The Burston Crown in South Norfolk

Ended up nearby by chance one lunchtime with a couple who lived not far away. Fancied a pint and a basic pub meal for 4 of us. The pint was ok. sure which brew. Not many people in. Maybe 12-15, not all eating. We asked for food. The bar maid, who wasn't the landlady, sucked in her breath and told us apologetically, that there was about a 30 minute wait for food. We asked if we could have chips in less than 30 minutes. But it was like we'd asked for a complex meal So, no food. Had to go elsewhere!

Sensational pub, wonderful service, lovely clean toilets, excellent food. Staff couldn't have been more pleasant. Would highly recommend :)

Lovely little pub, food was great, happily come again!

Great family run pub. Had the burston burger and it was amazing, very filling and cooked perfectly would highly recommend. The Guinness is bang on. Hard to find a good Guinness but was a 10/10 would defo recommend and the staff are lovely :)

Since being taken over, the food is incredible, really good pint and the staff are very friendly. Always feel welcome. Highly recommend

Meal was horrible burnt fries worst meal ever had

A great time at the burston crown last week, really enjoyed the steak and cheese flatbread. Fairly good portion sizes, was a nice day to sit outside and enjoy a few drinks, lovely scenery and a cute little village!

Worst roast I have ever had. Beef was dry couldn’t even cut it, says broccoli with it but didn’t get any, half a floret of cauliflower, had whole cloves in it which tasted like aniseed couldn’t even eat it after tasting that, potatoes crispy on outside but raw in the middle. Lemonade was off, order 2 cokes one normal and one diet and they couldn’t tell them apart. Complained to the waitress and she took the plates and didn’t even apologise. It was truly disgusting & I feel rotten now. Worst money Iv ever spent. I would give it 0 stars but that’s not an option

We stayed at a nearby cottage a few weeks ago and the chef kindly squeezed us into a themed Indian cuisine night. What wonderful pub and the food that night and another night we are there was just incredible. He made everything from scratch. The staff were wonderful too. Thank you for making our wedding anniversary so special!

Great food and atmosphere with a nice beer garden which is very well decorated. Good selection of drinks as well for everyone

Excellent village pub with 3 real ales. I had Humpty Dumpty swallowtail. Quality beer. Highly Recommended.

Great food, service and value, will definitely be back 👍👍

Lovely pub with nice meals to eat inside or outside. Great service.

Nice pub with juce food in a beautiful village.

Perfect little village pub for a Sunday lunch. My partner and I thought the portions were really good and the atmosphere was lovely.

Nice country pub with good parking, extensive menu inc pub classics and specials

Thank you one and all for accommodating a fairly talkative party of people for my 80th celebration gathering yesterday The food, staff and ambience were superb. We will definitely recommend the Crown. Loved it.

Nice warm country pub, slightly limited choice of drinks and a bit pricey.

Enjoyed a nice lunch with friends. Couldn't fault the food or service. Ale selection is fairly limited.

Simply one of the best roast beef dinners I have ever had, and I have had a fair few. Great food, good beer and a nice place overall. Highly recommended.

Bloody marvellous! Second time in 2 months…. We don’t live Nearby but advise anyone to stop by here for food. Proper food, no ultra-processed rubbish. No sign of those chips coming out of bag! Have a nice Prosecco in a nice tall glass. (Most Prosecco awful everywhere but here they really have a good one) Nice wines by glass and also hand-pull ales. Friendly team and super clean place. Immaculate. It’s a little out in the sticks… so please everybody go here and keep it going… would be an awful loss if didn’t survive due to lack of customers from surrounding area 😁 Wonderful and 6 stars out of 5 🌟

What a cute little find this was! We we’re going to Norwich from Essex and wanted to stop for lunch along the way. Found this little place on google and after reading the reviews, we booked a table. The reviews were right- food was beautiful. Even my (fussy) children liked it. The pub itself is adorably cute with a lovely outside space. The atmosphere was so relaxing and the staff were friendly, polite and attentive. If it was more local to us we would be here every week. I love this pub!

I hadn't been there for quite some time and was invited to a quiz night . The people who served behind the bar and the staff who served food were all very efficient and nothing was to much trouble. I had a brilliant evening and the food was excellent just like the beer , a great place to spend time with friends and relax I will definitely be going there again

A wonderful local pub. The food was delicious and servings were generous. It's a family place so there may be noisy children around.

Beautiful country pub , very well kept and lovely friendly staff , the Sunday lunches are to die for , absolutely beautiful

Lovely food, great service and a wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommended.

We had to wait along while between courses and a 20 minute wait before our food order was taken. The food was lovely though. We weer

Lovely meal, all the food was delicious and the staff were very helpful and accommodating.

Excellent food and the outdoor dining area was perfect. Just enough room to keep you dry in a summer shower. And the staff go above and beyond when it's raining.

