👍👍 Really nice stop on way home to Norfolk. Very welcoming. They made an error on the order which can happen but were very professional about it and therefore I would not even drop them one star. What we had were chicken burgers and they were delicious. Will go back if passing.

Anglican church
👍👍 Such an evocative location, this simple church building has so many features that connect the visitor with its early Christian history and the important characters from that era, some 1300 years ago ... but also indirectly with the Romans from half a millennium earlier.

Was overcharged on the bill for a round of drinks. No abbot's ale as there were pumps for it. Only one ale to be had. The mens toilets were a disgrace...
