Very lovely old 60-foot dutch pilot boat (is it?) up against the harbour wall serving tea, beer and light bites with a traditional 3-piece folk band playing - great after a walk on Holkham beach. Good fun. A fiver should cover it.
 
Is this the "Albatross"? If so, she still, or until very recently, carried loads of grain across the North Sea with paying passengers. Whilst in harbour she gets used as a floating coffee bar and party boat etc. IIRC, a few years back she -rather embarrassingly- ran aground in the Wells channel, on a particularly big spring tide and had to wait a few months to be refloated.
