The Hunworth Bell in North Norfolk

We visited whilst on holiday in the area. We were greeted by very friendly staff. Although the restaurant was busy, being a Saturday evening, we were not rushed and enjoyed a leisurely meal. My friend is coeliac and the menu offered her lots of choice. The food was delicious, the service was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening.

A lovely evening with excellent food, warm and friendly service and a peaceful atmosphere. I would certainly recommend it to others.

Just had a family lunch at The Hunworth Bell , I don't leave many reviews but this visit today warrants praise. The surroundings in the restaurant were very pleasant and informal, the staff were very welcoming, the man behind the bar was sincere and did everything right, he described the specials, offered table water, then took our drinks and food order, a credit too his employer, service with a smile but not over the top, the food was well presented portions were ample, warm and tasty. I had Bangers and mash with veg it was perfect, i would definitely recommend this pub for atmosphere, friendly staff and quality of food, the pricing was not cheap but nor was it expensive, its true in this circumstance you get what you pay for. Worth the drive out and would come here again, hope the standard can be maintained at this high level - well done

We all had different meals all good service was great just a shame not just here but most pubs don't seem to be able to make roast potatoes and crispy Yorkshire pudding and a bit sparing with the gravy, maybe the time we went accounted for the potatoes perhaps left over from lunch and recooked sorry that doesnt work, my husband said his were chewy and did t eat them apart from that we enjoyed the evening

Great Sunday lunch. My partner had two starters from the bar menu and the roast beef, which he declared to be excellent. I had a goats cheese and beetroot salad to start followed by scampi. The portions were generous. Lovely friendly service. In comparison to some other local restaurants this was well priced.

Ordered two meals at lunchtime today. Burger was pretty good but nothing special. I chose the belly pork flatbread which was £18. Quite expensive but I thought a relatively healthy option. Unfortunately when it arrived. It was two massive lumps of dry meat - very chewy and certainly not like slow roasted, soft pork. I wouldn’t have been surprised if it was reheated. The flatbread was basically stale and was like eating cardboard. It was difficult to cut and was as hard as rock. We sent it back and I ordered the halloumi burger instead. This was okay but nothing to write home about. They did give us the halloumi burger half price but I’m afraid we couldn’t recommend.

Visited with friends. Good car parking, friendly staff and pleasant decor. I had pork belly which came with a small amount of savoy cabbage, red cabbage and broccoli. The mashed potato and the veg were not as hot as I would have liked. I then had creme brulee which was lovely and came with two homemade biscuits. This came to £28 which I did think was pricey. I would not pay that on a regular basis so I would probably not go there again.

Have been several times, disappointed today. Roast potatoes were reheated and tough to eat,( didn’t taste freshly cooked)

Visited with friends for supper. Beautiful location, warm welcome. Menu choices were excellent. Service was absolutely excellent and the food positively yummy! Highly recommended!

A very warm welcome from sarah who we have known for over 10 yrs. Excellent food and service and very good value. We may have lost the Duck at stanhoe but the extra 25 mins drive is well worth it for the welcome and food.

This is a lovely pub and restaurant, situated in a pretty village with lots of old world charm. We ate lunch with friends here today, we had the dogs with us so were seated in the pretty and cool bar area. This pub is very dog friendly and our dogs were given water to drink after their hot walk. The humans had Moongazer beer (lovely) with a coke for the driver. The service here is always friendly and efficient. The food was very good; well cooked, nicely presented and not too long to wait. We have been here before and we will come back again for sure. We highly recommend this pub.

