The Crown in South Norfolk

Visited The Crown last night for a Birthday Dinner celebration. This Country Pub, Restaurant is going from strength to strength since it was taken over by by Lucy and Darryl. From the minute you approach the Thatched building with its beamed interior, you feel as though you have walked into a country cottage living room. Comfortable chairs, relaxed ambience, well stocked bar and a changing menu including fish, steaks, veg, vegan, and a little from afar. It’s always nice to have something with a different twist! Plenty of spacious tables in both front bars and a long atmospheric restaurant behind the bar. If you haven’t visited yet, put it on your eating out list, I don't think you will be dissapointed with the welcome, the friendly staff or the good food.

What a fantastic pub. Lovely welcome. Wide range of drinks and snacks. Felt very welcome what ever you asked. Definitely going back!!!!!

A really lovely evening spent with friends at The Crown, Pulham Market. Excellent food served by friendly staff. Great atmosphere. The Crown was beautifully decorated for Christmas and it was lovely to walk in, out of the cold, to a roaring log fire. Thank you for a fabulous evening.

The Pulham Crown is a lovely pub and Pulham Market is lucky to have it. Low beams, beautiful log fires, lovely views across The Green in the summer and a refurbishment several years ago that transformed the property. Last night we took friends from Sussex for dinner, it being potentially hazardous due to the dietary needs of one diner. However, we needn’t have been worried. Our waitress was well versed in gluten and dairy free and explained such, very well, suggesting good staff training by management. On the down side we commented how, wherever you go these days the menu is made up of pizza, burgers and pies, even in restaurants. Also, beware, the wine is hideously expensive when by the glass. I ordered two pints of Wherry and two, admittedly large glasses of wine and the bill was an eye watering £27! For four drinks? Having said that, the environment is lovely, the staff apparently well trained and the food is excellent. Thanks for a lovely evening

Excellent food and range of drinks. Will come again. Catered for gluten free too. Pulled pork burger was to die for. Pie of the day was also great

Went for 1st time today and it did not disappoint. Lovely friendly staff and the menu was really varied, could have had pretty much any of them. Opted for the Pie, a proper pie it was too. Filled to the brim and so flavoursome. If I could have licked the gravy out of the pot I would have. 🤤. Will definitely be returning.

This used to be great pub for food. Sadly over the last 12 months it has gone spectacularly downhill! Lovely comfortable and charming interior and good beer. Sadly I have had two disappointing meals . Most recent being with family. We order a pasta dish with salmon. Tasteless! And we ordered Pie of The Day. Probably at least a day old steak pie turned up. Very very very crusty pastry. An uncooked carrot and a tiny bit of broccoli accompanied the pie. Lots of gravy but it seemed that the gravy had been thrown on to the plate covering everything including the small gravy jug sitting on the plate. No salt or pepper on the table. I gather the pub has introduced a new menu. My advice to customers. Stick to the drinks. My advice to the pub. Either don’t serve food at all or offer food that your fine reputation can live up to. Don’t over complicate keep it simple and manage customer expectations.

Avoid the pizza I found it to be a stodgy doughy mess Partner had steak and ale pie which he enjoyed and it was nicely presented Have had lots of pizzas in various different places at various different price points and this is on a par with the worst of them I accept that they will vary some are excellent some not so good but I've always managed to eat them regardless I ate less than half of this one and I don't like to waste food. I mentioned the fact that it was overly doughy to the waitress just as general constructive feedback when she collected the plates The topping was generous but a bit of a a mish mash of flavours and the overall effect combined with the dough was heavy and stodgy However. If you're a fan of the deep pan pizza style you may enjoy it Perhaps they should concentrate on their main menu and scrap the pizzas altogether Aside from that it seems a fairly pleasant enough pub I'm not overly familiar with the area but next time in the area I'd maybe. chose the other village pub purely based on this experience as I understand they now serve food On a positive note the dessert I had was very nice

Friendly bar staff. Waitress was lovely. Sunday Beef lunch was really good. But one negative point. food had gone cold before me and partner had finished it,due to plates not warmed beforehand. Would go again.

We had a delicious roast dinner today. Food was delicious, service was excellent and price was good. My roast Turkey was cooked to perfection and it came with all the trimmings - a very generous portion. I will definitely return and would recommend.

