The CRown Hotel in Breckland

Stopped here today after finding this on Tripadvisor. We were warmly welcomed and given the option of sitting in the bar or upstairs (very steep stairs) for waitress service. We chose the Ploughman's Lunch, where you have the options of choosing 2 options from: cheddar, Stilton, brie, prawns, beef or piri piri chicken. The plates were full of colourful & tasty food; the beef was plentiful and tender. It took us ages to get through and unfortunately didn't have room gir a dessert. Another customer couldn't manage her lunch, and she was offered the option of having it packaged up and taking it home. We will be back next time we are in the area to try something else off the menu!

We spent two nights here and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It’s a very old building with lots of character. We had a problem with the shower which was sorted once I mentioned it. Staff very efficient on the whole. We had home cooked meals both nights with fresh veg. Breakfast was cooked to order and self service for cereals and fruit juice. There were yoghurts on the one morning only. Would definitely recommend and return

We dined here for dinner and had a pleasant experience. First, the building itself is quaint. It took us a bit but we worked out that we could sit in the pub or upstairs for table service. We opted for the latter. Second, the building seems very authentic; lots of small rooms, different stair cases, etc. Our server did a good job and we both enjoyed the traditional entrees. Specifically, the sauces were delicious.

The room was awful. Old mattresses, stained carpets and desperately in need of a refurb. We stayed on a Friday and Saturday night. The pub has a license until 2am. This means lots of noise, music and people shouting in the street until very late. We heard all that from our room (17) and that was round the back. The first breakfast we had was great. On the Sunday morning it was rubbish with badly cooked sausage and bacon. The staff on the whole were very friendly. The male staff were scruffy to say the least. If you are going to a wedding locally I would avoid.

Had a lovely lunch here, ploughman’s and a burger, one ploughman’s gluten free as our daughter-in-law is coeliac. Efficient, friendly service and excellent food. We sat in the quiet and secluded garden.

Good rooms, great breakfast, good evening meals available. Friendly hosts, a really good location for exploring East Anglia, lots of great places to visit locally.

Amazing friendly staff and great food ..Good size portions . Lovely wood burner old style pub .. so happy we came here by chance

Myself and my family (a table of 4) had decided on a post payday treat and thought The Crown is spoken about but we have never been – booking here was the best decision. The pub itself is oldy-worldy, quirky and just really quite cozy. On arrival we ordered our drinks and were shown to a table upstairs, a table with a tablecloth, wine glasses, side plates and menus waiting. Not long after we had settled a large group were sat down next to us, leaving us to initially think ‘we aren’t going to be able to hear anything now!’ (The restaurant was empty apart from us and the group being a Tuesday evening!). However, we should not have worried as our waitress (Penny) came to take our order and quickly realised the noise level and offered us another table in another area (without us even having to say anything!) and not only that when we viewed the other area Penny also mentioned an even cosier area that we may prefer .. which we did! We all had starters and mains and from first to the last bite the food was amazing. Clearly homecooked, rich in flavour and a generous portion! We all left full up and having enjoyed and really really lovely meal. If you are looking for somewhere to have a relaxed, chilled, civilised, value for money (approx. £109 for 4x 2 courses and a mix of wine and soft drinks) meal then this is the place for you. We will definitely be returning!

Just what we were looking for! Met family and stayed here prior to a wedding. Received a warm welcome to this lovely old hotel. Enjoyed a very nice dinner too

Recently moved into the area so thought it was worth trying out our new local. Friendly staff, our server Lucy was very attentive and the food we had (Lasagne and Steak & Ale pie) was tasty and generous portions for the money. Will definitely visit again

The last time we had visited was about 3 years ago. The reason we had left it so long was because, on that occasion, we found the staff to be unfriendly, and the food not great. As some time had elapsed, we decided to give it another go and went with an open mind. This time things were very different. The staff were friendly and mostly attentive (we had to walk downstairs to pay the bill as they seemed to have forgotten us). The food was excellent, both in quality and quantity. So based on this experience, we will be back. Thank you.

