We stayed at the Kings head for 2 nights in August what a super gem of a hotel. The food and accomodation was excellent. We were made very welcome and will definitely stay again.

We had a lovely stay here at the Kings Head after a visit to Haughton Hall. The staff were warm and welcoming and our very pretty room and bathroom were comfortable and clean. We had a very nice dinner in the restaurant. We slept so well and in the morning Sandra (the owner) looked after us with breakfast. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.

Weekend stay for my wife’s birthday, we had never been to this hotel before and it is always a gamble but the experience was excellent, all the staff could not have been more helpful and the decor and food was to a very high standard. At some stage my car keys fell out of my pocket and although they were handed in to reception they had been run over and did not work but everyone from the hotel handy man to the reception did their very best to help but in the end my brother in law saved the day by bringing my spare key. If you are looking for some time out in this lovely part of Norfolk I would strongly recommend giving the Kings Head a visit, it is rear these days but I could not fault food, accommodation or service.

We (2 adults and a child) called in here a few weeks ago. It was around 19:50pm and we hadn't booked. We asked at the bar if we could order food, the bar man went and asked the rude woman owner/manager and she told him it would be around 30 minutes (we could hear this conversation) we ordered drinks and went and sat down. While I appreciate it could be busy in the kitchen the place itself was not busy, we were told we could sit wherever we wanted. I got menus and also checked should we ordered at the bar and was told someone would come and take our order. After 45 minutes my husband went back to the bar and ordered another drink and also checked would someone be taking our order. He had spoken with the rude woman manager/owner who told him to bare with them and someone would be over. 30 minutes later the rude woman came to our table to tell us they were too busy to take our order. Despite the fact it was clear to see how much more empty it was. If they had explained they we're busy and refused us at 7:50pm when we still had chance to get food somewhere else we would have completely understood. Instead we wasted time and money on drinks! All the while our son getting more hungry and we we're then unable to eat anywhere else. She tried to deny we had made the initial enquiry at 7:50pm and tried to claim her first acknowledgement of us being there was when my husband had gone and enquired for the 2nd time 30 minutes earlier when getting another drink. But even if that was true she didn't tell him they were no longer taking orders. The owner has since lied regarding our experience rather than simply apologising. She is trying to claim that on the 2 occasions we enquired about our order being taken, we were never guaranteed to have our order taken. Why would we continue to order drinks and wait until after 9pm with a hungry child just on the chance we may have our order taken when we could have just gone somewhere else at 19:50. We had been in for drinks a couple of nights earlier and my husband had said he didn't want to go in there again as they were rude. We were staying local in an air bnb and due to convenience I convinced him to give them the benefit of the doubt. Such a shame because the place looks nice from the outside but the rude woman running the place totally let's it down.

What a beautiful hotel. Very clean and our bedroom was so spotless and comfortable. Our luggage was taken up to our room on arrival. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who were very friendly and accommodating . Excellent food made to order and the extensive breakfast menu was a joy. The bar staff and Resturant was run very efficiently . Our luggage was taken from our room to the car on leaving. My husband and I would thoroughly recommend this Hotel and hope to visit again very soon. Ideal if your visiting Sandringham and so convenient for near by attractions Many thanks compliments to you all

This was a Thursday evening and the venue was almost empty. There were six in our party, one had scallops as a starter and these were cold, one had fish for a main and this was seriously overcooked and the other four were happy with the food served. We often meet as a group and this was by far the most expensive meal we have taken. There were no apologies for the two sub standard dishes which were served. I now understand why the place was almost deserted.

Had a wonderful one night stay at this lovely hotel. The room was small but was perfect for one night. It was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. Dinner was wonderful. The menu is extensive, the food is excellent and the portions are enormous! The breakfast was next level! Probably the nicest breakfast I have ever had in a hotel. The service was incredible and we were made to feel like nothing was too much trouble. If you find yourself in this area then this hotel is a gem!

Very disappointed. I had mackerel for a starter. It was overcooked, under seasoned and had soggy skin. The main of monks tail and prawn Thai curry was spicy but again lacked a depth of flavour. Served with naan and lime pickle it was not typical Thai accompaniments. The service was great. I definitely wouldn’t go back.

Parking inadequate, on a Wednesday lunchtime in November there were no spaces and a number of cars needed to reverse out. On entering we were struck by the lack of atmosphere for a "country hotel", it seems more like an inner city chain hotel. When we ordered informing the waitress that one of us had a severe nut allergy (just for information/safety), we were shocked when her response was "yes, but do you like them?" - clearly there is a need for training! After all this the meal was excellent and the service during the meal very good. The lack of atmosphere and apparent lack of understanding of life threatening allergies, however, means that we won't return.

