About the Rushcutters – your local country pub in Thorpe St. Andrew

Perched on the banks of the beautiful River Yare in Norfolk, the Rushcutters is a picture-perfect Grade II listed pub that’s been welcoming visitors since Elizabethan times – though we like to think we’ve improved the menu since then. 

With its rippling riverside charm and rich history, it’s the kind of place where the scenery is as delightful as the food and drink. Whether you’re watching the boats glide by or stretching your legs on a stroll along the Wherryman’s Way, you’ll find a warm welcome here at one of the cosiest pubs in Thorpe St. Andrew.

Discover Thorpe St. Andrew

Thorpe St. Andrew has all the hallmarks of a classic countryside escape: historic charm, riverside views and an exciting past that dates back to the days of bishops and baronets. 

Known as the ‘Richmond of Norfolk’ (minus the London crowds), this village oozes old-world elegance. There are so many pleasant places to enjoy a relaxing walk. You can explore Whitlingham Country Park, stroll along the River Yare or simply soak in the peaceful feel of this wonderful conservation area. 

And if the views don’t win you over, the Rushcutters certainly will – from our gorgeous riverside garden to our cosy nooks and open fire –  we’re as much a part of the village’s history as the river itself.
