The Lodge
Transformed by the owners of the luxe-for-less Briarfields Hotel, The Lodge is a delightful pub with a restaurant and rooms, of a quality usually only found at a stylish, designer inner-City hotel. A Dower House in the early 1800’s and The Lodge Hotel from 1912, the listed building offers a lovely mix of the old and the new, with wooden floors and real ales sitting happily alongside new world wines and the latest technology.
The White Horse Restaurant
The White Horse.
Brancaster Staithe, Norfolk, PE31 8BY.
Tel: 01485 210262.
A 3-star, 2 AA Rosette Inn on the A149 coast road in Brancaster Staithe, The White Horse is undoubtedly one of the best places to dine or stay in the region.
It is located on an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), with some of the most stunning panoramic views across tidal marshes and sandy beaches that you’ll see anywhere in North Norfolk. Sunsets seen from The White Horse terrace (and rises as well if you’re an early bird) are truly dazzling.
A coastal pub built in 1934, The White Horse has been refurbished and tastefully styled with chic, modern décor that perfectly complements its seashore setting. Plenty of natural materials and nautical blues, greys and whites create a calm, welcoming environment.
The light, airy conservatory restaurant overlooks the Norfolk Coastal Path and the tidal marsh beyond to Scolt Head Island, offering sweeping views. If you want to dine al fresco, the restaurant leads to a sun deck terrace or there is a landscaped sunken garden.
Dining is an unhurried experience, intended to be savored. A range of tantalizing menus bursting with fresh, local cuisine (including oodles of seafood) offers something for all tastes (children and vegetarians are well served – see the KIDS MENU). When in season you’ll find Oysters and Asparagus farmed from Brancaster Staithe itself alongside the likes of Cromer Crab, Button Mushroom and Binham Blue Cheese Crepes and Pan roast Gressingham corn fed Chicken Breast.
The dessert selection is equally mouthwatering and there is an extensive wine list to accompany the great food.
The lunch menu consists of classic pub dishes such as Fish and Chips, Ploughman’s and salad as well as some rather fabulous Tapas options.
Dining times in the restaurant (booking advised) 12Noon-2pm, 6.30-9pm.
The bar is open for drinks at 12noon.
Bar breakfast 9am-11am (just walk in)
All day dining al fresco or in the bar 11am-9pm.
The Jetty Café
The Jetty Café.
11 High Street, Cromer, Norfolk, NR27 0AB.
Tel: 01263 513814.
When Owners Louise and Dave were removing the old sign for what is now their Jetty Café, they discovered the remains of an original 1960s sign for the ‘Jetty Espresso Bar’. Strangely they had no idea it used to be a ‘Jetty Café’ in a previous life. Surely a good omen for this fabulous new Café and Coffee Shop?
The Jetty Café, situated just off the High Street in the centre of Cromer, is dedicated to offering a warm, friendly environment and great homemade food prepared from as much local produce as possible. Fresh, modern and very clean inside, the Café welcomes families with children (highchairs available).
Enjoy a tasty, light Breakfast throughout the week, and then a blowout Full English on a Sunday (including vegetarian and gluten-free options).
Tempt yourself with delicious and colourful Krazy Kupcakes cupcakes or replenish some energy after a day of shopping, sightseeing or on the beach with a Jetty Café Pizza.
Refreshment-wise, The Jetty Café has a range of Teas and freshly brewed Coffee, including herbal teas and decaffeinated options. It is fully licensed for those that want to kick back and relax with a glass of wine, a bottled beer or cider.
The Jetty Café offers a discount for NHS staff.
Opening Times:
Tues-Fri 10am-3pm, Sat 10am-5pm, Sun10am-1pm (You can pre-book tables for dining or private hire outside normal opening hours).

A well-chosen wine list offers choices from around the world both by the bottle or the glass.
There are plenty of non-alcoholic choices too, including a variety of teas and coffee. We like the wonderfully refreshing ‘Norfolk Orchards’ assortment, with locally produced Cox apple juice and non-alcoholic Pippin cocktail (local cider also featured, which is alcoholic. As cider should be).
For the peckish, a bar menu features delicious local, seasonal fare all day long.

The Neptune Inn & Restaurant
The Neptune Restaurant With Rooms.
85 Old Hunstanton Road, Old Hunstanton,
Norfolk, PE36 6HZ.
Tel: 01485 532122.
Recipient of a coveted Michelin Star (one of only two Norfolk eateries to receive such an honour) The Neptune Restaurant at Old Hunstanton is exceptional on so many levels that it must be visited at least once when visiting the area. And if you are lucky enough to reside in Norfolk then this charming treasure is more than worth the journey.
The site of ‘The Rifleman’ in the 1780’s when it was used as a store for seized contraband, it has been known as The Neptune since the 19th century. Now under the careful ownership of Kevin and Jacki Mangoelles, the Restaurant with rooms has been transformed to evoke images of the New England coast of Maine – warm and friendly, but with a generous portion of outstanding quality.
With nautical themes throughout, brown mellow tones and white clapboard walls, The Neptune could easily be fragranced by either home-baked apple pie or salty sea air. The Lloyd Loom sofas and chairs add to the relaxed ambience of the bar, lounge and restaurant.
Under Head Chef Kevin (who also earned a Michelin star in his last restaurant on the Isle of Wight), the classic-modern food at The Neptune is lovingly created from fresh local produce such as Thornham Oysters and Plums from Orchard Farm. Already a prestigious 3 AA Rosette restaurant, The Neptune is a permanent 5 star fixture in the Good Food Guide.
True to its origin as a coaching inn, The Neptune offers accommodation in 7 fabulous en-suite bedrooms, all furnished with the clean lines of white, hand made New England furniture.
Dinner served Tues – Sun 7pm-9pm.
Sunday lunch 12Noon – 1.30pm.
Lunch Tuesday – Friday by arrangement.
Closed Mondays.
See an example Dinner menu.
