Your Local Country Pub with Rooms in Burnham Market
Established in 1685 as The Mermaid, our pub was renamed The Admiral Nelson in 1805 following the Battle of Trafalgar. After a brief period as The Jockey from 2005-2011, we restored our historic name and underwent extensive renovations to become a modern country pub with rooms. Our seven individually decorated bedrooms combine traditional character with contemporary comforts, while our restaurant showcases locally sourced ingredients from Norfolk's finest suppliers.We pride ourselves on serving seasonal British cuisine, from light bites to hearty meals, complemented by regional beers and international wines. Our beer garden provides an ideal setting for summer evenings, and our dog-friendly policy ensures all guests feel welcome. With a rich history and commitment to quality, we offer a unique blend of heritage and modern hospitality in Burnham Market.

Beautiful pub, lovely breakfast, excellent service and cannot speak highly enough of the 2 ladies working behind the bar that took the time and effort to make friends with my big, very loud, dog! Eating out with Winston is hard work, and they put is both at ease - it was extremely appreciated ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
