The Bridge Inn Pub & Restaurant in Broadland

Went here last week for our 1st night on our broards trip. Lovely surroundings, food was excellent, starters and mains. I recommend the pie btw .will visit again

We come at least twice a month as the food is awsome especially the steK and ale pie is massive. And the staff are so welcoming. Just a lovely atmosphere and so friendly

This is our 3rd or 4th time back to this little pub. From the moment you walk in it’s great the fire is on and the staff are all so lovely and can’t do enough for you. They have a great menu which a great choice we went here for 2 nights over our stay as we loved it that much. Food just like your own home cooking and the desserts are just amazing. This wee pub also allows dogs in which is fantastic.

Menu out of date unhelpful staff spoiled our visit ....wouldn't go for food again. Shame really as we were on a budget and had planned this menu

Thanks to Shelly for a fantastic welcome and excellent service, we really enjoyed our food and the atmosphere of the pub/restaurant. I would certainly recommend the Acle Bridge Inn if you're in the area.

This is our second visit to the Acle Bridge Inn and the food was as good as the first time. I had burger & chips and hubby had the cottage pie with veg, very good sized portions & the food was yummy & reasonably priced too. Our server Shelley was smiley & friendly, explained all the specials & was very attentive. Plenty of seating inside and outside, lots of choice on the menu , you should visit & try for yourselves, highly recommended.

Excellent surroundings, warm welcome on arrival, friendly staff, excellent service and value for money, nothing was too much trouble and a good selection on the menu. Shelly our waitress could not have done more for us

Once again a really good meal, the staff are so pleasant and helpful, and a lovely spot beside the river with plenty of room to park, will visit again soon.

This place is a little gem , food was amazing we had lasagne with chips salad and coleslaw all super fresh and tasty , our waiter Harrison was really welcoming and friendly - defo worth a visit

Food was terrible, bordering on inedible!! Definitely wouldn’t recommend, okay for a drink as in a nice spot on the river.

Two attempts to call, over twenty minutes waisted trying to book a table for Sunday lunch. While I was waiting my time calling this establishment others were being booked up before I rang.

I returned here again, the best pub on the Broads. Too many pubs these days are trying to be posh restaurants. The Acle Bridge is not one of them. What you get here isn't 'posh.' It's class! Class food, class staff, class atmosphere. You will not be disappointed here!

We had breakfast at Acle Bridge pub and it was great. Love the position next to the river and it is a fab Norfolk Broads pub - a must if you are on a boating holiday as you can moor outside or just the other side of the bridge. Hubby and I had a full English and son had the American pancakes. Service was great and food was excellent quality and well presented. Highly recommended.

Lovely looking pub in a scenic location right next to the river. We ordered Hunters Chicken, Posh pie, fish and chips and a Moving mountains burger. The fish and hunters chicken seemed a fair portion but the posh pie was a bit small and the moving mountains burger was a massive disappointment. I'd seen photos on the website of the burgers was was looking forward to the same. Nope. Brioche bun, patty and salsa sauce, chips on the side for £16. While family tucked into their meals I checked the menu and it said mine should have come with onion rings, so I went to ask a waitress and was quickly bought some. After she bought them (I was still reading menu) I also saw it said I should have had crisp salad. I didn't. I wasn't going to ask again, surely they know how to plate up their own food menu. Disappointed so just paid and left, went to have dessert in Reedham. It is a lovely pub, well patronised, recommend booking, but my experience and my meal was not worth £16.

Went last night 24th June on the off chance, pleasant gentleman at the desk showed us to a table. Server's very pleasant, meals were excellent and good portions. Very pleased and a good experience, well done.

As usual we had the warmest welcome from all the staff Phil, Jim and Sharon ❤️. The food was superb love the new lunchtime menu. We will see you again very soon

We arrived on a Saturday night without a booking not expecting much based on the very full car park. The pub was very busy but they managed to find us a lovely table, it was even by a window with a view of boats on the broad. Service was friendly and prompt, even coping with the demands of two children, a vegetarian and myself with allergies. We had a lovely dinner and are very happy to recommend the Acle Bridge Inn and will return when we are next in Norfolk. Thank you to chef and all the staff.

