    We had wonderful food when we went two weeks ago but this time the food was not as good. The coffee was poor and my tea was cold. Staff were really lovely though.

    One of our favourite pubs in North Norfolk. Can’t fault anything apart from it would be nice if you could do a Sunday Roast. Keep up the good work.
