Falgate Inn in North Norfolk - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

OK TV bar, friendly staff, food not great. I had prawn salad, a decent portion of prawns, but salad from a bag that still had all the brown ends on. Mayo was so empty none could be got out, I got up and asked for another, which was also pretty much empty, I got up again and finally got a new bottle.

Lovely village pub/inn, Welcoming staff and food was nice. Very nice layout inside with three bars, and with separate restaurant….

The staff were attentive and couldn’t help more. The food was delicious and served quite quickly seeing as they had a packed public bar hosting a very loud pop quiz. Although it was noisy I’m sure most nights are calm and have a lovely atmosphere

Once again great food and location, dog friendly with friendly staff. Own dogs in residence but very friendly. Locals all very chatty and landlord and landlady welcoming. Great pub

We all had been told this was the place to go in Potter Heigham. It was a huge disappointment. The restaurant is divided into two, a narrow gangway leads from the bar to the toilets, non stop traffic to and fro. Secondly it seems a home for every type of dog possible. The manager/owner is followed everywhere by his noisy Alsatian plus a miniature that runs around willy nilly. More Battersea Dogs Home than a decent pub. Why are dogs allowed where people sit and eat? It was an unpleasant evening and as we tour East Anglia in our quest for the perfect dining experience sadly this one is down at the bottom.

Had a lovely meal with 5 of my friends whilst on a river trip, friendly and accommodating staff, good value, large portions, wish I could come more often ! The owners and staff, especially Nathan couldn't have done more for us

Booked for Saturday evening..Nice food and good service. Reasonable pricing too. Quite lively but as to be expected for a bank holiday and a weekend. Take no notice of the negative reviews and try it for yourself.

Excellent all round. Very welcoming, good atmosphere, fantastic food, great service. Highly recommended for family, friends or business.

We had a great meal here, while on a short boating holiday on The Broads. My younger son and I had the Fried Chicken burger, with chips and onion rings; my older son had Scampi and Chips, and my husband had ribs. The food was excellent, particularly the chips. The female staff that dealt with us were really friendly and I felt very welcomed. It was a Saturday evening, and quite lively in the bar area, but I did enjoy the 80's pop they were playing. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is that the three adults in our group are fans of craft beers and lagers and the selection on offer is a bit boring. Perhaps it is a brewery pub and cannot change the offerings? However, the food and service were great so I would defintely recommend.

Fantastic food, excellent service, dog friendly! Really great selection on the menu, we had starters and mains, two things that were on special, and it was all fantastic. Portion sizes left us stuffed and prices very reasonable. Would absolutely recommend. Walked from Womack Staithe which was a good 35 mins with a child but worth it and needed the walk back to burn it off.

My wife and I decided to order from the saver menu as it was 2 for 1. While reading the saver menu in front of the waitress we asked what the pie was and the waitress pointed to a blackboard where it was written a choice ,( pies on blackboard were about £15) When the pies came they were nice however when we paid we had been charged the price for the more expensive choice from the board and not 2 for 1 despite clearly wanting the 2for 1 pies off the paper menu . When we questioned the bill her reply was. “You choose off the board, and if you had the other pies they would of been smaller”( the pies we had could of easily fitted in my palm so can’t imagine what smaller ones would of been like?) To make an extra £15 they lost our custom for good , shame as we live quite close

After a lovely walk we had planned to stop here for lunch but we received a nasty attitude from one the bartenders it was unbelievable. We didn’t do anything wrong apart from wanting to order our drinks but she felt grieved because she had to stop chit chatting with some blokes having a drink. She gave us an unpleasant attitude and didn’t even make an attempt to say a word to us. After our drinks we left and vowed not to go back. But her attitude might have been a blessing in disguise because when I went to the restrooms the door was smeared in what appeared to be human extremant.

I visited with my partner, and his dogs, a couple of times, We decided to try Sunday lunch, there was a good selection but no roast dinners ,which were stopped for the summer season. We chose a home made chicken and mushroom pie with veg selection, the pie was excellent with large chunks of chicken and nice pastry. There is a limited selection of ales, but plenty of other choices, including cocktails. There is a vegetarian menu and specials board, again some nice options for mains. starters and desserts, prices are fair considering the area. The Folgate has three rooms and outside seating. There is a play area for children, So child and dog friendly . Heating is provided for colder evenings. There was live music on Saturday night The interior is comfortable with numerous TVs to watch sport ,etc. The pub is in a very quiet village, no streetlights nearby so you will need a torch if you visit in the evening. .

