The Bull in Breckland

I went to The Bull today for a Christmas lunch. The pub looked amazing with gorgeous decorations everywhere, Christmas trees and open log fires giving a great ambiance. They opened specifically for us as normally they only do Sunday lunches. The food was delicious, beautifully presented and plentiful. Everyone had a perfect Christmas experience and the service was excellent.

Absolutely good old home food grub :). Well done chef ) ! great friendly staff and a lovely wood burner in the corner , rooms are good as well even had a bath in mine which I love

Me and my wife have driven past here many times over the past years. And it never seems open. We did how ever get to go I. There last week lovey and very nice bar Staff and owner. Both had the pigeon was very lovely. Just wish it was open more as seems to be only weekends. Last time we pooped in we ordered the pigeon it was over cooked and my wife’s wine was flat and old. My pint was flat and I’m sad to say when we told the bar lady she was abrupt and rude to my wife. So sadly just one more inconsistent pub. Sad really probably why it’s all ways closed.

We had dinner here. It's a lovely traditional pub with a huge Charles I fireplace in the restaurant which is well worth seeing. The food was delicious - homemade - and the portion size was very generous (see photo). Unfortunately I didn't have room for dessert - next time I'll make sure yo be properly hungry! Highly recommended.

I went to the pub for dinner. The menu was very poor, hardly any choice. I ordered steak pie... which should be renamed as gravy pie as there was only ome tiny piece pf steak in it. The rest was just hravy. Served only with chips, no veg. Just awful

Had a lovely evening at this historic pub, food was lovely ( steak and kidney pie to die for ) atmosphere and hospitality couldn’t fault, been past so many times will definitely be going again lovely to see a village pub thriving

We stayed two nights in The Bull while attending a wedding in the area. We ate one dinner and two large breakfasts. All were excellent. Our hosts were friendly and welcoming and there was a good traditional country pub atmosphere. The accommodation was a trip back to the 1970's with its furniture and decor but was comfortable enough if a little sparse in the bathroom. We would stay again.

This is the second stay at The Bull at Litcham, it was as good as the first, Sue and her team are marvellous, nothing is to much trouble, and they are friendly polite and will do anything they can to make your stay 1st class, We had our Border Collie with us both times and he was made as welcome as us, Rooms are very nice and comfortable, Food is first class, we had wonderful Breakfasts, and Excellent evening meals, portions are excellent, and Clive is a wonderful Chef. We are going back again in November which will be our 3rd stay. Definitely top score

We stayed at this lovely Inn for a wedding nearby. Our family room was very spacious and beautifully clean and welcome. Sue was an amazing host who made us feel very warmly welcomed and at home. We had a fantastic cooked breakfast in the morning and felt we got a lot for our money. Would highly recommend.

Just visited the bull as a family of 4, food was lovely for all, I had the roast pork which was really tasty and I would definitely recommend. The ladies were lovely with our grumpy teenager!!! The service overall was excellent, very attentive and friendly and I would recommend to anyone staying locally. A gem of a village pub!!

A super little place. Very rural. very quiet, very homely. Sue, is a great host and her husband an even greater chef. Dinner is really home cooked food. No frozen pre bought stuff here. Breakfast? Fantastic! Cooked to order and 5* plus. This pub is so laid back and homely. Nothing is too much trouble. Even gave us fresh milk for our in room tea & coffee. If you want a simple , quiet, relaxing overnight stay, this is the place. Well done and thank you for a very very pleasant 2 night stay.

First time visit but had a lovely friendly experience staff were excellent friendly and polite and couldn't do enough to help for my group of 6 The pubs very clean and an old fashioned village pub which so many pubs now miss. The food was suberb freshly cooked hot and very nicely presented and plenty off it .The steak in the pie was very tender and the shortcrust pastry was mouthwatering delicious can't complain about the food or the pub The table was ours for the evening

Absolutely brilliant place to stay, clean, tidy, friendly staff and owners, great food and beer and at a sensible price!! Would highly recommend it and will definitely be going back to stay!!

