Now renamed the White Hart, this was an excellent start to our Thursday crawl around Norfolk. Set in a sprawling village west of Norwich, this village local accommodates both drinkers and diners. There is a good range of both cask ales and craft beers, with a listing on Untappd. The welcome was friendly and the interior was clean and inviting. Ales on were Young's Special, Vocation Heart & Soul, Woodforde's Bure Gold, Fixed Wheel Blackheath Stout & Greene King Abbot Reserve. Indeed, this was the only pub out of 21 where we actually found a dark beer on cask during our 2 days in Lincolnshire & Norfolk. Craft beers listed were Woodforde's Voltage, Tiny Rebel Equaliser IPA, Vocation Hop, Skip & Juice, Crooked Beverage Dayglo Skies, Wild Beer Co. Quantic, Kirkstall Virtuous & Fourpure Citrus IPA. Apparently a CAMRA discount is also available here. Although, it was neither advertised nor offered for our visit. Nevertheless, with the added bonus of early opening times (10am Wed-Sat), this is a very good village local and was our favourite pub in Norfolk this time around.