Visited for Sunday Lunch. The restaurant was freezing.....yes it was a very cold day and yes the cost of heating has increased considerably but it made the room uninviting and not a place for having a relaxed meal. Staff were pleasant but very young(18-20) I would guess and clearly not experienced in service or communication with customers.....no personality and no conversation. Food was ok apart from rock hard roast potatoes that appeared to have been cooked the day before and reheated. Oh...and if you are going to provide extra gravy in pots dont place the pots on the plate in the middle of the food we were about to eat. We had desserts which again were ok although every dessert came with ice cream no custard.....us British love our custard.The ice cream accompliment was the smallest of scoops and mine had split and was grainy in texture. Would we go back?....maybe to try again but we will wait to spring or summer my feet might have thawed out from the cold by then.

We ate in the restaurant for an evening meal which was decorated lovely for Christmas. The fire was roaring which added to the ambiance. We found the menu had lots of verity but wasn’t overwhelming. Everything was presented perfectly and we could not fault the food. Everyone said their food was delicious throughout. Although on the higher end of pricing, the portions were sized according to this so no issues with paying slightly more than other places. The mussels and pheasant were stand out favourites on our table. Deserts were also really large portions, the cheese board could have been halted and it still would have been worth the money. When it came to the end of our meal there was a 10% service charge added to the bill (we had seen this on the menu already). This added around £15 to our total. We decided as a table to leave a cash tip of slightly less as personally we found the table service wasn’t the best we had experienced. We felt slightly forgotten and the staff gave the impression they’d rather be somewhere else. We paid the total without the gratuity and were told there was the remaining left to pay, we said sorry for the confusion but we want to remove the gratuity to which we had a snappy response before we could even explain we were leaving it separately. This changed the whole dynamic of our evening and left a sour taste. We decided against leaving a tip at all after this. I feel the kitchen staff have lost out as a result of the front of house staff on this occasion. Regardless of the staff on this particular evening, the food really was lovely and I will recommend the restaurant.

Food was a little pricy but was very good We Sat in the restaurant which was VERY cold,one small fan heater set at one end of the room really didn’t lift the temperature enough. Service was slow and inattentive. Waiting staff need to be trained to show appreciation to customers if they wish them to return as they are the forefront of the business.

Another lovely evening at the Crown last night … Although not quite as amazing as the one with the drag queens bingo last week which was highly entertaining….. Not sure my friends will ever let me forget it 😂💃🤪… Lovely atmosphere - great locally produced food…efficient service - always worth the drive from Diss Thanks for giving Maisie loads of cuddles and dog treats too… will be back soon 👍🏻

Had the most fantastic meal with 3 friends. The owner Came over to check on us and she was very knowledgeable and friendly. Sausage rolls are huge and the ploughman well worth the money. Highly recommend. Will return soon.

Please ignore the morons providing recent negative feedback! As our local we know how unwelcoming it used to be before the new owners took over. It’s been turned into a welcoming pub with enthusiastic owners and staff, decent beers and food. Everyone at the Crown...

Great food , great service. We were made to feel welcome and easy access for parking. Unexpected entertainment from a really good singer and love the new decor. We will be back!

£9.00 for a glass of wine! 15 minute wait for a second glass, glad I had time to cancel it at that price, food good, but more expensive than trip advisor price range. Expensive and slow service generally. We used to frequent this place often...

A warm welcome in a lovely setting. Delicious food in generous portions. Extensive drinks menu. An extra warm welcome for dogs, who are allowed in the bar area. They get their own menu and our 7 month old labrador was very well taken care of.

First time I have been to The Crown since it reopened and found it to be an excellent place to meet for a business lunch with clients. It was the first cold day of the Autumn and the overall ambience was great with two roaring...

Tilly is waiting for the Crown to reopen as she is missing the roast beef and she's missing her friends

Felt we needed to support the local pub in the lockdown. Just had our Roast beef and pork belly, lots of veg and gravy ,roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding. Not a thing left uneaten, delicious! Thankyou. Ps put in microwave for approx 20 seconds which...

Really friendly and welcoming pub. The service was good, the food was excellent and there was enough choice. We shall definitely revisit.

This was the first night of our weekend break. I thoroughly enjoyed my beetroot starter and lamb main, despite the small portion of potatoes! My husband however wasn’t so convinced with his burger, so we ate elsewhere the following evening. Big mistake which my husband...

Six adults went here on a Saturday lunch time for a meal.Each ordered something different, and every meal looked extremely appetising and all member of the party were satisfied.I ordered the veg and lentil stew, and was mildly disappointed as it was a tomato based dish with seasonal veg- not quite what I was expecting. However, again taste could not be faulted! (Be aware though my partner said I had garlic great for 3 days!!)For desert we had the sticky toffee pudding and Eton mess.Unfortunately the pudding was cold and we have to get new ones sent out- which were much smaller than the original portions. The pudding was still a bit dry and burnt tasting, and I felt the toffee sauce was quite bitter.We got the puddings at half price because of the cold ones, and our servers were very attentive.To summarise, mains are delicious, but I won’t be stopping again for desert!!

