We had seafood linguine (£10.95) and

Web www.kingsheadnorfolk.co.uk Last orders for dinner at this great

gastropub are 9pm Monday-saturday and 8pm on Sundays. We ate here twice

– the classics menu is a bit cheaper. n The Crawfish Inn

The nearest pub to Old Brick Kilns

doubles as a Thai restaurant and was

probably our best-value meal, and most enjoyable – the service was fast and

efficient, and the food was delicious.

Where we stayed

n Old Brick Kilns Old Brick Kilns (pictured lower right) is almost three sites in one – a CS with its own shower block, an adultsonly section and the rest of the park.

The site, owned by Kate Dyas and David

Moore for four years, is a regular finalist in

our Top 100 Sites Guide and this year scooped

the Regional Winner award for Eastern England. This is a pretty site set around

a fishing lake. All of the pitches are hardstanding. Half of the

plots are super-pitches,

with water and TV aerial. Amenities

provided at the site include a restaurant

and bar, and it can also accommodate

those without touring

vehicles in its B&B.

restaurant and bar, take-away, health club

with swimming pool, launderette and

village store. Other outdoor leisure facilities include tennis courts, table tennis and pétanque,

along with adventure playgrounds for the

the disused railway line). Owners Andy and Denise Butt, who live on-site, reckon that 30-40% of their guests are regulars. Amenities at the site include a heated washblock with facilities for the disabled,

gas exchange and a library.

Sites finalist and earned four pennants from the AA in 2017.