Having not served evening meals or lunches for over a year, the fully functioning restaurant is a very welcome facility in the village. The menu is varied and not stupidly priced. What we ate tonight was well executed and ample portions. The food is highly recommended. Not reviewed as 5 star because a couple of our group didn’t feel they were made to feel welcome. Disappointing as we could become very regular customers.

Great hotel , ideal central location for visiting North Norfolk . Friendly staff , great breakfast and comfortable and clean well decorated accommodation. The hotel did warn us weeks in advance that evening meals were not available due to staff shortages, which is unfortunate as we have previously stayed here and the restaurant was very good but at least , with being pre warned , we made other arrangements for evening meals . We had considered staying at an alternative hotel but discounted this idea as the Kings Head represents good value for money and we will be rebooking for next year.

We needed a venue for a suprise 92nd birthday party for a very special person who lives in the area. Almost 30 friends and colleagues were coming from all over the country. We liaised closely in advance with the delightful manager Lisa Raines. She was not only helpful but proactive and inventive as well. Nothing was too much trouble. the rooms were very nice, all the staff were helpful but Kieran was extra helpful with technical things for our slideshow and we couldn't have done it without him. As a result, the day, the surprise, the room layout and the lunch were all just perfect. The food was marvellous too. We hope that the Kings Head can find a chef as good as the event chef so that they can open their dining room again for lunches and dinners. We are very grateful for everyone's help in making this an unforgettable party.

We visited for dinner whilst staying locally. The hotel has been redecorated and the interior was very white and rather bland. The food was okay, but we felt we were eating in a very clinical environment. This is the only restaurant in Great Biircham and looks lovely from the outside, just needs a little warmth on the inside.

Visited on 24-09-2021, and subsequently again on 28-09-2021, whilst staycationing in Sandringham and on both occasions we were dealt with by Kieran, what a professional, polite & considerate member of staff; as was Chloe our server from the first visit. We booked tables for 6pm each evening, arriving early for drinks, which proved to be no issue whatsoever. Each meal was clearly freshly prepared - we had cauliflower & Stilton soup, pan seared scallops, cod in beer batter and fish cakes for our meals - they were extremely tasty, a credit to the chef(s). What a truly excellent venue, with excellent food and professional staff; a must location to visit.

Having had a good lunch here prior to lockdown we decided to break our journey and booked a table for dinner on this occasion. Have to say we were disappointed I ordered chicken which should have been served with a white wine jus. The sauce was dark in colour and so salty it ruined the whole meal. My partner ordered the fish platter which was very greasy. We did mentioned the saltiness of the chicken dish to staff but didn’t feel they took much notice we doubt the chef received our feedback.

I have read many reviews on hotels and restaurants in Norfolk, who all appear to be suffering problems, shortage of staff, those present under trained, hence poor service and second rate food. None of this applies to The Kings Head. We were met with a smile and had we a reservation, which we did. Would we like pre dinner drinks, yes. The drinks came promptly, plus the menu. Enjoyed our drinks and placed our order. Invited to the table, spotless, and starter duly came. I had fish cakes with salad excellent as were my wife’s tempura prawns in the lightest of batter. I opted for dover sole as a main, my wife lamb shank, again both excellent. We had no room for a desert so had coffee in the lounge area of the bar. All in all a most pleasant evening. Staff attentive and everywhere was spotless. We will certainly return.

My partner and I have visited the Kings Head once or twice recently for coffee and decided to book a meal this evening as DNA (the Band) were playing.We booked a table in the Bar area which the staff were happy to accommodate.We chose to share the Mussels to start with. Absolutely delicious I then had the Lambs Liver which came with a mash and ham hock side as well as bacon, roasted shallot and green beans. Thoroughly enjoyable. My partner had the Sea Bass. For dessert, he had the Bread and Butter Pudding. I tried a little. It is not generally a favourite of mine, but this was the best ever! I had a Pecan Ice Cream. Yummy!Very good service.

The owner just says she hasn’t had this problem before !!!!. Maybe she should read a few reviews or maybe it’s going through a bad patch, we heard it was up for sale.

On entering reception we were warmly greeted by Lisa the receptionist. In fact all the team were exceptionally pleasant which sets a lovely tone. Our room was very comfortable, however we were disturbed late at night and early morning by noise from the room above. We had stayed here before and the Food was our main reason for returning. We thought that this time the menu was limited especially as the only meat dish (Pork) apart from a £24 Sirloin steak, was not available. It was basically the same menu the following evening. Breakfasts are superb and cooked to order. We will still return again as it is good value.