Wonderful place. Amazing food, great beer, and charming service! Thank you for a lovely pint! Do go!!! 😍

What a lovely place. We had a Sunday roast and it may well have been the best I have ever had. The beef brisket that came with the slice of broiled beef was to die for and there were huge amounts of flavourful veg and gravy. We also enjoyed some yummy desserts. Absolutely delicious!

Genuine country pub. Excellent food and beer. Well worth a visit.

Very kind and cooked a hot meal for us e en @ 9.00pm

Lovely place and good food and drink

Food wasn't great. It was BBQ night but seemed like it was microwaved to reheat. Service was very friendly.

First time at Burston Crown. So impressed, food hot and not overcooked. Lovely staff and atmosphere. Definitely be back. Thank you.

Went on a Friday which was their BBQ menu and it did not disappoint. Booked a table as the weather was nice the staff reserved table both indoors and out so we could choose. The pub is set back from the road so you can't hear any traffic passing through. We didn't have to wait long to be served. Lots of local craft and imported drinks on tap. As the BBQ was already going out food was served within 10mins. All fresh produce cooked perfectly and presented really well. The staff were really friendly making sure everyone was catered for. The food was very reasonable priced and we will definitely be making this one of our regular out spots.

Lovely food great value for money..

Delicious posh fish finger baguette for lunch. Great service, really nice atmosphere and food was perfect.

Lovely traditional looking pub. Only downside was the limited menu choices. We would return as the atmosphere was very comfortable.

Stopped here to meet a friend for lunch. Very nice pub inside and out. Food lovely, we had Sunday lunch and they have a great, comfortable seating area at the front with sofas and individual seating. Was a lovely warm Sunday when we were there.

Had the roast a few weeks ago and honestly all I can say is woww!! the beef was tender and falling apart, potatoes crispy on the outside and fluffy inside, just everything on the plate was 10/10 even the vegetables which I don’t really eat can’t wait to come back and try again 😍

Excellent lunch, polite helpful staff. Definitely recommend the fish and chips

Called in at lunchtime to try the 2 x fish and chips for £25. Was delicious and homemade tartare sauce a lovely extra. Super friendly staff. Thank you.

The fish and chips where to die for,fab new team. Thanks for lovely evening. Sally and Dave

Waitress service good, main course average, desert great. But overcharged us - luckily we noticed

I had d the best Sunday roast ever will definitely be back for more 😃 The new owners are very welcoming and personally great you with a smile. THANK YOU.

Visited here from Essex, wonderful food, very good sized portions, very friendly staff, highly recommend

Waste of time asking for takeaway on Sundays - they just can’t be bothered

Fabulous food in this country pub with a beautiful garden under new ownership. Menu is varied with traditional pub fare and something’s a little different. Highly recommended is the Wasabi Cod and the fully loaded burgers. The desserts are really delicious we had the yoghurt panna cotta and the white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake. Will definitely be visiting regularly.

Great pub, great food, lovely staff 😀

Great food and great service. Sticky toffee pudding is probably the best in the country!!!!!!!

Absolutely delicious meals enjoyed by everyone, incredibly friendly staff and a very cozy atmosphere. We hope to be back soon!

A truly magnificent place to relax, eat delicious food and enjoy the company of the hospitality that The Burston Crown offers you It's a little gem 💎 ✨️ 💖 💕

SO good!!! Just had a birthday lunch here (seems to be the spot to celebrate as there were three other sets of customers having a birthday lunch at the same time). From the warm and friendly welcome to the first delicious mouthful of food - we knew we were onto a winner and were already talking about who we would bring back on future occasions. The menu was perfect with a good choice for those who want to perhaps experiment with some new flavours and combinations to the time honoured classic of beer battered fish and chips (Adnams of course😉) or home made beef burger and chips. This is a pub restaurant that publicly supports local produce and suppliers and one that I would definitely recommend and look forward to revisiting. BTW, if you are a fan of sticky toffee pudding - you won't be disappointed!

Really excellent food in a lovely pub

Great country pub, dogs very welcome. Delicious Sunday lunch. Great roast beef for me, burgers for some others rated excellent and the veggie Wellington was delicious.

What a lovely find! Great food,Great staff,Great big fire!! And even allowed us to take my mother in law inside!! Don't pass it by.

Great food and staff were really friendly and attentive.

Amazing food, great company, friendly staff

Fantastic meal. Great experience. Highly recommend!

Really lovely pub, very dog friendly. I had the chowder and it was amazing!!

Quality food at a reasonable price in a very friendly and homely village pub.

Lovely meal as usual. Great service and lovely surroundings. Thanks and good luck. Xx

Not a bad pub to stop at. Staff are friendly, good atmosphere.

Very nice meal and friendly service

We dined at Burston Crown for the first time yesterday evening. It was amazing, fabulous food, great service and a wonderful ambiance. An excellent selection of ales and lagers. Will definitely be back.

A great place for a Sunday lunch, but recommend booking as it can be busy. Friendly staff and a nice relaxed pub.

Bev and the team are always friendly and provide excellent service

Friendly staff and lovely food. Surroundings and car parking good. Best of all we could take our dogs.

