The Lighthouse Inn in North Norfolk

1, It calls it's a dog friendly inn, but only if you have 2 dogs. We were asked to put one dog in the car, but unfortunately, we had walked. But if we hadn't, which dog do you choose to isolate?

We came here for lunch on the 2nd November. My oh my, we all (4 of us) had the steak and ale pie and we're blown away. Delicious, just perfect. Prices are very good and the ambience was perfect. Keep doing what you're doing!! We will be returning next time we're in the area.

Revisiting the lighthouse on a half term holiday breakaway in Norfolk. Once again didn't disappoint great food and service. Would recommend to all and continue to visit.

Wow, what an amazing place, with amazing food. Didn’t know if they done Gluten Free. It didn’t say on the menu but the staff couldn’t be more helpful when I asked. The chef really knew what he was doing and the food was amazing. Can’t wait to go for the 3rd time and would recommend it to anyone. Gluten Free or not.

Popped in to the Lighthouse Inn with my partner and dog today. A friendly welcome and great atmosphere. The food was great and very tasty. Value for money. Will definitely return.

Went for a casual lunch, disgusted with the way staff were treated by management. The food was nice but waited 45 minutes for it to come out. Place looks run down and dirty. Would not recommend it to anyone.

Excellent and generous portions. Friendly and accommodating staff. Nice gardens plus play area for kids. Welcomes all dogs with doggy ice cream and free poo bags!

Lovely family meal whilst on holiday camping on the site behind the pub/ restaurant!! 5 adults and 4 children and everyone loved the food they chose , empty plates said it all !!! Service was excellent even though it was very busy and staff were very friendly and helpful . Just a shame that not all meals on website were being offered today!! We will return to both the camp site and the restaurant again!!

We booked as a group of four, over the phone, a month in advance for a birthday meal out with my parents who live locally. Our group was rushed by the manager to finish and not told in advance that they close at 8 (table booked for 7). This was a bank holiday Sunday in August, what one might expect to be their peak trading period. Limited menu with many items sold out, such as a Sunday lunch on a Sunday...that's ok and I understand that happens, so I ordered a mixed grill instead. The waitress came back and said mixed grill was sold out, when I queried what part had sold out (as I could of gone without some of it) was told 'all of it' – I noted that eggs, steak, ham etc were still available on other dishes so I was a little perplexed if “all of it” was sold out . My partner ordered risotto; when it arrived we queried where the rocket (that was advertised with the dish) was, as it looked barren. The waitress checked with chef and was told that was sold out - this should have been explained before the meal came out. Nothing was offered in return as a substitution. We ordered a liqueur coffee and was given several options. We chose Tia Maria and the manager came to us and told us they had run out of Tia Maria (really?). We said that’s ok, we'll have Baileys instead of Tia Maria and was told that they're closing. We were told by (who we assumed to be) the Manager that they’re short staffed and really busy….I felt that’s really not our problem having already (attempted) to spend and not inconsiderable amount with them. Two stars as the food that they did have and was prepared to cook was nice. I got the impression that they really couldn’t be bothered, it’s really bad service, my parents live locally and its trade like theirs that keeps places like this going through the close winter season. Good luck over the winter but we certainly wouldn't return when there's so many other , more welcoming places locally.

Me and a couple of friends came for a meal once again at the lighthouse inn. This time we sat in the garden as was a lovely sunny day. Even though no table service outside the staff where every helpful with sauces cutlery and anything else we forgot to take out. To too it off the food as always was amazing. this place is be coming our go to spot. We love it

Nice pub, friendly and casual. Food was good, although quite expensive and not plentiful. Very poor choice of vegan options, we were there for dinner and there was a choice of risotto which I’m not keen on and a mixed bean wrap! Dogs allowed inside which is a bonus. Not sure I would go again.