Excellent meal at The Bull 30th June. Very clean restaurant, staff really friendly and service excellent, Great choice of food all home made & all of our 3 meals were really tasty. Would definitely recommend. Great to see a pub/restaurant so busy.

What a fabulous Pub and Restaurant. Food is wonderful. Cooked superbly and tastes excellent. Very good size portions. Prices are very reasonable. Excellent service from owners and staff. I would recommend this place. My nephew and his wife live nearby and took me for evening meal. I loved it

The staff were very helpful, friendly and welcoming. We were staying in a property not too far from The Bull and decided to eat here on our first night. The food and service was excellent, the staff asked 2 or 3 times if everything was ok making sure we were happy. We were thinking of booking for Sunday lunch, unfortunately, we didn't have the chance to eat here again due to issues with the property we had booked and had to head home the next day. I recommend the food here.

We are not prolific reviewers but felt it was time to mention our experiences at The Bull. We have been eating an evening meal here, two or three times a year when in north Norfolk for the past three or four years. We have yet to be disappointed ! Great menu with both traditional dishes and other cuisines. So, last night we had steak and kIdney pie and a sirlion steak, cooked to perfection - thank you and thank you again for not changing anything and maintaining the standard, very happy diners.

Dined here three nights on the run food exceptionally excellent on each night.Staying at Great Dunham for a week,just wish this was my local as the service and welcome was great.Fantasic open fire,very dog friendly and the regulars made us feel at home.If we come back to this part of Norfolk we would not hesitate to visit The Bull at Litcham

This was our first visit to Litcham & stay at The Bull. A very quaint & pretty village with the Bull Pub being very much the hub. We had a great stay, very clean & cosy comfortable room, evening meal and breakfast - very tasty good traditional pub grub. Really lovely atmosphere created by Sue & Clive, the friendliest proprietors you will ever meet. Thank you again we hope to be back soon.

Stayed for 5 nights. Quiet,comfortable bedroom,nice bathroom. And more than enough tea and coffee making equipment,also bottle water. Breakfast was lovely and Plenty of choice. Came with my cousin's wife. To see my family. There is so much to do,within a few miles. We went to Langham Glass highly recommend,show you glass blowing ect. We are hoping to come back to the Bull next year. Recommend.👍

We visited Litcham in June for a week’s holiday and to attend a wedding. We self cater and normally only eat out once or twice in the evening. On our first night we discovered the Bull Inn. Apart from the wedding and a fish meal at Wells-next—the-Sea we ate at the Bull every night. A little bit of a wait for food but as it’s freshly cooked to order by Clive we didn’t mind the wait. Very reasonably priced. Generous portions. Beautifully fresh vegetables. Comfortable environment and a bar managed and efficiently run by Liz and her team. If it wasn’t 370 miles away we’d be back again and again.

We met up with friends who are lucky enough to have this lovely pub as their local. Sue is a great front of house and husband Clive does the cooking assisted by friendly servers, proper traditional pub food, delicious and plentiful. We all went for the roasts which were as close to home made as I have ever tasted. Somehow we made room for dessert which were all homemade and tasty. In a county where traditional pubs like this are vast becoming food led pretentious gastropubs, this fab local is a rare find.

After a day walking in Norfolk we needed a substantial meal, and The Bull did not disappoint. Very generous portions of home-made steak and kidney pie - large chunks of tender steak and kidney, in rich gravy and deep shortcrust pastry - and sausage and...

We are staying nearby and fancied a Sunday Roast but without the cooking and washing up, we ordered two Dinners for takeout, having 3 large dogs they do take up quite alot of space, the covid rules all adhered too, food was really well packed...

Very pleasant pub for an evening meal. We had been here for Sunday lunch so wanted to try an evening meal. We wasn’t disappointed either.

Popped up the road to Litcham from Fakenham called in on the off chance of a Sunday roast and wasn't disappointed, lovely roast, atmosphere and friendly staff, and very clean too, a must

Stopped for a meal with friends after passing through the village earlier. Had a great welcome. Not a bistro pub but clean and tidy and fresh well prepared food from a good menu. Good beers available. We were staying nearby and plan to return again as we are so close. Reasonable prices and a good atmosphere.