We booked a table of 5 couple of days beforehand and arrived to a friendly greeting. It turned out to be a busy lunch day with lots of walk ins but the staff managed it well and werr seating people quickly. There is a good sized menu with a range of different food options. We decided to go for 5 bar bites before our mains and they were lovely. The whitebait in particular was delicious with a very light batter and amazing mayo, also for £5 it was a very generous portion. The halloumi fries were also served as a generous portion with thick cuts and a quite a few included in the portion (again very well priced at £5), the pesto dip for these was also delicious. We also had a couple of portions of bread which were full thick slices of tasty bread and served with oils. For the mains we had scampi (twice), halloumi burger, beef kofta and a kids pasta (ham and cheese tagliatelle). To start with the kids meal, amazing quality, think bits of ham and very cheesy. Also served with an extra pot of grated cheese to pour over which I thought was a good touch. A very good sized portion of excellent quality food which beat my 13 year old (who also ordered a side order of fries expecting it be a small portion). For £7 this was a great menu choice and would certainly fill a lot of adults up. The halloumi burger had a huge slice of halloumi, a large field mushroom, beef tomoto slice, tasty bun and homemade onion rings. It was served with fries and the tasty pesto dip that the halloumi fries came with.. delicious. The scampi was served again as a great portion size with a homemade tartar sauce and fries. Fresh tasting scampi and delicious sauce. The beef kofta was amazing with two deliciously cooked koftas, an excellent side salad, flatbread and amazing dips. It was also served with a full portion of fries. After that we were all full so didn't manage puddings! Overall the staff were friendly, although clearly very busy and the bill was fairly reasonable for what we ordered. Certainly looking forward to my next visit. Like most places in Norfolk it will likely involve a drive, but there is a good quality large car park available for customers to use.

Excellent service, caring and thoughtful as we had my 90 year old parents with us. The food is delicious, tasty, very good sized portions and good quality. Even though it was exceptionally busy the service continued to be excellent..

We had a really exceptional evening meal with friends, the quality and quantity of the food couldn’t be faulted. Can especially recommend the whitebait, and the fish gouchons. The Hunworth Bell is also beautifully presented, with a very classy interior makeover. Would highly recommend.

Food was amazing - exceptional quality salmon and cod, good sized portions. Freshly cooked and piping hot. Staff friendly and great service.

A family friendly local pub and restaurant in a pretty village location, with wonderful service, a good menu full of scrumptious food, lovely cocktails and a good selection of beers.

Took two friends to dinner here. .Simply WOW! This pub gets it right every time.The food is exceptional and the service is first class. Never disappoints.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Always very good! And friendly attentive service. Our main corses were delicious and portions were generous.

Having a 50th Birthday meal scuppered at the last minute as the venue suffered loss of gas, on a Saturday night the Hunworth Bell stepped brilliantly up to the plate to accommodate our group. The food was wonderful and the service friendly and understanding

This was our personal favourite of those pubs we visited in this area. The service was very attentive with great friendliness. The food was faultless though like all the local area pub menus not extensive or changing, which does make choosing on regular visits more...

Well presented, good value good food - no complaints!! Even the sandwiches are great and they come with chips, perfect for lunch

Lovely pub with gorgeous pub garden, great attentive staff. Me and my family had their Sunday roast around 4pm which unfortunately let us down… both potatoes and Yorkshire puddings were undercooked, gravy was quite weak and portions seemed a tad small for the price we...

We took my parents-in-law for lunch while they were staying with us, based on recommendation by friends in our village. The visit went well from the start, with a large car park and our table ready for us in the restaurant. I tried ox liver...

We prebooked a table for the bar as we had two dogs. It was nearly fully booked which indicates its popularity. We paid for drinks and both ordered scampi and chips. Normally you get a few bits of scampi and clearly frozen oven made chips....

This place REALLY deserves to do well. From the time that I booked (response by e mail in an hour) to our arrival (really friendly welcome) the service was superb. Fantastic menu, large choice of wines and beers, and every single dish we had was...

Outstanding anniversary dinner in Restaurant of the Hunny Bell. All dishes perfectly cooked and served beautifully. Service very pleasant, friendly, personable, just right. All dishes cooked with the best ingredients and skill. This has to be one of the best restaurants in the area but...

Good hospitality. We arrived a little after our booking and last food orders and could have justifiably been turned away but instead greeted warmly with good beer and food. Who can ask for more?

This is a very good pub, offering better than average pub food. The staff are cheery and welcoming. Food can be served in the pub itself, or in the linked restaurant. We chose the former and were well looked after. The food was to a...

We hadn't booked but were made welcome, even though they were fairly busy. Our food was perfect and they made me two non alcoholic cocktails as I was the driver. They also stock non alcoholic Gin. The staff are friendly and efficient.

Lovely mothers day lunch for 11 people. Staff very attentive and very friendly. Food was very good and service excellent. Sunday roast very good. Our first visit whilst in the area. Will definitely return.

The is a very nice place, with comfortable furniture, tastefully decorated and wood burning stoves. There is a bar with tables (usually for dining) and two other rooms, also for dining. This is not the kind of pub you go to for just a drink....

