On site bar and restaurants beautiful beer garden

Country pub, bar and restaurant with spacious beer garden
A 10-minute drive from Beccles and the start of the Broads
Two miles from the River Waveney and 30 minutes' drive from the coast

Pitching up by a pub – always a clever move. Be very sensible indeed with a Suffolk stay at the Wheatacre White Lion, where a swish bar, full menu and scenic setting are all for the taking. Pub first? The White Lion is a country pub, bar and restaurant acclaimed for its food, all prepared fresh by its experienced chefs. There’s an excellent selection of wines and ales to pick from too, to have in the pub, alongside dinner in the spacious dining room, or over an idle hour or two in the handsome beer garden. The team prides itself on providing a welcoming and friendly atmosphere to all guests, whether you’re there for a quick drink, a family meal or a couples’ dinner. And… you’ll need somewhere to totter back to after all that. The campsite part of the White Lion has free wifi, chemical disposal and charging facilities, and welcomes families and motorbikers as well as groups. Barbecues are allowed. And the setting? The White Lion is in green countryside a couple of miles from the River Waveney, 10 minutes’ drive from the teeny town of Beccles. It’s well placed for adventuring all around Suffolk and into Norfolk: the Broads are just to the north, the seaside at Lowestoft is half an hour’s drive away, and Norwich is within 45 minutes.

Liked: Nice clean field with all necessary facilities.
The White Lion was warm with a lovely atmosphere and had a super range of food - all were fabulous. A great selection of beers were well kept and served to a great standard. The best part was the staff - so friendly and welcoming, and were very good to our dog.
We will be back.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Park anywhere, looks posh but it's a hit with local farmers and they offsprings so feel at home there
Alcohol fairly priced , most under a £5 still

Dog and disabled friendly
Lots of outdoor seating and some was undercover

Disliked: Can fill your onboard water tank up but hose pipe short on pipe 😂
My default for not carrying one in the Moho, easy access into site and road noise

Local attractions

To the coast? It’s half an hour’s drive from the pub to Lowestoft, Britain’s most easterly town and home to a lengthy beach, a lengthy pier and beach huts that you will want to possess right this instant thank you very much. At Southwold (half an hour along the coast from Lowestoft, or reach it straight from the site in the same distance), there’s another pier and sandy beach, a nine-hole golf course and more colourful beach huts, as well as tours and tastings at Adnams Brewery – gin included. Or stay inland to access the Broads National Park and the River Waveney waterways from local town Beccles, such as the coastal lagoon of Oulton Broad: have an afternoon here to spy otters and wading birds around RSPB Minsmere, have a guided tour or take one of the nature trails. The reserve also runs regular family days and events at its Wild Zone and Wild Wood Adventure area. (If that’s whetted the kids’ appetites for Suffolk theme parks, Pleasurewood is 10 minutes’ drive outside Lowestoft, or 25 minutes from the site.) Norwich is the most convenient starting point if you’re day tripping by public transport: Great Yarmouth is 45 minutes away by train, Ipswich just under an hour and a half, and London just under two hours.
