The Barns Acle Kings Head in Broadland

Most expensive pint of beer I’ve ever had. Little to choose from at the bar. Meal was average. Service, RUBBISH! Give it a miss next time round!

We stayed for 1 night in a room and ate dinner and breakfast in the restaurant. After the initial mix up with a room being double booked, we had a pleasant stay. The staff were great, We did have to chase up a spare towel and extra pillows in the room we were later allocated and its worth noting the room only had a mirror in the bathroom which was a bit of an inconvenience and unusual. Food was excellent though, especially the steaks and definitely made up for it. Breakfast was also delicious. Shop around for the room prices if booking an overnight stay as they do differ on different booking sites which is a little frustrating, especially if you've secured a room at a higher price.

Came with friends on 24th for a Christmas dinner, table had been booked weeks before.When we arrived we were told items on menu were no longer available including the turkey which we all had expected.No Christmas atmosphere or Christmas music, very disappointed after travelling from Nottinghamshire.

While here on holiday in Acle, we visited The Kings Head. Overall, it was a lovely evening However, when we sat down for our meal, several items were not available, as we were told they’d had problems with their supplier. Anyway, I ordered the homemade soup, which was very nice, followed by the 6 oz sirloin steak, again which was delicious. Staff wise, although very friendly, were a bit on the slow side, but didn’t spoil our evening Our only real complaint was that there was a dog in the restaurant, which kept barking. I feel that, although I love dogs, a restaurant is not the place for dogs. Otherwise, a very pleasant evening.

Friendly, professional, caring staff. Warm welcome. Can do attitude. Cosy atmosphere and calm ambience in both pub and restaurant . Good size, modern, clean bedroom and bathroom. Very comfortable beds. Excellent food, was impressed with both dinner and breakfast. Quality produce, value for money and exceptionally well cooked.

we visit acle from leics. twice a year as its set ideally to explore the broads and coastline, we like the peace and quiet of staying in a village thats serviced by all we need for a couple of nights too, versus a yarmouth hotel....

I had fish and chips it was very good best fish I have had for a while. My wife had a chicken chasseur which was not so good but ok . We both had sweets took over half hour and they where not that good...

Lovely pub, plenty of room to park. Pub inside clean and tidy. Staff very friendly. We didn't eat here but food looked nice. Plenty of seating. Used by the locals which is a good sign. Really worth a visit.

Just had the fish and chips.and they were fantastic!!! Test of menu looked really good as well. Great atmosphere and really food staff. Over the moon!

Soup and a sandwich. Onion soup was lovely and lots of it. Beef sandwich super. We were so impressed went back the next night for evening meal. We had two starters each instead of the main meal but visited again and had the largest fish...

The pub has recently re-opened and four of us were meeting up so decided to try The Kings Head as we are local. Good selection of beers and wine, we were drinking cider, red wine and draught bitter. We each had a starter (including a...

Absolute shambles from the moment we walked in and order 3 drinks which the bar man made up the prices as he went along, 7 for a evening meal, short staffed so 1 person trying to run a bar and serve food, left over Xmas...

Absolutely starving so pop in to give it a go under the new ownership. This is a sunday and pretty much empty. While sitting waiting for good half an hour we witnessed the only other couple in there pretty much finish their meal before the...

The surrounding and the welcome were good, however the food poor, fish batter was doughy, the chicken supreme did not have the supreme sauce and was just dried chicken. The worst thing for me though was the kraken and coke which had very little (if...

I first used the Kings head when it was under the old management, the place was rundown and not very welcoming,and the food was rubbish, so when the new people took it over and this was to be their first Sunday roast, I decided to...

We called in for a quick pint whilst waiting for our Chinese meal from the takeaway. There was live music advertised for later in the evening. Interesting choice of music being played, which sadly put me off staying or returning to hear the music. I...

Popped in on a Sunday early evening for a quick pint place seemed ok with a mix of locals in the two bars, cash only pub. Nice barmaid friendly enough. Never tried any food. Ok pub

It is what it is.... a cliquey typical local pub complete the dodgy carpets and mediocre menu. Worth going for a drink if you are waiting for a takeaway though.

We had burgers that the landlady cooked for us as her chef wasn't present and they were delicious. She and her staff are really trying hard to regain a nice local pub enviroment. Lovely people and nice food. Complimentary drink on the house for waiting...

Went here for breakfast following a really early start . When deciding on coffee choice , said I would have regular and was told that’s good as we only have that ( Turned out it was instant ). Offered a table in the bar ,...

Sign outside says cask ales and good food. Inside no cask ales and no food . Had a Guinness and a gin. Prices were cheap but they need to be . Unless we have a nuclear war we won't go again.

