The Cock Tavern in Broadland

This pub was recommended to us on our recent trip to Norfolk. It didn’t disappoint! The fish pie was definitely up there with the best I’ve ever had. Friendly attentive efficient staff. One mark off as they say they are dog friendly but you have to sit in a separate area which doesn’t have the lovely old pub atmosphere like the rest of it does. Big car park. Theme nights are AWESOME. If you like meat don’t miss out on Wednesdays!!

Went there for a meal on Sunday early evening. Didn't fancy a roast so had the suet pudding and veg. The pudding was split and rather dry the vegetables were bland and the mashed was dry and lumpy. Was okay but wouldn't rush back. But I must say the roasts did look nice. The dessert of mixed fruit crumble and custard was fantastic.

Visited Saturday evening as had family visiting and what a lovely experience it was. Great atmosphere, service and the food was excellent and great value. Saturday evening was 2 4 1 steak night and everyone enjoyed their meal.

very disappointing ,we went for Sunday lunch with family, my roast pork was very dry as well as not enough and overcooked vegetables

Proper old school pub with food to die for! We stayed nearby for a weeks holiday and ate here 4 times! They will also do anything on the menu as a takeaway! Great friendly staff!

Very popular country pub. Election of real ales cider lager etc. The food is great with huge portions. Also dog friendly in the bar. Staff are great and very helpful . Can't fault it

Specials night worth it every night of the week. Especially ribs n wings on a Wednesday amazing

Very clean the food was excellent and the service was superb.

Excellent service as always, good quality food and friendly staff never a bad meal and thank Lyn for the proper mustard complimented the steak lovely.

Good quality, cooked fresh, friendly staff

Booked a table for 10 ! Service was brilliant food was hot and all delivered to the table at the same time , everyone in our party was happy with the food and great service we all had a fabulous evening

Good traditional pub food. Beer quality excellent

We stopped at the pub by chance, very glad we did. There were four of us for food it was perfect.

Great food, hilarious waiter (Batman), definitely coming back for some more of those sausages. Very kind and friendly staff

Great place to eat and drink, recommend this place highly

Great greetings, very friendly efficient service throughout. The food is competitively priced, really good pub grub. You leave nicely full, with the feeling you have had good value. Always good and well worth a visit.

So good to be able to write a good review instead of a negative one. What a great pub the Cantley Cock is, a proper country pub with a good range of beers and good wholesome food at a reasonable price and not pub grub at inflated restaurant prices The venue is pleasant and the staff very friendly and accommodating We have visited a few times now, and have certainly never been disappointed, with food theme nights a specialty. We’ve been for the chicken and ribs, and the fish and chips night and have never managed to eat it all ! So nice to find somewhere like this and we will keep going back for more

Booked a table for Saturday evening for a family meal (9 of us...all adults) This was our 1st visit and certainly won't be our last. The service was exceptional and the staff were all so polite and friendly. Now for the food....well what can I say other than 9 exceptionally hot meals which were perfectly presented, cooked and delicious. Nobody from our party could find any faults with the food or service at all. We have a family get together every month and we have all decided to return next month.. so see you in March.

Really pleased we discovered this fine old pub. Amazing service and great food.

Roast dinners are amazing and even the gluten free option is great. Highly recommended.

Went out for a valentine meal with my wife. We call up on the off chance that they had a free table and they gave us two time that they could fit us in at. When we arrived the staff was very welcoming and stated that there was special board and they a valentine menu.So me and my wife pick food from the valentines menu. The food was outstanding well presented and hot

Food is good and not over priced

Very friendly service and excellent food Yum Yum🤠 Definitely coming back again. Steak Night ‘’O YEAH’’ 🥳

Warming and friendly atmosphere, food was delicious 😋 and the service was great

Lots of happy customers, Great pub,nice food,book for Sunday , lunch, more options now , food still great and staff excellent and friendly . Prices still competitive.

Recommended by freinds and what amazing place this was.food was really nice,good atmosphere,service was great.Have offers everyday.Please do try this place as I was pleasenty surprised

Welcoming experience. Good food and a variety of different ales.

