This pub is a joy to visit anytime of the year but does get busy in the summer as it is the only pub in the village. There used to be 3 at one time but they all closed down, only a lot of effort from the locals ensured that the Red Lion reopened and it has probably never been so popular. I found this pub by chance driving along the coast road some years ago and have been back many times since. It has that old world charm and has one of my favourite beers straight out of the barrel usually, Wherry as well as other local real ales on hand pump, (the way it should be) like Nelsons revenge. The food served here is all homemade and I have never had a bad meal, there is also a childrens menu so obviously famillies are welcome not like in the fake Irish bar O'Neills which are adults only, but they only tell you that after taking your money. In the main part of the pub there are not 1 but 3 real fires which are a real joy in the winter months. The pub has been extended and has additional space to the back, partly in their conservatory and partly in another extension. There is also seating outside. From the main bars there are lovely views across the stream and the fields beyond. They have this year added accomadation by way of a number of self catering chalets which all have the views you get from the pub. I have always had a warm welcome when visiting this pub and the locals are friendly as well. I can't rate this pub highly enough. Well worth stopping off if you are in the area or well worth a detour if you're not!!

This pub has not made the mistake of abandoning being a pub in favor of trying to be a restaurant. Starters of garlic bread and chicken wings and BBQ sauce were extremely tasty and a great start to the meal. The fish pie for main was fantastic. Think of all the fish pies you have had where you play hunt the fish - this was the opposite. Full of tasty salmon and haddock. The haddock and chips for the other main had light batter and was beautifully cooked. As far as pubs that serve food, this was was great value and served very nice food. Add in the view and this pub is well worth the visit. Try it.

The pub dates back to the 1500s itself, and has a very traditional interior, subdivided into several rooms. They serve very good pub grub at lunchtimes and evenings, as well as a good range of real ales and the usual wines and spirits. Theres a wide range of mains and traditional puddings (with custard - yay!), several options for vegetarians, and smaller meals for children. Staff are very obliging and friendly. Serving times can be a little eclectic, so ring ahead if you're relying on them for your evening meal. Recommended. Expect to see the odd priest and church party from the neighbouring Shrine.

It's by far the best pub in Thornham, which might not seem like it's saying much considering the size of the town, but they've squeezed at least three of them into the area. Try the deals on the Pimms cups during the summer - one jug, four straws and you're as good as gold. As a 16th century pub, the ceilings are low, doorways are even lower and there are strange farming tools all over the walls. But enter the dining area and things are considerably spruced up. The menu is much more diverse than the pub's and every meal I've had there has been unfailing. Kids can play out back in the play area - much to the annoyance of the caravan owners directly behind it - and there's outdoor seating for when the sun decides to put his hat on. Never stayed in the rooms, though I know people who have and they've been quite pleased with them.

However, putting my pickiness aside it was worth paying just because of the location as I wanted to escape the hustle and bustle of city life, and this place ticks those boxes. Pub restaurant serves good food, although the service was a tad slow, but the meal was worth the wait in the end, as it was delish.

It operates as a floating pub selling a range of Woodfordes real ales, ciders and wines below decks in the main cabin. A truly unusual place to drink but utterly lovely and a real gem in the area. You board the boat via a gangplank from the quay and climb down the rather steep steps to the bar area below - it pretty much unchanged since it was a sea-faring vessel with North sea charts stuck around the walls a a tiny bar area seling ales directly from the barrel. Access would be tricky for the very old or infirm but children are very welcome and there's a range of colouring books and games available. They sell a huge range of tasty Dutch pancakes at reasonable prices, all cooked on the ship's galley and service is very good. A unique treasure in this area of the country and not to be missed if you're in the vicinity.
