The Kings Head Inn, Brooke in South Norfolk

We had a lovely meal with some amazingly tasting food. Would thoroughly recommend this place. Our only concern was, it felt very cold in the restaurant at the lunchtime and we all sat in our coats till we had a coffee at the end, which was a shame!

Food and service 10/10. The beef Sunday roast was the best I’ve ever had!

Landlady, Landlord, staff, food, bar selection and surroundings, all score maximum marks. Love it here.

Only ate didn't stay. Party of 7 (incl 2 children) for a 50yr anniversary meal on a Sunday. 3 were less than 5 minutes late. Restaurant and bar is newly furnished and is very nice, the outside area looks good too. Ordered drinks as soon as we all sat down, drinks came after a short wait. Ordered 3 starters and mains promptly, most ordered beef roast which was £21, we were asked if we wanted sauces and these came out straight away (bit odd as they sat on the table for over an hour). Starters came out about 15 minutes later and were excellent. Mains came out over an hour later, and as they arrived, we were beset with flies. I can understand that this is not something they can easily remedy but we seemed to be the only table suffering likely due to the position out of the air through flow as door and windows were open to reduce heat. The fly's (more than 10) constantly buzzing round and attempting to land on the food was obviously not great and put us all off our meals. A couple ate quickly some battled though and others left the food. One was ill while there and after, We raised the flies with the staff who said there was nothing that could be done, the owner did come over and apologise which was nice and offered a glass or wine to an adult (were driving) or a dessert (we just wanted to leave at this point) and declined. Roasts - kids was large (almost and adults’ portion) Yorkshires had shredded meat in (not a fan + one had the twine from the meat in too) Otherwise, the roast was well presented if not amazing, and a little on the pricy side at £21 per head, the exception was the cauliflower cheese (that was v good) The meals with 2 alcoholic drinks and some soft drinks came to over £180 and when I asked if there was any possibility of a discount we were told no as some of the party being late was the reason the main ways slow getting out and they can't control the flies. I can understand these points but we won't be revisiting. Areas for improvements - Communication, if we had had been made aware of the long wait we would have ordered a side for the kids. Service was a little slow (we often needed to prompted waiting staff who were then attentive) Stop the flies or offer to move outside and don't use the table / area.

Visited with our family of eight for a Sunday lunch and all enjoyed the experience which is surprising considering how fussy some of us are. Each dish had something that was a little be special about it to make it memorable. Great range of beers and wines as well. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. If we are in the area again we would certainly eat there again.

Another gem of an hotel - the attention to detail in the interior and fittings is second to none. Well worth the visit and the home grown food is to die for.

Had a fantastic meal at the King's Head. Staff were attentive but not overbearing. The food was wonderful - especially the halibut. I would absolutely recommend this place!

I can't Fault the staff,they were lovely. Unfortunately though we were sat at a table in the middle of the walkway even though the restaurant was empty and remained relatively empty the whole time we were there, My boyfriend and I both had the roast pork Sunday lunch, and im sad to say this was not as nice as I had been told it should be. The pork was very dry,the vegetables were almost raw still, and it seemed like a mish mash of bits they had left over in the kitchen, all in all I wouldn't say it was a very enjoyable meal.I would also say that having the coffee machine in the restaurant whilst customers are eating is not the best idea as it's a very noisy thing and not want people want to hear whilst they are trying to enjoy their food.

Delicious lunch, attentive and happy staff. A lovely birthday treat.

Friendly welcoming service, accomplished cooking very well kept establishment we had a great lunch.

I visited today for the first time. Staff were very welcoming, friendly and efficient. We chose the roast beef and roast pork. The food was delicious with beautifully cooked tender meat, fresh vegetables, roast potatoes and an enormous home cooked Yorkshire pudding, accompanied by a chopped vegetable sauce, red cabbage, cauliflower cheese and a beetroot wedge. Everything on the plate was delicious. Would thoroughly recommend and at a great price.

Just back from Sunday lunch. Food was fantastic. Ambience was lovely. But what made it for me was the service despite being very busy the staff were attentive but not rushed and all were very friendly. Nicest experience of eating out for a very long time.

Absolutely perfect setting with the most delicious food, can’t wait to go back. Fantastic service, would highly recommend.

Me and Al this week went To the the Kings Head Brooke we both ordered the cod & chips Which when it was brought to us was a complete surprise i was Expecting to a big piece of cod the length of the plate instead we hD a ball of batter About the size of small orange when i opened it up it Was full of tasty white cod .but did not satisfy unlike a piece of cod., the chips were very nice ,also came with pea purée For dessert I had a vanilla cheesecake and it came with strips of rubarb and segments of orange and a berry sorbet it was lush

Absolutely beautiful food, wonderful staff and a perfect atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Just had an amazing Sunday Roast and fantastic service from all staff. Will definitely come again.