Staff here are just excellent. They will try and adapt anything to make it to your taste… Awesome food, atmosphere. You won’t leave here hungry that’s for sure. My other half the The Big Ben- picture to follow. What a meal. Thanks guys!!

Waited 45 minutes for our food and disappointed with the portions...won't rush back .

I had read about this place online and decided to go for the farmhouse steak night. We were met with a warm welcome and seated quickly the service was great and the farmhouse steaks were amazing, we are already planning going back for pie night. Very good service and decent prices had a great evening.

Can't fault the Cantley Cock experience, had a lovely lunch with friends. I thought it was good value for money, a great old pub with atmosphere. The staff were pleasant and efficient. I really can't fault it, Our 2nd visit within 2 weeks, we'll be back.

Lovely meal at reasonable cost in friendly atmosphere with good and friendly staff

Warm friendly welcome, Excellent food with first class service especially from Mia and the rest of the team.

Monday is all you can eat curry night & it's fantastic. 4 different curries, veg dish, rice, a tray of bhaji, samosas, nann bread, poppadoms. Plus you can request more of anything. Mark, was very friendly & made sure we had all we needed.

Lovely pub with good staff and great food, highly reccomend will be returning soon.

Great value food, with a varied menu, in an old traditional style pub. Called in mid afternoon when many other places weren’t serving food. Delighted that food is served here all day. Recommend by friends and will definitely return.

You just can't beat the quality food in this old fashioned pub. Not over-priced either. Top drawer!

Party of 3 people and all our courses were good. Traditional pub and atmosphere. Not many staff but very experienced and service was very good. Recommended.

Having visited before we were looking forward to Sunday roasts today. Sadly we were really let down. Plates turned up with heavily over stewed veg which was virtually cold. Infact the only warm thing on the plate was the meat. Everything else had obviously been heated up from earlier or sat around for too long. Cauliflower cheese had clearly been heated up more than once. We were still charged full price although most of the food was inedible. Therefore we won't be back.

Great selection of food and good sized portions. Friendly service.

Excellent food, good service and great atmosphere. Really good value for money with good portion sizes and excellent range of food. Daily special offers look very interesting.

Booked a table for steak night. Great food, great staff and they are members of the loyalty scheme.

Lovely food, great friendly staff. Will be back again soon.

First time here today. Lovely old style pub. Great food. Warm and welcoming

Stunning pub. Lovely Sunday Roast dinner, finished off with a deliciousChocolate Brownie and Ice cream. Wonderful staff and service, what else could anyone ask for?

I have always loved this place. I love it even more after a visit today and they now do a gluten free roast! The food was so good, the portions are huge, the staff are lovely… the rest of my friends attest that the deserts are also delicious (I was too full!). All round great traditional pub vibe, and you won’t leave hungry!

Lovely pub. Food was great, desserts yummy. Will be coming again when we next visit Norfolk.

A very quiet night, to be fair probably down to the bad weather. The service was good ,a nice friendly manner from the young girl who was clearly new. Unfortunately the food was not that special, my husband's meal was totally covered in a sauce which meant he had to hunt for the salmon. Not many options for someone with gluten and dairy intolerance.

Lovely meals and friendly and helpful staff.

What a hidden gem this place is, first time I've been n all I can say is wow, from the minute you walk in the door, you're greeted with a friendly smile, the food is amazing, the staff, 2nd to none, polite, smiling and all of them with fruendly banter, it's a great atmosphere, signed up for their loyalty card as we will 100% be back to try their themed nites, curry nite, pie nite and steak nites throughout the week, can't wait to come back...

