Pubs
No pub is all things to all people. The selection here should include something for everyone. The pub scene in Norfolk has come on in leaps and bounds in the last ten years and the majority serve good food in comfortable surroundings.
Some of course are exceptional but we have tried to cover the whole gamut from locals' retreats through children friendly family orientated house to full-on 'gastro' pubs.
Each individual entry should give a fair indication of the overall character of the pub.
