| The Lattice House is possibly as idyllic as things get for a Wetherspoons pub. Unlike the usual plastic ‘Spoons by numbers, the Lattice House is a wonderful intimate 15th century building complete with many original internal and external features. It was first used as a pub in 1714 (known as Ye Olde Lattice Inn) but closed in 1924. Spoons have done an excellent job in retaining the character of the building and there are plenty of interesting photos and snippets on the walls regarding the building’s history. The pub doesn’t initially appear to be very big but it does have several small rooms and hidey holes although it does get a bit cramped and bottlenecked in places. There is a second bar upstairs that is also worth exploring with equally intimate seating and a small balcony overlooking the main bar under the wonderful vaulted roof. Unusually there is a full set of Ales in the upstairs bar as there is downstairs so Ale fans don’t need to keep going up and down with pints in your hand like in most other split level pubs. That said, just 2 guest beers were available on our visit (Oldershaw Best and Wolf “Granny Wouldn’t Like It” and both ran out during the course of the evening but just as I was resigning myself to a pint of Abbot they put on a new barrel of Nethergate Drunken Monkey. The general atmosphere was far more welcoming than its sister pub the Globe and, depsite being a Saturday night, the place was comfortably busy without being overwhelming although service was a bit slow at times. There is also a small beer garden at the rear which I didn’t actually notice until we left. There isn’t much to recommend in Kings Lynn on the pub front but the Lattice House is certainly worthy of attention, even if you are not a Wetherspoons fan RogerB - 7 Sep 2009 13:31 |
| Quite a nice, "traditional Wetherspoons" pub - exactly how a Wetherspoons should be. Nice and comfortable inside (although could do with more seats in the "tudor-framed" area near the bar" - back room lacks atmosphere a bit. Reasonable outside garden. Good range of usual Wetherspoons food and drink etc. More civilised and comfortable than the Lloyds No 1 (Globe Hotel) nearby. CookieEssex - 15 Jul 2009 18:51 |
| Nice building - far less bland an interior than a Spoons usual. If I stay at the Globe I eat here! Firedrake - 23 Mar 2009 15:30 |

| Harsh comments of late, but this is really one of the best real ale pubs in Lynn. Like all 'spoons avoid on Fri/Sat nights if pos and for a nicer atmosphere go upstairs to avoid any derelicts. Food is Wetherspoons (what did you expect ? The Savoy ?), but quite palatable. Usually has a good pint of Wherry or Wolf Jackal. G smardale - 6 Jun 2008 02:11 |
