Lunchtime after a brisk walk round Blickling Park prior to our return to Kent.Busy with diners and a group of drinkers in the boxlike snug.I like this pub.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Redwell - Bullards No. 3 Amber Ale | 4.70 | | A blast from the past for me.When I first came to Norwich in the 70's a lot of the pubs were still branded as Bullards, though the brewery was long closed.A good dryish bittersweet malty amber ale. |
| Woodforde's - Norfolk Nog | 4.60 | Not Tried | |

Blast! Mr Croxford beat me to this pub, though I did come here in 1975.A large group of us enjoyed a substantial meal and wondered whether ducks can perch on trees.Very busy with diners on a bleak March Thursday lunchtime.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adnams - Oyster Stout | 4.30 | | A good dark 'un , with that seaweedy tang that I don't often find in Adnams beers anymore. |
| Adnams - Southwold Bitter | 3.70 | | I forget how much I like this:an old fashioned bitter with an East Coast tang. |
| Woodforde's - Wherry | 3.80 | | Old school:earthy biscuits. |

The pub is found in Blickling, Norfolk, NR11 6NF.
A delightful 17th century coaching inn near to the Blickling House estate and surrounded by beautiful Norfolk countryside. The interior is genuine 'olde worlde' and there is a very good restaurant. Taken over by Colchester Inns in June 2013.