We stayed for just one night, using the location as a jumping off point to explore the area, and our stay was great. A very spacious and well equipped room with, unusually, electrical outlets everywhere, to the extent that larger hotels would benefit from visiting to see how things should be done! Our room also had a well equipped kitchen area which was a bonus that we weren't expecting. We had dinner in the restaurant, and the meals were excellent, and the portions so generous that they defeated us! Breakfast was excellent too. All staff that we met were genuinely friendly and very helpful.

We stayed here for one night. Its convenient for snetterton and provided a lovely homely feel after a busy day at the track. We had a family room and there was loads of space which was lovely. We had a fully equipped kitchen , dining area, settee and 2 beds downstairs and then a separate bedroom and bathroom upstairs. It's a little dated but was very spacious and well equipped and to be honest charmingly old fashioned. The village is very pretty and quiet but there was a fish and chip shop and convenience store just down the road, I wish I had got up a little earlier to explore further afield but had slept too well ! We had breakfast in the morning which was nice, good choice of good and fresh juice which set us up nicely for the next day. We will definitely return thd next time we are racing at snetterton.

Food ok .bar staff iffy depends on who is on and there mood. Public bar is nice if you can you can get to it.squires bar is better. If they only have clare house it's two miles up the road so you have to drive to the hotel or get a lift from the staff. I will not say any more about clare house.

We made a last minute booking for 2 nights and were delighted with our choice. It's a 17th century pub with accomodation. We stayed in Room 15 and it was a family room with two large double beds. It was beautifully clean with a lovely ensuite and great shower. The breakfast was delicious with lots of choices and the evening meal was fantastic and very reasonable. My husband had the steak and ale pie which he said was the best he had ever had and I had the lasagne which was really yummy but huge! For dessert we both had amaretto and pear cheesecake which also was delicious. The staff are very friendly and helpful too. We are so pleased that we discovered this great place.

A real pub with excellent pub food and top class accommodation. If you want a posh hotel, then go to a posh hotel, but if you want warm and friendly, then this is the place for you. This was my first visit, but I will definitely be coming back.

Paid £95 for what felt like a one star hotel. You could feel the springs on the bed. The hot water tap had no water coming out of it. Cold shower. The restaurant was very unhygienic. The bread on the table was crawling with flies. Sticky tables to eat off. At breakfast nothing was covered, again with files everywhere. Staff weren’t at all bothered by this. I could not bring myself to drink out of the glasses that were face down on a sticky unclean table. Or pour orange juice that was left uncovered with files dipping in and out of it. I would rather of slept in our car. Avoid !

Lovely old hotel in a quiet village but with amenities close by (supermarket, post office, hair dressers, take-away). Well presented rooms. Nice restaurant serving large portions of mainly English fare. Good wine list at out of town prices. Pleasant staff. Free parking. Inexpensive place to stay and lots of places to visit within an hour or so’s drive.

Somewhat disappointed. Not from the area but fancied trying somewhere that isn't in thetford. The initial impression was poor. Locals pub with nobody to greet you. Eventually shown upstairs by a nervous young man. Thankfully another girl was looking after us who was very good. Food was decent enough but wouldn't return. Better food for the price elsewhere

We have eaten here many times with no problems but I’ve never waited 50 minutes for a cold lunch,what’s going on…. I think they wanted us to buy more drinks 🍺 So much for a quick lunch out 🥴

Stayed one night in three rooms.Warm welcome from Jane.Free secure parking.Lovely clean rooms.Quiet location. Restaurant was great,Friendly staff. Great food. Thanks for the cake.

We were staying locally and wanted a Saturday night dinner. We booked to be sure of getting a table. We arrived at 7pm and it took a few minutes to get the attention of the staff to be taken to a table - upstairs in...

A lovely old classic English pub in a quiet spot, big grassy beer garden, extensive family-friendly menu, huge cheese ploughman’s, friendly cat.

Lovely staff. Made very welcome, nice little cosy pub, with garden. nice breakfast. Thanks the crown.

I arrived the Sunday pm with my colleagues. The ladies at the pub were lovely and we were taken a short drive to Clare House where we were staying. We were met by a rude and accommodating man (the owner) he just didn't seem interested...