Lovely food, quick service. Dog friendly and very friendly staff. We enjoyed our food and had quick service. We called in on the off chance after a day on the beach. Dog walking field nearby. Lolita was especially friendly and efficient

Been here many times and never lets you down and allow dogs in , the food is always first class as is the service. Thank you everyone.

Absolutely fab food. Great choices. Staff are all lovely and friendly. Wish this was our local. Food is reasonably priced, fresh and tasty. Very welcoming to humans and dogs (even our grouchy dog).

This was our silver wedding on Wednesday 5th June, so overall we were very disappointed. Good food, but spoiled by 4 dogs inside, 1 yapping throughout meal, and the dog owner-like many dog-owners- selfish in the extreme and only interested in their own pleasure, and did nothing to placate/correct the dog. In turn, it made other dogs bark. I expect that when they are happy with a pub full of dogs, hygiene is not top of their priority list🤔 Had sharing seafood platter which was good on presentation initially, but hygiene very poor as three plates/serving bowls had large chips/chunks out, and finger bowl, with lemon/water, ironically chipped badly and replaced. We came last year, and was good, but has gone downhill in the pursuit of profit. Contamination very probable, great shame but toilets and inside pub need overhauling. Building repairs being done outside, but need to be matched inside. In need of TLC. Obviously internal hygiene not very high on priorities. Staff were good, but were not interested in conduct of dogs. Maybe the owner should consider this, together with condition of the Pub.

Great food & well cooked vegetables, which is unusual for standard pub grub Lovely pie of the day & the rack of ribs was delicious If I didn’t live 150 miles away , I’d be back tomorrow Great beer too , very well kept Dog friendly

What a fabulous place this is, the food is outstanding and doggy friendly too. Staff were so welcoming and all the food was top quality and piping hot. All your usual pub classics and crab is their speciality - the crab linguini was delicious and the fish tacos. An amazing dessert menu including sticky toffee pudding, jam sponge, syrup sponge, rhubarb crumble, biscoff cheesecake to name a few. We just couldn’t resist and everything is home made. Can I recommend this place more, in fact we booked to go back on Sunday for Sunday roast and we can’t wait.

Steak & ale pie packed with meat. Not really a pie as the topping was soggy and more like a thick slice of bread. Absolutely swimming in gravy which made it difficult to eat without getting all over your clothes. Veggies were cold. New potatoes hot and delicious. Sticky toffee pudding fab. Would go again but wouldn’t have seafood. Young waitresses all very pleasant.

Our twins and my husband chose this as the venue to bring me for Mother’s Day lunch and what a fabulous choice! Warmly welcomed, very busy but attentive service. Wide choice of drinks and a wonderful menu of delicious food. I started with a cosmopolitan cocktail as it was Mother’s Day after all :) all mums were given a little treat bag of chocolates and treats, beautifully wrapped, very thoughtful. Our starters included prawn and salmon cocktail, whitebait and chicken skewers. For mains I had my favourite Sunday meal … lamb shank which fell off the bone and was totally delicious accompanied by roasties and veg. Hubby went for beef & ale pie, our daughter a huge portion of amazing bbq ribs and she ended up taking 1/2 the portion home, our son had chicken stack…. All plates were cleared (except for 1/2 the ribs). We only ever eat two courses but the desserts were so inviting that even though we were pretty full from our first two courses we gave in, I shared a Malteser sundae with my hubby, our daughter had melting chocolate fudge cake (our son was too full to be tempted ☺️) All of the staff were friendly, engaging and nothing was too much trouble. A wonderful setting with a great atmosphere. We’ve been there previously in the summer where we ate in their lovely outdoor garden. Our family most certainly highly recommend this pub/restaurant. THANK YOU ☺️

Absolutely brilliant food. Excellent. I had sweetcorn chowder with salmon, was excellent. And hubby had surf and turf, massive prawns and delicious!

Booked a table for 5 last minute on a Saturday night and got a table no problem. Lovely friendly staff on arrival. Good menu for everyone to choose from including children. Home cooked food and amazing deserts. Good value to boot!