We were made very welcome. The food oh what can I say about it that would be doing it justice. The steak was done how I like which is usual. My friend has dietary requirements and they catered for that the whole way through her meal. There was no rushing of the food we could eat at are pace. Thank you all would recommend you to anyone. Xx

Excellent, dog friendly, good food ... we visited 3 times for our evening meal whilst staying at Brundall, along with my sister and husband. Look forward to visiting again on our next break. 'Roy Walker' ... aka Dave and Jane x

Just sampled the all-you-can-eat (wings, ribs and sides) I can not stress how good it was the ribs are just on another level This is now going to be our local spot on a Wednesday A must 👌

Wonderful place with yummy food. Staff very friendly and helpful. So worth to visit. We will definitely come back 😊👍

Proper East Anglian countryside pub, good selection of local ales and great British pub food. The staff are very friendly and down to earth, quietly efficient and chatty. The pub's reputation for great food and service is well deserved.

We like coming to this pub for good value, tasty food and excellent service. The beer is nicely kept with a selection of ales. Should also make note of the wide selection of single malt whisky stocked.

We had a most delicious meal Saturday 25th March. Cooked to perfection, service was brilliant What a lovely friendly place. Have been before and will be back Well done

A very reasonably priced meal , very good food good size portions

Perfect place to have a meal lovely people and very friendly food was very good as was the beer

Had a table booked for 8pm on Saturday night The staff were friendly and the service was quick They had a two for one steak deal We decided to have fillet steak which was £30 It came with peas chips and tomato We decided to order a salad, portion of onion rings and vegetables on the side We were very disappointed in the salad and infact we didn't eat it. It wasn't what we thought their salad would be (usually 80% lettuce few tomatoes and other bits) it came all cut up very small looked a mess We ordered the steaks medium rare, however they were slightly too rare for us and not cooked in the middle The steak itself needed to be seasoned as it was just plain and cooked with no seasoning what so ever Chips, peas onion rings and veg were good, tasty and hot However there was a piece of cling film left in the vegetables so they had obviously been microwaved It's decently priced and nothing i could see in the menu was too expensive, so great for casual pub food Overall pretty average but the staff were lovely and really helpful A young girl took our order and she was very knowledgeable on the menu

My wife and I have eaten three times in the last week here, including a Sunday Lunch. The food and service are excellent - Mark and his family and team give a warm welcome and excellent service. Particularly recommended - the Roast Beef Sunday lunch and the steak and kidney suet pudding - though this latter is not always available (ask when making a booking!) All very good - well worth searching this place out!

Very friendly staff, really made welcome, mark the under manager really friendly when we left we felt we had known him for a while, would highly recommend if your ever passing, food is excellent too, was a pleasure to get to know them all. 😀

We went along for the wings and ribs night and had a very enjoyable meal. Superb value for money. It was £18.99 for unlimited chicken wing, pork ribs, chips and slaw. My only criticism, and it's only a very small one would be to have to sauce on the side. Also maybe add a couple of additional dipping sauces to the menu. I'm personally not a bbq fan and this was their sauce of choice. I know I'm in the minority of loving bbq sauce. It was great to see the venue pack and doing well!

Lovely traditional pub food of high quality, cooked to perfection. Great, friendly service, deserts to die for, and dog friendly! Highly recommended.

A lovely cozy pub/restaurant, Great service and very nice reasonable priced food. Highly recommend.

Outstanding for Sunday lunch again…..

A popular pub that does pub food and the largest onion rings I have ever seen!

What a great place! Food was amazing, very good portions, also very reasonably priced, staff were friendly and chatty. Can't wait to go back and try a different dish

Never disappointed when I eat here. Food is always well cooked. A good variety and special nights.

This is a lovely country pub. I would suggest booking early as it gets busy. The portions are massive and there is lots of choice for all dietary requirements.

Been to this pub today for Sunday lunch visiting friends in the area, food was amazing so tasty, fresh and plentiful. We will definitely be going back again while we are here for 2 weeks. Staff helpful and pleasant a must try pub.

Very SLOW service, orders taken wrongly. Had to ask for salt & pepper. There seemed NO real urgency, Very dissapointing, as have always found this good pub.

