The Kings Head in Breckland

A fantastic, friendly country pub. A very warm welcome and traditional. Outstanding food and well cared for real ale. Publicans obviously know their stuff. Highly recommended.

This lovely pub has recently been taken over by new owners Martin and Louise. They have reintroduced a lunchtime menu, regularly have food trucks and Gish abd chips at weekends and have 3 beautifully furnished ensuite rooms to let.

You are guaranteed a warm welcome at The Kings head. Good quality beers and food (plus regular guest food options) are a staple, always a pleasure to visit. Also including guest rooms for accommodation, an excellent base for anyone looking to visit the area.

I had a great scampi and chips. The landlord and lady were very welcoming and they told me about the nights they had planned I.e. quiz nights folk night etc. I'm looking forward to visiting again.

Amazing place! We actually stayed in this place to spend the night, and we were happy with our choice! The place is really well located, in the heart of Norfolk, very close to the lovely Norfolk Coast, Thetford Forest or Sandringham Estate, to mention a few. Banham Zoo is only 10 minutes away by car. The rooms are amazing, very comfortable bed, nice and new bathroom and plenty of choice for continental breakfast. We absolutely loved our stay. The host, and their dogs, Cocoa and Whisky, were very friendly and welcoming too.

The sandwiches were tasty and the new owners are very nice people. And our children loved Cocoa and Whiskey, the owners' cuckapoos! We plan to go there for dinner once.

Great pub, nice atmosphere and new owners very friendly and accommodating. Had a cider and a fantastic coronation chicken sandwich, recommend it! Good to see the improvements made, good seating back, front and inside.

We came to The Kings Head to watch a band, we noticed the week before there was accommodation available to rent and booked this so we were able to celebrate my birthday. Louise and Martin are such lovely and welcoming landlady/lord, and the accommodation was completely perfect, nothing was too much, everything was spotless and stunning with an en-suite. I can highly recommend the pub for the great atmosphere and entertainment that is put on, the beer garden is lovely and everyone is welcome including dogs!

Still the best pint of Adnams Southwold in the area. Pub is open most days at 5pm. Warm and welcoming. Music club 3rd Thursday in the month.

Never tried it before but had driven past a few time from East Harling to Diss so we thought we'd give it a try. The menu is quite big for what is a quiet village, so that impressed us, but then they didn't have my first choice. Friendly atmosphere and obviously the locals are very comfortable here, which is a good sign. I must admit the paella and 1 slice of garlic bread didn't wow me regarding size or taste, but I'd go back to try it and judge it on a Sunday roast - that's the test of a country pub !

This event was attended by about 24 people in December the staff at the Kings Head N. Lopham provided an excellent meal with lots of variations to cope with and a lovely atmosphere so well done to all at the Kings Head.

We took my parents for Sunday lunch and I have to say all in all fantastic. A lovely country pub with a nice relaxed and hospitable feel. The staff are personable and attentive and the food was spot on 'pub grub. The bank holiday sausage special menu was a real winner. A great concept with 70 odd choices. Just making our choices added a light hearted debate. If you want a no fuss pub experience The Kings Head is a great choice. Thank you.

Four of us went on a Saturday night and all chose differently from the menu. Varied menu and quite a good choice on the specials board.at reasonable prices. Staff pleasant.

My wife and myself, from North Yorkshire, were staying in the area with family. This afternoon I booked four for dinner, at 7pm this evening, after reading trip advisor reviews. When we arrived nearly all tables were taken but ours was reserved so no problem. The staff were obviously busy and we had to wait a short time to be served drinks. The barman apologised for the delay and produced drinks quickly showing us to our table. We all ordered different meals and these were served in the time we would expect the meals to be cooked fresh. Everyone enjoyed the food and the first pint of Adnams ale, ordered by two of us, turned into a second without hesitation. This was our first visit to the Kings Head at North Lopham and we were not disappointed all were satisfied with the outcome.

Visited the pub while seeing family in the area, had a great meal service was prompt and friendly. They were very happy to alter the menu for a couple of fussy eaters with us. Menu was varied and not over priced. 2 courses for £10.50 bargin🙂 Would visit again.

This pub is in North Lopham not Diss. I lived here in the 80's and the Pub was central to village life. In the 90's it closed and was reopened about 10 years ago. I now live in Oz and was so pleased to see many of the old locals enjoying the Pub again. Also the best ham, egg and chips ever. Well done.

Heard about their "sausage" weekend and decided to walk up for lunch. Went to the bar and ordered a lager and a pint of soda water. The price was astronomical, the soda water being almost as expensive as the lager. The landlord was not welcoming. I tried to make small talk with him and he grunted something and walked away. Got the sausage menu which had very few of the choices left and each sausage was £2 and not a decent size, If you wanted chips or anything else, that was additional. This is the 3rd time of trying this place and, yet again, did not get a friendly welcome. Would not go back

We have always enjoyed our visits to The Kings Head which is one of our local pubs. Friendly staff, well kept beers and good, honest food.

