In the heart of the quiet town Thurne, in Great Yarmouth, lies The Lion at Thurne, a quaint old British style of pub. Whether you're seeking a peaceful place to rest with a cask ale in hand or a memorable gathering with loved ones over some hearty food, The Lion at Thurne provides a charming setting to enjoy the English countryside.
Inside The Lion at Thurne is a cosy fireplace for customers to warm up next to on a cold British evening, along with a spacious green beer garden with plenty of picnic tables to enjoy your meal al fresco. Over the busy summer months there is always plenty of live music on offer, from four piece fiddle groups to acoustic cover bands. In the colder months of the year, you'll find a weekly quiz night, and themed seasonal events such as Oktoberfest and supper with Santa. Start your meal off with homemade southern fried chicken strips with Louisiana BBQ sauce or a baked camembert sharer, before a sausage and mozzarella sandwich paired with onion chutney and a mixed leaf salad for mains. If you fancy something a bit more substantial, you may go for the handmade pie of the day with creamy mash, seasonal vegetables and gravy, and finish off with a classic, homemade British dessert.
The range of cask ales continually changes at The Lion at Thurne, and is usually sourced from local breweries, the restaurant's own Pell & Co Beers, and guest UK varieties. There’s a good assortment of ciders, too, and if you are unsure on what to try, why not have a flight and try three flavours at once. The Lion at Thurne is open daily between 12 and 10pm, but stays open later if it's busy with patrons. Food can be ordered between 12 and 3pm, and 5 and 8.30pm Monday through to Saturday, and between the hours of 12 and 8pm on Sundays.