Saturday lunchtime it was very busy but staff were excellent and efficient. Conservatory and barn both lovely places to eat. The menu was varied and interesting and the presentation and quality of the food was excellent. A much higher quality than expected. Will definitely come...

This was the first time we have been to this establishment. The ambience is very nice and the service friendly and attentive. The food was perfectly ok without being exceptional. Prices were average given recent inflation. Car parking is adequate though might be a bit...

Having read reviews we were excited for a great roast dinner… sadly it wasn’t that great Friendly staff. Very dog friendly. The food …burger was enjoyable, good meat. Roast beef. Beef was good quality but for £18 a couple of thin slices with more fat...

We popped in for a drink at lunchtime on Sunday 26th February. My husband ordered a pint of shandy and a glass of Malbec. What a shock he got when he was charged £13.50 for one glass of wine. I did query the cost and...

We called in for lunch today, had the halloumi burger which was brilliant. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. It is a quaint old pub in a pretty little village and well worth a visit. Dogs are also welcome in the bar.

We visited the Hunny Bell for a late Sunday lunch, and it continues to provide great food in a very convivial atmosphere all served by happy staff. The beer choice isn’t too shabby either! Toby and the whole HB team need to be congratulated for...

From the initial welcome to leaving the service was friendly and very attentive even supplying a bowl of water and treat for the dog The food was excellent and for the area very reasonably priced would definitely recommend and will return Nice choice of drinks...

Welcome; quality of food (Sunday Lunch - sirloin beef) and service, really impressive! The only disappointment was that the barrel of Pintail (Moon Gazer) ran out - certainly not the fault of the establishment. A super experience.

We have visited this Pub before when holidaying in the area but hadn’t been for a year. We visited on Thursday evening having booked before hand and it was a good job we did because it was fully booked. The staff were very friendly and...

Fabulous pub. Dog friendly, seriously good food (best we've had in Norfolk), lovely staff and reasonable prices. Genuinely hard to fault. Will definitely be back with the family...

We were greeted with a smile and shown to table by the wood-burner in the restaurant. The menu had some nice Sunday lunch choices, I went for roast beef. The food took 40mins to arrive (they weren’t busy) but was nice and hot when it...

So we are Norfolk People not Londoners and we visited before christmas for a light meal. My wife asked for a large glass of red , was offered the choice of different grapes and selected Merlot. The food was good and enjoyed by all ....

This was our first visit as part of Norfolk restaurant fortnight. We enjoyed our lunch, good food, friendly staff. The portion sizes are huge. We have good appetites but the amount of food might have put some people off. Nice ambiance and it was good...

The food was good apart from the scampi which was mainly batter so to be avoided. Our friends were however impressed by the pork chop and the burger. Unfortunately the evening was spoilt by the very slow service it took one and a half hours...

Very good meal. My wife had a wonderful tasty burger and my pork chop was good size and very well cooked the vegetables served with it were excellent. The salmon and mussel starters were also very good. Service was excellent , friendly and efficient. We...

So we were staying in Wood Dalling for a long weekend and wanted a country pub with a good Sunday roast dinner….and we weren’t disappointed! Arrived early and although we were booked to way in the restaurant, we were shown through to the bar and...

Lovely setting, exceptional vegetarian roast dinner. Brilliant service from two young lads in the bar. Wish we would have found it sooner!!

We had our first visit here with family for dinner. From the helpful booking where the young lady informed us there was a quiz later that night,but,as we were in the restaurant this shouldn’t affect us (it didn’t) to the excellent, friendly service and delicious...

Phoned up for lunch; straight it, no probs (at this point I'll add that I am local and have been in many times) Cheeseburgers presented as asked, no onion rings with a side salad substitute ✔️, Abbott and San Miquel ✔️ all 💯%, no probs,...

We called in on a Sunday afternoon with the idea of just having a drink. We were made to feel very welcome (including spoiling our Springer Spaniel) and after seeing some of the food being served decided to stay for a late lunch. We both...

Good food from a varied menu, excellent service, plenty of off-road parking space. Slightly off the beaten track but a very nice country pub.

We ordered Sunday lunch in the beer garden. The food was delicious, great portions and perfectly cooked vegetables. The vegetarian lunch was wonderful too! The staff were really friendly, polite and attentive. Gorgeous setting and perfect for dogs. We will definitely be eating here again....

