Queen of Hearts in Broadland

So good we went twice! Stayed just down the road and had heard about the pies - they did not disappoint!!! The pub was friendly and welcoming with great food, dog friendly too. Definitely recommend if you're in the area.

We have been here several times for dinner and have never been let down. Today we both had Steak & Kidney Puddings, one with Mash, the other with Chips, both were excellent. We alos love the atmosphere at this location and the food options and specials seem endless. Real Food, all Homemade to perfection!

Trully fantastic! Good old fashioned pub food, combined together with a bespoke menu, all at a very reasonable cost. Really helpful and accommodating (Family Party of 10) in a great atmosphere. We will definitely go out of our way to visit again!

We were travelling between Sandringham and Norwich and needed food. We stopped here and looked at Trip Advisor reviews. They were good so in we go. The extremely friendly and welcoming landlord/owner made us very welcome and informed us only roasts were on offer. We opted for a beef and a pork roast. What a massive helping. Great pub food. Loads of vegetables and meat nicely cooked and presented. Well worth dropping in.👍

I came to Norfolk on a family holiday and the Queen Of Hearts was the local pub and it did not disappoint. Staff I could not be more friendly , environment and atmosphere could not be better. Cheap prices with amazing food and drinks.

Amazing! Super friendly staff, friendly customers, friendly cook and amazing food! We came here for on sunday and the cook accommodated all of our special requests for the food which was highly appreciated and the food was amazing. Only request next time would be more roast potatoes because they were amazing 🥰 The staff were extremely friendly and very welcoming. We had a lovely night here and I would highly recommend. Thank you to all the staff for making the evening enjoyable.

Disappointed with food. Was promised an amazing dining experience but it didn't deliver. Hosts were very nice but the food was very bland. Large quantity but would prefer smaller plate and more flavour.

Brilliant! A proper pub like they used to be. Can’t fault it for service, range and quality of the food.

We came across this wonderful pub because the main road was congested and thank the gods we did. The large steak and ale pie was delicious and packed full of steak,my wife had the scampi which was ok but get on them pies,you won't be disappointed. Barry and Karon.

Sunday lunch was a proper Sunday lunch absolutely superb. Service was great and so were the puddings a very nice experience Thank you

Stopped off here by chance after a day trip. A warm welcome was given to our small family, and staff were so helpful when ordering our food and drinks. Food (especially my Lamb and Mint Pie) was delicious. Special mention to the excellent cider! We loved your pub and wish you all the success.

Where looking for somewhere to stop off and eat on our way back from Fakenham,being lunch time.Landlady was very welcoming,it wasn,t to busy two friends waiting for their food,with a little one.Family enjoying their meal in the glorious sunshine. My partner ordered the pie,which he commented the best pie ever full of meat.My favourite Lasagne which was very filling. Queen of Hearts is a good traditional English public house ,serving good traditional English food.There is also a specials board. Like most traditional pubs it could do with a fresh coat of paint Possibly some new furniture.(Sorry Landlady) I know these things take lots of time and money. Great pub,filling food,lovely people.

I was on a hiking trip with a friend and we stopped here for the evening and overnight. Pleasantly surprised at the overnight accomodation and the quality of the evening food. Good choice of hearty home cooked quality pub food prepared by the very welcoming landlord

Read the reviews so booked a table as here on holiday Cheryl landlady very friendly big portions pies very good & roast dinner try the trifle too reasonably priced aswell

Stopped in for a bite to eat of the way past with my partner and mother in law, to be told no tables available when on a glance around there was 3 tables which would cater us spare. Didn't show any interest in catering for us. And just gave us dirty looks. Wouldn't advise stopping by

lovely plated Sunday roast, good portions and very good price for the area! very friendly staff, family run pub.

Lovely welcome and fab menu loads of choices and good kids menu. Went for suet pudding lunch! Highly recommended. Thanks

We were staying nearby and decided to stop at this lovely pub for some lunch. The food was delicious! The owners were so friendly and welcoming. They were lovely! The atmosphere was warm and inviting. If we are ever back in the area we will definitely make sure we drop in again.

Fantastic evening. Extremely friendly staff ....we even had a sing a long. Best night that we have had for ages. Wish it was our local

Great service Brilliant meals. Staff are great friendly and welcoming. There is good selection of drinks. The pies are one of the best full of meat.

