Inspector comments
"Strong seafood showing at this charming, white-painted inn."
Overview
Down a quiet lane behind the church, The Lifeboat Inn has been providing hospitality for more than 500 years. The terrace is a tranquil spot for a drink in summer, while the coastal location means plenty of local seafood. The dining room has smart flooring, stripped wood tables and chairs, and a relaxed modern atmosphere.

About the area
The North Norfolk Coast is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and probably the finest of its kind in Europe. Here you’ll find a string of quaint villages and small towns – Holkham, Wells-next-the-Sea and Cley next the Sea are 21st-century favourites, while Sheringham and Cromer are classic examples of a good old-fashioned seaside resort where grand Victorian hotels look out to sea
