The Angel Inn Freehouse in Breckland - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

What a fantastic little pub! The food was out of this world. Very traditional and exceptional food. We had the fish and chips and the stake and ale pie. Both dishes were incredible but a big shout out to the pie! Honestly delicious and to die for! Great staff and lovely out door seating.

We stopped by with a family of 8. The bar and wait staff were so nice and friendly and our food was fantastic!! It took a little while to arrive but they did warn us it might as they had quite a few orders before us so it was absolutely no problem at all. The kids had a ball playing in the playground and it was a lovely day to chat and sit outside. The food was definitely worth waiting for as you could tell it was all freshly made. (I had prawns with Marie Rose sauce on a ciabatta roll). It was so tasty and everyone had great portions. Loved it! Thank you! Highly recommend and definitely worth a visit for a great pub lunch.

Ate here three times during a stay in Larling, and each time the meals were excellent, as was the beer. The staff were helpful and friendly and the portions generous. Good value for money.

Lovely pub, nice atmosphere. Friendly welcoming staff and great food. Good prices and great portions. Would recommend.

We visited on a Friday lunchtime , the restaurant was busy but we were still found a nice table . All of our meals were absolutely lovely , the staff are really friendly too.

As this pub is the closest to Snetterton it was perfect for a pitstop en route to Norwich. Friendly family run pub just off of the A11. Food, service brilliant with all fresh cooked local fare forming the basis of the menu. Fine range of real ales well kept by Andrew the landlord. Spotless toilets.

We meet our friends here a couple of times a year and normally the food is really good. This time it was the complete opposite, only one of us enjoyed the meal my meal was initially wrong and when it came out very late it was actually awful, my husband barely touched his meal which is very unlike him and he said the meat in the pie tasted like it came from a can.The food used to be home cooked and lovely and now it’s frozen chips and lacks any care or attention. This will be the last time we go unfortunately. Having to wait nearly 35 minutes due to getting the food wrong was not ideal and it really was not worth the wait especially as we had children with us. My burger was grisly and inedible and so I ended up eating a few greasy chips. For the 80 pounds we spent only one of us actually ate their meal! Lots of the plates were going back to the kitchen hardly touched and the staff didn’t even remark on it as I’m guessing this is normal now.

Had a really delicious meal here in front of the open fire. Friendly and efficient staff and a cosy old fashioned country pub. Highly recommended 👌.

Rubbish. I had fish and chips, the batter was thick and soft and the chips were frozen chips and overcooked. The garden peas were the best thing on the plate. I did tell the staff I was underwhelmed but got nothing off the bill. A friend was paying so I didn’t make a fuss and cause her to be upset. I won’t be returning soon.

Sorry the food was ok but not great the staff was good we didn't stay for afters as the dining room was full of smoke and cold not a good night will think twice before going again our clothes will need washing to get the smoke out of them

Came here for lunch because it was the nearest pub to the English Distillery. What a lovely pub! Outside has clearly had a make over and had good parking. Staff were warm, friendly and attentive. Very typical traditional pub from the inside, had a lovely roaring fire going. What surprised me was how good the food is for such a smallish pub kind of in the middle of nowhere. Everything homemade even the tartar sauce! Had the most delicious pumpkin and orange sponge with icecream! To honest I couldn't fault the service or the food, well worth going out of your way for such a delicious meal. Thank you

Visited this lovely pub which was the destination venue for our classic car club Sunday drive. A party of 23 we were seated altogether in a private dining room. With so many of us we pre-ordered a couple of days in advance. The food was excellent with most people choosing the roast of either beef or pork. Staff coped well with our large party, food was served quickly and no one was kept waiting. Staff were friendly and professional. The added bonus is that there is plenty of parking. A super venue, delicious lunch and welcoming staff. Looking forward to returning.

We visit this beautiful, traditional pub a few times a year on our way to the Norfolk Broads. The owner ‘Andrew’ has owned the pub for 40 years (in Nov ‘23 ) The pub is immaculate and the proper pub food is awesome. There are no weeds growing out of the building (like most pubs!) toilets are also immaculate, everything is perfect and well worth a visit. Say hello to Andrew and his lovely Sister …..

