Our own 'Moon Under Water'
Dating back to 1668, The Gin Trap Inn has been welcoming farmers, fishermen, merchants, and smugglers for centuries. Set in the heart of Ringstead, a pretty North Norfolk village just a few miles from the coast, we're a pub full of warmth and character, proud of our long history. The menu is rooted in the region, celebrating Norfolk’s land and sea while adding a touch of creativity to every plate. With 12 guest bedrooms including three cottages, we offer a relaxed and memorable stay, a taste of coastal village life.
“My favourite public-house (is) the Moon Under Water. Its clientele…. consists mostly of ‘regulars’ who occupy the same chair every evening and go there for conversation as much as for the beer. If you are asked why you favour a particular public-house, it would seem natural to put the beer first, but the thing that most appeals to me about the Moon Under Water is what people call its ‘atmosphere’.”
George Orwell, Evening Standard, 9 February 1946