After the good reviews we decided to try again after 4 years when food was not good. Great welcome and friend people but I am afraid that is where ended. I had the ribs which were to say the least a disappointment. The rack of ribs reminded me of the supermarket boxed ribs and there were not smothered BBQ sauce. The onion rings were not crisp as normal but soft. Not sure if chips were from a bag, nice but not home peeled and cooked. The ham with the eggs and ham were pre-sliced and a bit slimmer, not cut from a joint of pork/ham the wrong texture. So that's it for at least another 4+ years. There are much better around that area.

Good food, atmosphere, and a very friendly service, I love this place, Phil and his team really make you feel welcome, and what a location right by the river.

We visited for drinks on a Sunday afternoon and as the food being served looked amazing so we decided to book to return for Sunday lunch two weeks later. The front of house is very welcoming and staff are very polite and friendly. We had roast beef, burger, lasagne and cottage pie with a bottle of house red. We left empty plates , it was so delicious. The whole pub was full which is a reflection on the food. 10/10 customer service, we have recommended family & friends and we can’t wait to return. This is how a pub should be run. You and your staff are a credit and we can’t wait to return thank you x

First class in every aspect Meal choice, portions and presentation Staff were very friendly and helpful and attentive but not intrusive The whole venue is very well kept . Have been before and will return again

This pub is great ! The food was amazing & great value for money. All staff were friendly and obviously enjoyed their job. We would certainly recommend paying a visit as soon as you can.

We visited the pub on Thursday evening with family and had a lovely meal. The staff were very attentive and they were able to easily cater for our niece who is Gluten and Lactose free. The children all loved the outside space with the view of the broads and the atmosphere was great. We enjoyed it so much that we visited again today for lunch on our way home from the beach. Highly recommend a visit to this family and dog friendly pub in a beautiful setting.

Wow what a great pub right ion the Norfolk broads with boats going past! The staff were very welcoming and friendly. We read previous reviews and as advised by the website we booked a table. So pleased we did as it became very busy by 12.30! The food was fabulous. Hot, well presented & extremely tasty, We had Fish Pie and Winter Vegetable Stew. Then Homemade Lemon Roulade with Raspberry Sorbet plus a Banana Split Dog friendly and large garden. Highly Recommended Will definitely be back.

We had a lovely late lunch at Acle Bridge Inn after mooring outside and walking our dogs. The staff couldn't have been friendlier and helped us out massively. The food was delicious and I'm only sorry we weren't able to stay longer! Hopefully we'll make it back again, thank you all very much 😁

Great welcome at the bridge inn Acle yesterday, took family for drinks in the gardens . Pleasant staff nice clean tidy pub, well deserve there award this year for broadland pub of the year . Well done see you soon.

Popular pub with a warm welcome from Jimmy. Although it was a Monday it became surprisingly busy. Food was very. Good and served hot. My wife rated the quality of fish very highly.

We had the extreme good fortune of our campervan breaking down just outside the Acle Bridge Inn (in appalling wet weather).Phil? the landlord could not have been more accommodating, making room for us in front of the log burner despite being in the midst of a busy Sunday lunch time service. 1 hour waiting for the breakdown recovery turned into 3, by which time we just had to have one of the roasts going past. And so glad we did as the food was absolutely superb! The welcoming staff and great food turned what could have been a truly awful situation into a really great experience. Thank you Acle Bridge Inn!

Had Sunday lunch today and for £16 ahead it’s excellent value. The turkey was lovely and moist and the cauliflower cheese was fantastic. Staff and customers were so friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend it.

Our favourite place for atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff, excellent food and reasonable prices. What's not to like. Acle Bridge Inn is a lovely pub worth visiting anytime of year. It'location along the river offers wonderful views and pleasant surroundings. We've never been disappointed.

We just wanted a nice drink and meal in their gorgeous Beer Garden but we were forced to walk into the actual Pub where someone was sitting behind a desk making sure we all scan track and trace. I said we just want a drink outside but she insisted that we do as she told us. She told us rules and gave us directions of where we should walk to get to the garden. We had to follow all these blue arrows through the Pub. (I didn’t want to go into the Pub at all because of Covid). We eventually got to sit outside. The mobile table ordering service wanted all of our personal details; names, email, home address! all this, just to order 4 drinks! Absolute Overkill. And this was Freedom week! They really ruined our visit! God only knows what they were like during Covid. We left after our drink and ate in another Pub.

This pub has a great location, staff were friendly and pleasant and food was OK. However, the manager - Bill - was less than welcoming and was obsessed with anti-Covid measures despite being so called "freedom day" and most people now being vaccinated. If you're a true masked Covid believer this is for you; if you don't like excessive caution and signs avoid like the plague!