Pleasant local pub by the village green serving local ales plus GF options. Extensive, varied menu.I asked if they could cater for me as I'm Coeliac. The chef was very knowledgeable, explaining how she could provide plenty of GF options, then checking all the condiments just in case.An enjoyable, relaxed meal.

We booked the day beforehand. Had a really good pub lunch here at The Bull, Litcham. Excellent service. Top class pub food. Warm (nice open fire), cheerful atmosphere. Friendly and although busy we were treated as individuals and made to feel welcome. Thoroughly recommend this pub.

Visited the Bull for the 2nd time, in less than 2 weeks, it's 25miles from home but worth the trip.The Menu is eclectic to say the least, lots of British favourites, mixed up with exotica, not on the same plate.The Steak and Kidney pie is OUTSTANDING, beautifully made.You won't go hungry eating here, the portions are more than ample, I was struggling to eat the last few mouthfuls, but it was so good, it was going to be eaten.There's a good selection of beers and ciders. The beer I had was from the Wolf Brewery, it was entitled "Worth the Wait".It was.Thoroughly recommended.

8 of us descended on the Bull last Sunday and I felt I had to leave a review as we had the most wonderful time. We had starters, main course desert and coffee and there was not a single complaint about anything ..... not even a niggle.

A group of 4 of us ate here as we were looking for a village pub in this area and The Bull was in just the right place. I’d highly recommend it. The reception was very friendly and the ambience everything you could hope for from a good local pub. The beer was well kept. There was a varied menu and the cooking, although not fancy, was very competent and all the dishes we had were very enjoyable. I had goat cheese and walnut salad to start and steak and kidney pie as a main course - both ample portions and delicious. There was a small but good wine list. Prices were very reasonable. Would definitely return.

A lovely welcoming local pub, with great food and efficient bar staff. It's pub grub, but all done to an excellent standard - particularly the fish and chips and home-made pies!

Love this place for the atmosphere, the people, the beer and least not the food Clive's Pie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Needs no words as its legendary Bread and butter pudding is superb and in fact everything is superb Love eating and drinking here

Went for my dads 80th birthday meal, the food was excellent, good value for money and the staff were all very friendly would recommend. Thank you

My friends have just moved to the area so we went for Sunday lunch to save cooking and we were not disappointed. We all had the whitebait starter which was lovely and just as it should be. We then had the beef roasts and 2 had Nut roast and this was served with lovely fresh vegetable of broad beans, carrots and cabbage as well as roast potatoes and a huge homemade Yorkshire. We managed deserts and these did not disappoint either. A great atmosphere and lovely staff and could not ask for more and we will be back

I come to Litcham for business and I stay here every time I come! I love this place; the food is great and the portions are huge. Everyone who works here are very friendly and accommodating! Would recommend this place to anyone! A home from home!

Despite being the only four people in the restaurant, we had a wonderful evening meal. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was super, very hot. My steak, kidney & mushroom pie was to die for. Try it.

Visited Norfolk from the 29th July to 5th August 2017 and went to this lovely pub twice. It had a nice friendly atmosphere from both the staff and the locals. Our first visit was just the 3 of us and the food was lovely. I had the rib eye which was cooked fresh and tasty. My wife had the pork roast which again was cooked fresh and tasty and my daughter had chicken nuggets. As my daughter suffers with a peanut allergy we were assured they don't use anything connected to peanuts which was a blessing.

No puedes, pero no como los toros! Litcham La comida es exquisitamente cocinada para ti recién preparada por Clive el propietario conjunta con Sue la casera. El personal es excelente y muy amable y nada es demasiado, y el servicio es inigualable. Algunas de la comida es un poco cara, que es algo que tendrá que mantener un ojo en, pero aparte de eso nos encanta ir allí como nuestro pub local es por desgracia no hasta la marca, sólo desearía que fuera otro 6,5 km más cerca! Con la atracción de grandes disposiciones familia de alojamiento, así que me dicen que es excelente y extremadamente cómodo es sin duda vale la pena una visita, no te decepcionará.

