Great Sunday roast, good portion size, loads of extra gravy and excellent quality. The kids menu was also really good and the waiting staff were extremely accommodating when it came to making changes to our orders.

Went for a meal with my dad, sat outside in the sunshine as we had the dog with us and had an absolutely lovely meal here.

Stunning country pub serving up delicious plates of food and very generous portions. Perfect venue for Sunday roast with friends and family in a cosy setting.

We had lunch here as part of Norfolk Restaurant week and we will definitely be back. The food was superb, especially the venison which was tender and very flavoursome. The staff were all friendly and welcoming and the building is cosy and full of character. We are so pleased we went there!

We were in the Norwich area and required food. This popped up as one of the nearest places and we didn’t even look at the menu. We walked in and got a table without booking. When nosying around I started to get the feel for the place. We’ve been to Michelin star and fine dining places enough and as such expectations are raised as well as the menu prices. Staff were experienced and very helpful when catering for my food intolerances, the decor well appointed and rustic and the aromas from the kitchen were hunger inducing and we like the ethos around locally sourced food. We just wanted a bite to eat so only had a main meal. The Pheasant dish arrived as did the venison for my wife, I got food envy. A well presented plate but was underwhelmed by the portion size and didn’t leave me satisfied. Perhaps as part of a three course menu it would have been about right. The meat was well cooked but seemed to lack the game flavour I was expecting. The sauce was a little bitter and left a slight burnt aftertaste I wasn’t overly fond of. The accompaniments were well cooked. The venison and sauce were unctuous, the portion a great size but given the near 150% price difference quite honestly I wouldn’t have expected less and my wife still managed it all. It would be a little harsh to give just 3 stars and I really struggle with this review. I tend to avoid hotel restaurants as the prices do tend to be inflated and we didn’t check the place out thoroughly, it also isn’t a Michelin star restaurant, although seems close to it and so shouldn’t be held to quite that high an account - very tricky. Would we eat there again? Maybe.

This is a really nice place to visit the food is always great well presented and the service is excellent and the staff are really great. My only concern was the menu choices, as it serves local produce the choices on my last visit seemed lacking and not as balanced as a menu should be, none of my group of friends had a desert as there were only 3 choices and not very inspiring.

Excellent service from all of the staff; we felt very looked after by everyone, particularly Kaylie (spelling?) who was extremely attentive. Venue was really nice, clean, modern and period and cozy. Food was great as it was hot, quickly received, although I would like my roasties to be crispy if I am honest. Very happy. Thank you.

Always a warm welcome here. River over the road where people sit and children play in the summer. Food is excellent quality, although I would personally appreciate more vegetarian options. Best to book - this is a popular place.

I recently stayed at The Kings Head for one night on a business trip. The hotel was easy to find and had plenty of free parking. I was met by Ella, who was extremely polite and made sure all my questions were answered. She showed me to my room and explained all of the amenities to me. The room was well-appointed and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was large and comfortable, and the bathroom was clean and modern. I also had a great view of the gardens from my room. I had an evening meal in the bar, and it was excellent. I had a great pint of local ale and the food was outstanding. The service was also very good, and the prices were very reasonable. Overall, I had a very enjoyable stay at The Kings Head. The hotel is well-located, the rooms are comfortable, and the food is excellent. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the area. I hope this review is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions. P.S. I would also like to add that the hotel is very clean and well-maintained. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

Excellent place for breakfast, wonderful location, friendly helpful staff and a quality full English (King's Breakfast) also has the real bonus of being super dog friendly.

Went for Sunday lunch, was surprised when we were told we should have booked as they cook roasts per booking, but the staff were great and they managed to sort us with roasts. Great food. Recommend booking in advance

Warm, Personal Experience. The Kings Head in Bawburgh provided the perfect setting for celebrating several significant family moments. From the moment we walked in, we were enveloped in a warm and personal atmosphere that set the tone for a memorable weekend. The staff were exemplary, consistently going above and beyond to ensure our experience was nothing short of fantastic. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality made us all feel truly special. The food was exceptional, beautifully presented, and delicious, showcasing a wonderful blend of local ingredients and culinary expertise. The ambiance of the Kings Head is both charming and inviting, with a cozy yet elegant decor that makes you feel right at home. Whether you're marking a special occasion or simply enjoying a night out, the Kings Head in Bawburgh is a fantastic choice. We left with full hearts and full bellies, grateful for such an unforgettable experience.

Been a regular visitor to the Kings for many years now; and it just keeps getting better and better. Anton and the team are doing a fantastic job and both the food and service and always on point. Great to see their continued support for local produce with their 48.5-mile menu. Keep up the excellent work, undoubtedly see you again soon.

Beautiful pub, excellent service, top notch food. Very impressed with the fish finger sandwich, wasn't expecting nearly so much on the plate but it was absolutely delicious.

Love the coffee here so thought we'd pop in for a quick bite to eat as we were in the area. We ordered two flat whites and two fishfinger sandwiches and a bowl of chips. We were not expecting the absolute behemoth that appeared in front of us - see pics - no Cap'n Birds Eye here 😂 Service was quick and staff super friendly. Can 100% recommend!

After a debauched Saturday afternoon on the Norfolk Broads, our stag group of weary, bloated thirtysomethings hauled ourselves into taxis to honour our dinner reservations at this quiet and refined countryside pub, where the giant, boucle dining chairs ensconce you and prearranged food choices are hurriedly delivered to your table. The staff were warm and good-humoured in the face of their understandable bemusement at our low energy, as well as many of my friends’ inability to finish their hearty meat dishes. I, meanwhile, delighted in the beautifully presented salt-baked celeriac, accompanied by the tastiest shimeji mushrooms and artfully sprinkled with pieces of hazelnut and fenugreek – all proudly sourced within 48.5 miles of the premises. In a weekend of chaos, the Kings Head gifted me a treasured interlude of expertly executed gastronomic joy. If I’m ever back in the area, there’s only one place I’m heading for dinner.