I have been here several times and it’s been good food. Went last Saturday night ordered 2 steaks and fish and chips, the fish had no taste at all and was poorly battered and cooked. The sirloin steaks were both very fatty, very chewy and not well cooked neither. We did complain and asked for discount as I hate paying for rubbish food that I could cook better at home myself. The manager wouldn’t knock anything off which I thought was small minded in mentality, if she’d knocked a tenner off the bill and apologised I would go back. As she argued with me that the dinner was good even though it was poor and she hadn’t seen or tasted my dinner I now won’t go back. It wasn’t about the money I can certainly afford an £84 meal if it’s worth it and not what you would expect to find in a cheap 3 star hotel! Sorry manager you didn’t handle the complaint well neither, need yo brush up on your customer service skills.

One of now a large number of restaurants in Norfolk opening their doors for a limited period with fixed price limited menus. A great opportunity to eat somewhere different or even experiment. The deal is £18 for 2 courses, £23 for 3 courses generally. The menus have 4 choices of each course from which to choose. We both opted for a delicious roasted tomato and bell pepper soup coming with warm rustic bread. We then both had pan fried pork and limited veg. Absolutely mouthwatering but another 2 or so potatoes would have been good. However my Sandringham apple crumble with adequate custard was huge and the cheese and biscuits at no extra charge was also big. Staff pleasant helpful but unfortunately only 2 at front of house to action everything meaning service standard could and should have been higher but no fault of the hard working staff themselves. Perhaps there were more Norfolk Restaurant week diners than anticipated?

Despite asking to see the wine menu and having a wine menu given to us the server never came back until the end of the meal to take plates and ask if we wanted desserts.

Two criticisms: on two days only the owner was available for breakfast service, reception, and answering the phone.

We visited this place for the first time on Saturday Night. We were greeted by a bar man that was definitely over the top. We went through to the restaurant the food was lovely but the staff were running round like headless chickens even though they weren't busy . Staff were discussing customers where other guests could hear clearly. Something must have gone wrong with an order as it was heard one member of staff saying to another "just tell them there is a problem in the kitchen." One group was then seated only to find that there was only 3 chairs and they needed 4. They were moved to another table, got sat down then moved back to their original table. 'Their' dessert was brought but they hadn't had their starters. A member of another party asked for ordinary peas instead of crushed peas but got no peas. Another party had a problem with their bill they had someone else's drinks on it. The person in charge was rude and abrupt to them and said that she would have to check with the bar staff about the order when it was her who had taken their order at the table. All in all it was like a sketch out of Faulty Towers.

Seeing a recent restaurant review, I felt somewhat hesitant to our forthcoming Sunday lunch in the bar at The Kings Head, Bircham. I need not worry. Dogs were welcome but I emphasise, only in the bar area. Having eaten, more than once, previously in the restaurant, prior to having our chocolate lab, I was surprised at the review with the Daschund!

We stopped for a quick lunch on the way back from a walk at the coast. The food was average to good, My daughter had fish and chips, the chunky chips were a little undercooked. The main problem was lack of staff, the young waitress was polite and happy but the older lady appeared to be a real mood, felt very uncomfortable. Then we waited about 20 mins at the bar to pay. It's a shame as we work really hard and were looking forward to a nice meal out with my daughter, we rarely get time out as a family, but I can't say we felt at all welcome here and won't be back.

We had 2 nights here in February hotel was very quiet but Service was excellent from reception, to restaurant and housekeeping. We had a lovely superior room. Food was of a high standard. Loved the breakfast options especially the eggs benedict and would suggest you eat in restaurant. Good value for money. Will return.

Spent Christmas Eve to 27th December at this lovely hotel (Christmas package). The food was fantastic, the owners were lovely and very guest focussed. Little touches really made it special. This was the first Christmas with my new partner and we wanted to do something different. This was perfect and totally relaxing. Would recommend visiting at any time.

Visited 10/11/17 with friends for Norfolk restaurant week, and so glad we decided to give this place a try. Not visited for years, despite it only behind some 7 miles away. Will we return? You bet we will! Lovely atmosphere, staff very friendly providing great service, and the food was excellent. The four of us had different mains, and were all faultless and very tasty. Drink prices very sensible, making whole evening good value for money for the quality of food we had. With all the good pubs/restaurants we have in the area, I would say this is up there amongst the best we’ve visited for a while. Thank you!

Visited this restaurant as part of Norfolk restaurant week. Hadn’t been here for years so seemed a good chance to revisit. Really impressed with the food, the service and the surroundings. Lovely bar area for pre-dinner drinks. The restaurant itself is spacious and has a nice atmosphere - it was pretty much full which was good to see. We all had two courses which were beautifully presented and delicious. We couldn’t manage a dessert! Wine prices sensible. Service was first class. Now we have re-discovered this place we intend to return regularly as we only live a 20 minute drive away. Would highly recommend.