I stayed at the Crown hotel for 10 days. The service couldn't have been better. Very accommodating and extremely good staff. Everyone is always smiling. The food is also at a very high standard. I would highly recommend it. Thanks again for all your service.

We had a right issue with our booking not showing and arriving for all the rooms to be full. Despite this, we managed to secure an evening meal and morning breakfast. Pretty bog standard food and doubtful I'd make the effort to return. Quite a...

Very nice place friendly staff. I can't say that about the owner or family members. Good food and a good bar. After the way I was spoken to by a member of the family I will not be going back. I think a course of...

Our 3rd visit but first review...warm welcome at the bar and drinks served with a smile. Table ready immediately and seated within a few minutes. Main first floor dining room cosy and warm and a large platter of fresh warm bread served with the menus....

Just on a weekend away with another couple, fancied a local pub and had dinner here. Arrived at around 5pm ish, had a few drinks then dinner. Dinner was FANTASTIC, the Lamb Shank was perfect as was the meat pie. The portion size was very...

We visited for a light lunch for four people. Living in north Norfolk we find many of the pubs there overpriced and over-extended. Thank goodness that the Crown still provides excellent traditional English pub food in bars which - though nicely looked after - still...

Had a really excellent lunch here today. The food was really good. Piping hot and all freshly cooked. I had the sirloin steak which was cooked to my liking with all the trimmings. A great big bowl of proper chips that were so hot I...

Far superior lunch than the other local eatery and I not only enjoyed my meal I felt full. My one star removal was because I did not think the cutlery was as clean as it could have been.

Had lunch here it was very good. Not too busy & staff were very friendly & helpful. Would definitely visit again.

Today saw us enjoying lunch in a dog friendly hotel bar Staff very friendly, service quick and really good quality and quantity food Reasonable price Well worth a visit

We had a party of 13 stay overnight here, we had one of the function rooms for our evening meal and breakfast and we had 2 rooms above the bar, 2 rooms in ‘the dairy’ and the whole of ‘Hannah house’ we had a great...

We stayed at the Crown during early Julyl and were delighted with everything, particularly the food.My husband left his 'kindle' behind so we went back today and, again, the food was first class. Nothing is too much trouble for the Crown and we shall go again very soon.

After a disastrous visit to an allegedly top end gastro inn a few miles away we decided to try the Crown and we were very pleased we did! It is a quaint period pub with a small saloon bar boasting a range of fine local ales on hand pumps and a fantastic selection of single malt scotch whiskies including my 3 favourites, Glen Morangie, Oban and Laphraiog. I had whitebait cooked to perfection and a large portion followed by a Steak and ale pie bursting which big chunks of succulent steak and rich gravy. The accompanying vegetables were cooked to perfection. My companion had a ‘small’ portion of Haddock and chips but still couldn’t finish it. The portions are huge, cooking excellent, service very good and the menu varied. There is also a first floor dining room but without disabled access. Our only slight gripe was that the downstairs bar is a little cramped but that did not spoil a first class lunch and we’re going again tomorrow!

We went for lunch on two consecutive days in March. They are very dog friendly and the staff were very helpful and efficient The food was great and we will definitely visit again when we are next in the area.

On our way to Kings Lynn we stopped at the Crown for lunch. The bar staff were extremely friendly and made us feel welcome.

We visit on a regular basis as we live locally. The restaurant is delightfully old fashioned and the food is traditional English. The portions are very large. We never manage more than a main course and coffee. The food is always good, if a little unexciting. The service is usually good, but can be very slow for no obvious reason. Prices are very reasonable.

Stayed for work to which was local

Went for lunch today with my husband and my father, food was excellent hot and plenty of it, nice choice of vegetables.

We went in for a lunch; a girl behind the bar was talking to a couple of bar sitters, (the pub was nearly empty), and she completely ignored us; then her mobile phone rang and she said to the bar sitters, "i've jus got to take this and walked away leaving the serving area empty. We had a look in the adjacent bar where the girl swung round and walked away...we left! Never to return!

