The Bell Inn in Great Yarmouth

Ah, The Bell Inn – what a gem of a spot down in St Olaves! From what I've gathered chatting about it with others, it's got this wonderful old-school charm as one of Broadland's oldest inns, and the reviews really sing its praises. The food stands out as a real highlight; people are buzzing about the fresh fish and chips or the catch of the day, all made with local ingredients that pack a punch of flavour. Pair that with a sunny spot in the beer garden overlooking the river, and you've got yourself a perfect afternoon. The team there are proper friendly, always up for a chat and making sure everything runs smoothly, which adds to that cosy, down-to-earth feel – it's great for a quick drink with the family or even a walk with the dog. On the flip side, it's not the cheapest place around, so you might think twice if you're watching the pennies, and if the weather turns, it can get a bit breezy by the water, which might put a damper on things. Overall, though, it's a solid choice for anyone looking for a genuine, hearty pub experience – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area, as the good bits far outweigh the minor niggles!