Visited for Mother’s Day lunch. The renovation of the building is outstanding. The starter and main we had were ok, the dessert was simply delicious. Sadly what impacted the enjoyment of our visit was the lack of options for my mum who is gluten and dairy free. Also my non-alcoholic mojito was accidentally knocked over by a member of staff and I was not offered a replacement, I later realised when I got home I was charged £9 for 2 sips of this drink.

Had a family meal, on obviously a very busy Sunday. The staff were all very extremely attentive and friendly. The meals were delicious. Very happy to recommend and will return.

Been renovated to a very high standard. You're welcoming and have that touch of class to Elevate the pub to a very posh pub. Walkers and dogs were made to feel very much at home also.

Lovely meal while catching up with friends.

Was our first time visiting and we had a really lovely lunch today. Ambience and service was perfect and food was excellent. Will definitely be returning.

Food was amazing and the service was even better!

We booked and stayed just 1 night , so Perfect cannot wait to go back shall stay longer next time. Famoly run and they couldn't do enough . Nothing was too much trouble

Amazing beef roast yesterday with the family! 7 empty plates 🤌 Lovely surprise inside the Yorkshire puddings too. Great service from the staff xx

I visited the kings head today 02.12.23 for a birthday celebration for a very dear friend. We were a party of 7. My friend was opening her presents and cards but we were asked several times if we wanted to go to our table. Once at the table we were given the menu and within minutes asked if we were ready to order, we asked for a bit more time and were told the kitchen was closing soon. A few of us ordered from the festive menu which was £30 for 2 courses. The start was good but the turkey main meal was tiny. I've never seen 2 roast potatoes so small. The food was tasty but the portion wasn't worth the money. The restaurant bar area was extremely cold it was -1 outside. The waiter said he didn't want to light the fire as he didn't want to smoke the restaurant out. There wasn't any Christmas decorations and the place lacked atmosphere. The waiting staff weren't very welcoming it felt like they were just going through the motions. When we asked if my friend's birthday could be cut a member of staff gave us plates but a member of our party had to cut the cake themselves. It was really the special birthday lunch experience we'd hoped for

Food was excellent Had sea bass fillet, absolutely superb as was the apple and blackberry frangipane. Highly recommended

Food very disappointing, would not recommend.

The four of us enjoyed a very tasty Sunday roast beef lunch with good beer and wine.

My husband and I wanted some us time and my God the food was amazing as was the service will definitely be going back

Excellent start to finish. Food was great as was the ambiance and the services. Prices were reasonable whilst consistent with a high standard restaurant.

First visit to The Kings Head Inn. We had lunch and ate three courses for £30 from the menu du jour. As you can see by the five star rating given, it was absolutely faultless. The refurbishment of the building and it's facilities, is also first class. Would definitely return.

I recommend the brownie it's delicious!! 😍

Had a wonderful 40th Birthday gathering here. Food and service were fantastic. Will be back for sure.

Went as part of a large party on a Saturday night. The staff worked tirelessly to make sure needs were met for the group. The food was fantastic with appropriate portions. Staff were friendly and attentive to the needs of our group. Loved it.

2nd visit to King's Head was expensive but very enjoyable meals.

Amazing oldie worldy but modern deliver oils here superb place to eat

Warm and staff are welcome you when you come in and very friendly Food very good

We have been looking forward to visiting The King's Head for some time so decided to pop in for coffee. There is a good carpark and fab outside area The welcome was warm and attentive the decor stylish and quirky the coffee superb so we stayed for lunch! For a small village the lunch menu is expensive and a little high brow, more of an evening menu. We were only looking for light bites so had a couple of entrees, we had the Ham hock, Norfolk Dapple Souffle and a side of chips. All of the food was well presented and very tasty although the chips were not very crispy. The vinegar in a spray is a genius idea! We shared a dessert of Lemon meringue cheesecake which was fab! All in all it was a great experience, we look forward to trying dinner a d Sunday roast, thanks Sara for looking after us

Excellent Sunday lunch! Beef superb and the pork was sublime. Veg perfect, well presented and absolutely delicious!!!! Best Sunday lunch we have ever eaten. The desserts are to die for all excellently prepared and presented! They do actually taste as good as they look!! Will definitely return.