What a pub should be! Came in as a group and had an amazing roast lunch! The beer is really well kept - one of the best pints we've had! You certainly know how to look after guests. Everyone is so friendly. Even the chef came out and proudly delivered my handwritten vegan menu and had a chat with us! I really wasn't expecting that .. I had SO many amazing choices it was hard to choose! I went for the mixed seed, quinoa, carrot and coriander bake along with roast veg and my own pot of gravy. The others had roast chicken and beef and equally raved about theirs and the fact each had their own gravy pot tailored to what roast they had. The potatoes actually tasted like potatoes wow! I highly recommend this and really well worth a visit and will certainly be back when down this way or even make a trip to visit! Thank you!

If I was able to run a pub I would want one just like this. Nice, relaxed feel when we walked in as a group of adults, teenagers and a younger child. Everyone, dogs included, was very friendly and pleasant. We were made to feel incredibly welcome, so much so that we ate here on more than one occasion whilst staying in the village. The scampi was excellent! The bar staff were most friendly and chatty and we all felt valued as customers. The crazy golf in the garden was a nice extra for the boys to do whilst we relaxed over a drink in the garden. Thank you all for making our stay in the village all the more enjoyable with your warm welcome.

We had Sunday lunch at this excellent dog friendly pub. The staff are friendly & welcoming. It was delightful to see true customer service at its best, extended to both regulars & new customers in equal measure. Good home cooked food with very reasonable prices. Beautiful old world pub with spacious car park. Highly recommend.

Just what you want to see in country pub.Dogs lying across the floor as there owners chat.Fine Beer and Food and a lovely ambience.Well done because few seem to be able to achieve this any more.It takes Talent to run a Good Pub

We booked a table and were not told that it was Sausage Festival Day - but no matter - it turned out to be a treat. Over 100 types of sausages on offer (crossed off the menu if they sold out of any variety). Served with the usual (mash or chips/Yorkshire pudding/peas/gravy etc). Friendly publicans, very cheerful and efficient young waiters and waitresses. A very attractive, busy, village pub.

We visited this pub this evening looking for a different place to eat . Ordered the Seafood Paella from the Specials board when it arrived it contained the least amount of seafood and chicken i have ever seen . Very dry in texture and tasteless and definetly not worth the £10.25 cost To top it all i was charged at least £2 for a pint of tap water with a dash of lime juice . Will definitely not try again .

Angie and her team are lovely! Fluff in the kitchen produces delicious home cooked food - nothing is too much trouble! We love it!!!

The kings head is one of my favourites in the area, the owner is friendly and welcoming and the food is good and great value for money. I booked a table for 9 with family and friends on a Friday pie and mash night. Food was great and the owner Angie was really lovely & accommodating and brought out some toys for the children which kept them busy and quiet throughout the meal. A nice evening and a little gem of a pub

Called in here for a couple of beers when staying in Lopham. Good beer with good service. Sat outside on a beautiful sunny afternoon, very nice.

We headed here for some lunch, having just left the Bressingham Steam Museum. This place is a lovely, traditional British pub with a welcoming appeal to it, as soon you walk in the door.

We dined with friends after a walk in the North Lopham area. Service was very friendly and attentive and of a high standard. Two of us had the special two course meal and the other two the £9.25 three course Saturday lunch.

This is the 3rd time we have used this venue for our Christmas meal. Freshly cooked well presented meal delicious meal. Different from the run of the mill meals

Tried the American diner weekend lunch as a treat for the family. Great food and service - husband said ribs were delicious and tender and my southern fried chicken was really tasty. Thanks and will return soon

Good beer, pleasant welcome, pretty flower tubs, clean interior, quick service, reasonable prices. Only regret is that we visited by chance and live too far away for a regular return.

I used to go to this pub often with my family until i noticed the service had gone down and changed to another restaurant. This was sadly due to my husband finding beef on his vegetarian roast plate. We recently revisited and were greeted with the same disappointing service. Firstly, the food took over an hour to come which for a quiet afternoon was unusual. The steak was under cooked and the chips were covered in oil so i ended up leaving most of my meal. My families meals were even slightly cold and felt like they had been put in the microwave due to condensation drips on the side..

Inaitially couldn't find a Tripadvisor page for the North Lopham's Kings Head, until I discovered it was misplaced under Diss - some considerable distance away. Make no mistake, The Kings Head is very much a country village pub, and a very good one at that. This was our second visit, lots of villagers drinking there on both occasions, and a very good indication of a popular village pub. Our visit was to eat, for the second time, and again we were not disappointed. There is a good basic menu and a comprehensive daily specials board.

