The Lifeboat Inn.
Ship Lane, Thornham, Norfolk, PE36 6LT.
Tel: 01485 512236.

The charming Lifeboat Inn at Thornham is a real North-Norfolk treasure. Its coastal location provides breathtaking views towards Thornham beach and it is a romantic, rustic and atmospheric escape.
From the cosy smugglers bar lit by hanging oil lanterns to the large fireplace when you first walk in (you’ll have to fight for space in front of it during the winter – often with a few dogs!), the ambience remains faithful to traditional inn-keeping values (after all, The Lifeboat has been receiving guests since the 16th century). Fantastic all year round because its situation is perfect for exploring the North Norfolk coast, as well as taking in golf at nearby Hunstanton, where the Brabazon Trophy was held in 2003. The Lifeboat comes into its own throughout the winter months when it is an inviting and snug bolthole.
For dining, there is a lovely walled patio garden and bright conservatory, the roof of which is covered by an ancient vine that apparently thrives on Abbot Ale. For evenings and special occasions, try the more formal dining room with its welcoming traditional décor and daily-changing one rosette standard menu (3 courses for £28.50). Year-round, the reasonably priced bar menu features local delights and daily specials and is very popular in the evenings. Children’s meals are available and there are options for vegetarians.
The Lifeboat bar is popular and often bustling into the evening – a perfect retreat to recover from walks along the beach or from exploring the area.
The Lifeboat, and its nearby sister Inn, The Old Coach House, offer comfortable and traditional bed and breakfast (all rooms en-suite) from around £50 pppn (£60 Fri, Sat and Bank Holiday Sundays). Offers and special deals are available for 3-night stays and throughout January and February.
Dogs are welcome (£5 per stay) and extra beds can be provided for Children.
Please ask about the special Midweek Dinner, B&B Break.
Plenty of parking is available.

The Briarfields Hotel.
Main Street, Titchwell, Norfolk, PE31 8BB.
Tel: 01485 210742.
www.briarfieldshotelnorfolk.co.uk
Conveniently located on the A149 coast road in the pretty village of Titchwell, and with prestigious 3-Star Silver (Visit Britain) and 3-Star (AA) status, Briarfields Hotel is a warm and welcoming place to stay in North Norfolk. Made up of a collection of sympathetically converted barns and farm buildings, it offers a relaxed and cosy atmosphere that is perfect for helping you settle in to holiday mode, or to escape for a short getaway.
All rooms are en-suite and the homely traditional decor is brought bang up to date with flat screen televisions, luxurious four-poster beds and heated towel rails, offering you the best of both worlds. Family-friendly (check out the impressive play area to the rear), there are 4 family rooms that comprise a second bedroom adjacent to the main bedroom – perfect for keeping an eye on the little ones.
The hotel has a wonderful restaurant that serves the finest locally sourced produce at lunchtimes and dinner time and there is a large bar and lounge area if you fancy kicking back and relaxing with a newspaper and a drink.
For the more adventurous, Briarfields makes the perfect base for exploring the delights of the surrounding area, including Titchwell Marsh Nature Reserve (which the hotel overlooks).
Aside from all this, one of the biggest surprises about Briarfields is that it is so reasonably priced. In keeping with their aim to remain accessible to all, room rates start at £100 for a double room, bed and breakfast in high season and £80 in low season. Dogs are welcome at a nominal charge of £7.50 per night and a discount can be arranged for groups of 10 or more.

The Stiffkey Red Lion.
44 Wells Road, Stiffkey, Norfolk, NR23 1AJ.
Tel: 01328 830552.
A traditional Norfolk Pub in almost every sense of the word, from the rustic wooden pews and four log fires to the original stone floor and selection of local brews on offer, The Red Lion at Stiffkey is an uncomplicated retreat for those wishing to unwind in a relaxing atmosphere with no whistles and bells.
Centrally located on the A149 coast road, Stiffkey is easily reached from all the towns, villages and attractions that make this region special, from the chic rural hotspots of Holt and Burnham Market to the more classic seaside resorts of Sheringham, Cromer and Wells. There is a popular campsite just a stroll away and the Pub is close enough to the sea for those sitting outside to be refreshed by the sea breeze on warmer days.
In wonderful contrast, eating at The Stiffkey Red Lion is a less traditional affair. While the decor may be reassuringly simple, as you’d expect from a bona fide country alehouse, the cuisine is fresh, modern and mouth-watering. The main menu features classic dishes that take advantage of the wealth of local produce, changing regularly depending on seasonal availability. A specials board changes daily, offering a selection of more cosmopolitan dishes. There are also dishes for children and several vegetarian options.
You can choose to eat in any of the three rooms in the pub or in the conservatory or dining room. There is outside seating too if you’d prefer to dine al fresco.
Ideally situated on the North Norfolk coast (and reachable on foot from several nearby locations, including Wells-next-the-Sea), The Red Lion is the ideal stop-off for walkers, cyclists or birdwatchers. It is great for a hearty lunch, a refreshing pint of Nelson’s Revenge or an evening meal to finish off a hard day of sightseeing.
Titchwell Manor Hotel, Restaurant & Bar.
Titchwell, Nr Brancaster, Norfolk, PE31 8BB.
Tel: 01485 210221.
Once a Victorian Farmhouse, Titchwell Manor has the presence and romance characteristic of its coastal-mansion origins together with the benefit of a fabulously contemporary, stylish interior. Its situation right on the coast, close to Brancaster, the Burnhams and the RSPB Titchwell Nature Reserve, mean Titchwell Manor is ideal as a rest stop or base if you want to explore the wider region.
As well as offering extremely luxurious hotel accommodation, it has a superb new bar and dining area – both of which are open all day, every day to hotel guests and non-residents alike.
The large marble bar is well stocked with tipples from wine to real ales, while The Eating Rooms is a relaxed, but elegant, setting that is a great destination for a mid-morning top-up, an intimate evening rendezvous, or a jolly family celebration. View a sample menu for The Eating Rooms here.
For more formal, fine dining, Titchwell boasts the modern 2 AA Rosette Conservatory Restaurant. Here Head Chef Eric Snaith delivers a daily ‘Tasting Menu’ of seven mouth-watering courses composed from the highest quality, freshest ingredients (so lots of lovely local produce). View a sample menu here.