What a lovely pub/restaurant! Service and food brilliant - would definitely go back. We were a family of 10 and everyone love it. Great atmosphere x

Dispite being full to the gills and dealing with covid presures they went over and above helping me to get onine for some important emails. Food, drink and service was also great.....very nice people doing their best in difficult circumstances.

Really impressed with everything! Fun and relaxed atmosphere, but with Covid safety measures put in place. The service was outstanding; fast, polite, and the food was great. Easy parking, beautiful views. What more could you ask for on a summer day!

Sadly I don't like pubs with loads of kids running about i think its an age thing.However this establishment is very family oriented with a good play area for children.It also has an excellent outdoor covered seating area with heating for eating and some in the garden without heating.The food was very nice and I'd highly recommend a visit with the family

Great food with great service. The staff couldn't do enough to help. We were traveling around on a boat on the Broads and this place was perfect for what we all wanted. So friendly and welcoming. Credit to the management for being able to keep the staff throughout lockdown and for the staff that are so motivated to please the customers. Definitely go back again.

We ate twice here. Overnight mooring £5 lunch was ok as was dinner. The general standard of food on the Norfolk Broads is just ok. This pub is no exception. Once again as was the general rule there was little adherence to Covid rules. Everything was ok, nothing special. Sadly this was the same everywhere.

We had already booked a table for four inside, so we were showed to our table straight away. We had a booth with a view of the beer garden and river. The service was quick,and the food ok. It is overpriced for the quality choice on offer. Steer clear of the merlot - it's vile and, although we tried hard, we only managed half the bottle and left the rest. For the same price (£18) we had much better in the Indian we went to the night before. And don't bother with a liqueur coffee. I asked for a baileys coffee. It took 20 minutes, had cold cream floating on top and about 6 teaspoons of sugar in it. I left half of that too at £8 a drink. Mind you, the waitress did warn me they found it difficult to make liqueur coffees.

A recent trip on the broads led us to this pub - they had the euros on!!!! Phil and his staff were brilliant. They couldn’t have accommodated us any better. COVID safety was high on the agenda and service was excellent. I would not hesitate in recommending this fabulous pub to anyone. The food was well presented and as it was my husbands and my 44th wedding anniversary they tried to make it extra special for us. We were a party of 4 adults. The staff were excellent and sounded like they loved working with Phil. They had a brilliant rapport. Don’t take my word for it go try it for yourself.

Greeted by a lady who I can only assume was either a stasi general in a previous life or held Miss Trunchbull as a life long role model. She made it feel like a great effort to give us a table in their near empty garden. Only part of which you can order food in, we soon found out after being seated. After moving to a more convenient table for the waiting staff we were able to order food in person because the app didn’t work. The young male waiter must of been on the same training course as the lady at the door. He begrudgingly took our order at the same time as sucking any sense of atmosphere and humour from the general vicinity. And then the food arrived…essentially either deep fried or microwaved I would liken it more to a two for one type chain pub rather than a stand alone ‘country pub’. Making what they served very overpriced based on the quality. The highlight of the meal for us was the small amount of ceramic dish buried inside one of the children’s lasagne. Added a little crunch. The park and little bikes are good for the children, but if you’re after food with a wider variety of flavours, and better service than you can find in your own under-stairs shoe cupboard I really wouldn’t bother.

6 of us & squeezed us in to eat , as they had a cancellation, Shelly was fabulous made sure our visit was welcomed, food was amazing , friendly , had the last spot for mooring so good all round

Good view. Nice outdoor area. The quality of the food and drinks was not worth the price on this occasion.

We arrived by boat, and saw 2 chioces for an evening meal, and decided to try thr Acle Bridge Inn. Good choice of staarters and mains, with something for everyone.Starter of whitebait, followed by haddock and chips were both superb.The other meals ordered were also of excellent quality.Highly recommended.

Pub on the waterside so, if the weather is amenable, an excellent place to sit and enjoy a meal and beer. Food good and reasonably priced in a high tourist area. Covid precautions were ever much in evident. Recommend booking beforehand as it can get busy

What a find! We'd been looking for a nice pub by the water to have lunch and the Acle Bridge Inn certainly came up trumps. The pub was fully booked but luckily for us they'd had a 'no show'. The food was excellent - we shared some garlic mushrooms and my husband had the ribs and I chose the lasagne. It was probably the best lasagne I've ever eaten in a pub. The staff were lovely, they all seemed happy in their roles and were both attentive and friendly. All in all a wonderful experience - nice, welcoming pub with good food and a good vibe. Would highly recommend a visit.

