The Kingfisher Fish & Chips
The Kingfisher Fish and Chips in Walcott, in my family's opinion, is the best fish and chips in the area. They are offering phone orders, click and collect, and good old-fashioned queuing. It’s the perfect place to take a bottle of wine and enjoy your meal on the beach!

A traditional country pub, it is child and dog-friendly. With a warm welcome and a large open fire, it is a perfect place to head to after a walk on the beach to see the seals. It offers real ale and fresh local food cooked to order.

Salhouse Lodge is located on the edge of the village of Salhouse and is not far from Wroxham. It’s a family-run pub and restaurant in an old rectory with a large garden and patio area. Beautifully decorated and has a large varied menu.
The Rising Sun
The Rising Sun, Coltishall, is located on the River Bure beside a beautiful large grass common where you can take a chair and watch the world go by. It is open for eating in, but I enjoy ordering takeaway fish and chips or homemade pizza from there and sitting on the common while people and boats watch. There is nearly always an ice cream van on the common, perfect for dessert!
The King’s Arms
The Kings Arms, Fleggburgh, didn’t disappoint. It serves beautiful and delicious food, friendly, attentive staff, and a good selection of Gin at the bar. It’s very much a restaurant, not a pub, and it's a 20-minute drive from us at the Barns. They serve lunch and dinner seven days a week.
