North Norfolk is famous for it's stunning coastline and fishing ports bringing in fresh lobster, crab, mussels, oysters and fish but the locality is also set within the most beautiful countryside and there are many working farms and estates producing a wide array of local produce. Fruit farms, the rearing of quality meats, horticulture and vegetables. The tourist industry in turn attracts quality chefs and places to eat which altogether makes North Norfolk a very foodie place to visit !
However unlike more urban restaurants, North Norfolk has a relaxed vibe and many gastro pubs are dog friendly, add some sunny weather and alfresco dining and you enjoy some lovely places to eat out with your family, friends, or for a special evening out together.

A warm welcome awaits you as well as excellent local beers, including Nelson's Revenge from Woodforde stable and excellent food from local sources, at prices to please.
There is no piped music, old pews abound and the fire in the bar makes a welcoming centrepiece.
Look out for local Norfolk Mussels, when in season, Blakeney whitebait, Norfolk game pie, soft herring roes on toast and the superb Cromer crab salads that are such a feature of the area. You can eat in or out, and on hot days the cool from the stream offers welcome freshness. A short but enterprising wine list is well supplied with wine by the glass. On first impressions, The Red Lion at Stiffkey is a traditional Norfolk Pub in almost every sense of the word, from the rustic wooden pews and four log fires to the original stone floor and selection of local brews on offer