Food was very good and would recommend it, however one member of staff was like a hurricane! She raced around tell customers how "incredibly busy" they were she spoke rather loudly at us rather than gently to us. She complained to other dinners that a party of guests had turned up with extra people and had put her out, still running around as she went. We asked for more drinks and were told again we'd have to wait as they were "incredibly busy"! Yes they were but that's not how you speak to clients, we can see that but we and other dinners don't have to be told everytime as request was made. There were other members of staff serving who were calm, but she was just too loud and it didn't boad for a comfortable evening. We'll not rush back!

What a great find ! On our way back from holiday in Norfolk and saw the sign for The Angel Inn. Pulled off and gave it a try. So glad we did the food was amazing and very reasonably priced. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Will definitely call in again on our way back from Norfolk ....highly recommend !!

Lovely pub which was very busy. Lady who showed us to our table was very friendly. Food was good but could have done with slightly larger portions. The waitress who came to take our dessert order was the total opposite of the original waitress - she was very grumpy, rushed us to make our minds up when we’d only just got the dessert menu and pulled faces if we weren’t quick enough. After desserts were delivered we were left - no asking if any of us wanted coffee another drink or even the bill! Wouldn’t rush back if this is the service they are offering.

Lovely evening for a birthday meal on a Monday! Food was delicious and so generous. Ale choice was great. Best thing though was the awesome service. So lovely and accommodating and just couldn’t have been better. They really looked after us. If this pub was closer to us we would be in there all the time. Well done to the Monday night team and huge thank you for making the evening special. It’s a real pub and feels so unpretentious, traditional and welcoming.

Excellent service and friendly staff & lovely food nice area in a peaceful location stopped here enroute to corton coastal village for a break can highly recommend this place.

Called after a visit to St George’s distillery. Beer and cider both well kept. My wife was very impressed with the rhubarb cider. The food was well presented and hot. Staff were polite and friendly. We will call again on our next distillery stop.

I wandered in after having walked 13 miles with not a pub that was selling food, cafe or shop in sight and was greeted with warmth and had the best cod and chips and rhubarb cider.

Amazing from booking to meal. Roast was outstanding. Lovely home cooked fresh roast. Guy answered phone to take the booking of 15 of us for Easter Sunday was spot on.

So many places are a bit chilly now the cost of heating has gone up but the Angel was lovely and warm with a wood burner going. I had haddock and chips with mushy peas. The fish was fresh with crisp light batter and the chips were light and fluffy. Staff were friendly and helpful. The only reason I gave 4 stars rather than 5 is because there were no healthy options on the menu, not even something I could tweak to make it more healthy. All you need is one healthy option, probably won’t get ordered that often but if you use the ingredients used for other meals it shouldn’t cause waste.

We stumbled across this great little pub and restaurant whilst staying at Thorpe Forest. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Food was superb, something for everyone ( even two teenagers) left full and happy 😃 After sight seeing for the day, we made sure we’d finish up here for our evening meal, and it was always perfectly cooked and very satisfying. Hidden gem!

Met up with family to exchange presents. Chosen for location and other reviews. Proved to be an excellent choice for a Christmas meal (Turkey and Christmas pudding) with a log fire and friendly staff. We will certainly be returning as we couldn’t have chosen better.

This is a lovely pub with some very friendly staff. Met up with friends here for lunch and whilst we didn’t enjoy our meals this time we would definitely go back based on a previous visit. Our fiends enjoyed their meal choice. The food here...

Marks out of ten for my experience here:10. Friendly staff, delicious steak and ale pie and chocolate brownie, nice atmosphere, cosy pub.

Lovely old pub great accommodation clean Nice evening meals after a full day on track Would come back next year

Stayed a couple of nights as visiting friends nearby. Pub is in the middle of nowhere so will need a car. Pub has a good size garden and restaurant area. Meals are average prices with a great choice on the menu including daily specials. We...

Visited for a quick Sunday lunch today. Food hot and reasonably priced. Rather busy , Polite, young , waiter , rush off his feet, perhaps more staff needed? As service felt a little awkward from others.

