The Lion Inn

The Lion at Thurne is a lively Norfolk Broads favourite tucked right in the heart of the village of Thurne. Think big, welcoming pub rooms, roaring log fires in winter, a generous garden for summer pints and proper pub grub that ranges from juicy burgers and wood-fired pizzas to classic British mains. With one of the biggest selections of beers and ciders on the Broads, lively quiz nights, seasonal events and plenty of outdoor seating, it’s the sort of place you stay longer than you planned and still leave with a smile.

Day visitors, boaters and locals all congregate here for good food, good drinks and an easygoing atmosphere that feels like an earned rest after rambling, broads wanderings or mooring up nearby.
