The Red Lion

The Stiffkey Red Lion, located on the North Norfolk Coast, has all the appeal of an old English inn and now with the comfort of a modern hotel. It's uncluttered charm appeals to walkers, birdwatchers and those seeking refuge from the rigours of the nearby saltmarsh. A warm welcome awaits you as well as excellent local beers, including Nelson's Revenge from Woodforde stable and excellent food from local sources, at prices to please.

 

There is no piped music, old pews abound and the fire in the bar makes a welcoming centrepiece when the wind is straight off the sea.

 

Look out for local Mussels, when in season, Blakeney whitebait, Norfolk game pie, soft herring roes on toast and the superb Cromer crab salads that are such a feature of the area. You can eat in or out, and on hot days the cool from the stream offers welcome freshness. A short but enterprising wine list is well supplied with wine by the glass. On first impressions, The Red Lion at Stiffkey is a traditional Norfolk Pub in almost every sense of the word, from the rustic wooden pews and four log fires to the original stone floor and selection of local brews on offer.