Our second three day stay didn’t disappoint. The owner is very welcoming and the bar staff and waitresses couldn’t be more helpful. The rooms are quiet, clean and well presented and everything is relaxed. We were very impressed by the vegetarian menu as these dishes...

Excellent food at reasonable prices A wide range of beers and ciders Friendly staff and a great outside space. There is also a camp site across the road which is run by the pub.

Such a shame I am writing this, as it used to be my favourite pub in the area. Sadly we have been in twice recently and both times been very dissapointed in the menu. Used to offer such a great selection, and I realise that...

Was looking forward to a lovely meal at the Angel Sadly the lamb chops were actually revolting and the wine gravy lacked wine. Staff were very nice and apologies were made for the disappointment. The offer of one free desert was declined but a small...

Huge plate of freshly cooked meat, home made yorkshires, home made roasties, lots of different veg and extra gravy. Totally recommend it, staff lovely abs friendly too.

In the area so came here on recommendation from a local. The pub is cosy and welcoming. The staff were really friendly despite being busy. The food was lovely, traditional home made pub food. We will definitely go back next time we are in the...

Just popped in on the way to Norwich with friends. Good atmosphere & made to feel welcome. Food was not cheap but quality home made style fayre that's worth paying for. Pie was delicious! Will return when next passing.

Somethings gone very wrong here. Had the pie which was awful and the dessert (raspberry & coconut cake) was so disappointing

Stayed here for a night as at a birthday party nearby. Lovely fresh clean room. Very friendly and helpful staff Will definitely stay again. Didn’t eat there on this occasion but have before. Lovely home cooked food. Great pub 👍 Thank you. ☺️

Stay here with my caravan every year for a local charity event. The campsite is great well maintained with showers and toilets. The Angel Inn provides superb food at reasonable prices with really friendly service. The local area is great for cycling walking and generally...

Found this place whilst driving and stopped for a drink or two. Very friendly staff and good beer on tap. The great weather definitely helped, but we all thought this was a really nice pub and somewhere we’d return to.

We stayed here over the weekend with friends who were camping on the adjacent camp site, presumably also run by the inn. The food, beer and room were all great and the staff were excellent.

We stayed here with a large group. Most stayed on the adjoining camp site, we stayed at the Inn. There is a restaurant inside but food was also available as take away for those on the camp site. We couldn’t fault our stay. The food...

Last min decision to try this place, great service amazing home cooked food, will go back again, nothing was too much trouble...

During recent times, it was so nice to enjoy a bite to eat o/side ( weather glorious) with a friend and feel ‘a little normal’ again. The manager and staff go out of their way to ensure you feel relaxed, and checked our requirements. Also...

We ordered a side away for a family of 4. The food was ready for collection at the agreed time and met by the owner of the pub who was friendly and welcoming. We all enjoyed our various burgers and chips very much . A...

Had a Delicious Steak and Kidney Pie with fresh Veg cooked to Perfection the pastry on Pie was lovely and the Meat and Gravy were to die for very very good . It was a take away meal .

Stayed here for two nights whilst attending British GT at Snetterton. Andrew the landlord was an excellent host and the staff could not be more friendly. The room was very comfortable and quiet. The food at the Angel is superb, large portions and reasonable prices....

we have been a few times. The atmosphere is good and very family group friendly. You can't beat the service provided by the staff.Food, limited menue as everywhere at present, but fresh and well cooked . Overall higher quality night compared to your standard pub fare

We stayed here on a Sunday night lucky to get a room on the offchance. A friendly and helpful welcome. Double room small but well equipped and spotless. They weren't doing breakfast because of Covid but this was discounted from the price of the room.This was the first night of our last minute getaway and they did us proud.We ate a delicious fresh crab salad with new potatoes which was fresh and healthy. Washed down with a bottle of white wine from the very reasonable wine list. Had an early evening drink here every night of our holiday in a nearby cottage. ( The owners are related and mutually very helpful) At the end of our holiday we enjoyed fabulous steaks and a nice bottle of red in the restaurant.The whole place is historical yet thoughtfully decorated. What a lovely place to stay, stop by for a drink in the garden, or have a meal from the scaled down but still appetizing menu.There is a lovely feel to the place. Good Covid arrangements locals in the bar and holiday makers at the socially distanced tables. So glad this was our local for our holidays. Interesting history as to how the pub was reclaimed for the village too.Thanks again to all staff for everything.

