Traditional 18C village-centre pub, set back from the main road, and within walking distance of the RSPB nature reserve, with a public bar and pool table. Petanque is also played in the area at the rear.

Beers are sourced from a variety of East Anglian breweries and some further afield.

An extensive choice of freshly prepared meals and seafood specials using local produce is served in the separate restaurant, and there is a covered, heated smoking area.

Kitchen closed Mondays except in December and 12pm-5pm Bank Holiday Mondays, closed the following Tuesday.

Close to the RSPB reserve with nature walks, as well as the boating centre of Brundall. Ramblers welcome.