Comfortable room and ensuite. Felt a little cluttered with furniture. Great bed Evening meal in the main building. Very friendly and attentive staff. Good evening food. Hearty breakfast included in the room rate

We stopped here for an evening meal. The accommodation seemed to be filled with regularly contractors working in the area. Initial welcome was poor but this improved as more staff appeared who were bright and cheery. Dated flooring and furniture put us off a bit at first but the food we ordered was of good quality, quantity and value. Not somewhere we would look to return but it is recommended if you are looking for a good meal and a good pint of ale in this area.

Stopped for lunch as it was the halfway point on a loooong walk and given our recent experience of crabby pubs in this area was very pleasantly surprised. A real gem. Lovely pub lunch in a quiet rear garden and very friendly staff. The guy gave us a very warm welcome and we were even allowed our two dogs both inside and in the gardens. Food was lovely and plenty of it. We will be returning tomorrow for an evening meal! Fabulous place.

This hotel is in a lovely village location.

Ate here on our first night in SW Norfolk on holiday. We somehow ended up sitting in the bar rather than the restaurant or lounge but it made it interesting hearing the locals having a bit of banter. Because we were in the bar area we had to order our food at the bar which wasn't a problem, just said excuse me to the locals and they let me through to the bar. Food wise couldn't fault it. My steak and ale pie with mushrooms was more like a bowl of beef and mushroom stew with a piece of lovely light puff pastry dropped on top. I have never eaten a pie with so much meat in it. My wife had the bangers and mash which she described as gorgeous. I have to say they did look really good and sourced from a local farmer. Lovely well cooked vegetables to accompany and we were well and truly filled by the time we left. Can't comment on the desserts I'm afraid as we could not manage another bite. Nice friendly pub with very very good food on offer but think it might be better to eat somewhere other than the bar

In terms of the cost, what you get from the Crown has to be classed as very good.

What a nice surprise to find this pub in Munford. We had lunch for 3 and the food was well portioned, very tasty and so well presented. Staff were very nice as well. I would highly recommend.

We came for our Christmas get together as we have been before and had a lovely time and haven't been able to fault it before.

We found the Crown by accident & I am glad we did. Excellent food, A lovely warming fire on a very cold day, made it a great place to break our journey

Over the years, I have stayed here many times on business and have witnessed a slow decline from a very pleasant pub and hotel to a temporary home for travelling builders and a magnet for some pretty unpleasant locals.

I often rely on the AA Good pub guide, it rarely lets me down so after picking this pub out and reading some TA reviews was looking forward to our visit. Made a booking for 2pm on a Saturday expecting the place to be busy, especially as it was a hotel too.

This hotel has an excellent bar area, very warm and cosy in the winter. Good food, coffee and beer. Also have a restaurant for more formal eating.

Excelente comida a un precio razonable y un servicio atento. Este es uno de nuestros cazas y nunca hemos tenido mala comida o servicio pobre. Tiene una terraza exterior para comer con mesas de picnic, así que no tiene capacidad para fumadores en el exterior. comer terrace está en pleno rayo de sol así una gran experiencia comiendo. perezoso

We just stopped in this lovely old pub for lunch. All the usual pub food, plus some imaginative extras. I had an excellent home-made burger and my wife had the leek mushroom and spinach cheese crumble. The crumble was awesome and the burger was pretty...

Mundford is a pretty village and could easily be missed. I've stopped here on several occasions when travelling to and from Norfolk or Suffolk. Just beyond Thetford forest and near Lakenheath. Friendly staff and a good choice of freshly cooked meals on the extensive menu.

Paramos en este pub de pueblo encantador a unos 12 - 30:00 en primer pensamiento no lo hicieron, ya que era la comida que pedimos nuestro vacío pero la comida de una señorita muy amable. No me decepcionó rápido servicio tuve tempura de pollo con ensalada y patatas fritas picantes y mi marido fue para el queso y jamón con plowmans. Entonces una parte de 17 vinieron en seguida mucho mas clientes. Muy contentos llegamos primero. Sin duda volveremos y lo recomendaría a cualquiera que le guste la buena comida casera.