My wife and I dropped in for dinner. Both had fish, mine evening special with mushy peas, tasty. My wife's sea bass with potatoes and veg very tasty. Good service, good value, good honest out food. Worth a return visit.

We were staying in near by Beeston we stopped after driving past this quaint lovely pub friendly staff and locals Our Sunday lunch was lovely with large portions

Fuimos en una noche de jueves de la semana pasada. Cuando llegamos, el pub estaba bastante vacío, pero nos dieron un asiento cerca del fuego. Por suerte luego poner nuestros pedidos y vinieron muy rápidamente. Yo diría que en menos de 30 minutos de llegar el pub estaba estaba abarrotada. Nuestra comida llegó poco después, pero yo me imaginé si pedías cuando había mucha gente que iba a tomar un tiempo para venir ya que había sólo dos personas en frente de la casa. Tuve la salchicha y puré al igual que mi esposa. Fue muy agradable, me pareció que venía con budín de Yorkshire, pero no podía llegar al menú que está en la pared para comprobar como estaba tan lleno, pero lo que no me preocupó demasiado. El tamaño de la porción no era la más grande, pero para alguien con un promedio de apetito estaría bien. Un montón de cosas en el menú parecía caro pero la salchicha y puré fue menos de £10 y comida de mi hijo era gratuito, que era bueno. No hay mucho más en el área de lo que vi, pero era un buen lugar y la comida era buena, así que volvería de nuevo, pero asegúrate que llegué temprano.

Popped in here for a quick and tasty Plowman's lunch as I was working in the area. A nice old pub with an open fire in the room, giving a pleasant atmosphere.

A very friendly pub with a welcoming log fire. Good service and home cooked food. Our nearest local so we eat there fairly regularly. Good value for money.

Fabulosa cena de 3 platos de navidad, bien cocinada y abundante, muy buen servicio y ambiente acogedor

La noche del miércoles es la noche de curry, recibido con una cálida bienvenida y una chimenea crepitante. La hospitalidad no se puede quejar. Pedimos nuestras comidas todo servido con arroz y papdoms, fantástico. Tanto yo como mi compañero y la izquierda el toro muy satisfecho un par de copas 2 curry por menos de 40. 00. Altamente recomendado, un poco de la ruta habitual. Vale la pena una muy primera visita, le puedo asegurar que no será su última cuando.

I visited here after work to meet up with a friend and have a bite as I had drove past many times and wondered what it was like. Fortunately it is convenient to my friend and me in terms of work and homes, so booked up.There is plenty to chose from on the menu board. I always order whitebait if its available and that was great. Another no-brainer is if steak and kidney pie is on the menu, which it was. The pie looked good, but I won't be ordering it again as the kidney turned out to be mushrooms, which I would never eat and didn't. My friend had the whitebait too and had a roast, which looked good and he enjoyed. We both then had deserts and tea and coffee. The portions were generous. If your really hungry you won't be disappointed. The service is warm and friendly and the atmosphere is great as it's a really old building. Car park would benefit from a bit more lighting. Definitely going back again. Unfortunately won't be ordering my favourite pie though!

Quiet cute and cosy inside with good beer. The barmaid didn't get me the beer I ordered and the food was average seemed as if it was pre cooked and warmed up. We were offered and ordered mushy peas but got garden peas.

After a 4 hour car journey we were desperate to find a pub nearby that served lunch. This was the first we came across and what a quaint little gem. Gorgeous food at great value and lovely peaceful country village setting. Would definitely reccomend coming here!

we came here last year and were impressed so decided to try it again even though its half an hour away. We were not wrong to go again a lovely meal for seven of us. The staff were attentive and helpful the steak and kidney pie was lovely and desserts were gorgeous too

Went here with some relatives. Although the welcome was a little weak, the food was freshly cooked & tasted delicious.For 4 adults with 2 courses each, mains & desserts, soft drinks, two glasses of wine & one Irish coffee, £87 is a reasonable cost.

