The best pubs and bars in Norfolk and Suffolk, from traditional pubs to cosy village inns, chosen by our expert Sophie Butler.
Cosy East Anglian pubs are wonderfully atmospheric places to spend the evening. Try local beers such as Woodforde’s Wherry bitter or real ales from the Southwold-based brewery, Adnams. Increasingly, these old inns are making an impact on the gastronomic map of the region, serving excellent food in welcoming surroundings – as well as offering a high standard of accommodation.
