SOMETHING FOR ALL YOU ART AND FOODIE LOVERS, by Ruggs on Feb 22, 2015 19:14:17 GMT 1, Thought i'd share this with the forum. I've been away with some close friends enjoying a relaxing break at one of the best pubs i've ever been to. The pub in question is called the Gunton Arms, a traditional pub with 8 bedrooms in an extensive historic park situated close to the North Norfolk coast. Its owned by art dealer Ivor Braka. A major restoration started in 2009. Robert Kime helped design the bedrooms and interior, Martin Brudnizki the bar and restaurant. The entire pub is adorned by a host of Mr Braka's own art collection. If art, food and relaxation is your thing i'd thoroughly recommend it. Thought you might like to see just a few of the works on show. www.theguntonarms.co.uk/

Where are the Deer?, you eaten em?. They were there but in the far distance. Next morning I was walking within feet of them. Didn't have any venison during my stay, just delicious beef steak cooked on the Elk Room fire instead. |

Highly recommended if you're out and about in Sunny Norfolk.
Araki in the toilets was a nice touch!

Whos gunt ig? I keep looking at this and thinking thats just wrong, why go to the extent of accessorising the dress with pink bag and making no effort with footwear and socks?
