| Have to admit that the draw for us was that my friend is an old rail enthusiast, so a model train running around the bar had to be seen. We weren't disappointed, the manager switched it on as soon as we asked about it. Trains aside, the beer seemed well kept and it looks like a good locals pub. The food menu looked really good. A lot of different stuff from the usual fayre, but we hadn't planned to eat out that night and as we were on holiday, unfortunately have not had a chance to try it. Hope someone does and reports soon. OnAMission - 28 Feb 2015 15:48 |
| The pub is unrecognisable from the last comment. It's a really nice village local with three excellent beers on handpump - Woodforde Wherry, Adnams Ghost Ship and Vicenniale from Buffys Brewery - all three regional East Anglian ales. Lunch was extremely tasty - I had the whitebait followed by the Moroccan Bean Stew with potato cakes for £12 - it was very tasty but the main course portions were rather meagre. For an extra 10p they could have provided more potato cake and I've have given them an extra point. Unlike a lot of North Norfolk pubs, this was not exclusively patronised by comfortably off pensioners and prosperous families from the home counties. There were a couple of locals in the bar and they were friendly and welcoming, as were the bar staff. This is proper pub - so use it if you're in the area rather than the poncey overpriced pubs along the coastal road. Number11 - 26 Aug 2014 23:30 |
| Drunken locals pub, A barman who clearly favours the Dole queue to working, The beer was less than average. AVOID ! slerpy - 1 Dec 2012 11:29 |
| Friendly pub with sociable staff and regulars, good selections of beers, an excellent Guinness, and plentiful selection of food, including cheap steak nights on Thursdays. Has a model railway set running all around bar area. Separate pool room. Plenty of parking. Recommended. Brancastrian - 11 Jan 2006 12:29 |