Just home following Sunday lunch at the King's Head. Very impressed with the service, and friendly staff. Had booked over the phone as my second choice as hadn't been able to get in at our usual place. Did had some reservations, as we were treating my son and his girlfriend, so hoped we wouldn't be disappointed. No need to have worried, cannot fault the food nor anything else. Was busy (a good sign) and our reserved table was waiting. Choice of roast beef or roast pork, and around 10 other dishes on the board, including vegetarian and fish options. My husband and I both went for the roast pork, my son had the home-made steak and ale pie, and his girlfriend chose glazed salmon with new potatoes and salad. The roast dinners were generous portions, plenty of meat, several crispy roast potatoes and a home-made Yorkshire pudding. 3 vegetables plus mashed carrot/swede. My husband particularly enjoyed the crackling! We all cleaned up our plates and decided we would try pudding! Again, several home-made desserts on offer, plus a couple that were bought in (I love the honesty!). I had toffee lumpy bumpy cake (not home-made), the others had cheesecake and brownie, these were home-made and all puddings offered with the choice of cream or ice-cream. The bill came to £68 for 4 including drinks, and we shall definitely book again.

A family Sunday lunch was most enjoyable in a small dining room in this village pub which is obviously very popular with locals.

I was in the area for a business meeting. I had driven for 3 & 1/2 hours straight and thought it might be nice to have the meeting over lunch. I called ,y customer and asked them to meet me at this pub as it was down the road. I arrived at 11:45 and the door was shut but not locked. I entered and saw a woman standing in the kitchen behind the bar reading or writing something. I walked in and said " Good morning, are you open.?"

The pub is beautiful to look at with ample parking. There is a garden area and dogs are welcome. There is a lounge bar, with a dining area. The welcome was warm and the locals certainly make you feel welcome too, which is nice for a village pub. The food is very good value 'pub grub'. Special dishes available on the board and the portions are a good size.

Another superb meal at the Kings Head. This time we had the Valentines Menu, a perfectly cooked Filet Steak with hand cooked chips, wonderful White Chocolate and Raspberry Cheesecake to follow. Husband enjoyed the Steak and Ale Pie. Do give this lovely old pub a try - you will not be disappointed!

Just moved into the village and wanted to try the local. Lovely friendly staff, great ales, ciders and wine selection. Lunch was lovely all had something different from hot homemade pies, sandwiches and lovely desserts. Will be back with the kids next time.

A very warm & friendly welcome. The restaurant caters for coeliac's with a wide choice of dishes available. The food was excellent, the portions generous & the price very reasonable. I will definitely visit again when next in Norfolk

Welcoming pub with lovely food. Very reasonably priced To find a place with a understanding of gluten free diets is a real delight. A separate gluten free desert menu was a bonus. Thank you

Went to the pub for a meal and the scampi and ham egg and chips were just so boring! Which don't they do real chips! It's lazy and horrible... Sort that out and I might come back.. the people wet very pleasant but that didn't make up for it... beans and home made onion rings would have made it nicer too!

This was our first visit to The King's Head for my birthday. When we entered the bar we were greeted very warmly. The restaurant is small and the menu is good with a specials board, not a vast choice but the food was good. We will go again.

The Kings Head is a lovely pub in the center of a charming south Norfolk village. We have called here a few times in the past for a drink and a meal and always found everything to be satisfactory but our recent visit proved to be a bit of a let down. The service was very good as were our drinks but our meal of steak and Guinness pie with potatoes and peas proved to be very ordinary and not good value for money. I am sure that we can find better value in the area for our next visit.

Fantastic performance of Oscar Wilde "Lord Arthur Savile's Crime" last night at The Kings Head. Really a great show and highly recommended. A big thank you to George and Angie for the wonderful curry. Will defiantly go to next performance.

First time visiting the Kings Head for Sunday lunch, and it won't be our last. The food was exactly what we are looking for, nice home cooked comfort food that leaves you with that very full feeling. The service was excellent, very very friendly. The portions were ideal, even though too much for our young 5 year old. Menu great, food great and service great. Breath of fresh air!

This was our first visit to The Kings Head and I must say what a lovely Pub it was. When we entering the Bar Staff was so nice and made us feel really welcome. We ordered the home made steak & ale pie and it was delightful. The Couple that owned the pub were so friendly and could not do enough for us. I will defiantly be visiting again and would highly recommend this pub if your in Diss.

We have decided that this is one of the best local pubs in the South Norfolk area. The food is always excellent and the homemade deserts are heart warming. Again, I recommend you try this at least once!

We regularly have lunch at the King' head. George and Angie are always welcoming. The food is excellent and prepared on site, the specials are brillant, and the Sunday lunches make you want to be there every Sunday. They welcome dogs in the bar area. Not only are George and Angie friendly but so are the locals! They do bring in the ocassional dessert and you know which one(s) they are because the appear below the line on the dessert listing. It is best to call ahead as they are very, very busy on weekends, and Fridays, in fact, they can be very busy at anytime during the week. You have to try this at least once.
