North Somerset. From day 1 the welcome was fantastic, beer great, and the friendliest locals I've ever met. When it came time to leave I honestly didn't want to. I can't fault Happisburgh, it's people or the pub. OK it's not the Ritz by any way, shape or form but look past that to the people and the welcome and you'll be bitten by the Happisburgh bug. Great place to re-charge your batteries if you're feeling stressed.

This pub is a rare gem! Friendly staff and locals who gave me advice on the best beer of the day. The beer was superbly kept: thank goodness I was walking and not driving, This place is the best pub for many a mile in this part of Norfolk. Trust me I have been in most of them. This is also a very dog friendly pub, so bring fido.

Fantastic village pub, at the heart of village life. Excellent, well kept beers (6 on at all times). Cheap and cheerful B&B accomodation available over the pub, together with some classier rooms - a converted signal box and station masters office! Standard pub fair available. Bit shabby round the edges, but that's what I like in a pub - very friendly staff and locals.

Stayed in Happisburgh for two weeks, and we enjoyed walking up to the pub and staggering home again. Saw Andrew Marr's programme last night (Britain from above) and were shocked at the damage being caused. If Happisburgh only has another 10 years, this pub should upgrade to pull in all the Gastro types - would earn a fortune!

Good food and a great range of ales, a place where the author of Sherlock Holmes stayed when writing, full of atmosphere, and the beer festival is great
|
wonderful place in the back of beyond.amiable staff, food served daily and they have a beer festival.
