The Goat Inn in North Norfolk - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The food and the service were absolutely amazing! Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Absolutely beautiful place 😍. We will be back! ❤️

Amazing food and atmosphere staff were so friendly and service was brilliant. A real enjoyable experience for the family good value for money with top quality food.

Sunday lunch, last minute decision, offered seats in two areas but decided to sit with the jazz music. Very enjoyable, we had roast turkey, pork and beef, all generous portions, the only downside I prefer crispy roast potatoes and these were tasty but soft. Friendly staff and very good value (4 roast dinners and 6 drinks for just over £100!) Thank you

We've been coming here quite regularly for come while now an d it just seems to get better and better. Can't fault it. The attractive location, lovely old thatched buildings, large car park and beer garden, really friendly and efficient staff and really good food. In fact it's now one of our favourite places to eat anywhere in north Norfolk.

We had dinner here this evening and it was a great experience. The two meals we had (Ribs and Steak & Kidney Pudding) were excellent and the portion sizes huge. Great value. Friendly staff too in what is a pleasant dining environment. 10 out of ten from us. Recommended.

It's a nice looking free pub with good food. There is a nice selection of beers, too. I had an Adnam's Blackshore Stout that was very tasty.

This lovely thatched pub and restaurant is out in the countryside away from bustling roads. Very peaceful location, warm welcome, good choice on the menu and quick, efficient service. Good quality food, not stingy on portions.

This was our first time at the Goat Inn,even though we only live a few miles away. Great value for money and good tasting food.

We had an amazing time.We were greeted by two members of chatty, welcoming staff ( Sophie and Sam) and a scrumptious menu with a wide variety of foods for the whole family. The food came quickly after our order and tasted amazing.The portions were a very pleasant size, and I was neither under or overwhelmed. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to families,friends, and couples alike.The staff and food were utterly lovely.

We visited The Goat following a recommendation from the owner of the studio we were staying in in Buxton. We both had burgers, which were lovely and big portions! We were so impressed we went back the following night. The food was excellent and the staff were friendly and efficient. We wished we were staying longer so we could try more of the menu. For big appetites, go for the steak and kidney pudding. It beat me and I'm a big lad. All this and dog friendly.

We stayed here in our campervan (very reasonable £18 including hook up and full facilities) on a Saturday night. Took advantage of the electric hookup on a cld February night. We were met by happy cheerful lady who advised us on facilities etc. we decided it was to cold and late to cook so went into the restaurant for a couple pints of Adnams which were delicious followed by seriously stacked burgers ... All delivered by yet again a smiling young waitress. Everything about the place was top notch and highly recommended by this happy camper

Have not been for a while so was looking forward to dinner today and can say we were not disappointed- we had the roast beef, meat was tender and well cooked veg, potatoes delicious and Yorkshire pudding lovely - ordered the kids portion for our 6yr who munched her way through it - perfect size and well presented (same as ours rather than an after thought). Next for dessert - what can I say we had the cheesecake and it was so good we ordered an extra two to take home!!!!! Creamy, full of flavour biscuit base spot on ! - They we’re busy it’s was Mothers Day staff were polite, helpful and accommodating- we will be back and might just order an entire cheesecake!!!

This is one of the best Norfolk pubs for food quality. price and service. The staff are charming and are always helpfull and happy. We will be back for more! Keep up the work. Just fab.

this is the first visit here on the recommendation of friends, What a lovely old pub service and food were excellent which we all [4] thoroughly enjoyed. We shall certainly visit again

We called in to the Goat Inn for the first time on the way past as we fancied a pint and a bite to eat and we were both pleasantly surprised. The food, service and beer were all first class and Angus our dog enjoyed his chicken nuggets

A lovely pub with great staff always willing to please. The menu is full of 'My type of food' simple dishes cooked to perfection every time. I love the Steak and ale pie!!

We visited The Goat Inn for an evening meal during a couple of nights stay in Skeyton. This is a really nice pub. Staff were friendly and attentive, good selection of drinks, food was also tasty. Also reasonable priced. We would certainly recommend if you are visiting the area.

Heard this was good but understatement it was brilliant, great choice of dishes staff friendly and easy access for less able bodied people. will definitely be going back

The Goat hosted a group of friends for me on Saturday and did the job well and with style. Coffee at 8:30 , then they welcomed us in after a chilly day’s sport at 3pm. Then they fed and ‘watered’ us all (10) With smooth efficiency and a full menu of delicious food. Thank you all

We stayed in our Camper Van at the back of the pub, which had electric hook-up which was a bonus, we had an evening meal at the pub both nights and i have to say it was the best food i have i have had in months fantastic prestation and flavours the staff were excellent cant wait to go back

I sometimes go to the Goats Inn and usually have a steak, the food was always lovely but this time my friend and I decided to try one of their Burgers with onion rings and chips and the meat had a gamey taste. I was told it was an in house prepared beef and it tasted really funny and it had taste that almost made me sick...

Sunday dinner. Yummy, the beef melt on the mouth. Lovely dinner. Followed by yummy desserts. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Looking forward to popping back again.