Went for lunch - never again. Walk in to find cleaning lady gazing into her phone whilst surrounded by Henry the Hoover and other junk (it was lunchtime). Young boy of school age also mooching around bar area lounging on all the furniture gazing into...

our first visit since being taken over by new owners. There is a nice new dining room and lots of space to eat in the bar area. Excellent steak, all the food was good. My only niggle is that it was a bit cold and...

just popped in for a drink very friendly staff and a good pot of tea my husband had a local beer he said it was very good

Dreadful place. I visited this week whilst in the area. I wanted to watch Premier league football and found that staff gave false information and were unhelpful.

I come here every day and as always I had a great tea all the food is great and I would say everyone needs to go there the rooms are great and the food is at a great price

My Dad is over from Thailand and we put him up in the Kings Head, it is aa friendly, clean and well run pub with easy parking.

Still advertising as b&b but the kitchen hasn't been used in a long time. It is cheap accommodation, if your not expecting any kind of service. No new towels, sheets or toilet roll. I had to stay a week for work. The bed is pretty...

Our stay lasted less than 2 minutes. It was the first time I had been in Acle Kings Head Inn for nearly 12 months and was simply horrified at how run down this, what used to be a thriving community pub/restaurant has become. Firstly we...

Been here in the past and it has been ok. Close to the in laws house so ideal. On this occasion they had only one ale which was out of date. No one else In the pub.

We popped in to have a drink and some food but told no food was available, no reason so had a couple of drinks and left. I found it strange that a pub has on the side of it building Good Food served all day...

visited here by chance, had a bar meal which was nice, only problem was, the beer I had ordered was off, gave it back and had another choice, noticed that when I mentioned the beer had gone off, I was offered another choice, but noticed...

Called in for a quick drink, had a large car park, we walked in the dining room which was well populated and the food looked plentiful, went through to the bar area which was quite spacious with music in the background , very much a...

Since it has been taken over, there has been a real impovement, want in with mum earlier, and had cod and chips followed by a brownie, the chips were amazing home cut chunky chips! My only comment would be that they need more staff!!

Food served in the restaurant or in the lounge bar. Wide menu with popular pub dishes, reasonably priced.

Wasn't expecting too much so was pleasantly surprised when the food arrived. A good choice of menu, plenty to choose from, well presented and generous portions. Food was yummy and kids really enjoyed it too which can sometimes be the hard part. We have visited...

Very much a local's pub, our party of four turned up to a very warm welcome indeed - having booked ahead. Apparently this is unusual. I think this could change in future. We were told it was a new menu, and between us ordered lamb...

My husband and I have visited the Kings Head in Acle a couple of times over the last 18 months and were recently advised that it had new owners and a refurbished restaurant and menu. Decided to 'give it a try' this evening - very...

Very pleased that our village pub has much needed face lift. Although inside is a bit clinical no atmoshphere it needs some pictures etc i assume a work in progress?!however judging by reviews seems to be having teething problems.please lets not waste this and it...

We were on our holidays in the broads and found a place to moor up. After walking for a while we came across this "lovely" pub. Upon arriving the chef looked to be tidying away as we asked if food was being served, instead of...

Stayed at Travelodge and was looking for somewhere near for evening meal. Found this pub/restaurant just up the road and gave it a try. My wife had sausage and mash and I had steak & Kidney pudding. First we were both served with sausage and...

really good value, generous portions and good choice, can be a little difficult to park if it's busy.

Tried several local Inns from Caister to Acle with no luck either full or closed . Found The Kings Head in Acle village on arrival shown to a table in the rear dining room and told the pub had just been taken over and no...

Good pub grub however we went twice and they run out of steaks both times. Seemed to be a little disorganised but we're very welcoming and polite.

my partner and i were staying at acle for a few days, and popped in for a meal and a pint, the food was plentiful, the beer was good and the service was excellent

we were staying in Acle for the weekend and were meant to be meeting family in the kings head inn. We were made to feel very un welcome by staff and other customers. The staff were swearing loudly, we felt so uncomfortable, we called our...

We went there for a Sunday lunch. It was a roast, it was cheapish, there was little choice of meats (2) and no choice of veg. However the cost included an afters so over all the price reflected the quality and quantity. The beer was...

We had a lovely meal at the Kings Head - we were a large party and had not booked a table in advance but the staff were really friendly and accommodating and the food was also good and plentiful. The kids loved the play area...

Was taken to Kings Head by my husband for my birthday, what a disappointment, welcome was good and room was ok, comfy bed and reasonably clean although could do with a few little jobs doing. Unfortunately I was not well and could not eat although...

this pub is within easy walking distance from the Travelodge in Acle. nice outside seating area and helpful bar staff.

Dropped in on the off chance of letting us have a meal inside as we had the dog with us. Sat in the games room, clean, friendly and airy. Ordered 3 meals, all came cooked from fresh. Liver and onions was fantastic, as was the...

The last remaining 'pub' in Acle which should give it a fighting chance but whilst it is a friendly 'watering hole' it is much in need of investment and renovation to encourage visitors both local and distant. A work colleague who was staying in the...