Such a beautiful part of Norfolk and such an amazing place this was the lighthouse was so friendly and the service and food was incredibly one of the best sirloin I've eaten in a long time and the barman went that extra mile for us two🥰

We ordered the macaroni cheese from the kids menu. It was boiled pasta with a paper cup of cheese on the side. No sauce, just boiled. We ordered a gin cocktail, it was gin with machine diet lemonade. We ordered a burger and chips, it was £17.50. Tasteless and over cooked. The food is awful, frozen and reheated. The gravy with the pie was from a packet. Save yourself £100 and get some ready meals from Tesco.

The pub was nice and clean, with a pleasant atmosphere. My wife and I had fish and chips and a crab salad. The staff were nice, but when I went to the bar to pay, I was asked whether I wanted to give a tip of 10 or 15 per cent! It's a pub lunch, for heavens sake, and we are OAPs!

Very friendly, welcoming staff, dog friendly and beer good. The only criticism we had was their food pricing seems a bit strange. I had a huge portion of salmon and prawn cocktail for £9, which was excellent value but my husband had chicken skewers which consisted of just 2 skewers for £10, not so good value?

We popped in for lunch since we were local for New Year, the service here was amazing, the lady (assuming owner) was so so so friendly, smiley and so helpful. The food was amazing and an overall great visit. We have a caravan too and now are thinking of returning to their little site next door!

We stayed nearby and called in for a drink,we wanted to have something to eat new years day and they could fit us in,we are a party of 16 so we pre ordered which wasn't a problem for us,very friendly waitresses and bar staff and the food was lovely,everyone enjoyed there meal and most had three courses,we will be back,happy new year

Called in on the off chance on New Year’s Day - Mary Anne was so helpful - gave us a large table for 2 as we had our dog with us and opened a bottle of Provence Rose as the Pinot Grigio by the glass wasn’t available. Fabulous food -gorgeous prawn cocktail to start and I had the most amazing steak and ale pie - so tasty! Highly recommended — a lot of pubs in Norfolk have a quite condescending manner towards us tourists but not here - super - you won’t be disappointed !

Great food, strongly recommend. Homemade and tasty. Quality and quantity. Nice setting and friendly staff.

We popped in for lunch Christmas Eve and I must say the lunch was perfect had massive gammon eggs and chips fresh salad. Service was good a lot better than many other local pubs.

We have made a point of coming to the Lighthouse Inn when in Norfolk for a number of years - the main reason being the fantastic food and range of menu. It changed hands a couple of years ago. We have given things time to settle and for the new owners to find their feet but after this evening’s terrible food we will not be back! After a lovely day on the coast it is such a disappointment and horrible end to our day out! Husband ordered chilli con carne and I ordered pork ribs with ‘hand cut’ chips and coleslaw. The first rack of ribs I was served up was dry and overdone (almost burnt) so I sent them back. The 2nd rack were also just as dry but I was so hungry and quite frankly, embarrassed at the terrible quality that I started to try to eat them. (The coleslaw was lovely)The ‘hand cut’ chips seemed to be out of a packet (we have similar at home from the supermarket) and more than half of them were discoloured. I sent these back as well. It took so long for the fresh chips to appear that by the time they did arrive I had finished the dry ribs - and all I wanted was to get out of there!! Cue……can we speak to the manager please. The prices are certainly NOT a reflection of the quality of meals we received this evening and are nothing like the quality we have received in the past. The ribs, chips and coleslaw cost £16 and were absolutely awful - I was so hungry and disappointed I could have cried!The chilli was reheated (not cooked fresh) and cost £12. The rice was lovely (a mix of rice with wild rice) but the sauce itself was clearly microwaved. The nachos were a nice flavour and crispy but for the price this dish should have been prepared fresh.We do know how hospitality has struggled because of the pandemic but this is no excuse to serve up substandard food to patrons. We will, in future, be taking our loyalty and custom elsewhere.To give the manager credit he did apologise for the poor quality of food. However, there was no mention of perhaps not charging us for our drinks or taking any money off the bill to try to apologise and keep our custom. We paid full whack and feel thoroughly cheated…….and still hungry with a 3 hour journey home!