On walking in, this pub was striking as a mix of tradition and cafe chic which sounds messy but was actually very well executed. The only problem seemed to be that, being so open plan, heating was an issue on what was one of the coldest days of the year. The open fire was excellent but it could only heat so much.We drank Doom Bar and Broadside which were good.The was a wide ranging menu. The topside beef and welsh rarebit were both very good. The bar staff and customers contributed to a good atmosphere.Our lunchtime bill was very reasonable.

My husband and I popped in the Crown on our way home from work for dinner. We are both vegetarian and were delighted to see that there are a number of veggie options on the menu. The food was excellent with friendly service and we would recommend it for both veggie and non veggies

If you’re a non-meat eater be prepared for an 80’s vibe of nut roast or stuffed peppers. On asking if there was a veggie special we were informed ‘there’s a fish dish’ .So we had a starter & sweet, the soup was just that but the lumpy custard gave us a good giggle - like school days. On a serious note it was shocking that the chef allowed that to be sent out. If you have lactose/dairy free friends take your own milk, it’s cow or nowt so no tea or coffee.

Went for dinner with my family and was very impressed with both the food and the service with the added bonus of the pub itself being lovely and quaint with its decorations and log burning fires. 3 of us got starters, a goats cheese and pesto salad and two shrimp and chorizo on bread with Chili jam. I’m a pescatarian but because all the food is made fresh to order I could ask for mine to have no chorizo, which was a lovely surprise as not many places are so accommodating! And it was delicious too, lovely big prawns. For mains I went for the beetroot risotto with sweet potato, which was delicious, my brother got the burger and myParents made the most of the two steak meals for £20 and neither could finish their whole plate because was such a generous portion but they both said it was great. Me and my dad shared the sticky toffee pudding, which was another big portion and that’s always amazing because nothing worse than a small dessert! With everyone having the equivalent of two courses each along with a bottle of wine and some other drinks, the bill wasn’t even near £100 so everything was very reasonably priced and would definitely come back to try more things on the menu and would recommend it to anyone who asked! I hear they’re doing a pizza night on Fridays now so I think that will be our next visit

Stopped off here when passing as Sunday Roasts advertised. First impression on looking at menu was a bit pricey but stayed to try as it was 3.30pm and places closing. So glad we did as excellent Sunday roast, meat was tender, roast and mash potatoes, lovely mixture of vegs, and cauliflower cheese. Would certainly go back. Very friendly service.

Excellent food from the crown, have had an amazing night. Staff was incredible they were filled with energy and enthusiasm. Couldn’t fault my night !

Lovely menu for everyone's tastes. Gorgeous veggie Sunday roast. Kids menu great too. Friendly service and lovely setting

Met a group of friends for an evening meal and I ordered the 15 hours slow cooked beef served char grilled on a bubble and squeak cake. Well, I got the bubble and squeak cake but the beef consisted of thin slices of pink beef which were not at all tender. All I can think is that it must have been cooked with a light bulb. Nobody came to ask if our food was okay and I did not do complain as I did not want to disturb the atmosphere at our table. Very disappointed.

We visited this pub for a midweek lunch despite a log fire we were cold it was virtually empty We ordered fish and chips and sandwiches my friends fish and chips didn’t look appetising at all very over cooked batter dark brown she said it tasted ok My friend’s fish finger sandwich was much the same as was my chicken one chicken was really over cooked and quite hard We didn’t complain as it was a treat from our friend and we didn’t want to upset her but won’t be going back in a hurry!

Pre wedding dinner to meet the new relatives from Australia... they loved the food, decor and atmosphere great as always guys thank you ... ps best pork belly I have ever had

Nothing like pudding chewy roast pork inedible cauliflower did you even put it in hot water and as for the sauces either in mussels or cauliflower cheese(was it) runny is the word. Do these chefs even eat what they cook !!!!???

While holidaying in Suffolk had been out all day and needed somewhere to eat. Checked out a few places and found The Crown served Sunday lunch until 7pm. Drove the 9 miles and found a warm welcome, good beer and a huge lunch, beef for me and pork for my wife. There was plenty of well cooked meat and a good selection of vegetables. After eating it we declined a sweet as the mains had filled us. Definitely call again when in the area.