Just have a beautiful crab salad with New potatoes all freshly made, john had the best ever chicken and mushroom pie mash and peas, isaac had a large all day breakfast Just what we need after a long walk . Highly recommended the food and...

The visit started by being welcomed from the public side of the bar which was so lovely. We arrived near the 2.30pm lunch close but were still welcomed in with a friendly face. Drinks order was taken swiftly but with no pressure. Menu choice was...

We are on holiday locally. We found the Queen of hearts on the second night, and have eaten here for the next 3 nights evening meals. All the food has been spot on. The staff are super friendly and welcoming. The other customers , locals...

We have recently moved into the village and have made 2 visits already! Lovely roast dinners on both occasions. Can't wait to come back with my brother to try the steak and kidney pudding!

We received a really warm welcome from both the staff and the locals when we visited. It's almost worth visiting just for the Bellhaven Black stout, but it would be a shame to miss out on the pies which are really good value and delicious....

We visited for lunch. Staff were very friendly welcoming. The food was very good value for money. My wife’s steak was excellent and as for the steak and ale pie, best in Norfolk!!! Full of meat not full of gravy! Honestly if you love pies...

The pub caught our eye because of its fabulous flower displays and plentiful outdoor seating. There are even a couple of tables under shelter in an alcove on the building. [Please don’t be put off by the busy road]. So we called in for breakfast...

My husband and I booked a table for Sunday lunch on the 24th Oct. What a good choice... Super friendly welcome and amazing, piping hot food. We'll be back!!

On way home from coast popped in for cuppa .Greeted by a friendly lady and were quickly served. The meals looked lovely so will be back to try some.

Came across this pub as it was near our holiday let. What a find! A great welcome awaited us - as well as great food. Quite late on a Sunday but a full roast was still available - delicious and piping hot. A lovely home...

Such a warm welcome from the owners of this little gem of a pub. The Queen of Hearts provided a great place to spend the evening over excellent food all home made and excellent surroundings. The owners were truly delightful and so welcoming. Highly recommended....

Would highly recommend the queen of hearts. Superb food, superb hospitality go in as strangers come out as friends. Ian, cheryl and Michelle are always lovely and welcoming nothing is too much trouble.

Took a Walk out from the cottage with the dog along Marriotts way, Good food and beer very friendly, dog friendly.

As we were staying just down the road at a glamping site, the Queen Of Hearts looked appealing to us, especially as it was dog friendly. As soon as we walked in we were warmly welcomed and we knew we had made the right decision....

Blown away by the quality of the food. Every meal that was brought out looked top quality. We had the pie. The humble pie has been elevated to a new level of amazing. Stuffed full of top quality steak that was tasty and tender. Throw in a choice of draught ales, a cheeky little mango cider and awesome coffee then you have the recipe for a great evening. The hosts are friendly and genuine. Our first ‘date night’ since lockdown was wonderful thanks to The Queen of Hearts.

A recommendation from a friend sent us to this great little local. Very reasonably priced tasty proper English pub food. We entered into a friendly atmosphere where we were greeted heartily. Marc had a steak and kidney pud and I had a lamb and mint pie. Not only was the service quick and the atmosphere cordial but the food was inexpensive and delish. Didn't have time to peruse the puddings, although they sounded inviting, Will definitely be going back

Homemade pies that are full to captivity as good as your grandma used to make. Definitely worth the visit. Also the best Cider I’ve ever tasted. Superb service and food you’ve got to go for yourself.

Found this pub by chance,bloody lovely full English clean plates all round,landlady couldn’t do enough for us,will definitely be back for another meal.

The food was amazing the best breakfast we’ve had since being here on our holiday to Great Yarmouth, very attentive and nothing to much trouble. Perfect size breakfast 😍 Thank you for a lovely service

Popped in on our way back from Roarr, after spotting the lovely looking pub on our way in. Great food was enjoyed by all, lovely burger, chicken goujons, and a nice kids menu as well. All topped off with a lovely cold Estrella! Thank you!

The best pub is Norfolk, highly recommend! Great, fresh and delicious food! Quick and amazing service!

