The Marine in Great Yarmouth

Ah, The Marine – it's one of those classic pubs that really warms you up when you step inside, especially if you're after a spot with a bit of sea breeze and a welcoming smile. From what I've gathered chatting about it, the staff are the real stars here; they're so helpful and attentive, like when they sorted out baby changing or decked out the place for a birthday bash – it just makes you feel looked after, you know? The food can be a hit for parties, with lovely spreads that everyone raves about, and that prime spot on the promenade means you can soak in those gorgeous beach views while sipping a drink. It's got that easy-going charm that's ideal for a casual evening out. On the flip side, though, there've been a couple of grumbles about the grub not always hitting the mark – think wrong orders or meals that don't quite taste fresh – so it might not be the go-to for a fancy dinner. All in all, I'd say it's a solid choice for good times and laughs, as long as you're not pinning all your hopes on the menu. Give it a try if you're in the area; it's got that homely feel that makes pub visits worthwhile.
