On the way to Narwich, probably for the last time as a pitstop on this run. Under new ownership-the builders were in, fitting out some letting bedrooms.We arrived on the dot of twelve, with the pensioners. Good.

Wolf - The Hops4.20ExcellentVery pale,grassy hops,stone fruit. Couldn't find anything about this beer-seems to be a house beer ,promoting an eponymous development in the village,raising funds for local causes.

Website.

The pub is found in Hingham, Norfolk, NR9 4AF.

Former coaching inn in Market Place, that had become rather run down. Rescued and restored by the Flying Kiwi chain. Website describes it as a restaurant and, as you would expect for a pub owned by a celebrity chef, food dominates in the three dining rooms on two floors. That said you can still go in for a drink.

We have visited this pub 6 times, seen 7 different beers and tried 4 of them.
