Lion at Thurne in Great Yarmouth

Lovely pub. Good beer, good food and excellent staff. Very handy moorings too.

Great food friendly staff very good value.

The food was delicious and the portions generous. Good service in nice setting.

Stopped here for a few drinks on our boating holiday Great place

Decent food at a reasonable price. Pub interior is lovely but the garden needs a bit of attention. A lovely spot to stop off at during a dog walk.

Great food and drink, nice garden too. The perfect place for a sunny afternoon.

Omg what a great find, food was absolutely amazing , staff very polite and nice and went the extrs mile thank u food exceptional

Good to see this open again. Great / fun idea to have greenhouses in outside space to shelter from Norfolk wind! Great selection of beers, cask& keg

There were plenty of friendly helpful staff and we were served really quickly. We both really enjoyed our starters. My chicken strips were really big and juicy and reminded me of what the Hermy chicken used to be like at the Hermitage in Acle.

Really good experience. Interesting gins and ciders, good food. Dog friendly!

Child dessert arrived before main meal and got told by waitress that's just the way it is, food quality has gone down been come for several weeks and has gone down hill

A lovely spot for lunch. The selection of drinks on tap was a notable highlight. The staff are very friendly too.

Food was excellent, nice atmosphere, a place we always stop at for a meal when on The Broads

Visited while boating on the broads, beautiful food, sat I the garden as we had our dog with us.

Moored up and paid in the pub for the night. 24hr toilets next door is always a plus, and it's gorgeously situated right on the river. Their selection of ales and ciders is absolutely brilliant and we were totally spoiled for choice here! Highly recommend a visit.

Lovely location with very welcoming staff, some great beers and the big daddy burger was amazing,

Nice pub, mostly used by boating people off the broads. Fish and chips are excellent, as are the pizzas. I ordered a sausage for my dog but when it came it was uncooked straight from the fridge! Luckily I managed to grab it from him before he ate it. Would have given 5 stars except for the sausage incident.

Service and food has suffered since last year

Excellent pub with great food and service (and a whole lot of moorings for your boat).

Great place to enjoy the Norfolk summer by the river.

Great pub with a nice range of food, drinks, and caters really well for allergens too (coeliac friendly for my wife!). Also, if you accidentally leave your sunglasses behind on your table on the last night of your holiday, and then drive 200 miles home, they will very nicely - and with a great deal of bubble-wrap - post them back to you. Thanks for a great meal and being lovely people :)

Went during the day for a lunch just off the river. Not a long menu but really nice food. Good sized outside area. The beer was good too. Can't go wrong

Great food in a lovely location. An easy walk from the 24hr mooring at Boundary Farm.

Loved it, great food,great service all very nice

Good beer well kept (and lots of variety), copious food (decent pub grub). Looks recently refurbished. Our serving of whitebait for a "nibble" would have done main course for two. Fried chicken was tasty. Pizza toppings good though base a little so so. Recommended. Might want to park at the head of the dyke, not much from for manoeuvring a large bot.

Great drinks stop on our day out on the Norfolk Broads. Very easy to moor the boat on the Thurne inlet.

Good pub, great beer selection. Have a dog and non section in the restaurant. Small bar area if you just want to sit in a pub. Mooring cost payable to pub regardless whether you eat / drink there or not.

Excellent food and friendly service will definitely be returning

Great pub with a decent beer garden

Fabulous food and staff great prices

Nice pub with a good beer garden and an excellent selection of beers. Food is good, pizza is not so good but really good service and the atmosphere.

Good range of beers and ciders, dog friendly with a designated area both in the bar and restaurant. Food was enjoyable loved the hog pizza! but sadly the service was disappointing, we hardly saw the staff, we had to go looking or shout up when we wanted to order food or drinks.

Impressive menu. Very large portions. Cosy pub. Helpful staff.

Came to watch the England game here and the set up was great. Staff really friendly and helpful. Food was great. We had the loaded fries which were massive so me and my husband shared. Lovely pub!

Didn't eat here only drinks, attended a party. Great night great atmosphere and lovely location

Absolutely great food with a top range of beers on tap, tucked away in a little village on the Broads... What more could you want?

Amazing experience here!! Bar staff were lovely and the food was amazing! I am a vegetarian and the food was lovely and the chunky chips were just 😍... Would deffo recommend this place, peaceful setting and just made you feel very relaxed xxx

Great little pub, quality food, all fresh and generous portions. Great atmosphere. Dog friendly. Very helpful bar staff. Try their own brand pe&co vodka.

Very pleasant pub, lovely outdoor space. Dog friendly. Surprisingly tasty vegan options.

Popped in randomly on offchance as was passing and peckish and will definitely be back. Food was great pub grub, decent portions and price and all 4 dishes our group had were lush. Lots of beer/ale/cider/spirits to choose from, something for everyone for sure. Nice atmosphere and lots of space. Service was great, very quick and pleasant and friendly staff. Great find and we'll definitely be back.