You can see why it took a couple of years to reopen. The refurbishment is of a very high standard. I just went in for a drink and there is a separate dog friendly bar for drinkers. Some nice real ales to choose from. Nice patio area some of it under cover. Large car park. Well worth a visit.

Friendly service and good food in big portions. Don't use the postcode to find it.

The renovation is outstanding, and makes for a great eating and/or drinking alternative to the City. The Sunday Roast should not be missed. Service is exceptional, and on a par with the best Norwich has to offer, and the food is as fresh as it gets. Prices are ver fair considering the quality. Highly recommended.

Amazing food at a very reasonable price. Service was spot on, just the right amount of attention. This definitely will be a regular place for a quality evening.

Fabulous refit....staff lovely, only had a drink as passing by. Rather small lounge area for drinks..but main issue, my husband is a whisky drinker...only ones available for a "normal" drink ie whisky & ginger/water/Mac etc was either Malt, Bourbon, Irish !!! Cmon, you do G&Ts, why not an ordinary blend to drink with a mixer ?? I'm sure Famous Grouse, Whyte & McKay, Bells etc would love your business.......we're ordinary - be ordinary, that's where the money is !

Beautiful food and lovely warm atmosphere, if we lived nearer it would be a place we visited regularly

Just love the newly reopened Kings Head! A beautifully sympathetic, modern, quirky renovation of an old listed pub building. A wonderfully warm welcome from all the staff, and nothing was too much trouble for this lovely young team,despite the fact that it was a busy Saturday evening and full of diners. The menu was varied and it was good to see local produce being used in the creative and interesting dishes on offer. Our food was served promptly, beautifully presented, piping hot and delicious and extremely well cooked.The home made puddings,especially the custard tart served with rhubarb ice cream, was exceptional, and the taste was divine.Obviously an excellent Chef and Pastry Chef are in the kitchen ! We and our guests thoroughly enjoyed our evening, in fact so much so that we returned for Sunday lunch and we were just as impressed with our roast dinner and the other menu choices on offer. The Kings Head is certainly not a budget place to eat, but if you want decent portions of high quality food,served in a lovely place, with great service, and a warm welcoming atmosphere, then I would highly recommend a visit. Well done to everyone at the Kings Head, job exceptionally well done .We are happy customers, who left with smiles on our faces, and will definitely be back again soon. Thank you !

Our first visit back since pre covid and the renovation. The place is absolutely stunning 🤩 we were obsessed with the roast we use to come for years ago and since it’s reopened and a different chef the food is still outstanding. The food choice was limited, but I think what there was to choose from was a good selection. The only thing I would say is the sticky toffee pudding tasted just like a cake and not worth the £10 price but my main was beautiful. A little pricey but I believe the food was worth it for our anniversary. Customer service was second to none. The courtyard looks beautiful and will be coming back with friends for drinks. Would come back again for food but for special occasions only.

It felt like we were welcomed into Harry's home, amazing landlord, and equally amazing waitresses Rosie and Sara. Highly recommend you stop for a bite to eat wonderful food and drink, Harry love's to tantalise your taste spuds with wonderful cocktails and a very nice pint too. I read a couple of the reviews saying Food price's a little high BUT I say you get what you pay for, good quality chefs don't come cheap.

After a long refurbishment this village gastropub is back! Lovely staff and incredibly good food - it's all good...

Incredibly classy gastropub - food is fantastic and so is the service and the decor!

Great food, great service, not too pricey. This pub has been added to my recommended list. 👌

Food menu choices pretty narrow, prices pretty high, food itself pretty disappointing.

2 couples meal. Booking efficient, seated promptly. 1st imp upgrade is good, acoustic is bad hard for oldies. Staff great full of fun attentive. OK need more choices prices for quality high

Great food served by pleasent attentive staff

Great experience from start to finish. Very helpful and friendly staff especially the lady that served our table. Food was excellent and will return and recommend to friends.

Menu good, as was food. And we all enjoyed a very pleasant lunch.

Lovely food, great decor Nicely re-decorated pub Food and wine are expensive, well above average cost and one has to order potatoes and vegetables separately which makes the meal costly - sustainability of this pub therefore will be my concern as most people cannot afford to spend lots of money in the current financial climate. Perhaps something for the owners to consider however please note choice of food and wine great and food is amazing! Thank you

So much improved over the previous version in its last days before closure, but that was always going to be easy. The new staff team were really keen to impress and help, the young lady looking after our table was helpful and friendly. The wines we sampled were fine and the Jubel is a beer I really enjoy but perhaps not a great choice of beers. Claims they wish to be a leading Gastro pub are great but I'm not sure the menu which is quite limited will achieve that. The food was good though and I think decent quality, Im not sure it's that better than some competitors. The revamped building is really pleasant and a bar area separate from the dining area is good. We weren't seated near a doorway and it wasn't particularly warm and we felt the tables were quite closely spaced for our liking. The atmosphere, as the evening got busier, was good. Overall good first impression and I hope for success for this venture, it'll be interesting to see how it develops over the next few months.

