Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Royal Norfolk Hotel
Looks deceive here appears to be a very traditional hotel with quite an austere look. However, the bar at the right-hand end has lighter-than-expected décor and is quite pub-like, with a mix of seating, a side dining room and a pool table in the rear extension. Live music also advertised. "Real Ales x3 on hand pull pumps" are advertised outside, although only two of these were working when I visited, offering Bombardier and Shepherd Neame's Whitstable Bay pale ale (£4.70). The latter brewery's 'small batch' First Drop session IPA was also available on one of the keg taps.

A Victorian seaside hotel, very grand in its day, now appears divided into several businesses: there is the pub itself, which still operates as a hotel, a restaurant (Fat Larry's) and various other things. The important bit is the bar, which, surprisingly, is very much a decent local pub. It goes all the way from the front, back into an extension and adjoins a small rear terrace with chairs and tables for al fresco drinkers and smokers. There is a pool table, gaming machines and a TV screen. The pub has a decent selection of malt whiskies, two real ales and a good selection of bottled beers. Staff are friendly and welcoming. The ales are sold at a discounted price - £2.90 a pint. I had a pint of Moles Tap which was most enjoyable. A very friendly local in which to while away a few hours and a nice complement to the other two pubs in Sandgate.
