Welcome to Norfolk, or not

Michelle and I had a day out in North Norfolk today, enjoying sun, sand and sea. At about 2.35 we found a lovely pub - the Nelson Head near Horsey Windpump - but lunch 'finished' at 2.30. However the owner took pity on us and served delicious prawn baguettes and salads and couldn't have been more welcoming. Later in the afternoon - at 5.05 - we stopped at The Bridge Inn at Acle for afternoon tea. Despite signs saying 'food served all day' we were ordered to leave the bar area and order from a different bar. The same miserable woman followed us through and then told us we were too late as they didn't 'mess about with scones and stuff after 5.00', despite there only being three other customers there. We were gasping for cups of tea but she wouldn' t serve those either as we didn't have a table number and so her staff wouldn't be able to find us in the empty spaces. We left immediately and noticed on our way out that none of the tables had numbers - but we have their's. Do not go there if you wish to be welcomed to Norfolk.