While you have the choice of where to dine, and whether you plump for modern European cuisine in the Conservatory Restaurant or satisfying traditional dishes from the Eating Rooms menu, the emphasis here is very much on enjoying good food in a great atmosphere. Children welcome at Titchwell Manor and a Children’s Menu is available.

The Yurt.
Drove Orchards, Thornham, Norfolk, PE36 6LS.
Tel: 07765 333232 / 01692 402137.
Camping enthusiasts will tell you that nothing compares to the experience of sleeping under canvas. But what about eating under canvas? Visit the new Yurt ‘Rustic Restaurant and Café’ at Drove Orchards in Thornham, and you can judge for yourself.
A totally unique concept in eating out, The Yurt is a large, round, semi-permanent tent with vertical walls and a conical roof. Inside you’ll find a gentle Turkish-cum-Moroccan style interior, with lamps, lanterns and low tables with reclined wicker chairs alongside more conventional blue wooden dining furniture. The atmosphere is ambient with peaceful music and no urgency to hurry. Think Very-VIP chill-out tent at Glastonbury. Imagine Kate Moss and cohorts. You get the idea.
In contrast to the décor, the menu is closer to home in its origin – delicious hot dishes, all day breakfasts and doorstep sandwiches, as well as mouth-watering cakes and puddings. Simple(ish) fare made from high quality local produce. If its simply refreshment you’re after, The Yurt does a nice selection of coffees, teas and soft drinks.
Open Mon-Weds 9am-5pm, Thurs-Sat 9am-5pm & 6pm-9pm, Sun 9am-5pm.
The Norfolk Riddle.
2 Wells Road, Walsingham, Norfolk, NR22 6DJ.
Tel: 01328 821903 to book.
Situated in the pretty and renowned village of Little Walsingham, and associated with the nearby Walsingham Farms Shop, The Norfolk Riddle is a wonderful result of the combination of the highest quality, fresh local ingredients, friendly service, simple and delicious dishes, and relaxed ambience. In short it could be described as the ultimate ‘Norfolk’ eatery – traditional and unpretentious yet smart and exceptionally satisfying.
Head Chef Herv Stouvenel (originally from Alsace-Lorraine in France) understands farming and rural village life, and is passionate about cooking and eating seasonal produce. Herv is particularly interested in making the most of the simplest ingredients and cheaper cuts such as potatoes, belly pork and offal.
The menu changes fortnightly to reflect the seasonal bounty available and drinks include locally brewed cider and beers as well as wine and freshly pressed fruit juices. Being adjacent to the superb Norfolk Riddle Fish & Chip Shop, classic cod and chips is a specialty, but you would be equally impressed with a prime steak of Walsingham Beef or the freshly made vegetarian dish that is always on offer.
If you have room, you can treat yourself to one of the indulgent puddings, all made on the premises or in the Farms Shop kitchen.
Children and family groups are welcome, and the restaurant will happily serve as a venue (tailored menu included) for your party or celebration.
Finally… ‘What is a ‘Norfolk Riddle’?’ you may ask… well, not only a brainteaser, a ‘riddle’ is also a giant sieve used to sort potatoes, an East Anglian staple crop. Look out for these implements hanging up around the restaurant.
Restaurant closed on Mondays. Open Tue-Thur 12Noon-1.45pm & 6pm-8.45pm, Fri/Sat 12Noon-2.15pm & 6pm-9.30pm, Sun 12Noon-2.30pm & 6pm-8.30pm.

The 16th Century Lifeboat Inn at Thornham is a real North-Norfolk treasure in its stunning coastal location (even the car park has a breathtaking view out onto Holme Dunes).
In addition to the cosy oil-lantern lit bar and general ambience, that remains faithful to traditional inn-keeping values, The Lifeboat is a great place to eat all year round – particularly throughout the winter months when it really is an inviting and snug bolthole.
For summer dining, there is a lovely walled patio garden, and bright conservatory, the roof of which is covered by an ancient vine that apparently thrives on Abbot Ale. For evenings and special occasions, try the more formal dining room with its welcoming traditional décor and daily-changing one rosette standard menu (3 courses for £28.50). Year-round, the reasonably priced bar menu features local delights and daily specials and is very popular in the evenings. Children’s meals are available and there are options for vegetarians.