Where to start, we were met on arrival by the owner who made us welcome and showed us to our tableOur server was introduced snd again couldn’t have been more helpfulFood to be fair was stunning, starters of whitebait and garlic mushrooms, mains were fish, child and ribsEvery meal was absolutely perfectIf on the broads great place to visit but ensure yiu book in advance

Stopped at the Acle Bridge Inn as part of our boating holiday on the Norfolk Broads. Tried to book a table but when we phoned up we’re fully booked inside. Took our chance on an outside table which could not be booked. Very Covid conscious which was a pleasing start. Staff very friendly and efficient. Lots of outside tables if the weather is good but plenty also under cover with heaters when not. Great table fab food and wine by the bottle at a very sensible price. We only had main courses which were not cheap but when nothing disappoints then still VFM. I had the fish pie which was fab. All in all highly recommended and all the staff deserve credit.

Found this gem on a drive around on a damp squally day. Ample parking and good COVID precautions in place. We hadn’t booked ahead so as the restaurant was busy we were shown to an undercover area outside heated by wall heaters. It was cosy and we were soon joined by our server.Myself and my partner ordered the chilli con carne. I sampled the Adnams Broadside ale.The food was superb and filling. We had a small view of the river and the numerous boats moored up alongside the pub.Prices were good too.

Visited for the second time in the last few weeks as have recently moved to the area. The staff are fantastic, especially during these difficult times. Each and every member of staff is welcoming and keen to make sure their customer enjoy their visit. The food is good, hearty British pub food. Very fresh, and generous portions. Super location and great value for money. You must book ahead as it's a popular place and you can easily why this is the case.

We arrived at the pub a little later than the rest of our party as we had travelled a fair distance to get there. We were greeted and shown to the tables where our family were. The food was good and everyone enjoyed what they had ordered. Very filling so sadly no room for desserts. The pub are doing their best to ensure social distancing and there are outside gazebo pods you can sit in if you prefer. Lovely welcome to Norfolk on as Friday evening and we could leave our car there for the weekend whilst on the boat.

Ten of us booked a meal for Friday night. We all had a lovely meal. Generous portions. All hot and fresh. Salad was gorgeous . Krystal and Shelly were fantastic and very efficient . Most enjoyable meal . Definitely worth another visit

Lovely meal out whilst on a boating holiday. Had pie for main course which was really tasty but the portion was huge and didn’t manage to finish it. Advisable to book as this pub is on the riverside and is very popular.

Excellent meal and service, great menu choice, all the meals coming out of the kitchen looked fantastic. Went for the chicken burger. Which came with fries and coleslaw, a good choice. One way system in operation

Walked in the pub to wait 5 minutes whilst all the staff just stared at us. Finally someone came over and said ‘Stand back behind that line I need all your track and trace details before you do anything’ like we were at school by a miserable woman. The place stank really bad so we turned around and left. Such a shame as a beautiful pub but looks and smells bad inside.

We moored up at this pub at the start of a weeks holiday in early June and had a few drinks in the afternoon. We did have a problem with drinks order but it was dealt with very quickly and with excellent customer service. We booked to eat in the evening and as a coeliac I was impressed with the knowledge and the gluten free menu. A excellent evening was topped off by our server Lucy who was very helpful informing us of the local area. She is a real asset to the Pub. Would 100% recommend if you are coeliac or not to make a stop at this pub.

Great venue, good real ales and the food was fabulous! The garlic chicken breast was beautiful! Great, friendly staff too!

Starter: sharing plates. Very expensive for the Goujons etc and all were over cooked. Nachos were really good. Mains: not good. Over cooked and poor quality food. Inedible! Cheap condiments too. Service amazing. Such a shame the food let’s this place down. We still tipped as the waitress was great and sought out feedback when she saw we hadn’t eaten the food. Knocked monies off the bill which we didn’t expect. Hopefully with this setting by the river they will try and improve their food and menu. The photos on the website are not a true reflection.