This is a fantastic pub/restuarant it has been tastefully refurbished and the decor is quite modern. The service is great, staff are amazing and the food amazing, with huge portions. They have music on weekends

Great food, great beer, great service, get down there! Albeit TripAdvisor need me to write a 100 characters to I'll refer you to the first bit🙄

Smashing little gem of a place excellent patio area, play area for the children too. Restaurant area inside, large TV, sky sports..super friendly staff and service food was excellent good menu choice and selection of beers and wines..a ten minute walk down to the river..well worth a visit.

Overall a nice visit however not quite getting it right. Tables were sticky and service slow. Food was good though and would come back

We had a wonderful meal here, accompanied by our two dogs who were warmly greeted by the wait staff. For starters we had whitebait and prawns and they were both tasty and freshly cooked. For mains, my husband had a Tomahawk pork chop which he was delighted with and said he was cooked to perfection. I had the steak and chorizo tacos which were also great. The atmosphere and ambiance were relaxed and we really enjoyed our meal. It’s so nice to have our dogs with us and you can see that the staff love them too!

Very disappointing meal the fish and ham(different meals) very dry ,when I informed the staff no response whatsoever from the catering team

If you are looking for a gastro pub that sells overpriced food, hundreds of wines, and two beers, then look elsewhere. This is a proper village pub that serves a good range of beers and good food for a decent price. The staff are friendly even though they are dealing with a packed pub. I would happily visit here again.

Lovely evening here spent with our grandsons, food was excellent and staff very friendly. Highly recommended.

Walked from the marina to this pub, it’s approx 1 mile. Great service and great food. We would definitely recommend a visit

We visited this pub last year and had a lovely Crab Salad. Visited this year menu has changed alot of Mexican type food,burgers etc. I had homemade quiche with new potatoes and salad. Quiche was cold,salad consisted of a couple of leaves,new potatoes looked awful. Husband had sausage and mash. Unfortunately not our kind of food. Wouldn't visit again.

Booked a table while at Herbert Woods boatyard as it’s really near with handy car park. Quite busy but service was quick and friendly. Food good, gammon steak especially and prices reasonable. Only comment is the chips were a little undercooked. Good choice of beers. Will definitely visit again when next in the area.

Stopped by for family lunch whilst holidaying in Norfolk. Found the pub on trip advisor and reviews were good. Had a really lovely lunch, welcoming staff very friendly and the resident yorkie. Dog friendly pub, garden a sun trap with a decent play area if you have you young children. I had the Brie and red onion chutney ciabatta with side salad. It was flourless and the chutney was the best I had. Husband had a burger which he said was lush and daughter had the southern fried chicken burger and chips. Chips were lovely and the menu choice was perfect. Pretty quirky and excellent service. Will be coming back in September when we are here again.

Pub is split in two parts front is a little bar then opens out to a bigger bar and restaurant. There is no menu it is only a blackboard of food. I had a lamb masala and it was gorgeous. My husband had chicken chirozo and seafood paella. It looked lovely and he said it was. Unfortunately my dad had a chicken and bacon burger. The chicken was so tough he could not chew it. The rest of his meal was nice chunky chips salad etc. Shame the chicken was so well done. The pub is lovely staff very friendly snd all in all a really nice evening.

Arrived a little early for a booked meal, despite this they were able to put some tables together and got us in early. Food was very good as was the beer, service was also very good. Prices were a little more than most pubs but not overly expensive as it was good quality and decent portions. Would go back.

First time here… the food is amazing. The owners made you feel welcome.. kids loved it… great family pub.. will recommend to friends and family …

Visited tonight and was bowled over by the delicious food and excellent staff and service, a little bit of a walk from the river but well worth it when we got there, the bread and butter pudding was to die for x

This rates as the best and most interesting menu for a pub I think I’ve come across. Very Spanish-orientated menu with lots of variety. I personally had anchovies on ciabatta bread which were to die for - especially as anchovies are among my favourites. Then had a starter portion of mussels in a creamy rich sauce. All washed down with local perfectly served ale. Lovely attentive friendly staff. Nearly forgot - had a yummy doorstep cheese and onion sandwich lunchtime two days before.

