North West Norfolk Pub Scene 36 | SPRING 2009
NORFOLK NIPS | Norfolk Coastal Feature in surveying for the 2010 CAMRA National Good Beer Guide and judging for our Branch Pub of the Year I have made a few trips to the north west part of Norfolk to sample some of the pubs in this all too infrequently visited part of our Branch area. Here are my comments on a few of them, not in any particular order. A small group of us visited the charming north Norfolk coastal village of Blakeney. There are four real ale outlets to choose from, two hotels that have non residents bars, The Blakeney Hotel and The Manor Hotel, and two pubs, The White Horse selling mainly Adnams and The Kings Arms. We visited The Kings Arms as although the others all offer good real ale, the Kings Arms offers the widest choice. Here in this old white flint washed walled building with the date 1760 inscribed on the roof tiles were a range of beers form Adnams, Marston’s Theakstons, Woodforde’s and Greene King which are dispensed both by handpump and by gravity. A short journey east along the A149 coast road is the small village of Salthouse, a popular destination for birdwatchers and ornithologists. It also has one pub, The Dun Cow, situated on a small hill with great views overlooking Salthouse Marshes. Another fine range of beers are available that include, Adnams Bitter, Tim Taylor Landlord, Greene King Abbot and Woodforde’s Wherry. We also visited Stiffkey, a small village between Blakeney and Wells. This village once boasted three pubs but now only The Red Lion survives. This is a fairly food orientated pub with an extensive menu selling real ales from Adnams and Woodforde’s Moving slightly inland from the coast road there are some other little gems worth visiting. One of better known villages is Binham famous for its medieval Priory. The village pub The Chequers has also gained some notoriety over recent years as it is home of one of North Norfolk’s small micro breweries Front Street. The pub sells beers from its own brewery such as Callums Ale, Binham Cheer, Unity Strong plus some guests. There is also a wide range of premium Belgian and German beers available. The pub also offers good quality home cooked food. A little further along the road is The Three Horseshoes in Warham.
