The best restaurants serving British food in Priory North Norfolk East of England

We were told we arrived too late for food and as we weren’t eating we couldn’t have a drink. We sat for a rest and when we asked if we could just get a coffee and cake we were told that if we didn’t like the policy then we knew were the door was!!!! I kid you not. This really happened

Visiting North Norfolk in February means wrap up warm ... we were there for the Fri & Sat 14th 15th Feb and having visited The Red Lion previously chose to return on the Saturday. We didn't book ... we should have ! Didn't expect it to be busy in the Winter months but all tables around the enticing open fire were taken ! The staff however were incredibly helpful and friendly and suggested if we had a drink in the "back room" they would come & get us when a table came free out the front. True to their word 20 minutes later we had a lovely table at the front section of the pub, the drinks were great and we chose one of the "specials" which was steak pie and it was ... special ! Best way to describe it is Beef Wellington style pastry rammed with tender steak chunks on mashed potato with gravy & greens. Absolutely amazing ... just what was needed on cold night !!! Thanks to all at The Red Lion, have visited before and will certainly visit again ... next time we'll make sure we book !!!
