Back in Great Yarmouth for our annual pilgrimage to the Vauxhall Holiday Camp for the Legends of Rock festival we were hoping that the pandemic had not affected the towns premier real ale pub and was very pleased to find that it had not.
The two bar layout, either side of the central serving area, is unchanged from our remembrances and on both our chilly weekend lunchtime visits we managed to get a table in the front room close to the roaring open fire.
Seven of the handpumps were in operation during our visits and alongside the permanent GK Abbot were Fine Ales Jarl, Rooster Brewing Roots Rock Reggae, Mighty Oak Captain Bob, Saltaire Amarillo and Adnams Oyster Stout. Several were tried and the Captain Bob was considered a fine session beer, so much so that we saw it off over the two lunchtimes.
Food is not served, but the pub is only too happy for you to bring food in, which is very handy as there is a Greggs a short walk away..

We returned to one of our favourite pubs in Great Yarmouth last week after a 5-year hiatus. The pub is located not too far from the market place, next to a large town centre car park. It is well away from the beach and therefore attracts a much more local crowd.

Both visits here saw the pub to be very quiet. It was a weekend when I visited in 2016 and I remember it being busy. This time, our Sunday visit had one other customer and our Friday visit had just a handful.

There are 2 rooms, served from a central bar. The barmaid was very friendly and knowledgeable about the beers and ciders.

Greene King Abbot is the one regular ale. Guests on our first visit were Morland Old Speckled Hen, Brains The Rev James, Green Jack Orange Wheat Beer & Summer Dream, Adnams Ghost Ship & Saltaire Triple Choc. 5 days later, there was Oakham Cryptic, Tiny Rebel Cwtch, Saltaire Amarillo, Green Jack Mahseer IPA & Purple Moose Elderflower Ale & Madog's Ale. So, despite it being quiet, turnover of the beers is still good.

In addition to the ales, there is also a great cider selection - Weston's Old Rosie, Medium Dry Vintage & Cloudy Vintage, Lilley's Pineapple Cider, Mango Cider, Tropical Cider & Fire Dancer & Thistly Cross Whisky Cask.

Certainly a must visit when in the town and can easily be combined with the Tombstone around the corner.

Small, traditional local, slight sea theme with nets etc. There is room for some tables & chairs with high stools in front of the window. Relaxed nice place with a choice of ales, tho it seemed to be Cornish day on my visit.
