One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

Here we have perhaps the last pub in Norfolk where you can see significant remains of a Watneys 1960s refit - notably the bar backs in the snug and left-hand bar. The former in particular is classic Watneys of the kind that once featured in hundreds of this unmissed brewery's pubs; it also has a rare surviving till drawer. The display cases and counter in the snug are from the same era, as could well be the seating in the bar - though this room was later extended into the one next door. A no longer operational wheel for the Norfolk game of Twister hangs from the ceiling.

General information about historic pub interiors

Thatched pub which is included in this guide as possibly the last in Norfolk where you can still see remains of a Watneys 1960s refit. The snug on the right has an impressive 1930s brick fireplace incorporating two display cases and a counter that looks like it dates from the 1950/1960s. The bar back is a classic Watneys one with glass shelves and mirrored bar back one that was installed in hundreds of pubs in Norfolk and elsewhere in the UK. The bar on the left has another Watneys bar back but the counter dates from 1980/1990s. The seating could well be of 1960s vintage and the room has been doubled in size by knocking through to the room on the left. Note the Norfolk game of Twister on the ceiling which is no longer used. It is circular with twelve segments randomly numbered 1 to 12 with a spinner.