Fabulous food, great value, friendly service, can't fault this pub. Look forward to eating inside again, but the takeaway service is really good, we called up to order a bacon burger n chips one day and a roast for Sunday. Both meals were lovely. Would highly recommend, especially if you are staying locally as we were for the weekend.

Once again we visited the Queen of Hearts for a quick evening meal, the service was great as it always if and the food was 1st class.

Wow what an amazing place to eat have a drink etc. I had a roast Sunday just gone with my kids.... it was the best home cooked Sunday roast I have ever had and I’m fussy believe me. The staff are so friendly and kind. Please visit you won’t be disappointed trust me!!! X

This pub is well worth a visit. There are lovely flowers and hanging baskets outside. Inside you will find a relaxing, friendly atmosphere, great food at reasonable prices and a good range of beers , lagers and ciders including Mango cider from Lilleys in Somerset.( worth a visit for this alone!)

Great food, reasonably priced, very friendly staff, covid compliant. We had a couple of meals here during our stay last weekend. Would recommend it. Lovely sunday roast.

Called in yesterday for lunch. We were very impressed by how Covid secure the place was. Felt very safe, and the food was as good as ever. So pleased that the place has survived, and will be sure to resume our weekly visits.

my better half and I just happened to be in the area and wanted to stop off somewhere for a bite to eat. We were not disappointed. We were greated with a friendly smile and food was ordered and delivered promptly. The food was delicious! We had a sharing platter for 2 and sticky toffee pudding. The chef Michelle was incredibly helpful and the price you pay reflects on the food. If we are in the area again we shall come back. Highly recommendedable :)

First impressions were a small local pub from outside, welcomed the minute we approached the door which made us feel very welcome (some places you just feel awkward!!) sanitizer available as you come in, some use of masks. Drinks served swiftly as we sat at table and when we received bill we were very pleased how cheap they were, only £3.80 a pint of lager and my OJ and bitter lemon also reasonable ❤️. Having read the reviews just had to try the pie (wasn’t on menu but offered on ordering, not sure why?)in fact all 3 of us did they were so delish I had lamb and mint with mash, hubby had steak and son had chicken and mushroom with chips. The chips were crispy and peas were only veg with them, can’t remember if there were any other veg on offer for extra, I would of liked one more veg on plate and would add more colour but hubby wouldn’t My sons pie didn’t have gravy inside so a little dry for him but that was no trouble because the lady soon brought a free jug of gravy to him when asked I couldn’t finish mine as was so full (1lb of meat in each pie!!!) glad I didn’t have a starter and unfortunately couldn’t fit in a pud son left some but still had a pud he opted for apple pie which came swimming in custard and he said was ok. If you want a good old home cooked pub meal and like to support small businesses come here as you won’t be disappointed, we will be back, well done for reopening in these difficult times

Brilliant to see this pub back after lockdown and particularly good to have a spontaneous takeaway lamb and mint pie. Unbelievably good food and lovely fresh beer

Been here for a really nice Roast diner after a long walk around Lenwade. Very nice food, friendly staff and fair price. Totally recommend!

Called in for a Roast and were not disappointed. staff were attentive and happy to see us. Loved the home cooked roast big yorkshire puddings.. ..... still left enough room for pudding. A great stop off we will pop in again

On the drive back towards Norwich from Guist/Wood Norton we wanted a pub lunch. The Queen of Hearts was the first stop on the way so stop we did.Firstly, the staff we very welcoming which really set the mood. Too many times pubs like this in small villages give you a weird look when you walk in... but not here. Our patronage felt valued and it was very well received.We had fish fingers with chips for the little one... who after letting it cool down inhaled her food. Also on order was the Queens Club Sandwich, basically a BLT with shredded cheddar. Tasty enough and exactly as to be expected. Lastly, the star of the show... a steak and ale pie. Was very chuffed to see it was a proper pie with wonderful pastry and chock full of steak. We commented we probably could have split it between the two of us. I’d go back for the pie alone... working through trying each variation.Drinks wise, pretty standard selection you’d see in a pub... though the Belhaven Black on draft was a pleasant surprise.As mentioned already, but deserved repeating, the staff were sooo welcoming and friendly. Even the local regulars that came in took the time to say hello and be friendly towards our daughter. Wonderful little area there in Lenwade.Whole heartedly would recommend a stop if you’re coming or going and want a friendly visit with decent food.

