| I had a week in Winterton working at much the same time as BothamsAshes and agree with most of his comments. Food in large (even too large) portions and beer quality (Belhaven, GK and Adnam) fine if not adventurous. Very popular with locals and holidaymakers, who mix well - the main downside seemed to be a darts board with blunt arrows that youngsters could not make stick meaning they bounced rather dangerously toward those dining. A Morris side turned up on one evening and all in all this is an above average holiday area inn Arctium_lappa - 24 Feb 2013 23:22 |
| Had a week's stay in Winterton and visited this pub every day. Contrary to reports the beer quality is very good, the Wherry was excellent every day I had it (which was every day!). The food choice is changed daily and is of a high quality, though I can understand a long wait in summer as the place is hugely popular. The locals are also amongst some of the nicest people you could meet (that too goes for the staff in the Dunes Cafe on the beach, the little chippie and the newsagent). As there was no sign of the cold reception mentioned below, I suspect it is more a problem with that reviewer than the residents. Highly recommended to visit. BothamsAshes - 8 Jul 2012 13:06 |
| Could be a great pub, its not. Great small village near the coast location. Geared up as the only place in town and somewhat of a tourist trap. Ok selection of ales though the own brew was not up to much and the selection of Adnams and Wherry were not great quality. Waited an hour for mediocre food too. Later the place is very much locals so expect the stares. theposh - 20 Feb 2012 19:04 |
| Lovely little pub serving Woodfordes ales. Wasn't too impressed with the homebrew though. Good food if a little bit large on portion size. Enjoyed a game of darts there too deportivo_azul - 19 Oct 2011 16:54 |
| This pub is an old favourite of my mine. The nearby beach is a maze of dunes where people can get lost, I had an embarrasing incident a few years ago, I did not realise that people would do that kind of thing in the dunes( oh well I digress). A truly great flint knapped pub, the service is a tad slow, the resteraunt extension is called "Tinho" it is quite upmarket know with a patioetc. Years ago it was just an old tin hut.Norfolk Square Stilletto was on when I visited, a very nice beer, a humpty dumpty ale was also on. slerpy - 7 Aug 2009 20:00 |
