The pub is found in Burnham Thorpe, Norfolk, PE31 8HN.

Lovely old pub in Walsingham Road. with Nelson connections. Extended in recent years but the original central room is a gem. As usual for North Norfolk food is the focus and the pub will be full of diners, but "off-peak" it is an atmospheric place to enjoy a beer. Bought in 2019 by Holkham Estate from Greene King with avowed plans to re-open as a pub. Finally re-opened in 2021 after 5 years of closure and operated by Woodforde's Brewery. Totally remodelled before reopening in July 2021. The original room with the settles survives, though beer is now served from the adjoining bar. Beyond the "old" room is a large glass and stainless steel extension. Large dining room and large garden too.

We have visited this pub once, seen 1 beer and tried it.
