Friendly service food was great lovely place

Tucked away this place offers good solid food and refreshments with a good outdoors located close to the beach. Car park is limited but free.

What a superb pub, wonderful atmosphere great traditional pub that are very hard to find now, I will be back 100%

Very good food good cooking best all round love dogs would not go anywhere eles

Nice little pub. Staff are very friendly, atmosphere wasn't the best but it was lunchtime on a Thursday

last meal was on weds the 17th.one of the best value for money places we have eaten at,We are trying for another visit in next few weeks

It was the best carvery I have ever had. Everything was cooked perfectly. A very friendly, helpful place I will return!

Lovely pub run by very nice staff. Campervans very welcome (phone before arriving.. about 9 spaces for vans). Food exceptional and very reasonable. Vegan options. Dog friendly. On the beach, which is a great walk all the way to Great Yarmouth and beyond. Will return.

It's a great place, busy, but not crowded

A great pub where you can park your motorhome with prior booking. The food is excellent and the prices are very reasonable. This is a pub where the locals will make you feel very welcome.

Good selection of beers and spirits, good food, genial host, makes you feel really comfortable, a very nice place to go to.

We walked up 2 this pub by the beach went in 4 a drink a few people in there bar lady was lovely she brought r dog a treat lovely place quirky

Sunday dinner at the Never Turn Back. Wow!!. The carvery here is just out of this world. £9 for a choice of 3 meats. 2 large slices of meat and as much vegatables that you can get on your plate. I went for the roast pork and paid just £1 extra to get another slice. The meat was succulent and melt in your mouth. The crackling was crispy with a great salty taste. The potatoes were crispy, the veg was perfect, not mushy, the gravy was nice and thick. Together with perfectly made stuffing and a yorkshire pudding on the side the dinner was completely fullfilling. My mum and dad told me that I would have the best carvery ever and they were not wrong. You need to make sure you book ahead to get a table at this wonderful pub in Caister. Get yourself down there for the best Sunday dinner you will ever have. Dog friendly as well.

Sunday lunch was the best we have ever had in an eatery. Choice of 4 roasts and all the veg were fresh not frozen. Lovely staff and reasonably priced so popular you have to book well in advance. Thanks again for a lovely Sunday lunch.

First vist today for a carvery lunch. I can honestly say it is one of the best we have ever had l. Lovey tender meat thickly sliced. Mash potatoes are definitely the best ever. Roast potatoes very nice stuffing. Good choice of vegetables and big Yorkshire puds everything cooked to perfection. Served with a smile. The staff make you feel very welcome and go out of there way to help. My wife is a wheelchair user and they really helped her taking her to the carvery and getting her food for her and taking her back to our table so I could get my carvery much appreciated l. 2 carverys 2 drinks and 2 deserts for £32 very good value for money we will definitely be back.

Had a very enjoyable early evening at the pub. There were 6 adults and 4 children and One dog. We were made very welcome on 14.10.23. The food was excellent and great value. The staff went above and beyond we have a very fussy eater and they accommodated her needs fully. Can not praise the pub any higher than 10/10

A great family run pub with great food and a great atmosphere. Pre booked motorhomes are welcome to stay overnight if they us the pub.

Nice atmosphere, welcoming pub. And dog friendly. And had local beers.

Did not eat as there were dogs in the place my glass was sticky and inappropriate for the drink. The toilets need a thorough cleaning. Will not be back.

Such a great place, fantastic food, location & lovely owners. Always a friendly & enjoyable visit with our dig Ted

Fantastic fish & chips & service,highly recommend

We stayed here in our motorhome. The food was really nice and very reasonable. If you're looking for an overnight park up we'd recommend you give this pub a go. The landlord Ian is very helpful, ring and book a table. Close to a beautiful sand beach.

Brilliant pub stopover in the campervan. Food good and very reasonably priced.

Old fashioned pub , Didn't eat here , very good menu , food that was brought out for other looked good.

Great little place. Fantastic and friendly staff. Pet friendly. Absolute bargain for money. Definitely recommended 👍🏻

Great little pub on the beach at Caister 👍🏻

Excellent food at very good prices. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Plenty of parking and very close to beautiful dog friendly beach. Will definitely visit again when in the area.

Friendly pub restaurant. Good food that is freshly cooked by the Landlord's wife. First class service I strongly recommend it.

It was our first time we had been to this pub and what a hidden gem. The actual pub was just gorgeous. Beautiful beer garden and the beach is just a stones throw away. Inside we were greeted by friendly staff. We chose to have a bite to eat for lunch and what can I say. The food was reasonably price, great value for money and was cooked to perfection! Can’t speak highly enough about this establishment. Will certainly be returning.

Stayed in motorhome in car park. Great location.

