    This is the second time we have been to this lovely pub. The food is excellent not your usual pub grub. A varied and well thought out menu Great service and lovely friendly atmosphere. I had the seafood stew with chorizo which was wonderful. Mu husband had the lentil curry which he really enjoyed Coffee machine wasn't working but we were going on to Sheringham so no problem.

    Lovely place! Well-kept Wherry at just the right temperature, good food (the halibut on Saturday was excellent, the fish and chips always are), staff are very friendly and service is good, even when it’s very busy: always a good place to take friends and family