Best food I've eaten in years. Should be Michelin starred but so glad it isn't, the reasonable prices would increase. Congratulations to all the friendly staff. My partner is a chef and had to compliment the chef on the lobster.

Great pub very full and busy friendly staff my husband had fish and chips which I thought I couldn't have but to my surprise they said no problem so I had. Yummy fish in a really light gluten free batter with boiled potatoes it was delicious

Spacious garden with outside seating;. Vegetarian and vegan courses. Good-quality food. Efficient service. Dog-friendly

called in twice while on holiday, sunday lunch was nice apart from the lamb, too pink for me and my partner, called in again for a cooling drink and had a lovely ploughmans two days later, best scotch egg ive ever eaten, friendly place, one thing i have noticed at a lot of places in norfolk are the places showing signs saying food served all day,,,,then told that no food until 5pm, this seems to happen in most establishments, would reccomend the falgate, very good.

We were staying locally at a caravan park and walked to falgate inn. We went into the sports bar- hadn’t booked- but extremely friendly staff accommodated us and we drank and ate in the sports bar. Food was excellent. Fish and chips lovely. Nice music. Friendly atmosphere. Thank you.

Thank you very much everyone at the Falgate Inn who helped find us a pitch for our Campervan. Very hospitable and helpful with a lovely family atmosphere.

Visited several times while on holiday for food and drinks. Lovely pub that has 3 separate rooms. The one nearest the car park is small, with big TV and music playing, 2nd room is used more as a restaurant area. We had a bar meal on the first evening and sat in the courtyard area. Food was lovely and staff all very friendly.Had Sunday dinner there also and the food was amazing. Took about 35 mins from ordering the Sunday roast to getting it which surprised me, but it was beautiful when it came - piping hot and very very tasty. The only thing I really did not like was we were sat at a table next to a very large TV that had a football match playing - not really what I wanted when eating my dinner.Could see that the 3rd bar room also had a TV on the wall as well as a large TV in the courtyard garden. Lovely pub but TVs should not be on in every room - not everyone wants to watch TV when eating/drinking.

A lovely Sunday lunch in a totally transformed pub! Great service in a peaceful pub garden. Sunday lunch was amazing, the veg was scrummy and the gravy to die for 😀 Will definitely be back 👍👍

Went for a meal,but it was part Country pub,part disco and part Sports bar, A bit disorganised .food OK. Put off by the noise . Need to get a single identity.

We ate at the Falgate Inn whilst on a visit to Potter Higham.The food was absolutely amazing, staff were friendly, polite and very accommodating. The beer garden us fabulous for families and even has a mini football pitch for children to play.If you are visiting this area, don't miss out on a visit just a 10 minute walk from the Harbour and worth every step!

We tried to moor up for a pub lunch in Ludham, no space available, so back to Potter Heigham to moor up and walk to find a pub. The pub is well signposted, so was easy to find. Walked in we were directed through a door to a small bar and courtyard. Only 2 people in the bar. The TVs were on full volume which was a bit off putting.We ordered drinks and food, from a reduced menu as the chef was on holiday. The waitress was very friendly and our food came freshly cooked, not microwaved. I had the fish and chips and it was the best I have had in a long time, really thin crisp batter. We had a couple of drinks and headed back.This pub is being “done up” I think it is a bit in between at the moment, but once completed will be a great place to come. Small courtyard, large garden and a few seating areas inside. Pleasantly surprised with the food.

We had very low expectations when we arrived as we had booked last minute on a rainy day on our holiday. The place looked like it was for the locals.However we soon changed our opinion when we saw the menu and were greeted by the very friendly staff.The adults opted for a selection of starters which were absolutely excellent. We had mackerel with heritage tomatoes, patatas bravas , chicken with korean Mayo, chorizo with red wine, scotch egg with piccalilli and prawns with sauce vierge! The attention to detail was amazing. The children were delighted with Pearl barley risotto and steak. The puddings are never as good as the main but here they were! Biscoff cheesecake, caramel apple pie and ice cream. All delicious.The staff were amazing - so helpful and delightful. An amazing evening! Thank you

Very friendly. The food was really good. Vicky looked after us really well. We would definitely return if we were in the area.