This pub may be I the middle of a refurbishment. There was a skip in the car park and a picture on the wall still had clingfilm wrap on.I liked the fact that this is still very much a traditional English pub. No frills. Like stepping back I time. I wasn't convinced about the choice of music (Celine Dion) but that's down to personal choiceSome items of the menu seemed a bit pricey. Both hubby and I opted for a ploughman's lunch. It was very traditional and basic. I enjoyed mine, hubby was less impressed.The staff were friendly.This wasn't a pub that made me want to come back but I couldn't quite say why. I saw in a previous comment that the car park was a bit tatty. It still is. We nearly didn't go in because of this.

Called in on our way back to Kings Lynn. The car park was very untidy, and after parking we had to walk past the kitchen which had a lot of empty cardboards boxes etc outside.Clean inside, one real ale on the pump. reasonable menu but we decided to skip having a meal. Staff friendly.Good location, and appeared to be busy,

I'd previously had an awful meal here so I was anxious when a friend suggested it for a lunchtime catchup, however I'm so pleased I gave it another go....A warm friendly welcome, a varied and interesting menu greeted us and things got better and better. We ordered the fresh Cromer crab which was outstanding and dessert whilst still a bit "nan" inspired was lovely and the portion was generous! It was certainly a very different pub to the one I experienced a couple of months ago, whether evening/lunch is the difference I'm not sure but I'll definitely be back!!!

During a recent visit to a sunny and hot North Norfolk we tried the Bull Litcham. It is what it says on the tin, a pub. Good honest simple pub grub, lovely friendly staff, polite and helpful. Food took a while to come out but cooked fresh and tasty, so didn't mind the wait. Dog friendly in the bar, always a plus.

After flying 10 hours and driving 3 more, we met family for dinner at The Bull. Had been here 3 years ago and wanted to come back. Newly remodeled the place looks great and has retained the ambiance of a Pub. The food was served fresh, hot and fast and was very large portions. The scampi were especially nice. Servers were very friendly. Dessert selections were a perfect ending to our meal. Looking forward to our next family reunion at The Bull.

Paging through the visitor's book in our self catering cottage we noticed The Bull come up a few times and decided to give it a try on our last night in Norfolk. What a find...A traditional pub with friendly staff, interesting menu and delicious food!Don't be put off by the exterior. Inside you find a good old fashioned, nothing fancy, down to earth, warm and welcoming environment. Lovely family atmosphere shared by locals and visitors alike, including a "last night of freedom before the wedding" table of 8/10 men, two youngsters playing a board game with not an electronic device in sight, and the landlady trying her hand at some matchmaking.We had a lovely evening - thank you.

A group of friends decided The Bull was just the place to catch up over a meal. The signs weren't good from the start- a audience as we got out of the car and a definite quietening of the bar as we walked in. We decided to skip the bar and head straight for the table.The menu was a chalk board propped on a chair....bring your glasses or a magnifying glass. The menu is less than inspiring as its literally the title and no detail. A far bit was sold out and £3.25 for a jug of sauce seemed a little OTT. We opted to give the starters a miss in the hope that the desserts would be better. When the food delivered it looked basic to say the least, nothing to dress it up a bit and make it look attractive. It all tasted ok but no more than that...be warned the scampi comes with an absolute mountain of dull green peas! The dessert list was overly inspirational either but we gave it a go. It was bought to the table served like your nan has dished it up and one order didn't turn up at all. Cheese and biscuits is remenistent of aeroplane food, complete with packets of butter. The whole thing was very home-like in the least positive way! The bill even came with payment options/varying total amounts depending on your method of payment. We won't be returning, the room and bar was so loud that hearing each other was impossible, the service was variable and involved daring to go back to the bar to be stared at if you wanted a drink. And to leave, you have to dodge the staff out the back smoking...

