Food Menu
Our kitchen team are constantly striving to devise innovative new dishes, as well as adding new twists to age old pub classics accompanied by a raft of tempting specials each week. We are well known for our local seafood dishes – a passion which won us the award for ‘Great British Seafood Pub Chef of the Year’
for the Wild Seabass and Norfolk Razor Clams dish.

We understand the danger of cross-contamination and that more and more people are now suffering with allergies and
intolerances and that each customer’s needs are individual. Despite taking precautions, normal kitchen operations may involve some shared cooking and preparation areas, equipment, and utensils. As we do use many allergens in our kitchen daily, there is always a risk that unintended cross-contamination traces may be found in any dish we serve. We always do everything we can to ensure the food you order is suitable for your allergen(S)/dietary choices.
We would like to point out we cannot guarantee our food & drinks are 100% free from allergens.
Please let our team know if you have any allergies before you order. We are happy to help should you have any questions.