Our main courses and desserts were well presented and cooked to perfection. Staff were friendly and helpful. Staff were kind to the two young girls (6 + 8 yrs old), appreciating their good behaviour. Parking was limited and it took a couple of trips around the block to find a suitable spot. We'd certainly go again and recommend to friends and family.

I ordered the slow cooked roast port belly which was possibly the best roast pork I had ever had. The crackling was absolutely perfect. The meat was tender and juicy. The caramelised sauce was a perfect consistency and nicely flavoured. The accompanying steamed vegetables could not be faulted, slightly crunchy and still retaining it's natural flavours.I did find the potatoes au gratin too garlicky for my palate, but others may like this. The vanilla icecream scoop in the half apple was a quirky touch which was not quite right for my palate either. I think the ice cream was too sweet to put with the meal, the more subtle sweet but tart flavour of apples would have been better. But otherwise superb.My dining companion found his ham egg and chips also faultless. A wonderful find.

Nice old village pub that serves good food and beers, Accommodation is also very nice. Have had the Sunday lunch a couple of times and it has been good.

The Crown is quirky but very welcoming - and the food and the service are "warm" and comfortable. A very nice place for the mid-week lunch that we enjoyed

Spent New Year's Eve here and had a lovely night. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. The restaurant food and menu choices were fantastic, can't fault this lovely charming pub, the room we stayed in was small but very comfortable all you need for a few nights stay, will definitely be using this pub again. Thank you to all the staff working on New Year's Eve and and New Year's Day.

We stayed here last night for New Year's Eve, it was a very last minute decision to go away, I phoned around a few hotels to see what entertainment would be going on also if food would be served.. The crown were lovely they only had a couple of rooms left, but from the time we arrived it was lovely, very cosy and inviting, a small pub but with a big atmosphere, food was delicious and the staff went out of there way making sure everyone got what they needed and also serving well past there normal serve time, drinks were reasonably priced, and are room was lovely very quaint traditional English, spotlessly clean, defiantly somewhere we would revisit.. and the people of the village were lovely in particular two locals named ken and tony.. thank you for a fantastic New Year's Eve.. with out us breaking the bank ❤

This is not just a pub because it has a separate restaurant and also has accommodation. Very important to me it's dog friendly in the pub bit! Food was really good, plentiful and hot and reasonable price. Have eaten there several times and never had a bad meal.Old fashioned place with fireplaces but lovely atmosphere with friendly staff.

Great location for a Christmas party, accommodating 42 of us in the main dining room; excellent service, lovely meal, hot, well cooked food and great overnight bed and breakfast as well.Dog friendly in bar as well as having dog friendly hotel rooms.

A very disappointing meal at The Crown, Munford! A lovely building, but the food...well, see below!! Three Cheese Tortellini and a Rump Steak ... must have been an anaemic cow!!! When we raised this with the waitress she was rather disagreeable and put out, stating that she'd check with the chef, who confirmed that it was indeed a Rump Steak! When we asked to see the Manager, who failed to appear, another waitress again told us that it IS a rump steak....we even got some photos on my phone to illustrate our point! I had to refuse to pay for that meal as there was no offer to adjust the bill...poor customer service. So be warned....if you want a Rump Steak go elsewhere. This was our third poor meal there....it'll be our last!!

When I called to reserve a table for Sunday lunch I wasn't overly awed by the monotone voice taking my reservation, but nevertheless they accommodated our request without any problem. There were hoards of motorcyclists in one bar so we went into the other bar, where we waited for about ten minutes. One member of waiting staff went past us twice but no acknowledgement- we were in the verge of walking out when a pleasant young lady said she'd be back as soon as she could, to serve us. Sure enough within 2-3 minutes a young man came through and served us drinks and we ordered our food as well whilst there were staff about to take our order. Food arrived 10mins later which was great as we were hungry! We both had roast beef which was delicious although slightly too much gravy for me personally. Roasties were delicious too as was the yorkshires. Veg was good. We didn't have dessert but saw another table receive theirs, and it looked scrumptious! Would prob go back but when the bikers aren't due

Booked a table for EIGHTEEN of us (family) on 2nd November for Sunday lunch and expected that due to the large party it might be a bit of a fiasco but, no, the staff were brilliant, helpful and efficient and the food was lovely. Well done to all concerned, will recommend you to everyone.

