) While eucalypts and elms stand quietly in the sun-streaked beer garden, the old
limestone Norfolk harbours a secret upstairs: its rooms. Far above your standard pub digs,
they've all been tastefully decorated in muted tones and crisp white linen, and there's a
communal sitting room. It can be noisy on weekends, but the bar closes at midnight.