Booked a table for 5 for Wednesday lunch. Only one member of staff who was clearly trying hard to run the bar and wait table. However, it became too busy. We all choose the set menu. Prawn cocktail was good. Bruchetta with cheddar and onion marmalade (actually cheese on toast) not great. Tomato and garlic soup was far too peppery. Main course beetroot risotto was inedible, beetroot rock hard and looked more like boiled rice than risotto. haddock cooked in garlic butter was so over cooked it was also inedible, served with under-cooked boiled potatoes and a very sad salad! Beef came with a enormous burnt Yorkshire, mash was reheated potatoes and meat fatty. Waitress was extremely apologetic and we were not charged for the food not eaten and offer drinks and desserts which we declined. Such a shame a real disappointment. We certainly won't be back!

We decided to go at the last minute and we had a great home cooked tasty meal, we all picked something different to eat and it was all tasty and freshly cooked. Nice atmosphere and we were made to feel from the time we went in. Great service, great food too.

A last minute decision to go out for lunch and was busier than expected for a Tuesday afternoon. Despite there only being one member of staff behind the bar she acknowledged us whilst serving others saying she wouldn’t be a minute and was very friendly. Food was first class and served in a timely manner. Staff, food, atmosphere were all first class and would definitely recommend it. We’ll definitely be returning soon

Having moved to the village in November 2018 we have visited the Crown about 10 times! The staff are always very friendly and accommodating and the food is amazing local, fresh produce.Always a great atmosphere and the setting is beautiful.Highly recommended a visit and we will certainly be returning.Cannot fault this place.

We have just moved to the area and this beautiful Country Pub came well recommended. We have now been back 5 times with friends and family and our pet dog he was also very impressed. ( he told us :) Great food , really friendly staff and just an all round great country pub, cant wait to come back.

A return visit to The Crown... met up with friends for a walk round the Pulham’s finished our outing in The Crown. Lovely menu couldn’t decide what to have .... as it all sounded delicious Service was great very attentive, decor lovely what a gem .... going back Sunday for a roast

Had to wait half an hour for someone to take our order and then only after prompting them. Starters mushrooms on toast Luke warm on cold plates. Pate tasteless and difficult to remove from jar !!! Main course arrived after one hour !! All ok but small portion of meat. Service less than great, waitress very young and inexperienced. Will not return.

Nice friendly local pub set on the village green in Pulham market with a great atmosphere.The food we had was all excellent. Dog friendly too which is nice to see.

Just dropped in for a drink. Looked at the menu it has a wide range of food and beers. Does deals on the menu.

We have had many visits to this lovely country pub, situated in a small village overlooking the village green.The food here is always brilliant with a varied menus that changes regularly and sources local produce.The staff here are very attentive and friendly and always offer a warm welcome.We will return and would recommend popping in if you are in the area for a drink or a bite to eat.Dogs are welcome as are muddy boots.Great open fires in the winter and blankets if you feel chilly.Look out for local.events taking place on the green, including the Circus always an added bonus.

Accidentally came across this characterful Inn. Completely dog friendly, a very welcoming cosy interior in spite of its size designed to look a bit like a comfy country cottage. Very good food and outstanding service. Topped off by meeting and thoroughly enjoying chatting to Fred whose local pub this has been for his entire life. He's only 88 and is the custodian of Pulham's rich history, much of it his own.

We were staying close by this pub so we had two meals, on different nights,and on both occasions, we found the staff were very polite, and friendly, both meals were excellant.

This was our third time at The Crown for Sunday roast, always visit when in the area. Excellent food, very tasty and well presented, and the staff are pleasant and polite. Would highly recommend

Visited with friends for a meal on the last night of our holiday. Friendly staff, but waited 45 mins for meal. Very small portions and totally tasteless. Not happy. Will not return.

Just asing by stoped here for luch. Food was great staff are really friendly. Nice place I would go back.

On Saturday 6th April 2019 we got married and had our reception at The Crown. We arranged to meet Laura the manageress and Keith the head chef to discuss our requirements. You pointed us in the right direction and arranged the day to suit our wishes. From start to finish you took the stress off our shoulders and delighted our guests with a delicious meal which they can't stop talking about. Thank you so much for everything you did for us to make our day so special xx

Calling into the Crown we were made to feel welcome straight away by both the staff and the regulars. The food was excellent and the beer well maintained. The Crown has lovely dining area and still maintains a country pub feel. We both enjoyed our time there & will be calling in again

The staff at the crown were very friendly and helpful. We had an excellent meal both choosing a fish dish, the presentation was great and the taste even better. Will be back again and will recommend to family and friends.

Whenever we are in the area we always drop in for lunch her. Staff are fantastic, nothing is too much trouble and food is always delicious. Look forward to our next visit!

