- Ask staff about seasonal specials and game dishes, which showcase local Norfolk ingredients and often represent exceptional value compared to the standard menu.
- Take advantage of the extended Friday and Saturday hours (open until 1:00 AM) for late-night dining or drinks if you're exploring the Great Yarmouth area.