The owners are very welcoming and friendly, the pub was also dog friendly which was great! The owner recommended Lilly's cider which I highly recommend too, it is absolutely delicious! We ordered dinner, the owner recommended the pie which seem very popular on trip adviser and I see why!! Honestly the best pie we've ever eaten. We all agreed had the pub been open for food 7 days a week we probably would of been back every night for one, however we had to settle for just two visits during our holiday.Really cant recommend it enough. Thankyou

This establishment on the main road from Norwich to Fakenham in Lenwade has been a cafe restaurant for as long as I can remember and was previously called Maxims and changed ownership a couple of years ago and I had not called in as it appeared from what was advertised outside had rebranded itself as a pub restaurant and Lenwade was already well served by a local Pub The Bridge Inn. On looking through Trip Advisor myself I noticed The Queen of Hearts was specialising in homemade pies and as a big fan of proper pies I decided recently on a Saturday lunchtime on the way back from Norwich to pop in with my wife for a pie. It was past the witching hour of 1 pm and it was quiet with only two other people dining however we received a warm welcome from the lady in charge. We picked a table in the back of the restaurant against the wall back from the bar area. The floor furniture and walls were all dark coloured and hence the whole ambiance was a little dull. As the basic layout and decoration was as I remembered it I feel a complete redecoration would probably increase patronage. We ordered some drinks and looked through the menu most of the usual pub favourites were on offer liver and bacon, hot pot and a formidable list of homemade pies each containing a pound of meat. My wife not being a huge eater and not a crust lover ordered the hot pot a good mixture of meat and vegetables when it was presented with crusty bread still a wholesome meal. I picked the steak pie it came with a generous amount of gravy green vegetables and mash potatoes. It was a round proper pie three inches tall with crust all around the delicious tasty steak and ale filling. Certainly a generous pound of meat everything I had hoped. The pastry was shortcrust and my only suggestion that might have added something to this pie was for the pastry to have been cooked a little more to make it even firmer but that’s a personal choice. For around ten pounds each I can not praise the meals too highly for quantity price and presentation my wife felt the meat in her hot pot could have been cooked slightly longer to have tenderised it a little more again this is probably a personal thing but I mention it as it may be helpful. Overall a pie experience to savour. If you enjoy a filling surrounded by pastry an excellent variety of these proper pies are on offer at the Queen of Hearts.

Visited in a party of 7 at a busy lunchtime. The welcome was warm, the attention to our needs was faultless and friendly, and our food came out in timely fashion. My pie was lovely, well put together and tasty, and with the chips meant that you needed a good appetite to clear the plate (which we did!). We'll be back soon.

My first visit but my family have been many tkmes including xmas day. Everything i have been told was true. Food was lovely home cooked and a good portion. The hospitaltity is as though you had visited a close friend for dinner, they could not do enough to make your visit a pleasure. Cant wait to make time to try out the curry night on a Wednesday evening.

Wow you will not be disappointed here. The food is home made with love and tastes amazing. You will be made to feel welcome the second you walk through the door with fantastic service from the owners. I cannot rate this place highly enough, we’ve had a great night with excellent food and company, thank you.

We visited whilst staying 2 nights at the Lenwade House Hotel.Having eaten in the hotel on night 1 as it rained we decided to go here for night 2, just a 10 minutes walk from the hotel. As soon as we arrived we were made most welcome by the owners. I had a local beer (2 in the end) and my wife white wine. I chose to have a steak and kidney pie and my wife lamb shank. It was a proper pie with a bottom, top and sides! I'm not saying it is the best pie I have ever had but I can't remember ever having a better one. I chose to have it with chips and peas. There were several other pie choices. My wife thoroughly enjoyed the lamb which came with mashed potatoes and green beans. Both courses were so filling we had to share a bread and butter pudding. All in all an excellent meal and somewhere I'd heartily recommend. Well done.

Popped in for the pensioner special menu. Freshly cooked and good helpings. £8.95 for 2 courses. I had scampi & chips & salad, followed by apple crumble and custard.

