The Lodge at Salhouse, Norwich

Small hotel with heavy food trade in extensive grounds used for camping. Has slightly dated feel, with lots of brick arches and the sort of furniture found in pubs 30 years ago, but felt well looked after. Two handpumps carrying Greene King IPA and "something else from GK" badged as house beer.

We were back in Wroxham for our annual holiday and visited the The Lodge Country House twice. According to a page from the local paper on the notice board, it had been in danger of closing. There was a good local trade on the two afternoons we were there, and they have opened a caravan and camp site. Greene King IPA is still £3.30, and there is a Lodge Bitter available at 3.7%, which I did not try. It is still a most pleasant and civilised place to be in and we shall return next year.

We returned to The Lodge as we normally have a holiday in Wroxham each year. It was on Fathers Day, so it was busy, with a carvery available which looked O.K. Greene King IPA, Adnams Bitter and Woodfordes Wherry on hand pump. It is a shame the IPA was £3.20, but it is a nice place to be, and seems to attract mainly the older rather than younger customers. We will visit again.