Just had another fabulous meal at the lighthouse Inn. After a lovely day out on the coast. Home cooked and really good quality food. Excellent service and dog friendly. Will be back there again that's for sure.

Good food but a little limited for vegetarians. Dog friendly inside and out. Great staff, clean and we felt very safe.

This was the best chilli con carne I’ve had in a pub in ages. The rice was basmati and wild rice, with ground beef (I believe) and chocolate. Served with really nice nachos, not bland. The staff were very obliging and happy to bring me chilli flakes even before I had tasted the chilli itself - but that’s just to my taste. Even better was the fact that I was to wash down the chilli with a pint of Leffe which you don’t often find on tap. No hesitation about returning again.

The inn is a lovely dog friendly restaurant/ pub and camping/ caravan venue. We were a group of 4 with 3 dogs, popped in for lunch, the staff had treats for the dogs and they felt very special. We enjoyed it so much we went back for an evening, again the staff were wonderful, service and food was great, good choice on menu. I would highly recommend if you like a very relaxed, warm and welcoming atmosphere with great food and dog friendly

Good variety menu, nicely cooked and presented. Nice atmosphere and staff were very friendly, dogs made very welcome.

We stopped on our way past as we saw the sign said it was dog friendly. We had a late lunch and the food was really good (really tasty chicken burger and steak/ale pie). We hadn't expected the food to be so good! Service was good and very friendly. And our puppy was spoilt!! Would definitely come back again.

Lighthouse had been recommended and looked good when we drove by on our holiday. We rang to book and were told they were full(a good sign) . Rang back another day and booked for next night. Slightly odd that we noted when we arrived a sign saying no more bookings accepted but walk ins ok ??Anyway we were keen on sampling the local fish and were not disappointed . We were warned food might be 20 mins or so-no problem as we were on holiday-odd that people sitting around us were getting restless.Staff checked with us regularly and food arrived on time-Excellemt .pity I was driving as my one beer also great

Excellent service and food. Landlord and lady made is feel very comfortable and set us up for a perfect evening dinin. Will come back furcsure

We had a fantastic time here, amazing food, very generous portion sizes and very friendly members of staff. Thank you!

A very quick note on a beautiful blue sky day. Outstanding food (skate wings) at the Lighthouse Inn. I’m hard to please but this was belting. Time for a beach walk before another drink…..what a plate of food!!

We have been on the North Norfolk coast for the week .Had 2 meals here the best place to eat all week will be back that's for sure.The lighthouse staff are all friendly and very professional at what they do .For the meals and portion size you get are well worth the money .Can't wait to visit this wonderful place again next time we are on holiday in the area .

Myself, my husband and my little girl came here for dinner last night 23/9. All the staff were very friendly and polite. The food was amazing, my husband said that’s the best steak he’s had for a long time. I had the salmon which was really nice too. My daughter had a mixed platter which is a great idea and I have not seen it in any pubs near me before. It consisted of carrot sticks, cheddar cheese sticks, cucumber and nachos. Made a lovely change from a hot dinner for her which she doesn’t always want. Will definitely be back when next up that way. Thank you for a lovely experience.

Just trying out lunch for you all at the lighthouse inn. Delicious Norfolk mussels available until April - perfect with frites or bread. We reckon there was a dog at each table - dog biscuits distributed accordingly & only 5 mins away ! 10% off voucher for all East Ruston Cottages guest! Muriel had a fabulous time!

Vegetarian nut roast has lard on the roast potatoes, so not vegetarian, even though they confirmed that the vegetarian meal was completely vegetarian when we ordered. Ran out of roast dinners on a Sunday but took orders they couldn't fulfil. Forgot to bring out a meal and then ran out of that dish (not a roast!). A staff member came out to apologise was rather abrupt/rude so I asked for the manager which was him. It was a shame we had paid upfront, needless to say we wont be returning.