The location, food, staff and value is fantastic. The general appearance is relaxing and quaint. What spoils it is the audible foul language from locals using the bar who disrespect coupes and families with children.

Called into this pub / hotel twice this week, no frills food cooked to good standard - portions a bit big, almost every table leaving uneaten food on every plate, lots of frozen type chips and a generous salad on each plate makes the portions appear massive. Some odd combinations food wise on the menu and £21 for a basic fillet steak seems a bit steep given the frozen chips that would be served. Not much atmosphere as its a separate rooms layout with a bit of a tired interior, basically great place to grab a meal but not to spend an evening. service by some staff a little unrefined and abrupt and could be more friendly.

Had a great visit here today for lunch. Food very tasty and staff friendly and helpful. We will definately be returning.

I for the life can not understand why this place was not packed to the roof we my wife and I had the most fantastic meal at the crown and at £27 per head for 3 corses and drinks it was really cheap and the food was so much better than very good and a lot of it, I don't say this often this is one place you would be mad to miss

I booked Bed and Breakfast here at short notice as I decided to visit Grimes Graves for a second day. The Crown at Mundford is very convenient if you're visiting this historic site just down the road. I had a very comfortable attic room with en suite for a reasonable price. After signing in I ordered an evening meal there and even though I had a good appetite, I should have considered the half-size serving as the standard meal was large. The battered fresh haddock overhung both ends of the plate, and there were plenty of good quality vegetables. The breakfast in the morning was excellent: plenty of choice, prompt service and nice decor. If you don't like stairs, my attic room was up three flights, but it was quiet and very comfortable.

Visited for dinner on a Sunday evening as we were passing through the area. The food was pretty good. Portions were absolutely huge, the pie in particular could have fed 2 people comfortably. The staff were very smiley and apologetic for the poor service - it was very disjointed (Fawlty towers comes to mind). We were there longer than planned as service was very slow, and some of the other tables waited longer than us and were very unhappy with the service.

Popped into the crown sunday evening after checking in and checking out of Lynford hall hotel for what should have been a special evening for us both ... Unfortunately Lynford hall was a total let down ..... so thank God for the crown came to our rescue... after spotting the signs for the crown we thought we would see if they were still serving food Found the crown to be friendly and inviting....plenty of menu choices :) We opted for starters and mains of lamb shank .... both were lovely ... but we should have just opted for mains and we couldn't finish it all ... large portions ..... good value ... we will definitely be popping in again Thanks to all at the crown for rescuing us for what would have been a disaster evening.

Had dinner here, an excellent rump steak with all the trimmings. Nice to see a pub with plenty of locals adding colour to the experience. Local beer was very tasty too.

We used this Hotel as an over spill Hotel for a Masonic Ladies Festival Weekend being held at near by Lynford Hall Hotel found the accommodation staff and food excellent.Found Barry the proprietor particularly helpful with his shuttle mini bus service from the Crown to our event at Lynford Hall Would recommend to others Martin.

Used to live in Mundford, so know it well!! Great for a Pub Lunch, food very good value for money and Barrie and staff of Ladies all very helpful, the Pub is very cosy!!

The food is very good staff are always friendly nice Village to bit of a odd mix from downstairs to upstairs. A good pub to have a drink and food .

I had dinner at the Crown, I found it a very friendly pub, warm and inviting. I had the lasagna which was very good and an excellent pint of bitter.

Beef was so tough, couldn't cut it, everything seemed to be tasteless. Left whole of meal, less one bite, but wasn't asked what was wrong. Apart from one blonde waitress, staff were not interested.

We were in the area for a family wedding & booked six rooms at this hotel. Despite various requests for single rooms , double rooms etc we were all given what we requested. The Crown manages to remain a village pub with a proper bar, whilst catering for numerous bedrooms situated at various sites in the small village. Meals can be taken in the bar but it would be a pity to miss the lovely character of the dining rooms. We all enjoyed breakfasts which were freshly cooked . Overall a very enjoyable stay.

