Never Turn Back

Never Turn Back is a pub in Caister-on-Sea featuring Streamline Moderne architecture with clean lines and horizontal emphasis characteristic of the style. The Grade II listed building includes a south-facing garden with spaces designated for children.

The building was designed in 1956 by architect A. W. Ecclestone and reflects mid-twentieth century modernist developments. Its construction came more than 50 years after the maritime disaster that inspired its name.

The pub's name reflects a maritime tragedy from 1901 when nine local lifeboat crew members died at sea during a severe storm. This somber history shapes how the place is remembered and valued by the community today.

The pub serves food Tuesday through Saturday from 12:30 PM to 7:00 PM. The south-facing garden is a pleasant spot to sit outdoors, especially on sunny days.

This is the only pub in Britain with the name Never Turn Back. The connection between its name and the local maritime history makes it a memorial place that also functions as an everyday gathering spot.