Outstanding food , the presentation is exceptional , the interior is delightful and superb ambiance , the staff are really friendly and the owners were in and extremely hospitable. 100% recommend ! Thank you for a wonderful day

The newly reopened renovated King's Head was definitely worth the wait. The decor is welcoming, food was lovely and the staff were very pleasant and attentive. The menu offered a good range of options and the food was beautifully presented. Good facilities, very accessible for anyone with disabilities. Looks like a big seating area outside which will be great on sunnier days.

The Kings Head is back! Absolutely stunning renovation, a real WOW when you first walk in! I can honestly say todays Sunday lunch was simply the best ever, surpassing all expectation! Well done to all, The Kings Head cannot fail to make a huge impression to all who visit!

Took my parents here for lunch today! We were the only ones in there yet still had to wait ages, the food was bland, sparce and there wasn't much of it! The waitress wasn't exactly pleasant either, to make matters worse as we got outside I checked the bill and she had overcharged my mum by £10.00! We wont be going back.

A first visit here for lunch one weekend. Friendly staff and OK food, but I gather it's since closed.

My daughter took me there, food was lovely and friendly staff and good service.

I like the vegetarian option very wel

We always love going to the kings head for a sunday roast. The food is great and the service too. I had the roast pork today and it was absolutly beautiful melted in the mouth. I would thoroughly recommend it to eat. There is a wide range of childrens meals that dont all consist of chips and even a kids sunday roast which is really good. There are loads of lovely scenic footpath walks to go on afterwards to get a bit of fresh air.

Has a lovely evening with friends Meal could have been warmer & waitress could have known what steaks she was bringing out, as had to cut open to see how was cooked, she didn't know which was which.

Just what I imagine when I think of an old English country pub- roaring fire, wooden beams and good pub food !

Great breakfast & very good value

Food very good, Burger very tasty, tried hard to clear my plate but failed (just)

Good food. Choice of ales, wines etc. Reasonable prices.

Lovely ambience, Friendly prompt service, nice surroundings, very good menu, tasty fresh prepared food, good choice of menu. Will frequent the place more!!

Just had a lovely lunch with Avril, Tara & Sheila.. Great girlie catchup. Thank you Kings Head for excellent food & hospitality.

Friendly pub - helpfull friendly staff ' lovely food ' good selection of drink

Good ok nothing special. Not run very well regular was served in middle of my drinks order not impressed

Nice place, chef cannot read!!!!!!

Country pub selling pup food. Been updated indide pleasent. But drinks expensive No well known largers in stock. As only a country pub sfter all.All about tööd

So I went here and had the nut roast which was seriously yummy - the nut piece itself was really huge and I couldn't finish it but it was soooooo tasty :) I put a 4 star because I asked if they did soy milk so I could have a cup of tea but they didnt, which was odd because they had the vegan and vegetarian menu. So that doesn't make sense to me. But other than that really nice pub, great ambiance. Love it.

Absolutely lovely good. Really friendly and quick service. Don't feel too rushed but also not left for hours. Really would recommend

Great food and lovely service. Sunday roast is our favourite.

Steak night on a Thursday is well worth the money. Also there are a lot of other choices on the menu. Never had a bad meal.

To hot staff young and not on the ball

We had a very good meal....great choices....friendly staff and service.....highly recommended . Extra note...they provide outside catering services including hog roasts!!

Interesting menu. Lovely food. Good choice real ales too. Pub looks tatty on outside but don't be fooled. Recommended

A very good local pub with good food, excellent real ales and a very friendly welcoming atmosphere

Friendly, polite service. Excellent food and a nice atmosphere. Highly recommended. ..

Excellent food. Great location... Shame they forgot about our coffees.

Overall I think that this is a really nice place. The food was really good. The service was nice and everyone there was polite and pleasant. I went there for food and drinks both of which were very good. Overall I went there for a meal with friends and we all had a good time and will probably look to go again.

Great Sunday roast. Thoroughly recommended.

Good food. And good prices. Well worth a visit.

Superb food, fair selection of real ales, lovely staff.

A very good country pub with a varied menu, very popular with travellers.
