The Mariner

Adjacent to Le Strange Arms, a historic seaside hotel under the Chestnut umbrella, is The Mariner. The traditional Old Hunstanton inn overlooks the spectacular Norfolk coastline and has bundles of character, including low beams and snug seating. Dating back to the 1600s, when it was originally the barns and stable block for the house next door (now Le Strange), these days, it's a welcoming village pub with a restaurant and bar, plus an outside eating area leading to sand dunes and the water beyond. Open daily from 10am when they start serving tea, coffee and bacon baps, as the day wears on, the menu extends, featuring classics like lasagne, chilli and beef and ale pie, as well as dishes from the grill such as steak, gammon and plant-based burgers. From the sea? Choose from plates like cod mornay, garlic king prawns and fish pie. The bar offering has light bites, including loaded fries, nachos and sarnies.
