14:00 Busy outside and a few in. Outside drinkers had to have plastic glasses, including wine drinkers which I thought was a bit naff for a hotel. Two handpumps, but only one in use.

The pub is found in Hunstanton, Norfolk, PE36 6BQ.

Large carrstone hotel in the centre of Hunstanton in The Green. This was the first building in the new town around which the rest of the resort grew. There is a separate entrance to the bar which has the name Lion Inn over the door. The bar itself is very mediocre, but there is a more interesting rear room which is fully panelled and with three sets of plaster signs of the Zodiac on the ceiling. There is a lion's head as a sign on the front wall but it is painted silver!

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