The White Horse

Norfolk, Brancaster Staithe - Modern British - Pub - ££

Overall Rating: Good

Uniqueness:Does the establishment stand out in the context of the local area? Very Good

Deliciousness:How delicious is the food? Good

Warmth:How warm is the service and the hospitality in general? Good

Strength of recommendation:How enthusiastically and widely would you recommend the establishment? Good

With its exquisite views over marshland on the north Norfolk coast, the White Horse is quite a grand place for what is essentially a country pub. Visitors will find a positive cornucopia of dining options, with a sun terrace, courtyard garden and the Marshside restaurant, with its dioramic views of the sea. There are parasols to temper the sun glare, and if it's cold out on the terrace, help yourself to a poncho. As is only fitting, fish and seafood specialities are the leading cards on the menu: start with a clutch of oysters, Vietnamesed or à la Tabasco, before contemplating crispy squid with wild garlic aïoli, or the salmon and prawns that are smoked in-house. Cromer crab, immaculately dressed, is one of the obviously covetable mains, but best is probably a locked and loaded seafood platter, crowded with maritime bounty, served with sourdough and lemon mayo. Meat-lovers should raise their sights beyond steak and chips to something like ground wagyu beef crammed into...

Meat-lovers should raise their sights beyond steak and chips to something like ground wagyu beef crammed into a tortilla. Populist desserts ply a cheesecake and chocolate délice line, or try banoffee choux with mascarpone in rum and caramel sauce. Wines are an enterprising international grab-bag, with plenty available by the glass from £5.40 for appetising French blends.
