Shepherd and Crook
The Shepherd and Crook is one of the oldest hostelries in one of the Marsh's oldest villages, Burmarsh, which has for centuries been involved with sherpherding, wool and, of course, smuggling.
This 15th century Grade II listed building is made of the same stone as the nearby Norman All Saints Church and is as historic inside as out, with many antiques on display. These include a pair of Queen Victoria's stockings, complete with embroidered crest and signature of authenticity.
The Shepherd and Crook has a dog friendly bar and a separate restaurant, which can also be used for private dining occasions. The charming village public house hosts freindly locals, has a lovely log fire to welcome you in the cold winter months and then for the summer there is a sheltered beer garden for you to enjoy a cold drink on a hot summers day. Amongst the beers, they serve well kept, usually local, real ales and a cask cider.
The Shepherd and Crook is full of antiquities, including a blow lamp collection. It also has a traditional ‘ring the bull’ game, which is reputed to be one of the oldest pub games going, so make sure you try when you visit.
