    There was a small menu but all dishes were well cooked and ingredients were fresh. Staff were all really welcoming and friendly. Surroundings were a little off putting at first and we weren’t sure if we had made a good choice of venue but as soon as the food arrived we realised we had.

    The best mussels ever and we have eaten them all over the world! The sticky toffee pudding was a complete indulgence but who can resist a home made pud? Highly recommend this pub

    This is a great pub. We visited twice during a week’s holiday in Norfolk . Once for a drink and once for a meal. The same staff were on duty both times and were so friendly. The barman made the best Virgin Mary I have ever had as I was driving - tasted like the real thing . If we lived in Stiffkey, we would be regulars. I hope the locals realise how lucky they are.
