The Hill House

The Hill House (also known as The Hill House Inn) is a traditional English country pub, dining room and brewery located in the pretty seaside village of Happisburgh on the East Norfolk coast of the United Kingdom. According to its official website, the pub dates back to 1550 and retains period features, together with a large beer garden situated just a short walk from sandy beaches. It operates as a multi-part hospitality business: a pub and dining room, an adjoining coffee shop and carvery, and a bed & breakfast guest accommodation. The pub kitchen serves a menu of seasonal ingredients and locally sourced meats, with local fishermen supplying fresh fish, crabs and occasionally lobster. The bar offers quality beers and ales on tap, some of which are brewed on-site by its Dancing Men Brewery. Adjoining the inn is the Happisburgh Halt Coffee Shop & Carvery, described as a modern, clean cafe with a breakfast menu and a popular Sunday carvery. The Happisburgh Halt Bed & Breakfast provides dog- and disabled-friendly guest accommodation. The Hill House positions itself as a destination for coastal visitors, promoting walks along grassy country footpaths leading to the historic Happisburgh Lighthouse and the Grade 1 listed St Mary's Church, as well as year-round dog-friendly beaches. It is a private, independent hospitality business rather than part of a large chain, and it uses its Facebook page to share the most up-to-date information with customers.