My husband and myself visited on a Saturday lunchtime, we had pre-booked as know it gets busy. When we arrived we were warmly greeted and shown to our table.Our drinks and food orders were quickly taken and we did not have to wait very long for either. We both decided to choose different food to what we usually order here. I chose vegetable korma which came with rice and a popadom, it was nice (was full of lots of vegetables) and my husband chose 3 starters to have for a mains. These were garlic bread, cheesy chips and south fried chicken strips. He really enjoyed these and so did I as couldn’t resist trying them.We decided to have a dessert, pineapple pavalova for my husband and banana split for me, both really tasty. The staff were friendly and efficient too.Whilst it doesn’t look modern /tidy on the outside the pub is quirky / old fashioned inside but it makes you feel at home. The pub is under new management and I really hope they don’t try to change it, change the menu or turn the pub into something it isn’t. This is a great local pub selling delicious food with a good atmosphere.

We were holidaying in nearby Reedham and had tried a local pub beside the ferry. Unfortunately it was not open and so I called The Cock Tavern to see if the had any availability. "We're fully booked for Sunday dinner, however if you can be here within the next 15 minutes we could squeeze you in". This didn't mean any bending of Covid rules, they just had a table available for early dinner. We quickly made our way there and were duly given a table. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Drinks arrived promptly followed by roast dinners. There were four empty plates at the end and four very happy diners. Desserts followed to finish the evening. A member of staff gave me a business card as I left which had a list of "Themed nights" on the reverse. We enjoyed our visit so much we returned later in the week for "Pie night". The staff recognised us from the Sunday and asked if we were enjoying our holiday. This is a well run pub with friendly, welcoming and engaging staff and I'd have no hesitation eating there again. I expect when Covid restrictions are fully lifted it may be difficult to get a table so phone in advance to avoid disappointment.

After struggling to find a dog friendly place to eat and get good food we came across the cock tavern even if we had to sit in the garden which I have too say is not very pleasant but the food was tasty hot and quick so swell done for that.I’m surprised that’s country pub would not allow dogs inside.

Covid restrictions well managed. There were 4 of us and we all enjoyed our meals - the steaks were cooked to perfection; the pie was tasty and served with seasonal vegetables.

Thursday night is advertised as Steak Night. Tonight's booking was made over 2 weeks ago, so it's not as though we weren't expected. No filet and no ribeye. Settled for tasteless chicken and dry oven chips. The fruit crumble for dessert was indescribably vile, goodness knows what the crumble topping was.When we complained about the lack of steak, we were given the answer, 'we can't know how many people will turn up'. That may be true to a certain extent, but if you are advertising a product, surely you should ensure you can deliver.I also watched a staff member cleaning a newly vacated table. She did not fully wipe the table and totally missed the touch-point of the chairs, which would be the right and left side of the seat.Very disappointed, will not be returning.

Covid system most impressive. All staff regular sanitising tables etc. Staff very friendly & efficient. Food was excellent.

Several of our neighbours had recommended this pub to us. Cycled up from Lingwood this morning for an early breakfast and it was delicious. Great value full English, perfectly cooked. My wife and sons had the vege option and loved theirs too. Staff were friendly. Definitely recommend. CE

Haven't been back to the Cantley Cock for about 15 years however now that our local has sadly been lost to Covid-19 we thought we'd give it a go and really pleased we did! The special was a massive T-bone steak that was cooked to perfection with well kept Ghost Ship to wash it down. Atmosphere was a little lacking however that's not at all unexpected given the current pandemic, we'll definitely visit again once it's over.If you are worried about Covid-19 then the slightly overbearing attention to safety will appeal! We had our temperature taken when entering the building and when the 1st thermometer failed to work rather then just letting us in anyway they went off to find another! We've been out in Norwich since the pubs reopened and nowhere else has been as diligent.All in all though a really good meal and thoroughly recommended.

We are regular visitors to The Cantley Cock and this was our first post lockdown visit. Food was lovely as always. My husband and I both had plaice and chips....very substantial portions and delicious fresh fish. Service was great as usual. Really clear, efficient and safe set up in regards to Covid. Please support this local business as they are only running at just under half capacity at present.

Stumbled upon this pub while out on a bike ride from Reedham where we are camping for the weekend. Food is amazing and great value for money. Staff are so friendly and warmly welcomed us, very covid secure and setup well to accommodate this new strange way of life!

