Pubs don't come any better than this. Great beer is sold from the barrel and never tasted better…read more The food here is also terrific with local specialities including cockles. The pub is split over several rooms of real character and can get a little busy at times. There's always a board full of specials as well. There is an accompanying bed and breakfast and it's ideal for exploring the North Norfolk coast.

This is an absolutely classic Norfolk country pub. It has changed little over the decades I've…read moreknown it and most likely over a longer timespan than that. Characteristic of such pubs, it has no bar but instead drinks are served from a serving window with the beer poured directly from casks lined up in the serving room. The beers are local, Woodforde's but also new brewers too, and are all expertly taken care of and are the definition of perfection in cask conditioning and serving. The food is also excellent and features many local products and comes in ample servings. The pub still retains the flagstone floors, small rooms, and real open fires and absolutely no superfluous decoration or tarting up. This is everything you want in a country pub and a remarkable survivor.

This pub has not made the mistake of abandoning being a pub in favor of trying to be a restaurant. Starters of garlic bread and chicken wings and BBQ sauce were extremely tasty and a great start to the meal. The fish pie for main was fantastic. Think of all the fish pies you have had where you play hunt the fish - this was the opposite. Full of tasty salmon and haddock. The haddock and chips for the other main had light batter and was beautifully cooked. As far as pubs that serve food, this was was great value and served very nice food. Add in the view and this pub is well worth the visit. Try it.

I won a voucher for a meal for 2, and was blown away by the friendliness of the staff, and the quality of the food. The starters were prepared to perfection (the haddock/prawn fish cakes were amazing). The steak for my main was cooked exactly as ordered (medium) and melted in the mouth, and the accompanying peppercorn sauce was delightful. For desert the sticky toffee pudding and ice cream was warm, moist and very sweet but not too sickly!! Perfect! I would highly recommend going here, I plan on coming back but will also bring my family and my fiancées family when they visit from London. Well deserved 5 stars.

This pub is a joy to visit anytime of the year but does get busy in the summer as it is the only pub in the village. There used to be 3 at one time but they all closed down, only a lot of effort from the locals ensured that the Red Lion reopened and it has probably never been so popular. I found this pub by chance driving along the coast road some years ago and have been back many times since. It has that old world charm and has one of my favourite beers straight out of the barrel usually, Wherry as well as other local real ales on hand pump, (the way it should be) like Nelsons revenge. The food served here is all homemade and I have never had a bad meal, there is also a childrens menu so obviously famillies are welcome not like in the fake Irish bar O'Neills which are adults only, but they only tell you that after taking your money. In the main part of the pub there are not 1 but 3 real fires which are a real joy in the winter months. The pub has been extended and has additional space to the back, partly in their conservatory and partly in another extension. There is also seating outside. From the main bars there are lovely views across the stream and the fields beyond. They have this year added accomadation by way of a number of self catering chalets which all have the views you get from the pub. I have always had a warm welcome when visiting this pub and the locals are friendly as well. I can't rate this pub highly enough. Well worth stopping off if you are in the area or well worth a detour if you're not!!

We also tried their pannini which was delicious, especially with a bowl of their spicy homemade parsnip soup! Fresh ciabatta rolls were absolutely divine. We were stuffing ourselves silly with the fresh bread, even though we were already quite full. Now their selection of sweets are just beautiful and homemade--victoria sponge, meringue, scones, etc.... We tried the meringue at our table, which has made me interested in the stuff again; and I definitely loved the scone with clotted cream and preserves! Prices = reasonable.
