| Wherry in excellent condition on Wed 25th January... Spent the day walking through the salt marshes to the beach, and taking in the amazing bird life. Popped in late afternoon for a drink, and the pub was pretty busy. Settled down near the fire and had some lovely sandwiches with fries. The Hero is warm an welcoming, with attentive staff. Just picking up on Paul's thread though, even inside they do seem to like the table service, which I'm not keen on, but a minor niggle. I think the other beer on hand pull was Ghost Ship.

| A bizarre ordering system where you find a table, order outdoors then await (friendly) table service. This leads to lengthy delays even for drinks and was bemusing the London lads up for a wedding. If you pick the right outside table then you might get a view of the River Burn but otherwise it's just the main road to watch. My pint of Wherry was in good condition. paul_d102 - 14 Sep 2021 10:23 |
| New management - re-opened after closure for refurbishment. Dining area much extended: some accommodation over what used to be the adjoining art gallery. Bar area much the same as before. Called in briefly Saturday last for a (very good) glass of house white. Was intending to eat but - despite the time of year - the bar was very crowded and noisy (so it's obviously doing well!) and I suspected the (totally empty!) dining rooms would have been a touch pricey for the kind of lunch-time snack I was after. So I walked on to the ever reliable White Horse at Brancaster Staithe. I must call again out of season, but on a week day when the bar ought to be less frenetic. Didn't get a chance to find out if the fish roe (or anything else) is still "pan fried"! All in all it looks good and I wish it well. Ditchcrawler - 8 Feb 2017 17:56 |
| "Pan fried" - it still amuses me - roe back on. Delicious as ever. Firedrake - 30 Jul 2012 10:17 |
| Fell into The Hero after getting completely frozen and soaked on the 1.5 mile hike from the beach. It's true that the exterior is a little underwhelming but the interior is cool and elegant. The ubiquitous Wherry was fine and our food excellent. The young man who served us throughout was especially friendly and helpful. Suitably refreshed and thawed, we were able to make the last 6 miles to Brancaster. kestrel - 27 Apr 2012 13:52 |