We regular visit the Lighthouse for Sunday lunch when in Norfolk which is often but after today’s visit will not be returningThe food was not up to the standard we had expected after previous visits. The supposed Roast potatoes were not roasted just par boiled and just shown the oven. the cabbage was only half cooked Our biggest shock was the amount of dogs in the pub. The table next to us were 3 couples with 4 dogs, In the short time we stayed in the pub less than an hour, we counted a total of 7 dogs. Why were they allowed to be in the same area as other diners, why not be outside as were many other dog owners. There are people who are allergic to dogs, children who are frightened of dogs.

Excellent food, and reasonably priced. However, the manager/owner treats his staff like slaves and it has put me off from going there again. I could hear the way he talked to the staff, who were lovely and helpful. I think he thought he was Gordon Ramsey!

We had used this inn a few years ago before the current owners took over. What a difference now from a cold and un inviting place to the complete opposite now.

We popped into The Lighthouse for a cappuccino one morning recently. Although the pub was only just opening for business, everybody was very friendly and happy to serve us our cappuccinos. We were impressed by the inviting interior, too, and eventually settled in the spacious beer garden to enjoy the sun. A good look at their menu soon convinced us to take our lunch here - ham, egg and chips for my husband, and a Ploughman's for me - and we were not disappointed. The food arrived very fast, was lovingly presented and tasted even better, and all for a very reasonable £10 each. We will definitely return to also sample their evening menu and look forward to spending some more time at this friendly pub.

Food ok at best, service very bad with very long wait. Shame as it could have been nice as the menu was quite good. Based on the service i would not go back or recommend

My look like pub from the outside however inside is more restaurant vibe. Beautiful seafood, generous portions on the moules et frites which french for moules and french fries. It was cooked in the french style as well. Rather impressed. Came day before for pint however only stayed for the one as wasn’t really pub more of seafood restaurant. Great food and service though. Plus Italy and french wines, which is obviously the best wines. They have New Zealand wines if you prefer lower grade of wine but each to there own.

My family and I visited the restaurant on the 3rd September for a meal, the food I must say was lovely, but my disappointment was with the waitress who was not wearing the same uniform that evening. I asked the young waitress in the lighthouse uniform, if it was possible to have a jug of water, who then went and asked the said waitress with out the uniform, who made you feel it was to much trouble as she rolled her eyes, my meal then came without my sides I had ordered and was made to feel very uncomfortable about asking where they were. I don’t think you should be made to feel your being a nuisance over asking for a jug of water.

On a family holiday in #barnsbythebeach with my two daughters, my son-in-law, my 5 year old grandson and our dog Rigs we decided to have a meal out at The Lighthouse as they were dog friendly. We couldn't of asked for a better place, the food was amazing and the staff were brilliant. It was well worth the visit. Thank you to all the staff for making us all feel so welcome, including Rigs

Had a family meal, lovely staff, great service and amazing food, I had the burger, very tasty and the onion rings were highlight. Very enjoyable, recommended

Stopped here for lunch, i had the bacon and brie sandwiches, my wife had tuna and mayo and my 2 boys had cheese and ham, all served with crisps and salad. Absolutely lovely, friendly service and prompt food preparation. thoroughly recommend.

We have been here many, many times and it was a real favourite of ours. After visiting last night, we will NOT be returning. The two young ladies on the door told us that they were fully booked.(OK, fair enough). We were told we could sit outside but because we had not booked there would be a long wait. No apology, no warm welcome that we used to receive. We were referred to as YOU GUYS, we are a married couple, my husband is a GUY, I, as a woman am not. You have lost at least 3 good customers Lighthouse inn.