I picked this pub to meet my son and family, who we hadn’t seen for 18 COVID months. What a good choice it turned out to be. Excellent food, good friendly staff and a lovely garden for my grandson to play in. We enjoyed it that much, we returned for Sunday lunch!

We found the lady (ex PremierInn -their loss) so fabulously friendly. We hadn’t booked she accommodated all 6 of us with two dogs. The food was delicious, very very fresh and filling. Thoroughly recommend their house burger and fish and chips. Homemade scotch eggs too.

A brilliant pub with great staff and great food. The landlady and staff could not be more accommodating if they tried. We were looking for something to eat and they managed to squeeze us in after almost being caught in a torrential downpour. Thank you!

We were glad we took the short walk from the bridge at Potter Heigham to the Falgate Inn.We had a pleasant lunch out the back and the kids were able to play some football while we had refreshments. Then some good pub grub - fish and chips were particularly good.

Not a good experience, they charged us twice for food. Messaged them several times to request they look into it and never heard back from them.

Great night, Great food , great staff ,Great company Would highly recommend Vicky, & the landlady could not do enough for us . Brilliant Evening . & England bet Germany. ⚽️

We came in for lunch today and my husband had what he described as the best roast dinner out he has ever had. I had caramelized cauliflower with lots of lovely trimmings and the most fabulous cheesecake. We were brilliantly looked after by the owners daughter on her weekend off from being a sister at Guys hopital. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Good food and friendly staff.Not Covid comfortable as too many customers allowed in and wandering around without wearing masks. Some staff members not wearing masks.Social distancing not within guidelines, we had a group of people seated within 2 feet of us.Will not be returning.

We visited this pub 2 years ago whilst staying at potter Heigham it was so good we returned on our last night as it was in walking distanceThis visit however was a little different pub looks a little run down tables were very sticky no mats for our drinks.I had a burger and my husband had steak the food was OK, nothing spectator and we wouldn't rush back in a hurryDisappointing really as 2 years ago it was very good

Had the beer battered cod and chips never had anything so tasty in my life portion was huge couldn’t move after eating as I was so full would recommend to anyone

Very lucky to get a table for food as they were fully booked. A perfect medium rare sirloin steak with peppercorn sauce accompanied by the BEST EVER chips - soaked in wagyu fat - they were amazing as were the homemade onion rings. I wish I lived closer so I could eat here more often. Hubby's burger was good too. Service was also very good. Nice sunny beer garden with well spaced out tables. Cannot recommend highly enough but be sure to book in advance so as not to be disappointed if they can't fit you in.

Great food and possibly the best service we’ve ever experienced. Eight of us eating and everyone catered for brilliantly. The staff remembered specific drink requirements, were great with the children and were amazingly attentive. The waitress overheard one of us saying we should have asked for no ice, the next drink (20 mins later) came out with no ice even though it wasn’t asked for. Steak was cooked to perfection as was everything else! Very impressed and will be back!

Had last been to The Falgate in 2019 for a quick drink and it wasn’t anything special. However, the same cannot be said now. We went for a meal and were very pleasantly surprised.The feel of the place is still a bit confused, somewhere between the slightly tired pub it used to be and the top notch gastro-pub it has the potential to be.The beer selection is still a bit standard, but the food is outstanding. Fresh local ingredients with MasterChef style presentation and, crucially, really tasty. The chef clearly knows what they are doing.Can’t wait to see what is next for this place. A certain visit next time we are in the area.

Having visited on a weekday lunchtime after previously having looked at their website we were surprised to be told no food being served. Website doesn't make that clear. Possibly a blessing in disguise as the pub appeared scruffy inside and out.

On the Broads for a week returning our boat to nearby Herbert Woods we drove to the nearest pub and got the most unfriendly welcome told no table available drove a little further and found another pub made so welcome drove past later and no one in . Perhaps the host didn’t like my Leeds mask avoid at all costs !!!