Cosy bar. Attentive staff. Menu basic. Food nothing special. Roast was school dinner rather than restaurant quality. It's been a long time since I had a desert served up on a tea plate with large dollop of cheap tasting ice cream, which had been scraped out of the tub with a spoon and laid over the pie, rather than a scoop/ball of ice cream. Food lacked presentation skills and flavour. Reminded me of basic uninspiring meals of the 70's. Lemon meringue pie tasted watery and no flavour, like it had been frozen.

We were walking the Nar Valley Way and wanted a pub lunch. The Bull is perfect. It is an old coaching inn which has a public bar with an inglenook fireplace and a smarter restaurant, also with a beautiful inglenook. The bar has twelve (yes, 12) beers on tap and we enjoyed those which we tried. The public bar inglenook had a fire blazing away, very welcoming. Both rooms have oak beams and the ambience is excellentThere is a wide selection of sandwiches, all served with green salad and the most perfect chips; crisp on the outside and fluffy inside. The soup of the day (which changes every day) was beef and vegetable broth served with warm crispy rolls, just what was needed after a brisk autumn walk.The main menu looked to be extensive and we will return for a "proper" meal before long. If it's as good as the bar snacks it will be excellent.

The Bull Inn at Litcham is a welcoming family run pub in a typical West Norfolk village.We dined as a family one Friday evening. The bar has a wide selection of real ales, with an innovative wall of mini-casks offering a great selection of regional and national beers.The dinner menu is absolutely vast - too large, in fact - as there are more than enough good dishes that use local produce. The breadth of the menu suggests that a lot of ingredients aren't fresh, so I'd suggest sticking to the regularly updated specials board.Good value, attentive service from the landlady and her employees and good place to enjoy a pint of real ale.

Staying locally decided to try the pub to eat tonight and had already checked out the reviews on here first naturally. All the food was listed on boards but I had already been drawn to Clive's famous Steak and Kidney pie. Now I know why it is famous. It is definitely the best I have ever had! Lovely rich gravy and gorgeous suet crust with choice of potatoes and veg and generous portions too. My husband had the 10oz gammon steak with chips, mushrooms and two fried eggs!He said the gammon was lovely and it was about half an inch thick and cooked just right. Loads of local beers for those who like a good beer as well and locals welcoming.Good evening had by both of us - oh and a discount if you pay by cash!

We ate at The Bull while staying at the delightful B & B, Litcham Hall, just down the road. We had a warm welcome and a delightful meal in pleasant surroundings. The Bull has a very delightful atmosphere and friendly staff, together with a good menu of local produce. Excelent pub food, well-cooked to order. With the sun shining and Pimms on special, the evening went with a swing! This is the sort of pub we all wish we lived near.

We arrived just after lunchtime service had finished, so we asked if we could buy from the Bar Menu and the staff were more than happy to serve us although the kitchen had closed. While we waited for our food we sampled some of the many real ales I like " Worth the Wait" a Beeston Brewery Ale then Reed Cutter a Humpy Dumpy Brew both very nice, they also sell bottled beers from other Countries. As we had Bar meals I'm unable to comment on the Sunday Roasts but our food was very nice with areasonable price, as I paid by cash I was given a 5 o/o discount, I thought that was a nice touch as they didn't have to do it. The Pub itself is a typical old Country Pub with low door frames and beams and a wood burner in the fireplace, it our type of pub cosy, the decor is clean and fresh as are the toilets. The evening Menu looked extensive with a lot of choice, it made me want to go back, so if you live in the Dereham Swaffham Fakenham area and can't decide where to go for a change try the Bull at Litcham it's worth the short drive... Ray & Nikki S Norfolk England

Went with 2 pals one evening, not booked but made very welcome by the landlady. slightly difficult to order drinks at the bar as all the locals sit in front of it and seem to resent diners trying to read the menu boards or push past to order drinks, however the bar staff took our order to one side of the bar and we sat to decide on what to eat. The food was served swiftly, home made steak and kidney was a real star, as was liver and bacon. Really good value, good beer and sensibly priced wine with a better than usual choice. Just train the regular drinkers to be a little more accommodating and it will be nearly perfect.

