Wash and Tope refurbished with waves
of history

Hunstanton’s Deputy Mayor Cllr James Johnson opened the newly
refurbished Wash and Tope on Thursday (10th December).
Now part of the Lifeboat Pub Company that specialises in waterside
locations, the Wash and Tope has been decorated in a nautical theme with
the story of King John’s treasure and images of Hunstanton’s past
including its famous pier on the walls.

We look forward to welcoming you
at the re-styled and renovated Wash & Tope.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