We had a light lunch on the way to a larger function. Nice greeting and efficient service had us eating a baked potato with cheese and beans and the mushroom pot. With proseccos and wine and coffees this was good value at £18 per head.

A wonderful impromtu visit here after a days racing with Norfolk friends. Another warm welcome and decent beer. Andrew fixed us up with two rooms at very short notice- much appreciated. We enjoyed a wholesome supper, a decent sleep in the comfortable rooms and a massive breakfast, all at a reasonable rate. Thank you Andrew and Liz

Very welcoming and after reminding the bar staff to switch the heating on upstairs all was well. We had the evening meal in the cosy bar and the steaks were extremely good too. After a good nights sleep we had an enjoyable breakfast before heading back to Berkshire.

Awful service they hardly noticed we were here. Such a shame because the food was ok. Hope that the management takes note

Met friends for Sunday lunch. Absolutely delicious!! Great food and service. Real fire topped off the day! Will definitely be returning!!

Local Pub The Angle Inn Larling went for Sunday lunch( my advice is too book ) its very popular .The choice of food was excellent service excellent drinks good you need to try it to find out your selves could not fault it . Only one thing ladies has a baby changing area but not the mens as i needed to change granddaughter other than that all good

My son was staying closeby for work so I decided to visit and have an evening meal. I had stroganoff and my son had Scampi. Great choice, great freshly cooked food and very friendly amicable staff all topped of with a lovely open fire. An old coaching inn, this is definitely one for the "I will be back list". Comfortably 5 stars all round.

lovely pub , good food , lovely host will definitely stay here again when this way . good choice of ales , good selection of food the homemade steak and kidney pie was delicious thankyou andrew for lovely stay , tony and kerry

Nice place to eat, the food is of a good standard. Would recommend. Good local beer and the staff are very please t

Its always a pleasure to visit the Angel. Great service at the bar by the genial manager and staff, and always a good choice of excellent beers, ciders etc. Good food in the restaurant, again with great service. What more can you want!

Revisiting after several years and we weren’t disappointed. A very warm friendly welcome, good service and lovely food. Portions slightly on the large side but well presented, and cooked to perfection. We’ll be back very soon. Well done to the whole team

Attended the Angel Inn with 19 others for a leaving lunch, (pre-booked) I was amazed that the service was so quick bearing mind 19 people placing an order at the same (starters and main courses) the Inn was very busy at the time, food arrived swiftly and was excellent. Large menu with daily specials board. Staff excellent and friendly. brilliant lunch

Great outdoor space! Great play area for the kiddies!

If you like frozen chips and frozen onion rings this is the place for you. We ordered fish which we think was also cooked from frozen, which was awful, even the peas were over cooked. The glass of wine wasn’t good. By this time we’d had enough we left most of our food, paid the bill and left. We arrived at The Angel looking forward to a lovely meal and left wishing we hadn’t bothered. Also please do something about the flies that were a constant annoyance.

Visited this pub on Thursday as part of a large group (25 people made up of seven families) and had an absolutely lovely evening. The food was excellent and the portions were huge. Service was much quicker than anticipated and staff were friendly. The food was also very reasonably priced and the kids had a great time in the play area. Would definitely recommend.

We read the reviews online and we were convinced by the reviews that we must try this place- what we actually found was a pub that smelled like urine inside and outside - we didn’t even want to drink our drinks let alone have any food. They take your card off of you when you first order which is quite unsettling! I cant quite believe the other more positive reviews because this certainly isn’t what we found! I had to check we had the right place! Wouldn’t recommend!

Lovely clean and charming. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. We went on a Saturday lunch time and had fish and chips. As previous reviews have said they were big and very very tasty. Whilst we were there they had a beer tasting fete which we enjoyed.

Tucked away but close to the A11 near Snetterton this was a great find for lunch or an evening meal.

Came with my Father, wife, sister and fathers lady friend.

Been coming to the Angel for years to their annual beer festival. Always well organised with friendly knowledgable staff and an amazing selection of beers. Camping for the weekend is great value with beer tokens included. This year there was a wider range of food stalls which was a great addition.