Right at the edge of the beautiful Thurne staithe. Large open dining area inside and loads of tables outside and even has greenhouse tables too. Great professional friendly service. Loads of car parking. I'll definitely visit again. Thank you

Thurne Dyke itself is lovely, one of our favourite spots on the broads. The food and service have greatly improved since our last visit. They couldn't do enough for you, offering the dog treats. The food choice was amazing and plenty of choice, we will be back next year.

Lovely place, helpful staff, even the chef came out to see to my partners needs. She's NBM, and getting over throat cancer, and has a peg (food tube). She was able to eat with us after having her food blended for the tube. People that go that extra mile, needs to be appreciated. For four people, you are looking at around £20 per head

We cannot thank the staff more here for being so accommodating. We arrived 8 people and 5 dogs with no reservation and they managed to feed and water all of us very comfortably and quickly. We pla to return and book in advance

Stopped over night on the broads and headed for a bite to eat and sample some of the pubs ciders .great service and excellent food and plenty of different ciders to choose from

Lovely food as usual. Staff are always friendly and welcoming

Happy friendly staff and tasty food, quick service, will be back for more 👍😁

Lovely pub in tiny village Thurne on Broads. Had lunch in pub garden with family, it was great

Lovely broads pub in a great location. Good food at reasonable prices. Can get very busy though!

Friendly staff good food good selection beer's

Nice pub , great food and very friendly staff. I would recommend it for a nice evening out.

Did not eat this time but funny when my naughty dog escaped and went into pub bar

Ignore their food service hours stated on the website. On Friday they stopped an hour before it said they did. And Sunday the same. Nice enough pub though just slow service.

We come here every-time we visit the broads, friendly staff, plenty of selection when it comes to food and drink. I usually get a pizza which is lovely. Dog friendly too!

Tucked away in a beautiful part of Norfolk. What a Gem. This is how a pub should be Run. Others should take note.

Popped in to the Lion Inn yesterday on a walk as was told it served a few ales. Wasn't disappointed, at least 15 ales/beers and plenty of gin for my girlfriend to try too. A quick pint turned into near four hours of drinking and got a cheeky roast dinner too, which was really nice. Staff were really friendly, and the place was quite popular with a constant flow of people popping in. Will pop in again, may be for the beer festival, end of month 😎

Great pub that accommodated 20 hungry rugby players on tour and their parents with ease. Friendly and fast service from start to finish. See you again soon

The pub is a great destination lovely choice of beers and very welcoming staff. So we were sadly disapointed with the food or rather our choices didn't live up to expectations. The pie pastry was dry and hard maybe cooked too long? The special pulled pork pizzas were far from special looked like mass pruduced bought in products containing the tiniest amount of pulled pork which may have been just as well as the pork had clearly been raised on fish meal which you could taste in the meat. Like I said the pub and staff were all lovely maybe we chose badly maybe the chef was off that day but we had a disapointing meal and would not make us want to rush back.

Brilliant Sunday lunch sat in the sun ☺️ Warm friendly atmosphere and easy access from the water. Lots of tasty veggie/vegan options. The owners are clearly working really hard to make this a fantastic pub and it really shows ☺️

Didn't eat as the place was too full. Was told the food was good though and looked tasty.

Once again, we had a lovely meal. The staff are very down to earth. It's one of my favourite places on the broads

We got take away meals on a busy Saturday afternoon and they were amazing! We ordered fish&chips and chicken and bacon loaded fries. The portion sizes are brilliant and they offer value for money. I live an hour and a half away but already wondering what I'm going to try next 😊

Fantastic pub located with moorings on the broads. Easily accessible by road. Fantastic pub, great food, great beer and great service. This pub is a real ale lovers paradise! Pubs this for are very few and far between, use it or lose it folks! Highly recommended.

Handy if mooring in the dyke, only a short stroll, but take a torch!We only had chips, but they were great, a good selection of beers as well. Dog friendly

We stopped here for a roast dinner, absolutely amazing

Amazing food! The whole experience from start to finish is always great, the staff are always so friendly and kind. The menu and food couldn't be any better and the prices are fair . We always love visiting The Lion at Thurne .

My wife and I visited whilst on a boating holiday with our dog. This is a dog friendly pub. A good selection of beers and as they had their Oktoberfest happening there were guest German beers as well. Initially I popped up in the afternoon when we moored for a pint and had this in the garden, later we ate in the restaurant area. Nice place.

Lovely cosy, welcoming pub. Nice coffee & delicious salted caramel cake! Just what was needed after a walk around the mill. Great staff and plenty of parking. Definitely worth a visit 👍

Now part of the same group that owns the White Horse at Neatishead, the Lion has improved immeasurably. For a coeliac there are a few gluten free cask beers and gluten free options on the menu including gluten free fish and chips. Good news all round.