We were cruising the broads sampling many pubs and their food and we decided to spend a night at Potter Heigham. We discovered that the only place serving food after 7pm was the Falgate.we phoned to book a table for 1930 but we were informed that we could have 1845 because they were booked for 1930. This was not a problem for us. We departed our boat at 1830 armed with 4 torches. We arrived at the pub and following covid 19 protocol we were introduced to our host, a very pleasant young man who took our drinks order and when we were ready, our food order. On first impression the dining area seemed a little tatty and outdated , but when the food arrived all of those misconceptions disappeared . 4 absolutely delicious meals , the steaks perfectly rare , the gammon seared just right, the lasagna was obviously home made and the chips were divine. 4 people, 6 glasses of wine , 6 pints and 4 delicious meals for less than £100 . If you are visiting the area and you don't visit this place then you are missing possibly the best food on the broads north of Yarmouth. To avoid disappointment you must phone and book, I can assume that the kitchen must be very small, but this makes the food great and adds more of a personal touch.

Phoned up on Tuesday 22nd September at lunchtime asked if they had a table that evening they managed to get us in lovely food had gammon my partner and I had scampi very good size portions for the price good valve for the size of portions the tables spread out and one way System in and out but they only downside was not having disposable or printed menus like all pubs are doing it was in a folder which they give to everyone not COVID 19 Rules

We arrived in the Broads late on Friday. This pub is the only walkable one from Potter Heigham Bridge and as it advertised pub food, we thought we would just go and see if we could get a meal, although we hadn't booked. We arrived at around 7.15pmWell the Covid 19 arrangements were practically non-existent. There was an empty bottle of sanitizer in the porch and one way system indicated on the floor along an unpleasant looking strip of carpet.There were people seated at a couple of tables and nobody appeared from behind the bar for ages. Eventually a very unsmiling woman came out and we asked if they were doing food. After some thought, she said they had a party of 2 coming in at 7.30 and a party of 6 coming in at 7.45, so no sorry! Nobody else was eating just local drinkers1!Clearly not remotely interested in serving any customers.We decided to stay for a drink and sat down at a corner table which I wiped with my own wipes, just in case!! Drinks were served in a surly manner.When the party of 6 came in,( a bunch of local guys) they all crowded round the bar talking to the landlady and leaning on the bar etc. She only seemed to be interested in talking to her mates either at the bar or going round the tables chatting.We finished our drinks and went to leave, but the exit door was bolted, so clearly no-one had been using it! There was a young lad behind the bar who seemed pleasant. Felt sorry for him really.Can't comment on the food, but have no intention of returning to this unwelcoming place

Proper pub food, just that really, we had gammon and fish and chips, all really well cooked and presented, really tasty, good portions, filling and great value ! Does exactly what it says on the tin

From the nanky green carpet to the surly woman who eventually acknowledged our presence this was quite possibly the worst place we have ever been.

We visited for Sunday lunch today , on first impressions the pub looks a bit tired & not too welcoming, as we had 2dogs we had to sit in garden which we knew as don’t allow dogs inside. They only do Traditional Sunday lunch which was what we wanted with decent choice of meats . Meals came out nice & hot with 3 choices of potatoes, peas carrots, cabbage , cauliflower & broccoli & homemade Yorkshire puddings a good plateful cooked just right all for £8.50 . We also ordered puddings nice decent size with plenty custard. Good old fashioned Landlord & lady . Great value for money.

What a delight, a lovely landlady the food was great real grub no fast food nonsense. Superb beer best pint I've had in a long time.

