    The best mussels ever and we have eaten them all over the world! The sticky toffee pudding was a complete indulgence but who can resist a home made pud? Highly recommend this pub

    This is a great pub. We visited twice during a week’s holiday in Norfolk . Once for a drink and once for a meal. The same staff were on duty both times and were so friendly. The barman made the best Virgin Mary I have ever had as I was driving - tasted like the real thing . If we lived in Stiffkey, we would be regulars. I hope the locals realise how lucky they are.

    An excellent meal, all six of us were pleased with our choices of fish, pork belly and Caesar salad. We had a comfortable table in the old bar and enjoyed very pleasant service. Glad to be able to call it one of our ‘local’ pub haunts.
