The pub is found in Brooke, Norfolk, NR15 1JW.

Unusually for a Norfolk village Brooke still has two pubs. The Kings Head on the main road is a fairly typical gastro-pub but the White Lion in The Street is a good old fashioned no frills proper pub. One long thin room on two levels, with a pool table at the far end. The building is thatched and pantiled. The pub garden is at the front opposite the mere. Six beers on gravity.

We have visited this pub once, seen 6 different beers and tried 2 of them.