Really enjoyed the experience. The food was exceptional and a treat for the last day of our break. Only wished we had found it sooner so we could have tried more form the menu - great to come across hosts who understand great food and staff who extend a personal service. A find we will be back to!

Had a great time friendly staff. Can't wait to visit again

Last minute choice for Sunday lunch with my with. Called ahead and they kindly accommodated us. Had the roast beef Absolutely superb, well presented, great service and reasonable price. Worth the visit and will do so again.

Good place for Sunday lunch. Food was well prepared... Good produce used and well cooked... we had a good time here and the service was good

What a fantastic pub. We booked ahead requesting a table outside in the shade as one of our group is still shielding and needs to avoid sunlight. We were offered a beach hut. When we arrived we were told they weren't using the beach huts due to the exceptionally hot weather - we agreed it would have been very uncomfortable. They went out of their way to accommodate us, moving tables around so that we could be outside in the shade. Welcoming, friendly, helpful staff. Very much appreciated. We had a wonderful lunch, great service and a lovely atmosphere. We're not surprised it's popular. We very much hope to be back.

Superb rural pub. Good selection of beers. The food is superb!!

Food is amazing. Was a really nice atmosphere. Definitely worth stopping here

Recently visited for lunch with my friend and our two children. The waitress was very helpful and attentive. Lovely outdoor area with plenty of space and under cover area to eat and for the children to toddle around. Beautiful building, nice inside although a little dark. The food was really tasty, but there was only one option for vegans. Luckily the one option was absolutely delicious, but it means I wouldn’t return so soon knowing there’s nothing else on the menu suitable for me.

This is a really beautiful pub and the food is outstanding. The staff are really lovely and the dogs were made very welcome. Thoroughly recommended.

Nice outdoor seating, food and staff.

Great food with interesting service!

Delicious home cooked food and creative with it. Beverley the manager really cares and is genuinely friendly. Delightful location.

Probably one of the best food pubs in the area, you’ll find Bev and Steve have made a great place for you too enjoy and drink and a bite to eat. The menu has dishes that would rival any top restaurant, so you won’t be disappointed; all served with some top wine or a locally brewed beer.

We came across the Burston Crown while travelling home, and we're so glad that we did. The best Sunday roast we have had for a long long time. The food was delicious the service superb and all in a lovely location. Highly recommended. Stephen, Carol, and Helen Moggridge

Lovely Sunday roast, everything cooked to perfection and a very hearty meal indeed. The staff are friendly, hardworking and go the extra mile and always welcome you in with a big smile on their faces. Absolutely nothing to fault whatsoever. Would highly recommend.

This is the first time l have been here to burston crown What a great place Staff very friendly and helpful Food was excellent Sitting outside in the garden for a great meal of freshly cooked fish and chips Followed by cheesecake Thank you We will return

Really enjoyed this place. We had Saturday evening dinner here. It's hard to make up your mind when the menu is so imaginative and enticing. I went for Tempura Battered Tiger Prawns in a Sweet Chilli Sauce followed by one of my favourite dishes, Smoked Haddock Chowder with Saffron & Spring Onions. My partner went for Grilled Asparagus with Creamed Goat's Cheese, and the best choice of the evening - enthusiastically recommended by the table next to us - Moroccan Chicken Filo Pastry Pie with Broccoli & Almonds. Spectacular! Best of all, the staff were so efficient, speedy, enthusiastic... and fun. Thoroughly recommended!

Amazing food and amazing people!

Great day at the beer, bike and band charity day.

Great food, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and a roaring log fire even though it was the end of April. A local favourite place to go.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff

Checked local area for best place for nice roast dinner and reviews were not wrong so pleased we were able to have lunch here staff were very welcoming and having booked just 30 minutes before arrival all was ready for us . They have beach huts in the garden for groups up to 6 it was very nice sitting in the sun out of the breeze very relaxing young lady took our drinks order and shortly after order for food , we both had the Roast Beef and it was excellent value for money and the vegetables were well prepared as well and good portions , the whole meal was very nice and even the drinks were good price unlike some pubs who charge over the top on drinks . Would recommend this restaurant for a meal if you are in the area you will not be disappointed by service or food

Amazing little pub, fantastic food and service.

Serves very good local food. Staff friendly and helpful. Lovely outside space to sit in.disapointed with toilet facility - only one "ladies"

The food was great, the hospitality as brilliant as usual, and the creative ways of raising funds for Ukraine inspiring. A fabulous pub.

Fabulous pub. Popped in for a weekday lunch which was delicious. Good quality local produce used. Very warm and welcoming staff.

Fabulous country pub with excellent food

Really friendly and wonderful atmosphere def go again.

Lovely lunch at a dog friendly pub that also can swap items for gluten free items which is a bonus. Sunday lunch was large and tasty and the staff were lovely. Highly recommend

Beautiful pub, amazing atmosphere, real true country pub at its best! The food is just next level 😍 my favourite thing about being at the crown is that you really do feel like you're at home 😊
