Slabs of red deer rump and sirloin cooked over an open fire in the flag-floored Elk Room is the main event at this gastropub on a thousand-acre Norfolk deer park. The menu leans hard on whatever the estate and the nearby Cromer boats bring in, with offal and nose-to-tail cuts sitting alongside the headline steaks. The Michelin Guide has given it a Bib Gourmand, and the place earns it without trying to impress anyone.