Lovely hotel in a lovely village called Mundford. The hotel is charming olde world pub, with rooms attached running down the road....Good value for money.

Great food, a little chilly in the bar though. Although the landlord did try and light the fire to remove the chill.

Always good value for money, large portions and well cooked. Often busy so choose your timing carefully.

Basic country pub a little dated Room up steep stairs only shower which was slow to drainRoom large with beams and slopping ceiling Breakfast good with helpful staff

Lovely pub, great food and old English atmosphere. Be aware that you must be hungry - the portions are huge!

We dined here the last night of our holiday and wished we had done every night, friendly staff, not overpriced and really pleasant customers

My husband and I went for our Anniversary dinner at the last minute. Difficult to find parking and no clear signs to restaurant part of structure that is hotel/pub/restaurant (outside stairs to right of structure). We made a reservation, but no one was in the restaurant when we arrived. All other customers were seated outside in the garden on picnic tables. This looked fun, but we were a little dressed up, so we decided to eat inside. The servers rallied, and took our order quickly. We had a delicious appetizer that was made up of small button mushrooms in a stilton and wine sauce. It was a very generous size, and was perfect to share. My husband's dinner of pork belly was very good by report and served with potatoes and a side of mixed vegetables. My leek and spinach crumble was good, but there were a few times as I was eating that I noticed a grittiness that disturbed the pleasure of eating this otherwise yummy vegetarian dish. I would recommend a more thorough rinsing of the vegetables (probably the spinach). This dish was served with potatoes in any desired version, and more vegetables on the side. Our servers were young, polite and attentive. Overall, we were very pleased with our meal (except for the grittiness) and too full for dessert. Would return.

Although pretty from the outside and overlooking the green, inside the décor is tired, the seats are extremely hard, the service was disjointed (when ordering drinks at the bar, and indicating that we would like food, we were not told to order it at the bar and spent some time sitting at our table before we caught on). Appreciate food is cooked to order, but from time of arrival to receiving food was an hour and five minutes. The portions look generous, typical ok pub food, but the plates are too small and the sight of food piled up is not appetising, and give no room at all for manoeuvring food without knocking stuff off the plates. I don't feel we'd rush back.

found this by chance in the local freebie ! dogs welcome !we were greatly impressed by the lovely food and actually ate here for the 3 nights we were in the area

Popped in for lunch and a drink on the way back from the north Norfolk coast. It's not on the main road so you need to keep an eye-open for the signs. the pub was cozy, staff friendly and food great. What more do you need to say?

Visited this hotel staying locally for one night only. The building is typical of old pubs with need of some money spending on it. Breweries and owners will never catch up without selling on or ruining by turning into Indian restaurants. Staff very friendly, the food looked interesting but my choice of home made burger had flaws. The burger meat was very well made but not cooked well, running with grease causing a soggy bun that had be be discarded. Locals noisy and not well travelled (that's being polite)

This is a great village pub/restaurant with a regular twist. First Sunday of each month the pub if full of Harley Davidson riders as "The Fenlanders" meet here! Especially in summer there can be dozens of stunning original Harley's to look at. This particular visit in addition to the chapter meet we were having a birthday meal for a group of us upstairs. The Sunday roast is always good so why have anything else, it was pork or beef this time, can't decide have a bit of both! The staff are friendly and relaxed well used to us bikers and happy to have us decorate the table ahead of the meal. A happy birthday was had by all!

Fresh meat and vegetables cooked well and excellent crème brule. Our meals were in with our stay here as we were booked as a group but there were plenty of couples staying who seemed to enjoy the food and ambience too.

We went here for lunch for Mothering Sunday as a family group and were seated upstairs on a large and very suitable table. We chose a variety of meals from starters to puddings and all were served well, lovely food and great service. We have been here a number of time now and always enjoyed good food in a lovely environment. We will certainly go again.

We have always thoroughly enjoyed our meals here, to the extent that we will be booking for a party shortly. The building is old and a little quirky, but the food has always been excellent. The staff are friendly and courteous, the chef knowledgeable and helpful. Perhaps the room temperature could do with a little attention to detail, but this is minor. We are looking forward to returning in April.