Nice location, good service, limited menu .The menu is very limited. Pie of the day is very disappointing- individual pies with limited filling and very hard pastry. Pie of the day was chicken leek and ham, had trouble finding any chicken or ham at all in the pie. If it’s the pie of the day how come when it runs out they changed to Steak & Ale - I asked just that and no surprise I was told they were frozen and the Steak & Ale pie was left from the day before. At 7pm on a Sunday a number of items were off the limited menu making the choice even less to choose from! A little disappointed as we made a point of visiting every time we’re in the area and although I understand the limited menu as they are not at 100% capacity and need to cut costs but it needs a little more thought.A word of warning- a pint will set you back £5.30 which extortionate to say the least.They have also lost the personal touch, we had no less than 7 different people waiting on our table which is a shame as it’s all so impersonal. They previously had one waiter/ress for a set amount of tables and they always had time to talk and be more personable.Rethink your menu, service plan and inflated prices and people will flock back like they always did.

We rang for a booking and were accommodated, even though it was short notice and they were fully booked. A really well run inn, lovely food and great service. Many thanks to Phil and the lovely Danni for making our visit a lovely and enjoyable one. We'll be back!!

we rang to book a table to be told they are are not taking bookings and we could just turn up , we turned and was asked "have you made a booking as we are full " what was the point in ringing to book a table to be told you don"t need to just turn up , and then turning up to be told you need to book very frustrating

We made a last minute decision to moor up outside the pub & call in for lunch. We were seated easily despite not having a booking. Food was excellent & the staff were pleasant

We are on holiday near by and we booked last minute for a table of ten and they made space for us all perfectly. We had several children with us and ALL of the staff were so friendly and helpful. Everything is reasonably priced. The service was really quick and the food was amazing. The whole building and outside area is beautifully decorated. 100% recommended, if you’re thinking of eating here, do it!!!

Booked in for a meal with my brothers last night. Great service from everyone we dealt with,. Enjoyable meal, nice atmosphere and friendly table service...thanks Josh. The manager has built a good team who clearly put your experience as the priority...it works. Thanks.

The Acle Bridge Inn has a very nice location by the river and offers seating inside and out. Booking is required. We had a lovely table by the window and enjoyed our time looking at the activity. Service was very courteous and the food was great. Two of us had the pie of the day (chicken and leak) - it was huge and extremely tasty. One lasagna and ham egg and chips - both very nice. No room for desert but we left full and contented.

Still a lovely setting, and food still ok, although prices seem to have gone up a bit. However, it's average food and there are definitely better options. I can see the attraction if on the river and need to stop off somewhere.

Make sure you book in advance. Good location easily accessible from the main road & lovely outside seating!

Great food very friendly staff great pub to visit when on Norfolk broads lovely location and great beer garden all way recommend to book a table as always very busy pub

We called in to Acle on our boating holiday and moored up then we crossed the bridge to the Acol Bridge Inn. We were very affronted when we read the sign on the front door which said if you don’t have a booking don’t enter we are at full capacity. This is 10 o’clock in the morning and we did not even have the option to have a coffee inside or outside and we found this very very unwelcoming. Next time we come to the Broads we shall make a point of missing out Acle.

The good was excellent for the price tag. Great portions. Nice mooring by the river. Would recommend!!

Couldn’t do enough to make us comfortable. Definitely a lovely place to relax. Beautiful outside area and things doe the children to do

We tried to get into the Bridge Inn the second day of our holiday but couldn't as it was booked out. We booked for later on in the week and I was impressed by how the restaurant took on the right number of bookings, enough to ensure people felt safe, comfortable and well looked after. When finished with our meal we were able to have a nice drink outside and kids played around. Just a perfect evening.

4 of us had an enjoyable evening and meal here while moored outside, lovely staff and nice cold cider

Booked a table for the indoor reopening on Mon 17th May to eat lunch with my parents. Everything was faultless and exceptional, from the phone booking (very friendly and helpful) to the door greeting, to the lovely waitress, and the food was amazing . Really great value. Continues to be a favourite of mine even though its 45 minutes away .

Went to The Bridge Inn yesterday for lunch with my children and in-laws. We had 3 beautifully presented prawn salads, fish & chips and a child’s meal. Service was quick , attentive and a lovely friendly atmosphere!! A MUST VISIT!

