Acle Bridge Inn in Broadland

Great place, food lovely dirty burgers, ploughman's and seafood bowl. Spacious restaurant, clean and staff friendly and attentive. Shelly helped us with local info after our meals regarding travelling into Great Yarmouth. Would recommend 👌 The dome ceiling is gorgeous aswell

Really special place and good Irish cooking

Holiday on the broads , Acle bridge is a must ,food lovely ,staff great all on the riverside

Absolutely brilliant!!! Staff were friendly it’s a relaxed atmosphere very family oriented and has amusements for the kids. Food is fantastic massive portions and very tasty. This pub is well worth a visit.

Brilliant food , very quick service 👌

Great staff and well priced good food

Went to get a drink on Friday night 16th May @21:50pm told couldn't serve us as they were closing. Signage clearly showed they were open until 22:30pm !?. We had paid £10 for mooring in front of pub, so we're surprised to be unable to purchase a drink 40mins prior to advertised closing time. Obviously very profitable business that can afford to turn away trade !!!.

Nice meal and had booked ahead which was good as was busy inside. If you're on a boat you can't book mooring spots at the pub ahead but there are extra before the bridge and although we thought they were all choca there was some further down past the no mooring signs. Nice meal and lots of seating inside and out

Not impressed. Food pretty ordinary. New potatoes barely cooked. Red curry chicken not very tasty. Wouldn’t go back.

Great place for a Sunday Lunch with friends! Dropped in on the off-chance we could be accommodated and got lucky! Lovely Steak & Guiness pie! Yummy!

The food was fantastic, and the service was second to none. We are on a boating holiday and there are plenty of moorings on either side of the river. We had a short walk over the road bridge to the pub. I would recommend booking a table as it can get very busy.

We had a very lovely time and the staff were very very lovely in the food was very nice..

Amazing pub, we came here several years ago when boating on the Broads, and visited again on our latest boating trip. Very friendly and helpful staff, amazing food, and a beautiful pub. I'd recommend booking as they seemed busy in the evening. We moored up overnight and breakfast was wonderful too. Pancakes with bacon were delightful, and nothing was too much trouble for the wonderful hostess :) Overall definitely going to be coming back again if we get the chance, and would highly recommend!

Loved it food service and atmosphere all absolutely amazing

Great location for a pub stop on the Broads. Decent menu, and Adnams beer to boot. Plenty parking space for my VW camper, and waterside tables (just a bit too chilly to dine outside on my visit in mid-May). Breakfasts available from 0900.

Family meal of 12. All food came out hot and together. Couldn’t fault service or food. Reasonable price too.

Popped in here on the off chance we could get something to eat. We needn't have worried. A dog in tow, shown to a vacant table, shortly after asked if we wanted a drink, and then if we wanted anything to eat. We had Guinness and steak pie, lamb kofta both were lovely, very nice indeed. Great food. Lovely views. Eat inside or out if you want. Beers, wine and spirits loads too choose from. Highly recommended, we will be coming again. Thank you.

Reasonable prices, cosy atmosphere with lovely broadside views. Perfect for a boat stop

Amazing food plenty of it. Sadly short of staff so a bit stressed.

Absolutely fantastic!! We had breakfast for 3 and the Labrador too. Excellent service, the food was amazing 2 large Bridge Breakfasts and bacon and maple syrup pancakes 🥞. Best pancakes this side of the Atlantic!! Definitely highly recommended. Excellent customer service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great evening menu, service excellent and nice beer garden overlooking river. Great breakfast as well.

Great food, traditional British Pub atmosphere. Great service and environment

Lovely food in lovely surroundings….

Originally stopped off to enjoy a nice pint with the family but decided to eat during our visit and what can I say we all decided on the smash burger from the menu and I can honestly say I've never experienced such a lovely tasting burger in my whole life it was bloody amazing and the side chips and onion rings were just as good, the pub was a lovely friendly place and suitable for all the family, the staff are amazing and very friendly and obviously have a great passion in running the place and supplying a fantastic service i highly recommend for anyone passing should stop off and be treated to great food and drinks along with such fantastic service

The food was delicious, the dessert was definitely the best homemade bakewell tart I have ever eaten. The pub was full, but not noisy, and if the sun was out we would of sat outside and took in the great scenery 👍

When we went in the lady who seated us wasn't very pleasant, the rest of the staff were lovely, food was ok, not as nice as it used to be there was more to choose from last time we went, gone a bit to much up market, but that's just me

Surprisingly pleasant, and very nice. I just had a drink here, and even though they were busy, the girls were still pleasant!!

I love this place for food and views, but when we more recently came the waitress was quite clearly unwell, was sneezing and coughing and sniffling and looked poorly. She served us the whole time and now our whole family is poorly with chest infections and flu/sinusitis type symptoms. If you're unwell stay off work or minimum wear a mask. Owners introduce sick pay if you don't have it. Thankyou.