My wife and myself both had the Mediterranean Vegetable Tagliatelle for lunch accompanied by a bottle of Sauvignon blanc. Both the food and wine were delicious. I have no hesitation in recommending the restaurant to others.

This was the first time we had visited this pub/restaurant since the new owners took over. We were lucky that the sun was shining so we were able to eat outside on the pretty patio. Service was good - attentive and professional. My fish cake starter was quite tasty but my beef strogonoff was tough and the strips of meat were too big. It should have been a fillet cut but quite evidently wasn't. My husband had chosen the sirloin steak which was also tough - probably the same meat as mine.

Lovely food and nice staff! Quite expensive for a bar menu but big portions that were well cooked. The fish and chips and mixed grill were particularly good, huge piece of fish.

Entrantes eran muy corrientes. Pedimos vino 2013, como 2014, pero nos gustó. Dos platos tenían pelos en ellos. Queso rancio y uvas tenía moho en ellos. Totalmente de personal por el volumen de clientes en una noche de sábado. No volvería. No cumplir con las expectativas.

Me habían recomendado este restaurante. Éramos 4 de nosotros. Reserva de última hora hizo. El servicio fue super sin ser intrusivo. En la medida en que tener lo oyó una conversación con el camarero MD se tomara la molestia de mostrar uno de nuestro grupo su preferido en el estado crudo pescado! ! Comida excelente. Sin duda recomiendo este restaurante encantador.

Que comí mi camino a través del menú mientras que en la zona. Las tres noches tenía espárragos frescos locales, lo cual fue encantador. Las dos primeras noches fueron asada en sus más elegantes arreglos con huevos escalfados y la última noche me hicieron una sencilla versión de vapor. Yo también tenía el cerdo y cordero ambos estaban bien hecha y el asado de cerdo con muchos accompanyments llegó. La comida era atractivo y estilo inglés contemporáneo. Si en la zona es un buen lugar para ir no viajar lejos para ir aquí.

We needed an early dinner and were certainly delighted with what we found. The food was excellent as were the drinks. We were served by extremely pleasant young people who made our meal a real delight. We shall, as General McArthur once said, return.

Reservamos este bajo recomendación y no me decepcionó la mejor comida en Norfolk, no nos podemos quejar de la comida, la presentación, el servicio o el entorno. El restaurante estaba lleno, así que siempre es una buena señal. Una noche agradable, con comida excepcional sin duda volveremos.

Great looking venue but the worst meal I’ve had in a long time went with family I think if I was on our own would have left meal and gone I had fish and chips thought would be nice it was over cooked on top could not even eat the batter one mouthful of peas the underside of the fish was undercooked my wife had burger the bread roll looked like a cheap roll from lidle falling apart absolutely no garnish a wimpy would look better plonked down with no finesse went on to pudding thought I would go for the poached pear got about six thin slices of pear on some chocolate mousse good fifty pence worth of pudding for eight pound I thought in fairness wife’s sticky toffee pudding was nice.up half the night with bad stomach just to top off a bad night

We came home with a great selection of apples and pears from the orchard, some we had not heard of before, they are all the same price by weight so you just make your own selection into a bag. We will be batch-baking apple-crumble for the freezer. They also have a nice butchery selection and local cheese amongst other edible. Not so keen about Gurneys the fresh fish shop as they didn't seem to want the custom they shut up early. The Fish and chip shop had a gluten problem which I will review separately.

Had a nice meal for 2 here. Decor and building is lovely, service was efficient and meals came out quickly. A decent choice on the menu, not insanely expensive depending on what you chose. Chocolate brownie dessert was delicious.

I went with my husband and our two dogs for an impromptu breakfast at the Sandringham restaurant. Upon arrival we were greeted by a very friendly lady who was kind to our dogs and gave them a couple of treats whilst we waited for a table to be ready in the dog friendly area. A lovely polite young man called Lucas came to take us to our table and seated us in a great area with space for our pooches. There are dog blankets at each table and a bowl of water was provided which was well received by our thirsty girls. We ordered pancakes with bacon/honey and poached egg with avocado on sourdough, coffee, ginger beer and a decadent hot chocolate served in the most beautiful royal china. The restaurant is very tastefully decorated, a light and airy space giving it a casual and relaxed atmosphere. All of the staff were efficient, friendly, polite, the drinks and food came at the right time and it was delicious! Well done to the team, we will be back!