Called in after mooring up at Acle Bridge after a long day travelling. Party of 11 with 3 dogs, pub was busy and all tables were full that they were serving food to but after a discussion with Shelley she managed to squeeze us in outside which was perfect. Good food, good service, lovely location, great little play park for the kids and well priced. Lovely pub which we’d gladly go back to again.. thanks Shelley

This is a great restaurant set in the picturesque Norfolk broads. There is a good size menu and fair prices. Staff work hard and are knowledgeable and polite. I would return to this restaurant !!

The service very very slow, not really busy so covid carnt be used as excuse.when the food arrived 3meals fine but mine came up steak ale pie.crust like bloody rock shame as filling tasty .I did mention to waitress she just smiled.you need to up your game or the winter will be long and quiet.hope you survive.will we visit again not for a long while.

Stopped here today, great selection of drinks woodfrobes and adnams ghost ship/wherry plus loads moreFood was great, sat in the garden. The young waiters and waitress were so helpful and friendly Great place, we will be backMake sure you stop here, you will not be disappointed

Very accommodating child and dog friendly excellent food and service fish cake salad and fish pie were especially delicious can recommend

Five of us booked for a lunchtime meal and drinks. A nice pub/restaurant with with friendly and attentive staff, including Sherry ( I think that was her name). A good selection of beers and the food was excellent. A return visit is definitely on the cards.

On our boating Norfolk Broads holiday, we planned to visit pubs along the way for our evening meal. We pre-booked and had an early reservation. The booking in was so well organised, we were taken to our table which overlooked the garden and introduced to our waitress. We were given time to look at the menu and order. I had the garlic chicken (sorry wife) and wife had a roasted vegetable pesto pasta dish. Both were extremely tasty, hot and well presented. We ordered a bottle of the house white which was only £12.95 and very nice, exceptional value for money. The staff were well trained in customer service and if we lived closer, we would definitely visit again. Well done the Bridge owners and staff.

Stopped here whilst on a Broads Boating holiday on the day indoor hospitality started.Covid rules inforced.Track and trace, masks on entry and spaced out tables.Beer garden overlooking the river. By their own admission they were short staffed but the service was speedy and no long waits.Staff friendly.Prices £10 upwards for mains.Good range of meals on the menu.Booking recommended especially in high season as its it's an ideal boating stop off.Boats have a free mooring along side the pub for 5/7 boats depending on the size.£5 for all night .Acle Bridge has a large free mooring spot about 10 minutes walk from the pub.There a hire boat yard (Bridgecraft) for water, pump out and fuel. Plus limited free mooring. 20/30 mins walk into Acle for supplies.There is a very long stretch of mooring but at £10 as its owned by another restaurant. Large car park also attached to the pub.Excellent and would recommend

Good food, great service and an excellent landlord / landlady who look after customers really well and have the guts to stand up to rude obnoxious louts - just don’t allow them in. If only all pubs were so good - no face mask - no entry ! Simple

We visited twice in one weekend whilst staying nearby for a holiday. We have always found the pub to be great for our family especially since it is dog friendly in the bar area. Since we were still unable to use inside due to Covid restrictions we were seated at an outside table. We liked our table so much on the first visit we requested it again next time. There are picnic tables under a canopy with electric heaters but these are for bookings. There are others on the grass and 3 have gazebos. There was clear signage to ensure safe movement around the pub area . Once checked in with our details taken we were shown to our table. Drinks order was quickly taken and delivered by our friendly waiter. There was a reasonable choice on the reduced menu. I had a delicious homemade steak pie with crispy short crust pastry, new potatoes and carrots. My dining companions all enjoyed their meals too. The food was well cooked and portions generous. We enjoyed our meal so much and were impressed with the systems in place that we booked to return the next day.

We were kindly accommodated without a booking and given a time to come back in a short while. The lady on the reception desk was very helpful and friendly. The table was ready when we returned. The service from Jane was extremely good and very friendly. The food was excellent, freshly prepared, well presented and delicious. Lovely riverside setting.

We came across the pub on the way past- so pleased we stopped. Extremely friendly, family run business. All Covid measures in place and followed. Very good menu- and the food was amazing. Best carbonara I’ve ever had- and it was the first day they’ve done it! Beautiful new decor which creates a lovely environment. Efficient service. The best place to go for our first post lockdown meal! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

We stopped here on our way through Acle and had a lovely lunch, the waiters/waitresses where very helpful and couldn't have been more pleasant and welcoming, lovely venue and sitting on the broads to eat lunch was a real treat.