Not sure I've ever had such a warm welcome in a pub. What lovely hosts, really keen to ensure you enjoy your meal, which we did very much. On our way back from Fakenham into the city, we decided to stop here having read their trip advisor reviews about the pies. Well they didn't disappoint, clean plates all round although we were so full we could've done with a post pie snooze before heading home! Recommend not eating for a week before you go, portions are very generous. Excellent value for money. Good traditional menu. This place really deserves to do well, the love they put into making sure their customers have a great time really shines through and is something you rarely see.

We called in here today on the way back from Norwich and decided to stop for lunch.

We have visited this pub several times when visiting the area or passing through. A great pub with lovely food, very reasonably priced and filling. Very friendly staff who make you feel welcome. Will be back again soon.

went here last night and had pie, the pie was enormous and full of meat not your usual rubbish of pastry air and gravy, the pie was lovely and if i lived locally i would be a regular customer, excellent selection of other dishes also good selection of beers and cider, very friendly hosts and waitress, if your in the area give it a go you won't be disappointed

We were eager to try this while staying in the area given the reviews - however they have recently lost their chef and although you get the feeling that they want to do the best they can - I don't feel that the food hit the mark. It is a very basic pub menu (although the pies might have been brilliant) and not terribly well done.

What a pleasant surprise this place is! Friendly welcome and remarkably good homemade food including the incredibly good steak and ale pie. Will definitely return.

called in on the off chance of getting some sort of snack around 3.15 in the afternoon. Offered an all day menu and choose 2 full english (a good plateful) and a bacon and egg roll. price of food included tea or coffee. Excellent service, friendly staff and more than happy to serve us. Reasonably priced as well.

This is an excellent place to stop on the side of the road for really good value food and drink. If early have the breakfast. Later on great home cooked food, decent ales and great host.

Your experience starts from the moment you walk in the door .You receive a friendly and warm welcome from Ian and Cheryl.The menu is extensive and has something to suit everybody.The food is excellent and home cooked to order.The ambience of the restaurant is warm and cosy.My family and I have celebrated many occasions here.Each one being most satisfactory.

Called in here as interested to see what it was like. Called for a coffee and ended up having a full breakfast and it was one of the best I'd had in a while. I will definitely return to try the rest of the menu.

Excellent piping hot food. Well kept yet cheap beers. The Belhaven Black and Lilley's Mango Cider were to die for. Can't wait to go back for seconds. The customer service was olde English traditional. Polite, amusing, intelligent. Lovely people. Motorbike friendly....what more could anyone want?

This restaurant is highly recommend by my whole family- all 18 of us! We go here for every family function and they accommodate us so well! The food is absolutely delicious and the owners are just so lovely! Home cooked pub food at amazing prices this is the place to go!

This is the second time we have visited for a meal. In brief, good value food, generous portions, nice real ale selection, an extremely friendly welcome and inviting wood burner.

Haven't been in a few months but came in tonight with my partner and our children. The food was still amazing thank you Faye Goldsmith and the service was outstanding from Cheryl and ian. Will be back more in 2019

We have eaten here,several times in 2018,as well as pop in for a drink,especially on a summer evening.So we decided to book for Christmas day,and bring the family.

Friendly welcome, went with partner and made to feel very welcome. Cracking place, only downside having to go outside to get to gents toilet

3 day fishing trip made all the better by the welcome at this pub great food and beer looking forward to next visit end off Jan..... Mick. steve Walt and dave

We were recommended by friends so decided to stop by on the off chance for midweek lunch, had a very warm welcome from landlord, a big variation of food was on offer, my wife had the liver and bacon, she said it was delicious, I had the steak and kidney pie, I was informed by the landlord it contained lb of meat, plus there was a good portion of kidney, have to say I did my best but unfortunately I couldn't clear my plate.

Stoped here for the first time eager to try somewhere different, in this area.

We have been to queens a few times now . Fishing in the area .always looking forward to getting back there . It's Ike home. From home , great food . Lots of it .and the locals are so friendly nothing is too much trouble

Visited here with my partner twice during our stay at Lenwade, once just for a drink, second time for some food. Both had a curry as was curry night. Food was amazing and great sized portions too. The landlord and landlady were very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend and also recommend the Mango cider

From the moment I first entered the pub I received a fantastic welcome from Ian and Cheryl.The food is classic pub grub,well cooked and presented and very importantly with a smile Great value food and drinks with lots of fascinating local tales to be heard. An absolute gem in these tough times for pubs.Steve

Wonderful people... the owners the chef and the locals.

