Weybourne

About the restaurant

Welcome to The Ship Inn. We are a pub in the heart of Weybourne.

We have a menu using the best of local produce, including seafood landed on the beach at Weybourne!

We have a great bar area, with a roaring log burner in winter, two dining areas and a lounge.

We are dog friendly but we ask that Fido is kept on leads at all times. Dogs are permitted in the bar, bar dining area and garden, but not in the lounge and main dining room.

A great place for a drink and mardle with locals at the bar, a stop over on your walk or an evening meal. We have something for everyone at the Ship.

About the restaurant

A warm welcome from our team will greet you at The King's Head. Once inside, you can expect a cracking pint, a glass of lovely wine or a G&T at the bar, along with some delicious classic British dishes from the kitchen.

The pub is much bigger than it seems. To the pub's rear is a charming dining room, lovely outside seating, and a grassed beer garden.

The Cellar House is very convenient to us, ambiance is always good. Staff friendly. We had a girls gathering there this week, unfortunately after perusing the menu for a considerable time we came to the conclusion there was nothing on the menu we wanted for lunch ...the menu seems geared for evening/ dinner. A number of small plates choices suggesting you would be requiring at least 3, and the Light bites ( toasted sandwiches) Overall everything was highly priced.. £13 for a toastie? Such a shame there is nothing appealing they can offer at a lunch time price of say £10.95.