Fantastic food and genial staff made this restaurant a real treat to visit. The property itself is spacious and spotlessly clean with good facilities and a very spacious car park.

We really enjoyed our meal here. The restaurant area is nice and seating spread out. Staff were nice and efficient. We both had starter and main course, different choices each and they were very good. Wish we had eaten out here earlier on our trip...

Took my in-laws out for Saturday lunch. Sorted us a booking at ridiculously short notice. Staff could not have been more attentive and polite. Portions were ample- starter and main left us all happily full. The menu was varied and the food was faultless. Can't...

The staff were extremely friendly and polite They were patient as we took our time in deciding what we wanted The choices of food and wines were good with satisfactory descriptions

My family and i had dinner outside on Wednesday evening. Wonderful staff, terrific food. Just spot on. If your looking for a great meal this is it.

Went and celebrated my partners birthday and had a brilliant time! The food was very delicious and for a fair price. Would definitely go again! Thankyou for making our night a very enjoyable one

We booked late on Saturday and they could seat us at 2045. We arrived early and sat in the bar, they made me the best non alcoholic cocktail ever. The waiter took us through to the barn. It was full of young families, children and...

One of our favourite places to eat and couldn’t fault anything on our last visit. The starters was really good, nice size portions and the roast dinner is one of the best we’ve had, it’s great to see all the local produce on the menu...

We had a lovely visit to the Hunworth Bell last Thursday for our wedding anniversary. The service was friendly & helpful from the minute we arrived. When we booked, we were given the option of the bar, or the restaurant. We opted for the restaurant...

Perfect Service, Good Food & Lovely atmosphere! We had the olives. Humus & pittas to start, steak for main & the banoffee cheesecake for dessert and it was all really nice! There was a really good atmosphere coming from the bar area as well. Staff...

Stopped for lunch and had two seasonal dishes, wild garlic, courgette and pea tagliatelle and wild garlic chicken and bacon, both lovely. Great friendly service. Would definitely return.

Really good food and lovely atmosphere, staff very informative and friendly. Prices within good range. Would come again

We visited here because it is the sister restaurant of the Duck Inn at Stanhoe, which we love. The staff were very pleasant and efficient, but the dining room perhaps lacked a bit of ambience. But the food was the let down for us. The...

We sat outside because our dogs are a bit naughty but still had a beef roast with some chips and an extra bowl of buttered greens between the two of us. So far above the average pub in every way. Beef, roasties, yorkshire, veg all...

Being vegetarian it’s quite limited on menu here, but the dishes I had where excellent! The staff was amazing(as always) I hope the owner(s) realise how great there staff is!! Hats off to you!

Great menu with plenty of allergy friendly options, friendly and helpful service and lovely food. Would thoroughly recommend for an evening meal and will definitely be back.

Fabulous and friendly dinner last night in the dog friendly bar area. Lovey bar snacks for starters ( patatas bravas /hummus , olives and flat bread) followed by a magnificent chunk of sirloin for me and a mushroom cannelloni for the other half. Great attentive...

Overall good food but not excellent. My lamb could have been more tender and some more of the gravy/juices would have added more flavour. The triple brownie was EXCELLENT and well worth the £8. Dessert standard based on the brownie was much higher than the...

The first thing to say is that the restaurant was absolutely freezing and the second is that our party of four concluded that it was probably one of the worst meals we’ve had … Inedible lamb dish, overcooked trout, two mediocre burgers. The desserts were...

Wonderful, I can’t find fault. We were a group of 14 and a couple of other places said they don’t take groups of that size. No issues here. But don’t be out off if you’re a smaller group. Great acoustics and lay out mean a...

Absolutely stunning. First class in every way. The staff were extremely friendly and professional. The food was outstanding. Probably the best Beef roast dinner I have ever eaten. Well done you.

Excellent service, spacious restaurant, superb food. The highlight for me was the smoked salmon starter. A simple dish but really good presentation and the additions on the plate came together with the fish to provide wonderful taste.

Excellent Sunday dinner. Beef cooked to perfection. We were asked how we wanted it cooking. I counted the greens in the dish there was cabbage kale fine green beans peas baby leeks. And a separate dish of cauliflower cheese. The Yorkshire pudding was large Fabulous....