Had a lovely meal not so long ago in here but this evening I opted for a lamb & mint pie with chips, gravy and peas. I kid you not the homemade pie was incredible, open it up and there’s a lb of meat inside. Unbelievably delicious and needless to say I could not eat the whole meal as I needed room for the rhubarb cider.

Ian (the landlord) and his staff go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. Just need to watch the portion sizes as they are huge!

I visited with my wife and daughter recently. We received a very warm welcome and loved the cozy environment.

We received a very friendly welcome and they quickly accommodated our party of six on a busy evening with no prior booking. The food was very good, each one of us ordered something different from different menus and all meals were fantastic and beautifully presented! Service very good. Shame we don't live nearer as we would definitely be regulars! Very highly recommended.

We had a great meal in the Queen of hearts pub in lenwade, Norfolk. The staff were fantastic, there was a good atmosphere in the pub, the food and drink was great, (try the cider). A very pleasant evening all round. Will definitely be going back.

What a lovely pub. A lovely couple clearly love what they do and welcomed us from the moment we arrived, hungry from a day at the Pleasure Beach. They are proud of their pub and quite rightly so! We ate pretty much across the menu between the 6 of us and every item was lovely. From Roast beef, to a curry, home made 1lb pie, pork belly to sea food, all home cooked and delicious. The lovely young chef even came out to apologise personally for an item not being available as she was still cooking it! Rhubarb cider was amazing too! Only here on holiday, but I would gladly move to have this pub as my local! Despertely trying to fit in another visit before we go home!

This is a traditional pub, very friendly staff. With good pub grub, the steak was excellent as was the whitebait. The fish pie not so good. Overall very good and well worth a visit.

Had a lovely full English, staff friendly and helpful. Perfect place for food and drinks. Will be coming back!

Would definitely recommend anyone coming here for food and drinks. It’s has a great friendly atmosphere. You will not be disappointed!!

We had two 12 oz. steak dinners that were great. The landlord and landlady gave us a great welcome...and even the chef ...They had time to talk and listen to us...a rarity now a days...We will definitely go back again when in the area.

The staff are very welcoming and there are lots of tables and several rooms if you want to sit away from the main bar. The food is obviously all made in the pub and what you expect but very rarely get from pub food these days. The carvery is the best I’ve had in a pub. Today we had homemade chicken pie with huge chunks of chicken breast. Simple food very well executed.

Luckily found the pub by accident and had a great Sunday lunch. Thankfully TripAdvisor's review was spot on. Burned our hearty meals off on the Marriott's walk.

We were staying at a local hotel and googled restaurants for an evening meal. We were warmly welcomed on arrival and the landlord was stoking up the fire, which was very welcomed at that time. We had a choice of eating in the bar area or in the dining room, we opted for bar as it more cosey. Ordered steak and chips which came out all freshly cooked but was over whelmed by the size of the dish. Underneath all of the food was a 10oz rump steak. It was very tasty all round but was too much and could not manage to eat it all. Had pear crumble for dessert not too keen on that as crumble was a little soggy prefer it to be more crunchy.

Called here yesterday for a Sunday Lunch with our granddaughter and her young man. As other people have said we were made very welcome. The Hosts are very friendly and helpful, and cannot do enough for you. My wife had the cavery which was very very good. My beef was absolutely delicious and tender, and my wife said here pork was the same. The portions were very generous and there was a good selection of vegetables. It was all piping hot and served on lovelt HOT PLATES. which is a real change, so many places serve food on cold plates. Our grandaughter had the cottage pie which said said was lovely. All in all, once again an excellent meal. The QUEEN is well worth a visit.

An enthusiastic welcome and "large" servings with quite a good range of vegetables. Personally I would have "traded" a little less meat for a better cut of beef but, in its class, the Queen of Hearts is good value for money

The lady at the bar was very friendly and made us feel welcome. We arrived on a Sunday Lunch time and they usually serve roasts, we were offered cold snacks (this was all we were after) and didn't feel like we were putting the chef out.

Have passed this many times and called in today for a cheese scone and coffee. Lovely to have the scone warm. Very friendly. Nothing appeared to be too much trouble, encouraging regulars to make sure they got their healthy veg.
