We recently hosted our son’s christening in the orb and sceptre! And it was an amazing experience and service. Sam and her team went above and beyond to help us. Nothing was too big! I would highly recommend and will be using them again in the future for gatherings/parties. Thank you again to the team at the Orb & Sceptre

The pub itself is a nice clean and pleasant place. We went in for some food on a lunch time. However the only food available was pizza. The pizza was nice, we enjoyed it but not what we were actually looking for. But we thought that as we were there and couldn't be bothered to look for somewhere else it'll do. Staff were friendly, the prices were fair.

Lovely local pub. Staff always friendly and take the time to get to know you. Drinks always on point. Food....only does pizza but it is great pizza, and for a busy bar is the perfect choice to eat with your drink and share with friends. Regular events quizzes,disco, live music, older persons companion afternoons, sports. The orb has become the place to go for live sports events, after work drinks, and pre clubbing at the weekend. It is the type of place that has something for everyone at different times and days. Fabulous beer garden that is kept neat and clean despite people's inability to keep thier beer in thier glasses. As a regular I have very few quibbles and if I do I talk to the staff who deal with any issues I may have quickly and efficiently.

More of a bar than a pub, if you like dj music perhaps its your place, if you like a quiet pint not so much.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to the team at the orb that served myself, and my family during my daughters first birthday party. I booked this a couple of months in advance and Sam called a day before just to double check we were still going ahead (which was fab as I forgot to double check). Our party had use of the snug, it definitely felt private which was perfect, and it was lovely and warm. The table and chairs were all set out, we also had a barrier put up to section the snug off which was lovely. The staff were really friendly, and welcoming. Came through often to ask if we needed anything or to take the glasses away. We were able to set the party up as soon as they opened which was a few hours before the party had started. We were able to provide our own buffet etc. So I would just like to say thank you again for making the setting for our daughters first birthday relaxed and enjoyable.

What a fantastic lovely pub, probably the No1 pub in Kings Lynn. This pub has something for everyone, a fantastic beer garden, great pool and darts area and if you fancy just to chill and chat then the main bar area is the place to be. Bar team are very professional and friendly which is a credit to the landlady who makes sure everyone is welcome in a friendly manner, disco and live music at the weekend and a quiz night on Monday are added bonus. I been several times now and it's always a great night Almost forgot to say they also do fantastic pizza's too.

Visited here Saturday lunchtime with my husband. First visit since it reopened and wasn't disappointed. The young lady behind the bar was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable and was engaging with customers throughout her visit. My husband had the vegan burger and chips and he said they were the best chips he had ever had. His only grumble was that he wanted more ( but he does have hollow legs! ). The pub was clean and bright and it was a nice atmosphere to spend a couple of hours. Will definitely be back.

Such a welcome change to Kings Lynn. This pub offers everything from food, drink and entertainment to a super chilled beer garden perfect for my little ones and my dog. Lynn has been missing somewhere that offers everything but here it is. Been visiting regularly and yet to have a complaint about the food or service ... the staff are incredibly intentive and nothing appears to be too much and the decor is stylish and trendy. Thank you for giving myself and my family a place to enjoy whatever the weather ... look forward to visiting you all again soon.

First visit to the pub, it was recommended by family who had previously been for Sunday lunch and said it was well worth the visit. One of the things I miss most being away from the UK for long periods of time is a Sunday lunch, we were not disappointed. The food was very good, my husband loved the roast dinner and said we have to come back. The staff were very welcoming and attentive. Looking forward to our next visit.

My sister had a complicated order where she preferred just garlic bread with her mac and cheese rather than salad & they gladly made it happen and even gave her extra garlic bread too. The mac and cheese was to die for also. Everyone had a wonderful evening here, very cozy and very good food. Thank you. ❤️

Visited this restaurant as it offered gluten free breakfasts. I am a coeliac so have to avoid gluten which is found in wheat, oats, barley and rye. All coeliacs know what happens when you eat gluten so I will spare readers the details suffice to say it is akin to food poisoning. After I left the restaurant I was unwell. When I contacted the restaurant later they insisted their products were gluten free and fell back on the old excuse that they do their best to avoid cross contamination but cannot guarantee it. They obviously did not take my complaint that I had been either served gluten or been given a dose of food poisoning when they glibly hoped that it would not deter me from calling again. I think that indicated to me the care taken to avoid this kind of situation. So for all you fellow coeliacs out there - just be aware.