We'd had a busy day sailing the Norfolk Broads and Potter Height was one of our stops - we looked forward to visiting one of the two pubs or maybe both for drinks and food. Sadly the Norada 2018 was closed, no doubt due to Covid-19, so we had a stroll half a mile up the road to the Falgate.We had to enter round the back, which was a ramshackle affair of tatty tables and chairs and the building itself in need of maintenance. On entering, the few folk in the pub looked at us and said 'ring the bell' - I could see a chap at the far end of the bar and said 'Hello' but he possibly didn't hear me. I rang the little bell (to great hilarity of the local) and he came to help us.We asked if we could book a table for 5 and would we be OK with our well behaved 6 month old Labrador. He said 'Dogs aren't allowed' so we asked if it was possible to have a table outside. He said 'OK, but we can only do 7pm or 8.15pm' 7pm would have been too early to get back to our boat, get everyone ready and walk back there, so we opted for 8pm. I asked if we could come at 7.30 as we were eating outside and he said 'We have a table booked already for 7.30'I said 'Does it make a difference that we are going to be outside?' thinking that we wouldn't be taking up a table inside. He seemed exasperated and explained that the kitchen can only cope with one order at a time. Fair enough, I said, I just wondered if it was a table problem or a kitchen problem. I said we would go for 8.15pm.He said 'It will be dark' and then 'Perhaps I can rig up a bulb in a tree' which I thought was helpful, but perhaps he was having fun with me.I had a look at the menu, there is a large selection of pub favourites - see photos.On leaving, we took another look at where we were expected to eat outside and our hearts sank.We walked around the front of the pub and there is no pavement so you have to walk in the road for a couple of hundred yards and a car came speeding past us. We decided then that it wouldn't be safe to walk there in the dark - it was barely safe in the light.On discussion, we felt the overall ambience of the place was foreboding, it was like the pub that time forgot. The chap we spoke to didn't seem to want our business and I think this is a place for locals to drink and be entertained by holidaymakers that have ventured up there.We got back to the boat and cancelled and had a takeaway curry instead, which was delicious. I cannot comment on their food, but they should seriously look at asking the council for a pavement and think about catering for tourists and people with dogs.

Visited this charmless hell hole with the promise on the outside menu board promising “a range of meals” Ventured inside to a mostly empty 1970s style grotto. The ambience was colder than an iceberg as was the service. We enquired to the lady serving if there are any menus. She curtly replied we only do roasts on a Sunday and “I’m not doing anymore today” Charm in abundance right there yet when we turned to leave she actually turned around and stated we can just leave the way we came. So thus basically we were thrown out of a pub. And to be fair after reading reviews. Sounds like she done us a favour All in all the pub is run down the staff are about as friendly as red hot poker and we won’t be visiting this particular dive once again

We made a telephone reservation for 7.15 as we wanted to eat out side. On arrival we were informed they had no Stella, no Carling and no Amstel. The only draught Lager was Corrs Light. The beer was undrinkable tasted like Cider so I am guessing the pipes needed cleaning.We waited for someone to come to us with the menu so after half an hour we decided to go to the bar to get the menus ourselves. We were told that they did not know where the menus were. Eventually we studied the menu and were ready to order. Nice and easy 4 starters and 3 Rump Steaks and a Gammon. One of the starters was supposed to be Pate but it was Ham Hock . After completing our starters we waited a further 20 minutes for our plates to be cleared.A further 20 minutes we were informed that that did not have any Gammon and they only had 2 steaks. So eventually we re ordered and around 9 pm our food turned up . Everything was greasy , the presentation was appalling and the steak was like boot leather. As it was now so late the garden was full of midges hence we wanted to eat earlier.We decided enough was enough so we asked for our bill. Working off scraps of paper not a till in site it took 20 minutes to work out our bill which was four starters 4 mains and 4 rounds of drink and £ 142.00 later we decided to go.We complained to a member of staff who physically put his head in his hands who apologised on behalf of the owners.The place was a mess filthy dirty ,disgusting toilets and no signs of segregation.After further investigation the pub has been issued with a food hygiene rating of 1 by the local council which explains it all.

First impressions when we arrived wasn’t brilliant, lack of atmosphere and not the most welcoming. Came for a meal here after a busy day out on holiday. We booked a table to eat for 7:15 as they said they couldn’t fit us in to eat any earlier. I was expecting it to be really busy (within reason due to covid regulations) but only 1 table eating in the restaurant and another 2 tables drinking in the bar area when we arrived for a drink half an hour earlier than our booking. We didn’t get sat in the restaurant until 8pm and then got our food quite some time later. Despite first impressions and the the long wait the food was delicious and very reasonably priced. When we return to the area I’m sure we will visit again and give it another go. I would like to make a polite suggestion.... the piece of fabric/ curtain thing on the door from the bar into the other little bar area is where the “exit” door is needs to go. Numerous people walking through that when Covid is about seems rather unsafe to me.

Whilst I'm holiday we visited a couple of times, and were made so welcome. The log fire, good food and friendly welcome were a great antidote to the stormy weather outside.

Stopped off here today whilst on route from Gt Yarmouth to Norwich and tried the Sunday Lunch, its probably the best Sunday Lunch I have had for years, there was lots of meat and loads of vegetables, all of which was served piping hot and at a very reasonable price. We will definitely be visiting again for the Sunday Lunch.