Absolutely fabulous meal with my family - Ian welcomed us back as if we were long lost family, we regularly eat at the Never Turn Back when we are on holiday. Sandra stopped to chat, even though she was busy cooking. It is like coming home, as both Ian and Sandra remember names. Nothing is too much trouble for Ian, Sandra or their staff. I cannot recommend eating at the Never Turn Back, but I would always ring or book if you want an evening meal in the restaurant. If you have your dogs, they will always accommodate you in the bar or beer garden. It is a fabulous pub, where manners are appreciated & deserved. Cannot recommend highly enough x

Nice place, will visit again food was very good the staff where helpful and friendly. Back again this year 2022 already been here twice and booked a table for Friday. This place is a gem. The best place to eat and drink in the Great Yarmouth area. Back again 2023 still a gem, we Two more visits plan this week

Best place to eat in caister greet food and great service xxx

We like it here so much we returned for seconds! Really lovely staff, food is some of the best we’ve had. If you want dinner, you need to book well in advance. Highly recommended.

Great pub, good beer great pub garden, right next to the sea

Great food and service at the pub. It's got a nice garden including its own "beach". Reasonably priced and a good range of beers.

We came for dinner on Thursday afternoon after a 2 hour drive up from Essex and apart from our chatter being interrupted by a very rude family in the garden we had a delicious meal - so much so we came again today to get out of the rain. The food is such good value and always delicious 😋 100% recommend

Will not be visiting again, neither will the family on the next table. The landlord made a huge deal about us moving a picnic table 2 metre. I was incredulous and when I asked why I was told my house my rules and that we should have asked. He was very misogynistic and as a woman u felt quite uncomfortable as he shouted in my eldery friends face.

We were having such a nice lunch in the Never Turn Back. Sadly our pleasant experience was destroyed by the most entitled people I have seen in ages. The landlord tried to exercise his managerial rights in asking a customer at a garden table to not move the garden furniture ( largely because, for customers safety the tables are covered by CCTV) which invoked the most obscene torrent of foul language and abuse. The professional response from the pubs management confirm to me that this is a great place to visit who have the customers interests at heart. I just wish those entitled punters would stay away.

My house my rules is not what you say to paying customers, for moving a table in the beer garden. The rudest landlord i have ever come across.... made to feel like i was in a prisoner of war camp. Certainly will not be coming here again... give this place a wide berth....

Lovely pub, great location, friendly and helpful staff. Bonus for us it is dog friendly. We stopped here for a drink and a rest before walking behind the pub to the beach. Great view's of the sea. Nicely spaced seating outside and a lovely area of seats made to feel like you are on the beach 👍🏻😊

Visited here for a spott of lunch and was very disappointed by the staff. The food was nice however after seeing the staff's level of cleanliness I was instantly put off. The young girl behind the bar was constantly touching dogs then serving food without seemingly washing her hands. I understand this is a dog friendly pub however you would expect the staff not to touch them while serving food and drinks. When my husband went to bar for drinks, the filthy man behind the bar and after reading some of the other reviews I assume is the landlord. Decided to blow smoke into my husbands face he did apologise through his own laughter as he seemed to find this funny. This was incredibly rude and disrespectful, I understand that these electronic cigarettes are not illegal in pubs however I would advise that it's not appropriate while serving people's food and drinks. I have reported all of this to EHO and I hope this is rectifed soon, as I work in the culinary industry myself and this level of uncleanliness is both irresponsible and disgusting.

What a lovely pub the staff are great the garden is good and a fab beach as well

Was pleasantly surprised when I ate at this pub. As the food at other pubs in the town is rubbish. Anyway had the best fish and chips here ever. The pub is a bit tired but it has a certain local feel about it. It’s right by the beech and does a good pint. Dog friendly and defo worth a visit .

If your looking for good value British pub food this is the place for you excellent portion sizes and red hot meals . Dogs are welcome but be advised you will need to book

Bought back memories of childhood, Went out of season on a lovely day although quite I bet it gets very busy. Brilliant location and a iconic building definitely worth a try, the service was great and the food was fresh and tasty. Good choice of beers from the bar, lovely interior with a large open garden, easily accessible from the beach and town.

Nice pub with good atmosphere. Food good pub grub. Stayed in the motorhome in the car park for free if you eat in the pub. We'll worth a visit.

Loved it! And met Arthur and Nick. Lovely fellows with good Beers and Bourbon! Cheers

Only stopped for a drink as there was a 1 hour wait for food. Looks decent enough though.

Excellent food and atmosphere, doggy friendly

Lovely dog friendly pub. Good food at a reasonable price

If you are in the bar (they closed the lounge at 3.00pm when we arrived), you HAVE to like dogs. You'll find yourself being stared at by other people's dogs, which the bar was full of. The owner was smoking vapes behind the bar. Food was okay but I won't return.

Update much needed. Very run down .

Lovely pub,friendly, good home cooked food ,very reasonable priced,definitely would recommend,dog friendly

Just spent 3 nights in a campervan in the car park of this lovely place which is next to the beach and really quiet. We booked ahead as limited spaces and didn't want to risk not staying here having returned after a stay at Easter. The staff are really friendly, helpful and very accommodating to your needs. Food is tasty, good portions and well priced. We wouldn't want to stay anywhere else if in the area.