We regularly visit the angel throughout the year food and service is always excellent and reasonably priced love the fact that during the winter they always have several roaring open fires and summer months you can sit outside in the sunshine

Had our second visit here and I have to say the foods great and friendly staff. Reasonably priced but the flies !!! Come on guys the flies are very of putting. :(

We had an evening meal with friends & it was excellent. I had the lamb chops, which were lovely. The steak looked great & there was none left so it must have been good. My husband had fish & chips, although "whale & chips" would be a better title.

We followed the advice on trip advisor and we weren't disappointed in choosing this establishment.

Really enjoyed my visit today, am already planning to make another visit Varied menu, lovely surroundings and I did like the ‘proper’ tablecloth

great little pub with professional standards, clean tidy with character ideal for a quick break & lunch.

A very good pub restaurant serving a wide range of freshly cooked food

A nice pub, eith friendly staff and good food. The pie was very nice, others in the group had a burger, stroganoff and ham,egg and chips. All were very nice.

This review is purely on the camping side of The Angel Inn not the pub.

We stopped here for some dinner recently and being a Saturday evening, they seated us promptly even though we hadn't made a booking in advance.

Stayed for one night. Comfortable room. Good food........ excellent breakfast. This is a traditional English Inn and a pleasure to stay at ..not many of these left ......a gem.......will stay again...

On a wet Wednesday it was a joy to enter this Inn. The staff were very helpful, especially to a member of our party who is wheelchair bound. A 93trd birthday lunch for my wife's uncle. The tables set for 14 across the lounge in front of a gorgeous wood fire. We had pre ordered but small changes, and three meals not pre ordered, all arrived at the table piping hot and delicious. I ate too much! It would have been rude not to! I'm told that the draught bitter was excellent but couldn't try it as I had the drive back to London ahead of me. All told a lovely meal in a country pub with a warm welcoming atmosphere. We will be back!

Stopped as was passing back to Norfolk from holiday abroad. Lovely specials board when we arrived so picked home made asparagus soup and cottage pie and vegetables to follow. The pie was full of meat and very tasty. We were not disappointed, meal size very good and lovely calm atmosphere as was during the week. Will visit again if near the area.

This was my second visit to the Angel Inn a year after visiting the first time. I was staying down the road in the little village of East Harling for the Easter holidays.

Having not visited before we went on recommendation. The food, service etc was acceptable but not spectacular. Lamb chops with new potatoes, onion rings and salad . I didn't even attempt the wilted salad! The iceberg lettuce might have revived had it been washed! The specials desert board was uninspiring, so we didn't bother. Overall, it was OK (but nothing special) and I wouldn't go again.

Large menu with a good range of gluten free options. Food cooked to order, great meal, good value, and good size portions. Will definitely return.

Great night at our shoot meal it was a set menu to cater for all the shoot guest but did not rate the food that much the veg was rock hard and my gray to my pie was cold but they did have to cater for alot of people that night

There were 15 of us, 8 adults /7 children. We were seated in the little breakfast room ... a little squashed but ideal in that we could shut the door to contain the little ones! A wide menu choice ... full meals or smaller, lighter bites. Also a reasonable children's menu. We should probably pre-ordered as there were so many of us, so it was 2.30pm before we got our food (arrived at 1.30 but didn't complete order until 1.50).

The Angel inn at Larling. Just off the A11...but surprisingly quiet in the old buildings.

We arranged a birthday lunch for my father in laws 80th birthday

We stopped in for some lunch on way back from a seaside trip.

We had a meal of 3 courses, with a fine bottle of wine. All the food was well presented, tasty and hot at a reasonable price. The service was very efficient and friendly. The location is very rural and I am sure will be great on a summers day or evening.

brilliant beers, brilliant hospitality, just how it should be, huge dinner portions served with panache and a sile, breakfast cooked to order and served by the boss!!, shame The angel is so far away from us

The lounge/ dining area was very comfortable, the food range was excellent very tasty, the staff were very friendly nothing was too much trouble for them. Would recommend it very strongly & would go back especially to try their Sunday roast.