This pub /restaurant is now open for sit down meals and still doing takeaways too. The food is excellent, faultless and our roast dinner was all fresh and home cooked. I had homemade Red pepper and tomato soup roast lamb and my husband had the roast pork and chocolate sundae for dessert. All served in a clean and safe way by excellent staff In a lovely friendly atmosphere. So glad to be back eating here again.

Restaurant closed due to Covid-19 Government shutdown, but we celebrated Mother's Day with a takeaway for our family of four. Staff were excellent and food to the normal high standard. Well done all.

The food was brilliant! Always cooked to perfection, always a lovely plateful Staff very friendly, Price is always fair

We met up here for a friend's birthday. The whole evening was great service and great value. Most meals are home cooked and portions are of a good size. Wine from £9 a bottle.

Last minute booking very accommodating good service and waiting time even though they were busy Hot,hearty food with extensive menu at good prices Lots of local customers ( Norfolk accents) and all round a very friendly atmosphere They do specials evenings also

A traditional little pub full of old farming tools brasses trinkets just like a country pub should be. The food is delicious great portions can't fault it. Lovely atmosphere and staff that will talk to you and very polite just what we like excellent.

What can i say about this wonderful restaurant. Made up for Reedham's bad pub and grub, This is wonderful home cooked food, very lovely staff who are friendly polite and professional, they all do a wonderful job. So reasonable too. Just loved it here.

We were recommended to go the the Cantley Cock for lunch and so glad we did. It was very busy, but managed to seat myself, mum and daughter with high chair comfortably. Food came out promptly despite large groups and it was simply the BEST steak and ale pie I've eaten, the pastry was amazing! Will definitely be coming back! Excellent food and service!

Came for lunch and had a Carvery. The food was amazing and the portion size just right. Service was also fantastic and the venue was perfect, proper old fashioned pub. Would def recommend!

Best traditional Sunday Christmas lunch I’ve had in years. Normally this time of year results in below par, luke warm and overpriced meals - but not here. The plentiful food was well presented, piping hot and delicious. Service was prompt but not to hurried and the staff very kind and friendly. The place was packed with locals and very festively decorated which helped with the cheerful atmosphere. Definitely good value for money.Will definitely be coming again to sample to regular menu.

We’re part of a massive family - we enjoy getting together for a good Christmas meal, chance to exchange gifts for kids/grandkids etc.We had the festive menu - wide choice of hearty food, truly great service & excellent value for money. So full that hardly any of us could manage the mince pies or chocs which arrived at the end!Worth mentioning that this family run pub has suffered a significant bereavement; they’ve put a polite notice on the door asking customers not to talk about it with staff as it’s so sad/difficult for them to deal with, even though they know all comments are 100% well meant. We thought this was a really honest and sensible approach to take, and cannot praise the staff highly enough for their cheery, festive service ... we even got gifts from an elf at the end! Thanks to everyone involved for our lovely evening. (Still full!)

We went here for a early family Christmas meal and it was a really nice evening.

We have eaten there many times, and have Never had a poor meal. Great for Sunday Roasts, very good portions and very well presented, and got. Very good quality Food. We will be back again soon

Great food. Used to eat here often as we both work all day and it was somewhere we could go in the evening with the dog after leaving him all day. Great place to meet friends with dogs etc so unfortunately won't be visiting much any more after I called to book and found out they are no longer dog friendly.

What a great time we had! A pumpkin carving competition and a Halloween quiz! Everyone was so friendly. Had a super time. And best of all, I had a vegetarian Shephard's Pie that was absolutely delicious.

Staff and food very good Period pub with fine atmosphere You have to book as it is normally full Landlady’s period dress is very good

Really like the place as they serve good food and at a really good price but went in recently and they are now no longer dog friendly. It was ok on this occasion as I could leave my dog home but I often visited with my family who are unable to leave their dog home alone so we'll now have to go else where.

Excellent food and Value for money, always made welcome and nothing is any trouble. Fantastic food and service from friendly staff. HIGHLY REC. Tony