We had previously visited The Crown before we moved to the area and thought how lovely it would be for it to be our local! Now we live here, we couldn’t wish for more. As we are only 2 minutes away by car, we have not had one bad meal here, always a varied menu, always friendly staff and nothing is too much trouble. Such a comfy cosy atmosphere, and feel just as welcome if we just call in for a drink. Love bringing family to this lovely traditional country pub.

We were staying at The Old Bakery opposite and were informed that the Crown served food.We arrived shortly after 8,30pm on Friday evening to be told curtly that the last orders for food were taken 5 minutes before. Although not empty the Inn was not busy and to turn away 3 covers on a Friday night!!Not good for business

We have been here now on 5 occasions and has mixed results. Today was the worst!We arrived for a 4pm booking And had to wait whilst the waitress cleaned a sticky bar Mat off the terribly sticky table, we were booked in and it wasn’t busy so why want it ready? - we have sat here before and the table needs sanding and sealing as was sticky all over and most uncomfortable to sit at, we all had to put napkins down to enable arms to be placed there! Ordered some drinks at bar and asked for an additional drink once designated driver joined us - it didn’t arrive - it was 30 minutes later when they came to take food order ! (No one appeared before then despite restaurant emptying and staff grouped chatting behind bar!) Ordered food and it took a good hour to arrive (Sunday roasts on a Sunday can’t be that hard!) - beef fatty and not remotely reminiscent of description on menu! Dinner eaten — WE WERE LEFT OVER HALF AN HOUR WITH EMPTY PLATES AND FOOD DEBRIS - IN FACT ONLY HAD TABLE SERVICE WHEN WE GOT UP AND ASKED FOR IT My Daughter in law went to the bar and she was given perfunctory answers to questions about desserts. And had to ask the group of barmaids to come clear the table and take orders for desserts, they did somewhat reluctantly and then took a further forty minutes to provide dessert. The excuse was there was another table of 4 ! The attitude of the blonde lady with glasses verged on rude and challenging ! The “pavlova” on arrival 40 minutes later was tinned fruit with a piece of meringue on top! The custard on the treacle tart and sticky toffee was cold! Despite spending £175! Not good enough and wouldn’t treat your mum here suspect anyone could cook or warm up and present better! Before Xmas - had Sunday lunch for 2 at about 2pm all was good - great good fast service nothing to write home about but ok...February has supper for 6 - fantastic .. great food service and attentiveness.2 other occasions like this ? So what’s happened (happening?) - there are limited restaurants where I live, and this one is currently crossed off the list! If I could be assured I would get the service and quality of the Saturday evening in Feb I may come back but I will not be wasting money without assurances.

Relaxed, cosy, friendly knowledgable staff. Great menu, found it hard to choose! Went with a chicken pie and was reaaally pleased, such beautiful pastry! Scrumptious ice cream and scoffed a couple of mouthfuls of my friend’s apple crumble which was SO delicious. Shame we aren’t more local as it would be nice to pop in more regularly.

We booked dinner here as we were staying at the Old Bakery B&B for a night to watch a football match the following day. On arrival, we were given a warm welcome and shown to our table. The décor is amazing with so much to look at! Our candlelit table was lovely, in a really nice location at the far end of the restaurant. The menu was superb, with something to suit every taste. When the food arrived, it certainly did not disappoint - not only was it very well presented, it tasted amazing too! Our waitress was delightful and made us feel really at home.I am gluten and lactose intolerance so I called them beforehand to make them aware of this so the chef created me the most amazing dinner I have ever had in a pub. The flavours were absolute amazing, I could have had 2nd and 3rd servings. Thank you Would recommend the crown to anyone, top quality food at a very reasonable price. We live in London so I am gutted this is not our local as I would be in here every night.

Lovely setting and even has a resident ghost who sits by the inglenook. Very warm and inviting and they allow well behaved dogs. The food is tasty and well presented, my only criticism is the small portion of vegetables I was served with my main meal. Literally one stalk of cauliflower, two potatoes and three carrots! This is not a "pile it high" establishment but in fairness I do not think this is their intention.

Had a family meet up here. They were great with the young kids and the bar and waiting staff were pleasant and helpful. Food and drink were good quality and good value for money. Lots of room.

Went here for xmas do for work about 30 of us, Could not fault the food and it all came out fresh cooked and within a few minutes so everyone eating the same course at the same time, something so many places cannot achieve.Will definitely go back

We had an amazing meal on Christmas Eve. The food was delicious & the service was very good. We were a large party of 14 and had quite a mix from both the festive menu & the standard menu & all dishes were as pre-ordered.