Sadly the new trendy way of presenting a roast dinner is creating a problem for the plated food. Piled beef and Yorkshire pudding soak roast potatoes to be soft. Our food was luke warm at best and the whitebait starters were just mush. They should be crisp and individual instead of a soggy mass. Prices of food and drink were okay but not value for money at 40.00 per head. Such a waste of a beautiful setting and building, this time.

Great dining experience meal was delicious.

They squeezed us in when their restaurant was closing in 2 minutes (we didn't realise they did food until too late), so excellent friendly staff that are so accommodating. The portions are very generous, we had a lot of food and it was incredibly filling. Very good to go to if you're boating on the Norfolk Broads as they have a mooring place which is free from 10am to 4pm, mooring after that only costs £7.50 which is fair considering you get to stay overnight.

Visited for a drink one afternoon whilst exploring the area. Liked what we saw so came back for a meal later the same day. Really pleased we stumbled on this pub. Had a thoroughly delicious meal. Both of us had the crevettes to start. I had steak and ale pie to follow whilst my wife had the sea bass. Everything was tasty and cooked well, all of the staff we met were friendly and overall we found it a very enjoyable, great value meal. Will visit again.

What a fantastic pub/restaurant on The Broads. The food was of a high standard with very substantial portions. Friendly staff. Lovely local ales ...so good we drove here, walked here and paddled here in kayaks during our short break away.

Fantastic service and amazing food! Big portions so no room for pudding

Great food Great service! Food coma!

Great service from Erin to find us a table with no notice. Food was excellent. Highly recommended.

Came in for a drink and a meal having not booked in advance. The three young women working were friendly and helpful and a credit to the pub. Food was really nice. Sea bass and the home-made meat pie was lovely. Thank you very much

We found this pub yesterday on the way back from potter. We both had the top cat bitter it was delicious . We'll be back soon to try the sausage n mash on the menu.

We were in for early doors Monday, night. Extensive choice of ales ciders beers etc and more gins than I have ever seen i one place before. Very prompt service and generous potions of tasty food. As well as the gastropub food and specials they had a pizza menu.

Good quality food, friendly staff, dog friendly too :-)

Amazing food super tasty and very welcoming to our dog.

A genuine terrific pub in middle of nowhere near broads , lovely area. Food is amazing beer very good. Lots of choices reasonable prices win win.

Just called in for a beer, really friendly service 👍🏽

We would definitely recommend this pub restaurant. Staff were very pleasant. Setting was lovely. We booked for 5 people for 1.30pm on a Sunday late September and were seated inside. It wasn’t too busy which was nice as we could have conversations without having to shout over others voices. The food was quick and well prepared and presented. Great beer too! We would definitely recommend.

Good service, food OK. Good moorings nearby, so fine for a stop for a meal if you are boating.

Took my mum out for some dinner yesterday and got told that we can only have pizza because full meals don’t get served until 5… we was there at 4pm and about 15-20 minutes later some family walked in and was ordering proper meals where we was only allowed pizza…very unprofessional and wouldn’t ever go again.

Lovely food, best pub food we’ve had in a long time. My only minor criticism is the starter was too big, I had halloumi sticks and I’d still pay same price for half the portion. Other than that, everything perfect

Friendly atmosphere. We had a couple of drinks and ordered a takeaway. The food was excellent, very good value for money.

Stumbled on this pub by chance, lovely selection of ales and ciders, trust me on the the ciders, forgot where I parked the boat. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the products, good experience.

Wow! Can't believe how quick they were at serving us! We ordered at 12:15 and 45 minutes later, we'd finished. There were only two of us, plus the dog, but we had 2 courses and drinks. I had the Dressed crab salad with new potatoes and garlic butter - delicious. Good choice for gluten free 😊

Popped in while out on the Broads in a boat, the food was great. It's a short walk from the moorings but we'll with the effort

Pretty good, menu basic, however, daily specials available. Good selection of ales and lagers. Service very good, lovely beer garden with pods...

Overrated and over priced. Happy to keep fleecing the tourist . Easy come , easy go attitude.

Always stop for a meal here, when close by on the River good moorings. Food very good and always busy.

Fairly rural especially if travelling by car down single track lanes. But very popular with boat travellers on the Broads. Great selection of beers and ales, many of which are brewed in house. Very spacious inside and pleasantly decorated. Nicely prepared food. Dog friendly.

Lovely food, my son in law loved his gammon meal, the pork and apple burger was very good and the pizza was great too. We come here every time we come to the broads and it hasn't disappointed yet. The grandchildren love the playground next door after being on the boat for quite a while. The helper waitress even came up with a sharpener for my granddaughter's pencils, so sweet.

Brilliant pub, with a great selection of beers. Bar staff all really nice and friendly, lots of banter etc! My friend who lives nearby says the food is great too, though I haven't eaten here yet.

Wonderful atmosphere, friendly staff, great choice of food.

Visited on Wednesday 23rd August 2022. Had a pizza and some chips. They were nice. Service was fast. Very helpful staff. We sat in the garden. It was lovely. Will definitely visit again on our next boat trip / motorbike trip.
