Lodge, Hunstanton

Little changed since Andy's visit and also clearly geared towards food as well as accommodation. I can't add there as we didn't eat but went to see a rugby match which was being showed on a screen behind the bar as they'd, mistakenly, assumed that there wouldn't be much interest. All very friendly both from behind the bar and the assembled whether interested in the game or not. Beers on were: Woodforde Wherry, Black Sheep and a rather lacklustre Barsham Norfolk Kiwi. I moved on to lager which wasn't great either so compromised with a Guiness. It's popular with families and is, I'm sure, a draw for the location, rooms and food but not somewhere I'd head for the beer alone.

Large open plan pub with bar, restaurant and accommodation – I couldn’t decide if it was a hotel with a public bar or a pub with accommodation but their website points towards the latter. Large contemporary bar in wood finish, leather dining chairs and a large flat screen TV situated above a wood burning stove in the fireplace at the far end of the room. Nice beer garden with branch trellis fencing and benches on slabbed islands. On handpull there was Green King IPA, Old Speckled Hen, Abbot, Whoodforde’s Wherry and one unused handpull.
