We have used this pub for over 40 years when visiting Minsmere and camping nearby. This year we decided to book a room for 3 nights, breakfast included. Breakfast was plentiful and served by cheerful staff. The evening pub meals offered plenty of choice. Our room was large with en suite and was comfortable

Staff all helpful (though had no record of my booking when we arrived, despite me getting email confirmation from Expedia). Fortunately a room was available. Breakfast very good, evening meal typical pub choice. They don't take reservations for tables for evening meals and we were taken by surprise how crowded it was. A table did become available soon however.