We stopped by here on the way to a family ocasion. All four of us really enjoyed our meals. Everything was home cooked and delicious. The portion sizes were generous. They also had well kepy ale.

Really enjoyed the recent beer festival at the Goat. Helped by great weather the whole event was really well organised. There was a great selection of local beers and ciders. The food outlets were amazing for a small event like this. The atmosphere was great made even better by the live music in the garden. we'll definitely come again next year!

Lovely pub with excellent food and friendly staff. My husband is a coeliac and there was an excellent choice of food for him. Would definitely return.

Second time we have been to the Goat Inn in two days. Again the food was fantastic, the service was amazing and location lovely and very relaxing. Today we tried the Pulled Pork Burger and it is one of the best burgers we have had. Very good value for money considering the obvious high quality ingredients used

The Goat Inn was recommended and did not disappoint. Had steak crostini to start which was lovely but wife has salt and pepper squid which was fantastic. Then out came steak kidney pudding and was blown away by size of the portion and the exceptional quality of the food. Excellent value for money, high quality ingredients used and service was outstanding

Enjoyed a Friday evening meal here. There was a beer and cider festival happening but the quality food and service were not affected. We got to sample some new ciders after. As our first visit, if I lived locally I would be back l again...

Having been three times here previously whilst on holiday at Hemsby, I decided to bring my Mum here to show her what I had been raving about and how good the food is here... I had the 8oz rump steak I had loved the first...

We were recommended the Goat Inn when we were out walking out dog and again by a pub called the Rising Sun. How right they were. The pub is listed and full of original beams. when you go in you are welcomed and feel immediately...

Very welcoming and dog friendly. The food was excellent and service good. The staff were very friendly towards both the wife and I, but also our dog. Menu had a good choice with several dishes outside the normal pub "classics", which these days can be...

This is Norfolk's outstanding gem...!!! Quite literally stumbled upon whilst taking a wrong turn, my friend and I decided to have a meal there. Warmly greeted and shown to our table we looked through the wonderful menu. It was an excellent selection full of temptations....

The Goat was able to accommodate 8 of us at short notice. The food was delicious and the portions were generous -the Steak and Kidney Pie was amazing - huge! but yes, it all got eaten! Many thanks to Helen for taking care of us.

Went for lunch I had steak and kidney suet pudding although it was very delicious I could only eat half of it and I have a good appetite it was the same size as a quiche I buy for the two of us I didn't...

This out-of-the-way country pub is a little gem and well worth seeking out. I cannot fault it in any way at all. I thought I had got the last car parking space in front of the pub, but, on getting out of the car, found...

Lovely food. The squid starter with chorizo was genius and so were the beef nachos . We were both beaten by the huge mains. The ribs were so tender I ate them with a knife and fork. Everything was presented well and hot. My only...

It was a works night out with about 10 of us in total. The variety on the menu was good enough to keep us all happy and the service, while leisurely, was friendly and accommodating. The food was great, the Tomahawk Steak was brilliant and...

A delightful old pub with modern extension and camp site in the middle of nowhere. We meet friends here for lunch quite regulary and have never had a meal that was less than excellent. Today I had quite the best roast duck I have ever...

What a great find. Fantastic food and plenty of it. Cannot sing the praises of this pub enough. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Food was wonderful and a great price for the potions you get. Usually a pudding person but just couldn’t manage it after...

Great little find following a recommendation. Excellent food, service,ambience, choice of ales and value. Its worth looking for as it's off the main routes. Helen is a credit to the Team. We will recommend and will return.

I really have to praise this beautiful old pub to the highest level! The lovely ladies serving were so very helpful and friendly, the food was fantastic and it's a gem of a pub inside and out! Will revisit when next in area without any...

Every year, we 6 old school friends meet somewhere different for about 4 nights of camping. This year we chose to stay in the camping and caravanning fields behind The Goat Inn. Two of our Group had stayed before and suggested The Goat as the...

Treated ourselves to Sunday lunch before a major surgery. Have not been before although it is only a 15 minute drive. This was probably the worst Sunday lunch i've EVER had. Service was poor, roast potatoes were as black as coal, yorkshire puddings were rubbery,...

Have been here several times, but unfortunately won’t be returning soon, had to wait an hour for our starters and it wasn’t very busy, another 30 minutes for the main which was very poor quality all tendons only 4 rib bones in 2 racks of...

Another successful, enjoyable return to this pub/restaurant with special friends Great ambience, friendly front of house staff, well maintained facilities and really delicious food...thank you chef...Will definitely be back Only criticism would be how long we waited for our food to arrive, but it was...

Came as part of a rugby club - charity event this weekend. We throughly enjoyed the food, it was delicious. The service, staff and the atmosphere was really nice, we would love to come back & highly recommend The Goat Inn.

I had the steak and kidney pie, I’m not saying it’s big but it beat me. Very tasty honest food at a decent price.

Staff friendly but service very slow. Meal booked for 18:30 table 5 for 8 people. Table not very good as we where cramped in and chairs were bigger than the table could accommodate. While its not easy to fit 8, both us and the table...