I just want to point out that the picture at the top of the page and the website link both relate to a completely different pub in another county.

Had some friends visiting and decided to try the Bull for Sunday lunch. Nice interior. Starters arrived at different times so half of us had eaten before some had arrived. All of us chose the roast. The veg was very over-cooked, the yorkshires were rock hard and the potatoes felt like they'd been cooked a good while before and warmed up - very poor meal. I felt embarrassed as we'd brought friends and had high hopes. Staff seemed a bit apathetic, service fairly dire, no-one seemed bothered about the delay - to experience such shabby service when the pub was almost empty was surprising. obviously not too concerned about getting repeat business. We're local and will definitely not be returning.

Nice enough pub with friendly staff but the Sunday roast was really quite disappointing.We booked for a late slot and this may have contributed to the over cooked feel of the meals. The roasts arrived already plated up, rather than having the veg separate so there is no opportunity to pick which items you want with your meal. The veg itself was very stewed, the yorkshires were exceptionally hard and although the meat content of my steak and kidney pie was tasty the crust was difficult to cut! This whole meal had a rather "old fashioned" cafe feel about it rather than what I would have envisaged when looking for a carvery type Sunday lunch. The pricing was as I'd expect, however the fact that there is a 5% discount for cash isn't really mentioned on the web-site so I didn't pop to a cashpoint before as I would have done if I'd known. (In reality this type of pricing structure is more a surcharge for using a card rather than a discount to my mind)The main menu looks quite interesting and maybe we caught it on a bad day but unfortunately we won't be racing back to find out.

We have just moved to Norfolk having lived in France for many years. One thing was immediately apparent to us, the sad demise of village pubs both in terms of numbers and quality.The Bull, in our neighbouring village is therefore a real delight for us. Beautifully restored, not themed by a pub chain, the Bull offers a vast selection of real ales including Beeston Brewery's first class bitter in a warm, inviting atmosphere. Sue, the landlady works hard up front, whilst her husband Clive prepares the excellent wholesome fare featured on the quite extensive menu. Great quality, good selection, lovely atmosphere all at reasonable prices. This place deserves to be well supported.

I have lived in this area for 7 years. The Bull had such a poor reputation We never went in. I had heard some good reports about the new owners. So we paid a visit. It is a wonderful building and has not been over modernised inside and it still feels original with the outside. I had a first class pint of Beeston Brewery " Worth the Wait". and proper pub food. Well prepared and good value .I would not hesitate to recomend The Bull and we are so pleased to have a proper pub so near.

Excellent village pub serving up good home cooked food in a beautiful setting. Two log fires in the winter, good beers and wines. Litcham is a lovely village to visit too.

The local pub was within walking distance, which was a bonus. We were very welcome. One meal was OK but my steak and kidney pie was very chewy. We decided to drive the next night

Off to France in the morning fancied a good meal before we went... Excellent, the food was cooked lovely, service great and real ales aplenty HIghly recommended

For years the best Sunday roast round here was to be had in North Elmham until the couple who ran that restaurant/pub moved here. Slightly further to go (for us) but still so excellent and one of if not *the* best meals round here. Portions are slightly down - thank goodness, no more groaning stomach - and this is now a more sophisticated waitress-served lunch rather than a buffet. I personally missed the swedes (and the option for all three of roast beef, roast pork and steak and kidney pie!!) but the main thing is, this is lovely grub. How they do such wonderful roast potatoes in quantity and melt-in-the-mouth cracking beats me. All the staff are quick and helpful, my partner's missing stuffing and crackling turned up seconds after she tried to steal mine - unsuccessfully, I might add.

I had visited that The Bull on sunday beautiful sunny day (I know) and there was a lovely waitress, (one those gorgeous ESSEX girls, we loved her nails) my mate had burger and i had sea bas coconut (my stomach didn`t like it). The atmosphere was good very friendly. Recommended.