Lights and outdoor heating when under the wooden covered area. Smooth service and food was hot! Wonderful all round. The cannelloni was amazing.

We arrived here on a chilly evening at 7.15pm and were told that they were closing in 10 minutes. That was disappointing but we accepted the situation. We gave an order for 7 drinks to a very grumpy waitress and she read them back to confirm them. The drinks were delivered with 2 missing. When we questioned this with the waiter who delivered them, he checked the receipt and said that was all we had been charged for. He then fetched one further drink and I had to go inside to get the other one myself. A cheery “ really sorry but we’re closing soon” and a competent drinks order/delivery was all we wanted.

We booked a table here for 6 people on Sunday afternoon. We were given a table under cover with a heater we could use if needed. We were welcomed and seated promptly. There was a limited menu which is totally understandable at the moment but there was more than enough choice for us. We all enjoyed our meals. The lady who served us was extremely pleasant and helpful. In fact all staff we came across were very pleasant. We will definitely be back soon.

We had a lovely meal yesterday at the Bridge, our first since lockdown finished. It was amazing. Great food, great staff (thankyou Danni) and great service. Can't wait for next visit.

Wonderful tasty food - there is something wonderful about freshly cooked pub lunch with great options for kids, veggies and chicken lovers. The cheesy garlic bread might just be the best in Norfolk. We had a lovely time and they have also catered very well for covid. The riverside location just adds to the charm. Will definitely visit again.

My husband David and I had a wonderful afternoon at the Bridge Inn Acle ! Excellent menu (and such value for money) and very effective but very discreet anti-covid measures added to the experience. Would we go back? I've already block booked my diary. Phil and Vanessa run an excellent and beautiful venue!

Blue skies. Freshly cut grass and wonderful service within a lovely patio area! Adhering to covid measures with one way systems and plenty of gels. Food was fantastic with a temporary menu but suitable and tasty for us 5. Lovely service. Felt safe during our first pub visit of 2021.Thanks Irene.

Prawn Cocktail was tasteless. Prawns obviously suspended in water for days as no texture and zero taste. Marie Rose was near-tasteless. Main course was tasty.Beer was obviously off to anyone looking from 10 miles away, yet still delivered to table. Looked like glass of foul river water. Unbelievable, and shows how you can't just buy a pub & expect it to run like it's always been run - you need EXPERIENCE. Amusements closed again. One way covid system from toilets & smoking exit not enforced by staff or owner. Really gone downhill. However, the location of this place will ensure it always survives - but you lose locals on the quiet periods of the year by serving bad beer and tasteless food, even worse not offering sincere apologies or being gracious to not charge or at least discount replacement beers, especially after you've tainted the mouths of your customers with off beer. Take a course in cellar keeping and pipe cleaning.

Went to restaurant last night, meal was absolutely delicious, plenty of it. Reasonably priced. Staff very accommodating. Recommend.

We had a fantastic Christmas dinner this evening, the stuffing was to die for the best I've ever tasted, and the Baileys cheese cake melted in your mouth.. A great pub in a beautiful location with very friendly staff.. Can't wait for summer to return to be able to sit outside and watch the boats and world go by..

We visited after a long journey for a late lunch. The setting was lovely and it’s a shame much of the outside is closed off due to current circumstances. The menu was as expected and the food was good, basic comfort pub food. I would not visit for a special occasion however for an easy pub lunch it was good. Thank you

Have been here a few times in the past and visited twice this week for a late lunch during a short pre-lockdown stay a few miles away. Pre-booked a table and explained that we had a small dog and we weren’t entirely sure how well behaved she’d be (as she’s a rescue and we hadn’t been to a pub/restaurant with her before). This wasn’t an issue and we were accommodated with a table in the corner of the restaurant at the end of the bar which meant there wouldn’t be too many distractions or other dogs in view of ours. This seemed to work well and I’m pleased to say there weren’t any issues! I had the ‘Beastburger’ (on both occasions!) which was absolutely spot on with a fresh, home cooked taste and appearance, unlike some offerings you can get in various places which look and taste deep frozen and mass manufactured. The Hunters Chicken and Lasagne were similarly excellent and went down well. The staff were friendly and efficient and all in all, both visits ticked all of our boxes. I’d have no hesitation in highly recommending The Bridge to anyone and we’ll be sure to visit again when we’re next in the area. Top marks all round despite the obvious but necessary pandemic related restrictions in place.