We stopped at The Lighthouse Inn for some lunch and wasn't disappointed. There were two of us and two dogs, they made us all feel welcome. Makes a lot of difference when on holiday with your pets to find good dog friendly places to eat or drink. Food was very good, and staff were very friendly. It was very busy for a Thursday lunch time so glad we managed to get a table without booking. Would definitely recommend this pub if you was staying in the Walcott/ Bacton area.

Happened to cycle by here when we were hungry so called in for lunch. Loved it so much we returned a few days later for another lunch.Great pub, friendly hard working staff and all so polite. Food was amazing, piping hot and so so tasty. The best meals we had during our holidays.

Such a warm welcome. Great service & delicious food. An absolute all round win win. Thank you. We’ll be back. Dogs welcome & a great beer garden.

Stopped off here for a bite of lunch as we have visited in the past and had a lovely meal. Unfortunately, this time, the food was not up to the usual standard. The ploughman's lunch was awful, very stale baguette which was cold with 3 lettuce leafs, 3 quarter's of tomato, very soft pickled onions which looked like they had seen better days. Also, lots of dogs allowed in the restaurant while you are eating. All in all I would not recommend and will not be going back!

Totally recommend this charming pub and restaurant - very good food, friendly and attentive service, lovely atmosphere and a nice beer garden. And they're dog friendly too! Our recent visit was for a Sunday roast lunch - which was delicious, with tender meat, nicely cooked vegetables and amazing home made Yorkshire puddings. We'll be back soon to have the lobster and crab salad.

We booked for a Thursday lunchtime. We choose the lighthouse as another restaurant was fully booked.We viewed a menu online and noted it had vegetarian choices.When we arrived we were warmly welcomed and our dog was offered a treat.We sat near the bar and were impressed by the layout / decor.A drinks order was quickly taken and then we looked at the menu which differs from those online. They have a different lunch / evening offering.We ordered the crab salad, a steak and ale pie and a jackfruit burger.All food was well presented and very tasty. We then had deserts - banoffe pie and sticky toffee pudding. Again well presented and enjoyed by all.The bill including drinks came to £60. The whole experience was first rate from arrival to exit. Would happily eat here again.

Dropped in to the Lighthouse Inn on a ride out to the coast. I must say all the four meals ordered were excellent and enjoyed by us all. The service was all you could hope for, friendly and efficient. The landlord (or I assume he was) took the time to come and speak to us and make us feel most welcome. A great example of what a good pub should be! I can highly recommend and we will return.

Lovely chunky chips and tender chicken.Also has a good shelf of board games ranging from chess ♟ and draughts.Also recommend the steak and ale pie there it is Amazing!!!

We had a pleasant evening but the food was overpriced. Our ‘artisan bread’ starter was some supermarket part baked rolls and cost £7. We are happy to spend money but felt a bit ripped off by that. Kids meals were nice and the restaurant felt family friendly. Overall the experience was just a bit bizarre and we left having spent £92 for some very average food. You can see what type restaurant they are trying to become it sadly they are a little way off this yet.

We have not visited for some years and still as good as ever! Proper pie is still a proper pie, chilli with quite a kick, delicious... puds yummy, lemon roulade and scrummy chocolate sundae. Lovely staff, welcoming and efficient. I had read the other reviews about it being a bit pricey, I dont agree, I think it was good value and will most definitely be returning soon. Thank you Lighthouse Crew, great job.

We visited here as it was dog friendly and looked in a nice spot. We got a warm welcome, the food was great and we enjoyed our evening there -thanks.

A delightful pub with very helpful staff. The food was good, homely cooking and plentiful. We will go again.

Very disappointed having had 2 excellent Sunday lunches here. Service very slow and poor no one seemed to be organised. Food overpriced and poor quality. Had pie with Broccoli which was definitely off smelt and tasted awful. Food not hot. Dessert very small and still frozen in middle. Sadly won’t be eating here again in the evening.

We went early evening and has fish and chips and a steak pie and chips. The food was lovely great chunky chips. Staff were lovely and friendly - the beer garden is COVID and dog friendly.
