The Haven Inn: A Seaside Favourite

The Haven Inn is a popular choice with both locals and tourists. Situated right on the seafront, it offers stunning views to enjoy while you tuck into your roast. Their menu typically includes a choice of meats – usually beef, pork, and chicken – all served with generous portions of roast potatoes, vegetables, and Yorkshire puddings. It’s a great option for families and those looking for a relaxed atmosphere. Be sure to book in advance, especially during peak season, as it can get busy!

The Troll Cart: Wetherspoon Value

Their Sunday roast offers good value for money, and you can expect a classic no-frills meal. They often have special deals on drinks too, making it an affordable option for the whole family. It's a short walk from the St George Hotel, making it easily accessible after a day of exploring.

The Kings Arms: A Traditional Pub Experience

Venture a little further afield, and you'll find The Kings Arms in the village of Ormesby St Margaret. This traditional pub offers a more refined Sunday roast experience.
