About This Pub
Ah, the Kevill Arms – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem in Gorleston-on-Sea. From the reviews, most folks are absolutely chuffed with the place; the bar staff are dead helpful and keep things cheerful, even on a busy night, which makes for a right enjoyable time. Whether you're popping in for a pint of cheap beer, catching the footy with a crowd, or even something more subdued like a wake, they've got it covered with a smashing buffet and a freshly done-up interior that adds a nice touch. It's got that lively buzz with karaoke and dancing sessions that could make for a brilliant Saturday night out. But, to be fair, there was this one off-putting moment where someone was turned down for a glass of tap water – that's a bit of a shame and not on, really, as it might make you think twice about going back. Overall, with a solid 4.3 rating, it's mostly positives, and I'd say it's worth giving it a go if you're in the area, just keep an eye out for the little things that could be improved.

We were here for a wake, but the service at the bar was good, and the buffet was excellent, pleasant surroundings looking as though it has recently been refurbished.
Great pub, good prices nice atmosphere
What a brilliant night we have Saturday dancing and drinking at this lovely pub
Bar staff were excellent, kept a smile on their faces and we didn’t have to wait long, considering how busy they were
Thanks
Unbelievably we were refused a glass of tap water with our round of four beers. Contrary to the Licensing Act 2003 we were told that we would have to buy bottled water. This was our first visit to this pub and will likely be our last.
Absolutely brilliant pub! Went in as was visiting the area as have family that live nearby. Very welcoming and went to watch the Euros (2024). Friendly bunch of people, lovely landlady Jill and cheap beer! Whats not to like! Football finished and out came the karaoke, really great atmosphere.
