Good local pubs and other eateries
There are masses of pubs in north Norfolk, most doing a half-decent job of offering good often locally-sourced food. Here are just a few with some ideas for takeaways and restaurants.
Always dependable, a proper busy and popular pub, good home cooking.

Legendary nationwide - owned by the eccentric art dealer Ivor Braka it features some quite entertaining/challenging/rude works of art by the likes of Tracey Emin.
The food is very good but you do get charged for sides as well as mains. Worth going just for the experience but to be safe you'll need to book a table in advance.

Sister pub to The Gunton and newly opened, this place blows your mind! The saloon bar entrance gives way to a top notch tapas restaurant with a truly decadent cocktail bar upstairs. It’s filled with artworks from Ivor’s personal collection. Cheap it ain’t, memorable and a treat it certainly is!

This is master chef Galton Blackiston's foray into 'street food' and boy is it good. There's a fish restaurant on the ground floor and a bistro upstairs - both top-notch.
