Pub in north Norfolk reopens under award-winning owners
A pub in north Norfolk has reopened with award-winning owners now at the helm. The Ship in Brancaster has opened its doors again under the rule of Siobhan and Caitriona Peyton. The sisters also own Sculthorpe Mill which is best known for holding a prestigious Michelin Bib Gourmand and has been named among the best places to stay in the UK. The Ship in Brancaster has reopened with new owners (Image: Pattie Tobin Photo/The Ship Brancaster) The Ship has nine en-suite bedrooms upstairs, which will undergo refurbishment, and includes four dining areas, a pub bar, a garden and an outdoor kitchen. 'We want The Ship to feel like a proper village pub, somewhere you can have oysters and a bottle of wine in the garden or just pop in for a pint after a dog walk,' Siobhan said.

'The cooking is serious but unpretentious and the setting is as Norfolk as it gets,' Siobhan added. 'Big skies, fresh air and a great local pint.'

The best beer garden in London in 2025, according to Time Out
If there's anything Londoners love more than pubs, it's beer gardens. Now that the sun has started rearing its lovely golden head, it's time for us to deliver the very best pub terraces and beer gardens that this fine city has to offer. Step forwards, Time Out's definitive list of the very best beer gardens in London, 2025. We've ranked our favourite 21 al fresco drinking spots across the capital, from Lewisham to Highbury, and top of the list this year is Finsbury Park's majestic, occasionally confusing Faltering Fullback. One of the weirdest, but most enjoyable beer gardens in London, this beer garden contains multitudes. A kind of treehouse/Ewok village hybrid, what the Faltering Fullback's beer garden lacks in width it makes up for in height. There are stairs. There are nooks. There are even crannies. And on a hot summer's day, it's pretty much the best place to be in London. Other notable entries include the beer garden at Brixton's Duke of Edinburgh, notable for being extremely vast and Newington Green's Army and Navy, notable for being extremely busy when Arsenal are playing. We've also featured some all time beer garden classics; Highgate's The Flask, Wandsworth's The Ship, Camden's Edinboro Castle and Twickenham's ever-charning White Swan, which is basically on the banks of the Thames.

Country pub of the week: The Royal Standard of England, Beaconsfield
Who has the rightful claim to being Britain's oldest pub is a contended title. One is the Royal Standard of England, which dates back to either 1100 or 1213, depending on who you ask. It was The Ship until 1663, when Charles II let it change its name, as thanks for supporting his murdered father, or because the pub let Charlie boy stay there with his mistress — again, depends on who you ask. But there is more here than history: the pub is a timber-framed beauty, walls lined with animal heads, serving port from a barrel and whitebait out of pewter tankards. Its fame has put it in movies (Hot Fuzz, The Theory of Everything) and draws slebs (Ozzy Osbourne, Ricky Gervais). Oh, and ghosts — listen out for the drummer boy marching in the car park. Forty Green, Beaconsfield, Bucks,