Myself and three friends called at The Bridge Inn at Acle in the County of Norfolk. What a genuinely excellent establishment. The food was superb, the staff are exceedingly polite and most helpful. The selection of drinks is very good and the prices are good for the quality of preparation and presentation. We wish you continued success, just continue what you are doing, because your doing it so well. Tom Keyes. Northampton.

Good food good service friendly staff

We booked in advance as this is a very popular place to eat right on the river and very popular to moor a boat. They catered for our needs due to my wife's allergies to dogs as this is a dog friendly pub they have an area kept aside for no dogs which is the first pub we've visited that does this. Very good choice of food and drink. Great service and friendly staff. Definitely will return

It is one of our favourite pubs on the Broads. It is easy to moor outside, or park if driving, with a lot of room outsdie for the kids to stretch their legs. A meal for 6 adults and 4 children was just under £300. They have ride on amusements, playgrounds, and an arcade. Most things in the arcade are broken or rigged, so avoid that. Large beer garden, and nice effort inside. the bar is small, and so is the restaurant area, but we didn't get in anyone's way - it was fine. It's worth a stop if passing.

Love this place. They fitted us in as a party of 9 at very short notice as we were motoring up from Gt Yarmouth at the end of a long trip from Norwich across Breydon. Arrived 20 mins from sunset, a bit of creative mooring and into the pub where they sat us and served us very quickly despite being packed! Thank you!

The staff in here are lovely, but they can be slow to get things to you when they're busier. The food was good too, but the poached eggs were overcooked on the eggs florentine sadly. I would visit again as the location is gorgeous, as are the staff :))

We were lucky someone was leaving as we turned up, or we wouldn't have been able to park. Sat outside as we had our dog. It was a pretty chilly wind, so didn't stay as long as we planned. Was told the food would be an hour wait, but ordered Cheese Ploughman's that was bought out in about 10 minutes. It was tasty, very filling- the cheese waa delicious. I wish the brand was advertised as I forgot to ask.

Lovely meal and lovely setting combined with good service and good value 👍

Food was amazing....if you can eat a family sized pie then I definitely recommend it. 4 of us went for a main and dessert so definitely worth the cost. Very dog friendly. Remember to always ask to pet a dog....someone got bit

The Inn was clean, and the food was good. There were some nice views from the garden, and it was really nice to watch the boats float by.

Family friendly pub. Good food.Dog friendly. Riverside location. V clean and friendly.good parking. Ample mooring

Absolutely lovely ploughman's,lovely service from Shelly,. Beautiful view. Would highly recommend

Staff everyone was very friendly. Place is very clean. Food very tasty and generous size portions!

Decent pub but can get busy make sure you book!

Great place to sit by the river with a beer and watch the world go by. Friendly and helpful staff.

Sat out in garden alongside the Bure with a top notch BLT and pint at the end of a section of the Weavers Way. In March!

Expensive microwave food. Saw fridge full of microwave food in open fridge in kitchen on the way in. So basically a standard ping ping pub. No flair, no real cooking . Expensive drinks. £6.60 for a standard lager ! This is not London Mr Landlord. No wonder it was so quiet . £50+ for two mains and a couple of drinks is too much. No longer a pop in for a quick meal pub.. now have to save up for very average food. Better fresh food and drinks at lower prices available elsewhere. Service excellent, but it is not enough to temp me back in a hurry.

We moored at the pub twice on our weeks boating holiday. Had an evening meal and our fellow sailors had 2 breakfasts which were fantastic. All the staff were really friendly and helpful. Our two dogs were made to feel very welcome.

Really lovely place. The food choice is excellent and the quality is brilliant with generous portions. The main host is always very welcoming and friendly and this radiates through his staff.

Nice food, pretty location. Basic service, had to get our own cutlery but nothing to compliance about, but at the same time no reason for 5 stars hence the 4

Sat in garden very quick service after ordering at bar. Easy to park bikes .

Absolutely fantastic meal and drinks at the Acle Bridge Inn! Highly recommend the Steak Pie. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and reasonable prices. Great pub if you’re on a boat too.

Excellent lunch served. Very clean and well maintained.

Lovely place , great food,friendly atmosphere 😊

Airways a lovely spending experience here at the Acle Bridge. Great food. Great service. Highly recommend. 👍🏻

Sunday roast excellent beautifully cooked lots of taste in the meat. Staff very friendly. Good prices. Definitely go back view looking over the river.

Excellent place cosy and comfortable ,brilliant food and staff. Highly recommend.

Only Coffee and a bowl of chips but very nice pub with good service and nice host 👍

Lovely and friendly. Had space for us to sit down and have a drink even though hadn’t reserved a table

Nice pub for a Sunday lunch with great views of the river.

