Alastair Sawday selects his pick of great bars near to equally gorgeous campsites, so you can stagger straight from tavern to tent
You've arrived. Tents are up, chairs positioned to make the most of the view,
children have hooked up with another family and it's time to start cooking. But
there's just one burner and the gas bottle's almost empty. Time to head for the
pub. But you don't want to drive — not back, anyway — so here are some great
pubs and campsites, within staggering distance of each other, naturally.
8. The White Horse, Brancaster Staithe, Norfolk
Enter the dapper white pub, pass the lively front bar and head for the
conservatory restaurant with its astonishing views. Local oysters, crabs,
mussels and fish and grilled red mullet with warm potato and cucumber salad are
matched by exemplary steaks, lamb and pork, and great bar meals. The roof is
grassed over so that the fine-weather sun deck and dining room have a clean view
all the way to Scolt Head Island. Huge sunsets, fine food and a welcome for
children and dogs. +44 (0)1485 21026,

Where to camp: Deepdale Farm Camping, Burnham Deepdale - cafe, stables,
salt marshes across the road and, best of all, tepees to rent (minimum two
nights). +44 (0)1485 210256,
deepdalefarm.co.uk Price: £6-£8 adults, £3-£4 kids.