Great little pub,great food,great beer,dog friendly say no more 🫶

Stopped here in our motorhome Landlord and staff very welcoming We had pan fried sea bass with chips and salad very nice 😋 Good selection of beers and cider 👌

Nive local pub 5 mins from beach, can hear sea while relaxing

Doesn't look inviting from the outside but changes once inside everyone very friendly good food at a sensible price and the service is superb

Ian and Sandra are perfect hosts, both welcoming you on arrival. We stayed there in our motorhome for three nights and ate in the Restaurant in the evenings. The food is top class, perfectly cooked and reasonably priced too. You will not find better. Plenty of outdoor tables and right on the beach. Highly recommended.

Excellent seaside pub, dog friendly made us feel very welcome. Highly recommended!

We visited here twice while on holiday from Scotland Welcoming staff with excellent selection of drinks and food . Food was good home cooked food and fairly priced. Dogs welcome indoor, beer garden superb . We walked to this from caister haven across the beach to the pub . Defo visit here if your in the area .

This is a friendly fantastic place to drink and eat. And perfect for motorhome stop overs. Staff couldn't help us enough and accommodates us a parking bay at short notice. Been from the North Haddock and chips were fab. Dog friendly.

Nice flat car park ,very friendly staff ,food was nice dog friendly short walk to a very nice beach ⛱️ would come back

Had 3 rib eye steaks with the works. Cooked to perfection. Lovely pub with awesome owners. We visit when we are in Yarmouth.

We parked overnight in our campervan in the pub's car park (which is next to the beach), with the owners permission if we use the pub for food and drink. The pub food was excellent value for money

Bad pub with a really disgusting bar person or manager we were pre warned he's hot and cold avoid this place

Lovely pint and food, would recommend, almost an the beach.

Really warm welcome and some great lunch (we had the basket meals). An actual good selection of beers (about 8 or 9 on tap) which most places don't have. Have read some of the negative comments, but our experience of this place was genuinely a polar opposite. The landlord, and all the staff spent time talking to us, showing is their cat and all the stories about the place. Yes, the pub is not new or glitzy, but we went away commenting on how nice it actually is. We will be returning next time we come to Norfolk

Lovely little pub,tucked away almost on the beach. Great food, good selection of ales, dog friendly and always a warm welcome.

We never turn back either, great staff, great food, great place

If your looking for a nice meal look no further Sundays you have to book

Good value and very welcoming staff . They are always busy for Sunday lunch.

Lovely place to relax and have a drink

After travelling from Birmingham it was great to just rock up on the car park, find our allocated numbered spot & walk right onto the beach with the dogs to relax..... Very welcoming & friendly staff in the pub, great food, atmosphere - especially with the locals - & a brilliant pint to boot.... Would definitely recommend for a pub stop over in a campervan or motorhome & we will definitely go back, thank you for a great couple of days

Very friendly staff Food Spot on Good pint. Good location we new it's a dog friendly pub but the main bar area smells of Damp Dog you can even smell it on your clothes when you come out ( before anyone starts to slate me for my comment I have had dogs for years)

Very nice staff very helpful. Stayed in campervan for 2 nights. Reasonable priced food. Nice food lovely size portion. Only.down side was the toilets someone had been sick in mens. Besides that there wasn't very clean. Other wise 5 star. Very close to beach 1 min walk.

Just spent 2 nights in a campervan in the car park (booked ahead). Extremely quiet, right by the beach. Owners and staff were really friendly and food was tasty and well priced. Will definitely be back!

What a absolute gem of a place , very friendly dog pub the food is fantastic. Stayed over in my camper and the staff are great .

Great food, the location by the beach is excellent and the staff were really friendly. Highly recommended.

Lovely food and very friendly staff

Great location next to the beach . Very friendly bar staff, traditional pub food. Our dog was made a real fuss of. There was a large puddle in the car park due to the recent heavy rain but this did not get in the way of our parking spot and there was room to walk round to get into the pub. 4 vans parked up for the night.

Lovely little pub. Lad behind the bar was polite and overall great atmosphere. We sat putside with the dogs but dogs are allowed in the bar area. Would definitely reccomend

We came here on recommendations, and they are not wrong! Very friendly service, fantastic food and reasonably priced. They accommodate motorhome stopovers but book in advance.

We stayed over here in the camper van they serve very good food with very very friendly staff 😊 definitely be back again

WOW we were made to feel at home straight from the booking process with John and then our late arrival on the Friday. Lunch on Saturday was superb and then this was beaten by the carvery on Sunday. We will definitely be back Thank you...

Absolutely love this place. Always welcoming. Like a pub should be

Absolutely great place, great food and a great atmosphere. Food was hot and tasty, drinks were great and the barman was excellent.

Had a very tasty carvery here on Sunday. The staff were very friendly and the food was very good. A popular place so booking is advised
