A long way past lunchtime and having just driven a long way from home, we literally dropped our…read moreluggage off at our hotel and went in search of some sustenance. The Lodge Hotel, is also a pub and restaurant, and but a short walk from our hotel in picturesque Old Hunstanton. Initial signs were good, the Commonwealth Games were showing on a large screen at the end of the bar area, the radio playing a selection of decent tunes and a hugely impressive bar selection, which also had a section promoting World Beers. The restaurant was utterly deserted, so we sat in the bar area to eat our lunch, a good mix of sofa type seating and large tables with comfortable leather backed chairs. There is also a sizeable outdoor area, with seats both under a canopy and picnic type benches with parasols, in what was a well kept and sun drenched garden. We only really wanted a snack, so we both had a coffee and shared a BLT, with lemon mayo, an accompanying dressed side salad and skinny fries. All very fresh and tasty, and a good strong cup of coffee. A great place to wile away an hour or so. We were so impressed, we promptly booked a table for the evening. When we arrived in the evening, the Lodge was much busier, both inside and out, a little bit of its lunchtime charm had ebbed away. Still undaunted we looked through the sizeable menu, all the old favourites like fish and chips, steak and gammon were there, along with more unusual dishes like a Keralan Curry, and Crab and Crayfish Linguine. Resisting my natural urge to try the Lodge Burger, I went for the Chicken fajitas, not cheap at £14 (£3 extra for the chicken) and my wife went for the Melanzane Parmigiana, a dish of grilled aubergines and courgettes, in a tomato sauce, with a mixed salad. The dishes arrived promptly, my wife's vegetarian dish looked good, but sadly the taste didn't match, quite bland really. The fajitas arrived de-constructed, chicken sizzling on skillet with green, red and yellow peppers, along with onion, as well as small amounts of guacamole, sour cream, cheddar and salsa. Tortillas were plentiful, but tasteless, the whole dish was OK, nothing particularly wrong with it, making my own dinner was fun, I guess. The accompanying Lindeboom Pilsener from the Netherlands was refreshing and went down smoothly on a hot summer's evening, but the dinner had not lived up to the chilled out promise of the lunch.

The hotel is ideally situated if you're a wedding guest, as it's five minutes by car or a 20 minute walk - so if you can't get a taxi at the end of the night you don't have to trek too far. They have 20 bedrooms - 10 within 'The Vic' itself and a further 10 in Ancient House, located directly opposite. The Vic has a large restaurant and bar, spacious conservatory, outside terraces and drawing room (where paying guests have sole access to complimentary whiskies, ports and rums!). It's almost completely dog-friendly here - there were about six in the restaurant alone! We ended up having dinner here on the Friday night and then breakfasts on Saturday and Sunday. All of the food was delicious and locally sourced. Their wine list was also really good, though expect to pay a premium here. The staff were all terrific and you were made to feel right at home. Our room ('Joe's Stop') was spotlessly clean, the beds were comfy and my huge walk-in shower in the en suite was a definite highlight! The hotel has seriously enviable views over the Holkham National Nature Reserve. It's also very close to Holkham Beach. The location is just superb in every way. Tip: Breakfasts are included in the room rates. Tip: Check in is after 3pm on the day of arrival. Check out is 11am or earlier on the day of departure.

It's a great place serving outstanding food. It's more than a gastro-pub, more of a restaurant with a bar area attached the style is unusual a sort of colonial British Raj effect but it's done well and works. It's not cheap but if you're looking to splurge it's great for an evening meal out. If all you're looking for is a pint and some top-quality bar food it's the place to head for too. It's right opposite the Lady Anne's road that leads down to the stunning Holkham beach too a great place to stop off after a walk in this truly beautiful area.

The backdrop to which are the characteristic reedbeds of the Broads, a great place to sit and relax in the summer, but we didn't venture out in late February! Inside, the hotel has a definite sense of style, akin to hotels of the 1930s as seen in episodes of Poirot. We were only staying in Norfolk for a short time but we did enjoy our cups of Earl Grey tea. The menu for the evening meals is done on a day on day basis, prices ranging from around £10 for a main. When we return to Norfolk we will definitely be partaking in their cuisine, as the menu was both interesting and varied. As in the name the George has a variety of rooms in which you can stay, with several advertised as having favourable views of the unique local countryside.

This place though, was much better than I imagined it might be. Its a reasonably small family run establishment with a few bedrooms (I think I was the only guest at the time) located, as the name suggests, by the side of the towns small railway station. The rooms were comfortable and adequate, the breakfasts were fantastic - and they even accomodated me getting up at a stupid time of morning and having an early breakfast for work purposes. The bar area takes up most of the floorspace, and while the locals are a little insular at the best of times, it was reasonably friendly, and service was always with a smile. The price for a five night stay was particularly reasonable, and I;d certainly go back again if I was in the area.

You have to order from the bar, both food and drinks. The menu is varied, with an interesting variety of pub fare. I went for the standard fish and chips. It was a very good filet of fish, perfectly battered and fried. The chips were pretty good as well. The accompanying peas were kind of blah. Others at the table had a burger (seemed good), the beef pie (also good) and salmon. Not sure if I would go out of the way to come here but if you happen to be in the area, it's a good spot to catch a drink and a bite.
