Acle Bridge Inn in Broadland

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.

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.

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.

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

Dog friendly place. Friendly staff. Good food.

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

Went for Sunday lunch and very.impessed

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

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.

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.

Very nice food and lovely staff

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

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

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

Great friendly staff ,food great will be goinh back 5 stars

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.

Beautiful location and wonderful food.

Whilst walking the dog my parents and I decided to stop at a nearby pub. We had no reservation booked and no idea what the pub would be like, we just knew that the pub was dog friendly which was important to us. We were pleasantly surprised upon arrival of the beautiful setting with boats moored up by the pub garden as one of the Norfolk broads rivers is behind the pub. We had a wonderful greeting and was offered a bowl of water for the dog. Having been shown our table we were handed a menu which had plenty of options, and catered for many tastes. I opted for the Hunters chicken and it was plenty. A nice large piece of butterfly chicken topped with cheese, bacon and BBQ sauce, onion rings on top of chips and a small pot of peas. It was very tasty, well presented and very filling. I just couldn't manage any more which was a shame as I rather fancied the Bakewell tart dessert. The environment was very homely with a fire and plenty of room for the tables and chairs. Too many restaurants cram you in, so it was nice to have room. The servers were very pleasant, and the atmosphere relaxed with background music. The dog curled up on the carpeted floor by the fire and because of all this we stayed longer than we had planned and ordered more to drink. We visited off season in poor weather. I bet this place is even more amazing in the summer sat outside in the very large pub garden by the river. You may need to reserve for summer though. And our bill was very reasonable. If you get the chance, do visit and I strongly believe you will also get the friendly greeting we did. Thank you to the staff for making my visit a ray of sunshine on a rainy day.

First time of visiting this pub and we weren't disappointed. Hunters choking was well recieved plus the steak and Guinness ale pie was brilliant. Thank. You to the staff Who were excellent.

Stopped for a light lunch, both had the ciabattas. As you can see in picture not a ciabatta ! The rolls were nice and tasty served with some crisps, simple salad and coleslaw - not high end food and cost wise the meal was £10 each. Paid just over £7 for a bottle of cider and a lime and soda. The staff behind the bar were lovely really friendly helpful, lady looking after seating you, very abrupt. We sat outside and we were told they have time slots for food outside - didn’t really understand the system so went to the bar and ordered anyway . Food arrived really quickly. The environment outside could do with some simple updates, it felt very 70’s/ early 80’s and the music was too loud for my liking. It’s child friendly with a nice play area and some amusements if that’s your thing. Lots of boats mooring and was lovely to watch them. Atmosphere was nice but not what I would call relaxing. This is a lovely location and a beautiful round room for dining. Lots of potential to this restaurant/pub, just needs investing and a good eye. I would visit again to see if this differs in the winter

A busy broads pub but I have to say that the burger that I had was amazing. I loved it. Service was very good and not slow despite it being so busy. My mum has a good allergy and the staff were fantastic at advising us, well done to you all.

We had a great meal and will return in the future

Really nice food and service ,great selection of beers and wines etc our waitress (Nika) couldn't have been more pleasant. Along with all the other staff, great gardens dog friendly 👍

Fantastic food, friendly staff, great atmosphere, reasonably priced 👍

Absolutely fantastic food, everyone enjoyed their food, great location right next to the river and the staff are all lovely. Dog friendly.

Lovely pub on side of the river at Acle.

Excellent all round. Went 3 times whilst staying locally, twice for dinner and once for breakfast. Couldn’t fault any of it, all food excellent and service great. Would thoroughly recommend.

Welcoming, friendly and helpful.Food was good several different meals were ordered. Outside area is pleasant on a sunny afternoon small children's play area could use a little update. Toilet's clean and baby facilities. Overall a lovely place to visit

Great pub with moorings for boats which we used. Pub is immaculately kept inside and out. Good selection of drinks with kids meals fairly priced. Food straightforward pub grub well done. Staff helpful and service quick. Just what we needed. Some play facilities for kids.

Friendly staff, lovely setting by the river. The pub has a great garden and play area The menu is extensive and they have various specials. Our food was delicious and the portions were huge

Visited 5 years ago and was disappointed with the food on this occasion. It is still a great pub to visit, great outdoor space for dogs and children. Just need to watch out for the road if you need to cross it for the boat moorings as there is a blind hump and cars travel fast on this road.

Very nice pub to visit, friendly helpful staff. Lovely food

Great food and friendly staff with good views of the broads.

A lovely pub great food nice spot by the river great staff.

Beautiful pub with amazing views. Food was fantastic as was the service we received. Will definitely be visiting again.

Had a lovely fish and chip meal on a bank holiday Saturday lunchtime.

Visited for dinner after mooring on the Bure for the night at the Acle bridge moorings. Excellent food and service. Highly recommended 👍

Lovely meal. Definitely will return

Had the chicken supreme, chicken very dry, it was more of a starter than a main very disappointing and definitely not cheap. Be a long time before we visit again

Fabulous burger and my daughter enjoyed her tapas

A superb setting for dinner. A friend and I ate outside, live entertainment was excellent on a sunny Sunday afternoon. The food was really good and what I would class as large portions.

We had a lovely meal, and the service was excellent.

Had a lovely breakfast with the family. Service was excellent from a young man on his first ever breakfast shift, he was fantastic; very polite and accommodating. Food was delicious and a reasonable price for a breakfast. Loved the country and western soundtrack for the morning atmosphere...enjoyed singing along!

Food is great but I feel the price is a little high for what we got. The flies were a bit of pain too.

Lovely riverside pub. Does get quite busy so service isn't speedy. However nice place to watch the works go by.

Friendly efficient staff good selection of food served hot . 2021 this year 36 Broadland MGOC members thoroughly enjoyed their first Christmas meal this year. Meal was well presented Very tasty and hot service was second to none staff were exceptional.

Visited while boating on the broads, sat outside in an enclosed area with out dog. Lovely food, great gluten free menu.

Lovely stop for lunch. Small arcade for the kids to play in. Food was good, if a little inflexible (the vegetarian options are limited so we were hoping to swap the added meat choice for an alternative veggie option - which we didn't mind paying extra for but "computer says no"). It obviously can get very busy, with the ordering system being run with military precision - you get given a time you can go up and order.

Great pub, super friendly helpful staff, and delicious food.

Disappointed with sandwich thick margarine on bread poor ham as advertised butchers ham

Lovely pub by the river. Sat out in the large outdoor garden. Would go back again.

Took 20 minutes for glass wine, I had to remind different server, and that was after Bill was settled

Lovely and friendly. Good food great atmosphere. On making a phone call to ask if we could be accommodated after being let down by a previous booked venue, we were welcomed. So impressed we booked again for later in the week.

Beautiful Restaurant and garden .Good menu and food was delicious,very large portions !

Great little spot that's dog friendly for our first night on The Broads. Food was good and decent portions kept our hungry teenagers happy. We got lucky with a mooring so late.

Beautiful pub on the riverside, kids amusements and play park.

Excellent, food was really good. Able to sit outside to watch the boats passing.

Lovely Riverside pub. Amazing food, great staff. Family friendly ❤️ our local away from home.