An absolutely wonderful stop for lunch when visiting my mum on Monday! Delicious food. She had the hunters chicken & I had the ham,egg & chips. Both were perfectly sized portions & absolutely delicious. We also thought both meals & drinks were very fairly Priced. The service was excellent. The host & serving staff were warm & friendly. We felt like we were regulars despite it being our first visit.

Great place to stop Service was fantastic And the burgers were top notch

A friendly buzzing atmosphere. We all had roast beef, and the portions were perfect. The plates had a rim, which is handy, but the serrated knives were dull. The califlower cheese was an add-on and was disappointing. It had been overcooked in water and had not been baked. The portion was large but not good. The Acle Bridge Inn was dog friendly. Notes: You pay at the bar(waitress didn't tell us) The price is reflected in the quality.

We (4 plus 2 dogs) visited the Acle Bridge Inn for the first time on Saturday evening, and we’ll definitely be back again, the staff were very welcoming, the atmosphere was good, and the food was great. The comment on the menu warning that the Steak & Guinness Pie was “not for the faint hearted” was definitely true. Nonetheless I’d wholeheartedly recommend it.

Dog friendly place. Friendly staff. Good food.

Great place, had our friends 30th here. Nice venue, great food at good prices, staff very helpful and friendly. Will visit in the summer as the outside part looks lovely by the river Good easy parking Had the roast dinners, which were great

Great place. We were passing by after watching seals at the beach. Very generous portions, fish & chips to die for. We have also ordered soup to share, which was absolutely delicious, but we have rolled out from the restaurant - so full 😆 service was super friendly and very professional. 3000+ reviews and such a high rating are totally deserved. I highly recommend it if you are in the area.

We ate here for three consecutive nights whilst staying in the village. The food is excellent, served hot with good sized portions. Good selection of drinks available, the seating area is well spaced out, and best of all dog friendly. All the staff are very friendly and efficient at their jobs, obviously well trained and overseen by Phil who made us most welcome as soon as we walked in on the first night. So it's many thanks from us and when we are back in the area, we will definitely visit you once again.

A really friendly family orientation pub,a nice friendly welcome from the owner and very pleasant and chatty staff,food was amazing

Pub near the Norfolk market town of Acle Approx a mile from A47, 10 miles from Gt yarmouth and 15 miles from Norwich Good range of food, lasagne was lovely And the raspberry pavlova dessert was lush Friendly staff Large free car park

Went for Sunday lunch and very.impessed

Invited to attend a works dinner, food excellent, staff friendly, very relaxed atmosphere couldn't fault it. Great pub tastefully decorated. If 1 small minor the children's pictures around the wood burner fireplace, think they would be better placed away from the fire onto maybe a wall around the corner. Lovely place, good size carpark.

Just another place where they think about dogs more than customers we don't want to eat in a kennel with dogs barking.

I have been here several times and have enjoyed the food and service has been excellent. Booked a table today.My food was brought to me in a pasta bowl,no I did not order pasta,the service was poor. I don't think I will be going back.

We have just had a lovely visit to acle bridge inn, food was really delicious I had fish pie and pavlova stack My daughter had beef and guiness pie and crumble. We were welcomed by a great scouser with a big friendly personality and the service was great throughout the whole meal. Sat by the fire which kept our 12 week old baby cosy and asleep in her pram Will return xx

Brilliant place, landlord and landlady have an amazing team that makes the visit perfect

We booked for breakfast at the Acle Bridge pub as a party of 5. It was a cold, damp and misty morning and we were welcomed to the pub with a roaring fire and the whole pub was beautifully adorned in Christmas decorations. All of the food was wonderful, my Bridge Breakfast was superb, hot and very tasty. We will be definitely returning as the food and ambience were excellent 👌

Great food, good location Loads of parking. Staff friendly and polite. Phil was such a good host.

Lovely staff and prompt service food was great

Best Christmas dinner in a pub in a long time

Had a lovely birthday meal today at the Bridge great service lovely food was very busy but 5 🌟 all the way decorated lovely for Christmas .

Visited by boat during the cold snap of Nov 2024. The real wood fire was much appreciated, as was the great food and helpful friendly staff. Mooring needs some remedial work as some of the rings are missing / in the process of pulling out. Shore power was available for boats for £5 a night. Boat water available from nearby boat year (just the other side of the bridge) for £2.

A little hidden gem, a warm welcome, hadn't booked a table, although they were busy, they were very happy to accommodate us. I had a steak and guiness pie, which was delicious, the other meal was fish and chips which was equally delicious. Staff were wonderful. I loved the warmth from the fire. Will be visiting again soon. Price was reasonable, with £9 meals on offer at the moment.

Quality food, quality service. Best sticky toffee pudding I’ve ever had. Shelley was very accommodating and helpful with advice on things to do nearby. Would highly recommend!

