Very popular pub/restaurant mostly given over to dining, but with a welcoming and accommodating bar-area. A good selection of six cask ales on hand-pump (three regular, and three changing) are mostly sourced regionally.

There's a comprehensive menu with an excellent selection of dishes including fish and seafood options, served in two separate dining-areas in addition to the bar dining-area, and a good-sized car park and pleasant patio garden.

Accommodation in five double rooms is available above the pub.

Information for this venue is provided by the Norwich & District Branch of CAMRA
