The Good Pub Guide has just announced its Pub of the Year for Norfolk in 2020.

Naming The Rose and Crown at Snettisham, the leading guide said: "All aspects remain first class, from the well-trained, friendly staff, to the fine range of drinks and excellent food and on to the stylish bedrooms....There are stools against the bar where locals enjoy Adnams Broadside and Southwold, Greene King Old Speckled Hen and Woodfordes Wherry on handpump; also, a dozen wines by the glass, around 20 gins (including local ones) seasonal cocktails and jugs of sangria, local cider and fresh fruit juices."