Terrible service had to wait 45 minutes for a starter which was soggy bread with mushrooms , ordered ribs which was mostly tendons and inedible, I raised this with staff a couple of times for them to say “it’s not usually like this” Won’t be...

Please ignore other negative reviews as they are beyond comprehension. We called in on a busy Sun aft , when Jazz was on, and the staff and Jo were very welcoming and squeezed us in so we could eat. The food and service were first...

A group of 8 of us visited here for the first time. We were all very impressed. We rang to ask if we could bring a birthday cake as a surprise for our friend. They said of course. Some pubs frown on this now. The...

Such a lovely pub and the food is outstanding. We used the campsite and booked a table for an evening meal, my husband had also been the weekend before. We found all the staff really friendly and they made sure that our dog was happy...

We are new to the area and had the Goat Inn recommended to us by friends. We took a chance tonight when other friends we’re visiting with their grandchildren on popping in to see if they had a table for six free knowing on Friday...

Took my four grandaughters to the Goat after their rugby training. We all live local and in an adjoining village. Been here several times before. However arriving as a 'drive by', were met with an unwelcoming manner. Told we couldn't eat or drink as we...

Lovely food, ample portions, nicely served. Wolf Nanny Goat beer is to be recommended. Only one niggle is that hot food should be served on a hot plate.

We had Sunday Lunch here with our parents and Children, we all had roast dinners and enjoyed them. Fresh veg decent potato and meat Beef better than pork , friendly staff

Haven,t been here for a while as it seemed to lose its way a bit but glad we went back As it was a very good evening , atmosphere was good ,staff were very good and food was better than expected and prices were good...

This was our last meal out of 2022 and we made a return to The Goat Inn with a friend who had never been before. For a wintry night, the dining area was lovely and warm and the staff welcoming and helpful. The menu was...

Quality down. Prices up. Visited several times in summer very enjoyable hence our return .visited Christmas Eve. Very disappointed !!

Wow what a find the Goat is. Lovely food, great service and all at a very reasonable price. Beautiful building just adds to the overall experience, such a shame I don't have this as a local pub, mind you I would probably live here if...

Staff were very helpful in accomodating my dietary requirements going the extra mile to check with the chef all with a smile. Meal was lovely, large portions so we could not manage dessert. We would return if in the area again.

So I eat at The Goat often due to being close to where I work and I like to support local businesses if they are good. Thankfully this Public House is. I also travel here to eat at weekends with friends as the food is...

Had a lovely meal here,all three courses, lamb shank delightful, as was everything else, very chilled, excellent staff, highly recommend

I had roast turkey & my partner had roast beef. I never finish my plateful but I did today! Reason for not giving 5 out of 5 was purely because the roast potatoes were not crisp and fluffy, but they were very nice though. All...

Came here on the back of a recommendation given to our lunch companions - none of our party had been before. On the down side, the pub advertises its real ales however two of the three pumps were not in action and the beer from...

Called in on a sunny Sunday afternoon with friends, Very nice place & friendly staff as well worth a visit

Good food and, fundamentally, good service. They did bring our "mains" before the "starters" but did quickly rectify matters and with suitable apologies. We all make mistakes, so no problem

This was our second visit to The Goat Inn, having been recommended it for the gluten free options it offers. Being gluten intolerant and not eating meat, it is refreshing to have a good four or five fish options. I had the gluten free battered...

Delicious lunch served by very pleasant staff. The fish platter was sublime and plentiful as was the Nanny Goat ale. Hubs had the Hoggie minus the cheese which he enjoyed plus the ale. We'll return at a later date.

Have been coming to this place for a few years. Todays experience was not good. 3 of us had meals that arrived at the same time . The 4 th came as the rest of us finished. No body seemed concerned or even explained what...

We have visited the Goat over many years and have always had a delightful evening and meal. So we were very disappointed this time, the pub was very quiet for a 19:30 booking, as always lovely and clean warm and friendly, the staff were very...

Second time visiting The Goat (we are not local). Impressed first time and now second. Very quiet when we arrived (7pm booking). Lovely surroundings and comfortable seats. I like that the tables are spaced out in current climate. Server also wore a mask which I...

This was our first time trying this restaurant and will not be returning. It was a quite Sunday early evening so ordered 2 roasts, one beef and one pork. The pork was absolutely horrible I couldn’t even swallow it. The Yorkshire was like a paper...

We were offered a wide choice of gluten free options so chose beer battered cod and chips . We have never tasted such terrible “batter” which appeared to be raw and very bitter , like a soggy sponge with a small piece of tasteless fish...

We had a delicious Sunday lunch with plentiful portions, brilliant, attentive and efficient staff who made us feel very welcome. The tables are well spaced out but there is still a cosy atmosphere. We both had the nut roast which was huge and very tasty....

We live locally and have visited this pub over the years, including for group functions. There is a choice of seating areas . all comfortable and atmospheric. Just had two main courses , both excellently cooked and presented - could not have been better, and...

Booked for a meal which was nice. However, we were informed that the pub would be closing early (this was around 9.45pm) as there was ‘nobody there’. Admittedly we were a party of 3 but we still had drinks and were hoping to be picked...
