A historic market town on the edge of The Wash, boasts a surprisingly vibrant craft beer and real ale scene rooted in tradition yet animated by modern creativity. At its core, The Nip and Growler Craft Ale House stands out - a cosy, award-winning venue on High Street serving 13 rotating taps of cask ales and local ciders in flexible measures. With board games, recycled interiors, and tastings to guide your choice, it offers a friendly, flavour-first atmosphere cherished by locals and travellers alike.
For lovers of classic real ale, Live and Let Live ticks every box. This back-street gem, with its two bars, including a snug lounge, serves five well-chosen hand-pulled ales (including milds), cider, occasional live music, and a welcoming landlady who’s always ready with a sample. Praised by CAMRA and guests, it’s been named West Norfolk’s cider pub of the year multiple times.
Nearby, The Fenman, just by the station, is well known for its warm, friendly vibe and solid cask ale selection. Visitors often think of it as the town’s best pub for beer quality and hospitality. Meanwhile, The London Porterhouse offers a focus on darker ales and stouts, with a stylish interior and regular events like quiz nights and live music that attract a lively evening crowd.
Just outside King’s Lynn in the village of Setchey, you'll find Beers of Europe, England’s largest specialist beer shop, stocking thousands of world and craft beers, and its attached Warehouse Taproom & Restaurant, which offers an impressive selection on draught and a welcoming garden space. Together, they provide a modern, international counterpoint to the town’s cask-focused pubs.
