Good locals boozer with the excellent Fox beers brewed on the premises. Had chat with friendly brewer about Fox's willy (ooer).
Reccommended.

A brilliantly honest pub with its own brewery attached. Always a good choice of their own ales and guests aswell. Very friendly staff and locals and dog friendly too. Try the beer festivals, very recommended.

A great discovery.
Seven ales on the bar. Two of Heacham's own excellent beer. tasting samples offered for a 20pence donation to the RNLI , a great idea.
Friendly bar staff and locals, pleasant inside bar area and well equipped lavatories as mentioned in the bible (GBG).
Beer festivals held, Easter ,July and August BH.
Verdict: In an area that has sparse GBG entries this will serve the real ale lover well.
Verdict: Close to being a destination pub

Visited last week and beer was good. Lively with locals and barstaff went out of their way to provide a container for us to have a 'beer' takeout!

v.impressed. I love the fact there's a brewery on site and the fact you can buy bottles of the there beer to take away.
Next time I'm in the area a return visit will definitely be on the cards.

This pub has been refurbished recently without spoiling the bar though, a restaurant area has been added as well as new more modern toilets. There are usually three or four of their own beers on as well as a guest or two.

Haven't visited here for a couple of years, but back then I found it to be a very traditional, down-to-earth boozer, which despite its rather humdrum 1920s roadside pub appearance houses a prolific microbrewery, with a variety of Fox ales on handpump and a vast array of bottled beers behind the bar.
Some might be put off by a very local sort of atmosphere, but I found the staff and punters to be nothing but friendly.
I am not surprised about either comment below; it is not the sort of pub that caters for family accommodation. It is a raw but honest pub for drinkers, and ale enthusiasts in particular. Take your mates, not your kids, to get the best out of this pub and others like it.

We are going to this area on holiday with our family
so e-mailed ahead re family facilities. Despite several attempts we received no reply. So don't go with your family, and don't expect a pub which cares about 'customer relations'.

Good boozer. Own Micro-brewery on site. No frills, pool table, 2 of their own Fox beers generally on and Adnams and a guest. also had 7.5% farm cider on when I was there. a proper pub!
