A PLACE WORTH KNOWING

A thatched village pub with a walled garden

A traditional Abbotsham inn for a leisurely meal and a pause in its enclosed garden.

Whitewashed walls and a deep thatched roof make this an inviting stop in Abbotsham. Inside are several dining rooms; outside, the enclosed garden gives a sunny-day lunch room to stretch. The kitchen combines familiar pub dishes with seasonal changes and specials. It is an easy place to work into a village visit or a day exploring the nearby coast.

The lovely little details

  • Historic village pub.
  • Dogs welcome in the bar only.
  • Walled garden and seasonal menus.