Busy day walking and very tired. Travelled from gloucestershire. Needed some good quality food. These people did that perfect. Lovely food, lovely people, excellent service. Fantastic local produce!! Well done guys. Thank you. Xx

After seeing previous reviews when we moored at potter heigham decided to go to this pub and we're not disappointed. You well in to a warm bar with fire and there is a separate restaurant. We were shown to put table had drink orders taken and given menus and advised of specials board. Great choice of good on main menu and lots of specials too. Was a job choosing but we got our good ordered. All food we had was delicious and loads of it. Couldn't make room for dessert...next time! Prices very good too and good service and nice ambience. Highly recommend if You like traditional food well cooked.

great place to visit ,authentic village pub with great meals,we visit every time we holiday on the broads,its a short walk from potter heigham but well worth the visit

Just arrived in Potter Heigham for the weekend , looking quickly at the reviews for the local pubs we decided to try The Tailgate Inn. We arrived around 6.15 to be told they were fully booked even though there appeared to be nobody in the restaurant. It is obviously very popular to be fully booked on a Thursday evening at the end of September ! No suggestion was made that we may be able to eat in the bar area where there were also tables available or any alternative eating places suggested. Not a warm welcome out of season.My advice, phone first or if you want an evening where you feel your custom would be welcome, go elsewhere. Maybe we were just unlucky??

We arrived with our a booking as we were passing by. Great friendly staff and a great pub meal. We order steak and 2 gluten free fish and chips. Large serves and all really good meals..

My wife and I with our Labrador dog visited the Falgate Inn on a Wednesday lunch time after pulling into Potter Heigham having moored our boat by the bridge for an afternoon drink. The staff were very friendly and we sat in the beer garden. Whilst relaxing in the sunshine we looked at the evening menu which was very reasonably so we decided to come for our evening meal. I had rump steak and my wife choice broccoli and cheese back both were genuinely home cooked and delicious. It is well worth the walk up for excellent service and food. Well done Falgate Inn. Only tip for those staying on a boat take a touch

Visited during our boating holiday very pleasant staff and very comfortable surroundings reccomend a visit if you are in Potter Heighanm

On entering we received a very warm welcome . Ordered a Sunday roast and wow what a lovely meal. Excellent- plenty of veggies and meat . Plus an added bonus of proper Yorkshire pudding and homemade gravy - couldn’t of made any better myself . Definitely worth a return visit

What a lovely friendly pub even welcomed my dog in the bar area, nice selection of food on offer which tasted really great

This pub serves a great meal. All freshly cooked. It looks a bit tired from the outside but the food and service is so worth a visit.

It’s our first visit to the pub.When we entered the falgate a lady who we think it was the landlady was sat on a stool either was on her laptop or tablet it wasn’t a good image or welcoming and some locals at the bar. I asked her if they were serving food she said they couldn’t take food orderers until 6pm this was a Monday evening at 5.50pm the we went to sit down in the restaurant and we was the only ones there I ordered some drinks and asked for the menus her reply was I get them for you when I went back to the table and she gave the menus at the bar and then asked us will no politeness to move to a table of two people as we sat on a table of 4 people as they was only 2 of us no one else in the restaurant I thought her manners and customer service was very bad as she spoke to us to move tables as it takes to much more cleaning then I felt like walking out at this point and then she said it was her night and hopefully the waitress will turn up at 6pm to take our food order the lad who took our food order at 6pm was very polite and had excellent customer service we had moved back to the table for 4 people. The food was good and it was a good price. The lady she was very rude to us.

Whilst sailing on the Norfolk Broads we stopped at Potter Heigham and stumbled across this lovely pub. The landlady was so welcoming and helpful and the food was excellent. We all had something different and all enjoyed their meals. My steak and ale pudding was fantastic. The boys were able to play darts and we all had a lovely evening. Can definitely recommend and will return soon

A great welcome and good food. Went back the following night. Different staff and not quite as good.

Called in for a pint and lunch. The pub was empty so we asked if they were doing food. As our enquiry was ignored we decided just to have a pint. Seemed a bit odd not to bother selling food. Perhaps they were having an off day but it didn’t sell Norfolk hospitality to us at all.