Great Sunday Roast, service and ambience. 5 ☆☆☆☆☆ from us!

Only popped in for a coffee but received a warm welcome and had a lovely Cappuccino. Lots of people having breakfast and it looked really good so will return in the future to try it for myself.

One of our favourite places on the broads. Excellent food reasonably priced. 10/10

Just had breakfast - it was really nice. Prompt delivery with Friendly service.

Absolutely love this pub - it’s always a pit stop when on the broads. The pub inside and out is so lovely. Doggy friendly and really lovely welcoming staff - the male gent and younger male always their when we go and how they treat you is top customer service ( We came Tuesday ) what a beautiful pub and amazing food at brilliant prices. I’d advise as soon as you pull up or before you get there to book a table, as it’s always extremely busy and everyone seems to of booked, it’s so worth the wait for a table. See you next year.

Very nice food and lovely staff

2024 review Menu same as before, but with amended children's option. Now on menu you can have a third of a pie for the children. We was told it was very popular. The food we felt was exceptional, with the exception of my gravy that seemed watery. However nobody else's seemed to be, we came back a couple of nights later and my gravy was fine. So I think we will chalk up the first lot of gravy as a "broads mystery". Very welcoming and hospitable. The temperature of the building I felt to be too hot, however nobody wants it cold. Radiators make atmosphere incredibly hot. Our daughter saw a sign "family friendly" which she told me put her at ease, she really loved that and made her feel welcome. Toilets very clean and my wife said there was hand cream and soap which was a lovely touch. Servers Chard and Shane were particularly good and stood out to us as genuine assetsnto their team. All in all, a far more pleasant experience than last year and we will Def be back for some of that delicious pie. 2023 review Ok, well we come on the broads every year, we came to acle bridge last year, and although pricey we agreed it was the best meal. This year we returned, after a week of eating in various places I'm afraid to say we felt let down. If you want a cider, and I don't mean a fruit cider, I mean a proper apple cider, u better like aspalls, aspalls, or at a push they also have aspalls. The pie was actually very nice, described as 'not for the faint hearted'. The reality was, my 7 year old daughter wanted some, but they was unwilling to deviate from the menu at all.  So we ordered another main and she had half and my wife had half.  My daughter ate her half and I personally think she could've polished off the whole meal.  The pie was very nice but as for "not for the faint hearted". . . . I think the size of the meal was surprisingly "average".  Im unsure of who they are used to feeding, but I'm assuming that they arent used to people from the fen.  Very nice, but a very standard size. When we asked about the meal options for children we was told "the menu is the menu". And we was then informed what other parents do, and how they supplied the children's meals via "market research".  I'm very aware what other parents do, but we aren't really into feeding our children what other people expect them to eat. When we tried to discuss this with our server she just said, I would love to talk to you about this but I'm to busy.  I understand it must have been hard with her workload as there was our table and 1 other to deal with. Must have been tough.  So we tried to talk with the manager who had no time for us and pretended to hear a phone ringing and told us to talk to the server who was about as much use as an inflatable dartboard. All in all, meals tasted very nice, but if someone asked for a recommendation, hand on heart, I would direct them to "acle spice", where we had a take away 2 nights ago.  We were happier with the food, service and it was cheaper. It's a sad sad day when a takeaway beats a restaurant for service, food, price and general hospitality. But I guess that's the world we live in.

Really nice good and really friendly waiters. They have vegan options although could improve on the main vegan burger - but the starter and dessert was great!

Nice pub, visited on a Sunday afternoon so it was busy. Service was good and although the roast dinner was OK, I would probably have enjoyed something off the main menu more.

Friendly, clean, highly recommend. We visit whenever in the area.

Fantastic place. Called in on a Sunday no booking and they still managed to get us a table. Great food will definitely be going back

Great service lovely place..food is beautiful..had a breakfast for the first time and it was gorgeous

We stayed here for a lunch,when we was on our boating holiday. Absolutely beautiful place,service and food was lovely,and really made welcome.its a must visit if your in the aera

Second visit and as the first was first class and great value. Service was friendy and welcoming and food was served with a smile. Dog friendly too and the dog was offered a drink before me which was a pleasant surprise......booking recommend as can be busy....great spot on the river with a lovely dog walk along the bank. Superb outdoor area....see you again soon.

Beautiful venue with great friendly service. Delicious food and ales

The food and service are excellent. All staff are very welcoming and helpful. Acle Bridge Inn is also dog friendly inside and outside which is a big plus.

Popped in for Sunday lunch, had a lovely steak and ale pie with all the trimming, the service was top notch, & the food was excellent, the staff was very helpful and prompt. It was recommended to me so I'll recommend it to you all. The place is also dog friendly. 5 stars from me.
