The Old Coach House (Pub Dining)

If there is one thing i noticed about Norfolk is that not only is it abundant in pubs, but the pubs are not your run in the mill watering holes. They are pubs of good standing, most often notably mentioned in food magazines, or even better, Michelin starred at that, or popularly mentioned by gastrophiles or within hush-hush restaurant critic's circles. Most of these pubs are bought by well sought-after chefs in England, and some even celebrity chefs you see on tv.

(an article about the acquisition)

One of them is a noted pub called The Old Coach House. My celebrity chef favourite Marco Pierre-White bought this establishment (many others) and turned it into a gastronomic experience.


One April day, Adrian and i decided to have lunch somewhere different. We treated ourselves to some nice pub grub of a certain standard. We were not disappointed. Ther atmosphere was indeed a pub, but one that you know, that not only serves great ale, but will give you authentic coastal and country flavours akin to the locality where it is located.


When you're here, remind me to take you there.














a nice customer offered to take our photo.









Adrian loves his greene king ipa






the nice waitress gave us our menu..and said we could take it at home.

PS you know when a restaurant is confident about their pricing and their food, when they are not scared of customers taking photos of their food and prices..this one even gave us a copy of their menu





charcuterie board and a basket of fresh bread






their fresh pies. this one was chicken pot pie. adrian gives it 2 thumbs up!
