It looks like the same family still owns this traditional boozer in the narrow streets of Cromer's town centre. All of the staff were women and they were serving a reasonably large lunchtime crowd on our Monday visit. The bar is long and narrow. The number of dogs in was staggering. I swore they almost outnumbered humans, but all were well behaved and friendly. 3 real ales were on - Adnams Ghost Ship, Wolf Golden Jackal & Moon Gazer Jumper.

If you enjoy a proper traditional pub with a warm welcome, then this is the place for you. This is a family run pub and has been passed down from mother to daughter. It has the original mahogany bar and an open fire. I went for their own ale called Old Welly brewed by Woodfordes

This pub is shabby on the outside, and internally, it's a bare floorboard, small table, plain ordinary boozer. However, my pint of Directors was spot on, and the staff are very friendly. The courtyard is very clean and tidy, and the food certainly looked good. We didn't eat here so can't comment, but looking at the number of people that were, it must have been. Well worth a visit.
