Food & Beverage

Where to eat? You’re spoilt for choice.

The spacious Beach Bar and our wine bar, In Vino Veritas, are popular with local people, business customers and holiday visitors looking for a hearty bar meal prepared by our team of six skilled chefs. There’s something for everyone on the Temporary Menu – from sandwiches and snacks to classic meat and fish dishes.

When the weather is fine, take a seat outside and enjoy your meal overlooking the sea and Gorleston’s fabulous beach.

The view is great too from the Pier Hotel’s light and airy dining room, which offers its own choice of freshly-prepared dishes created where ever possible from local-sourced ingredients. Its tables are dressed with crisply-laundered cloths, gleaming cutlery and polished glassware, creating an elegant yet relaxed setting for a family occasion, a business lunch or an impromptu treat.

Whether you eat in the restaurant, the bars or alfresco, the service is fast and friendly, and you’ll find something on our drinks menu that goes perfectly with your meal. From well-kept real ales and ice-cold lagers to gins and wines that are just your cup of tea.

If you’d just like to pop in for a tea or coffee, we would love to see you.

We are running a temporary menu throughout the restaurant and bar due to Covid 19.

Had a short stay with my dad and younger sis. Very comfortable and cozy room. The host Jeka is nice and prepared snacks for us in advance. The location is good and we particularly like the view of the room. Strongly recommend:)

This place was wonderful. Very walkable to the subway and very close to the Bund. Host is easily reachable and the space was very clean. My only complaint is that during the day the construction nearby gets a bit loud.

Jeka was an amazing host throughout our time in Shanghai. She responded so quickly to all our questions and really made the space feel like home. The flat was very central and very walkable to restaurants and public transport. Thanks to Jeka, the apartment was very easy to find.
