We dropped in for Sunday lunch at 12:00, having only booked late the day before. We were warmly welcomed by the staff and having sorted our drinks at the bar, we were shown to our table. Although there was an a la carte menu available to us, we both had the pork belly roast. Following a short wait, we were served our meals and what a sight they were! We don’t do Sunday lunches as a rule, but based upon the quality and quantity of our lunches today, we can honestly say we will be back here. We’ve eaten both lunch and dinner at The Marsham Arms before, but they were mid-week. Our lunch today surpassed our previous experiences by a mile and we would wholeheartedly recommend dropping in here for a roast…and based upon our meal today, you will NOT be disappointed. Just to round up this review, we were both taken with how welcoming and attentive the staff were. They definitely showed real caring for all of the customers present.

Called in when passing the The Marsham Arms along the Holt road. First time visit and not disappointed. Nice old coaching inn with prompt friendly staff. Menu choices were good and prices good as well. Crab salad was amazing with plenty on your plate as was a lasagne. Both plates very well presented. A great find and will call in again when passing.

We really enjoyed another three night break at the Marsham Arms. The staff are always so welcoming, friendly and super efficient. The food was excellent once again and there is a great variety to choose from on the menu. I would thoroughly recommend the Marsham to anyone wanting a great break at a competitive price, you won't be disappointed.

Stayed for 3 nights in this roadside (can be quite noisy with traffic in the morning-but they thoughtfully provide ear-plugs!) pub in N Norfolk whilst fishing some nearby lakes at Reepham. Staff are friendly and service is good. Had dinner in the pub each of the 3 nights and found the food to be wholesome (particularly recommend the local dressed crab) and generous quantities. Ample parking and lots of outdoor space if the weather is great-which on my visit it was not. Room reasonably small-but perfectly adequate for solo traveller. May be tight however for couples. Overall-a good experience and would recommend

Booked through booking.com as needed an overnight room for next day meeting. Everything was seamless from check in, ordering dinner to breakfast and check out. Staff were polite, professional and helpful. Dinner was excellent, real ale out of the barrel and full English breakfast was probably the best I have had, and I love my breakfast. Room was clean and comfortable. Told the other half and we'll probably book a weekend in August with the dog. Thoroughly recommend!

Shame I am having to give this place only 2 stars as the food is absolutely gorgeous! I am into my 2nd nights stay and unfortunately both nights have been awful. I stayed in room 7 and the first night, all I can hear before I go to sleep is the small fridge which is in the wardrobe, I did not realise what it was until the next day but I had to turn it off, someone in the room next to me had the tv on all night so I could hear that all night. The walls are so paper thin I have now been woke up both mornings by next doors alarm, then due to the walls being paper thin you can hear them shower, click kettle on, shave, stir their drink and everything. This place is in the middle of no where and if I was not in a team of 3 of us, I would not be staying here another night. I’m down for 4 nights, I’m going to make sure I only have one more and I will wear ear plugs tonight to see if it makes a difference. Apart from the sleeping side of things which is very important to me, the food is so nice. I cannot complain about the food at all. Both breakfast and evening meals are divine. Overall, i simply could not stay here again due to the sleeping arrangement, nice beds and not bad but dated rooms. Don’t mind how dated the rooms are if you can get a good nights sleep but here I cannot unfortunately, which is a shame. The staff here are also so nice.

I came here with my family for Sunday lunch today - overall decent place and the food was very tasty. However, with two of us being vegetarian it was a big disappointment to see only one vegetarian option listed on the menu, and no vegetarian roast on the Sunday lunch menu. The staff were pleasant enough but not attentive at all and we had very long waits between ordering and the food arriving. I would only visit again if there was a better consideration of different dietary requirements on the menu and improved service.

This place might be nice if the food was cooked. The cabbage was not cooked and very crunchy to eat. The carrots were the same not great. The turkey had no taste to it at all. After arriving with two freinds we then had to wait a further 20 minutes to sit down to order a carvery. On going to the counter they had ran out of turkey for the ladys we were with and they had to then wait a further six minutes while we started to eat our food. After asking to have a couple of drinks knocked off the bill the girl who was serving was lost and decided to lie and say i had bullied her well sorry the only person who was doing that was Bradley mr i am so he thought. The other man perfect gentleman would never go back.

We dropped in for mid-week lunch on the off-chance, not having booked. The welcome was very warm and we were showed to a table without delay. The menu options were not hugely extensive, but there is something for everyone. My wife had scampi and I had the lasagne. Being reasonably quiet, our food was delivered without undue delay. Both dishes were well presented and delicious, especially the dressing on my side salad. The staff were very pleasant, attending to our needs immediately. The overall cost of the meal was not unreasonable and we would wholeheartedly recommend a visit.

The room was drab and in serious need of a revamp. Nice big roomy bathroom with bath and separate shower, very plastic uninviting decore. All the chrome fittings and furnishings were rusted. Located directly outside the door to the room was a communal smoking area. It was nice if you wanted to nip out for a ciggy. It's not nice if you are a non-smoker who does not appreciate the smell of ingrained cigarette smoke. On that note, the room had about as much soundproofing as a tent. So when your neighbours were enjoying their ciggies outside your front door you could hear everyone laughing and joking, enjoying their last ciggy before bed time and it did not stop there, when they went to bed you could every grunt, cough, fart and snore! Not to mention the noise from the main road. We stayed 3 nights, positive notes? There's a fridge in the room which is a nice touch. The room is larger than average, plenty of storage for clothes. However, as with the bathroom, it's in need of a revamp. The fabric chairs were grimey. They are not the sort that can be easily cleaned. The units were covered in that wood effect sticky back plastic. It just looks dated and cheap. Staff were lovely, can't fault them. Food was ok. Good quality ingredients. Not much choice for vegetarians (only one dish on the menu). In short, this place is fine if you are looking for a stop off or if you just need a place to stay. Most of the clientele were workmen, but if you're a couple or family. Then I would avoid!

My family have been coming here for years for special occasions, but I am guessing that the chef has changed, as has the menu. They used to do a brilliant pork belly with crackling and black pudding, but this appears to have been changed. So we had a roast instead. I chose roast beef and although very tasty, was not pink as promised, and also there was not one piece of greenery on the plate, just lots of beige and a few carrot batons. The gravy was too thick and not up to the usual standard. The dessert list was also not very inspiring and nothing chocolate at all. The staff are great and very helpful, but the menu needs to be adapted. There is plenty of fresh green produce at the moment like green beans, if not cabbage.

My wife spotted this venue as she was passing and suggested it for a early evening Sunday meal for the two of us and our nearly 1 year old daughter - what an incredibly pleasant surprise! From the moment we walked in we were made to feel welcome. The service was friendly and very efficient. My wife had a mushroom on toast special and myself the crab ball. Good sizes and really tasty. We decided to order a child’s lasagne for our daughter (her first meal out) and we weren’t disappointed. Again, a really good portion size and very tasty, so much so she ate the whole thing (well, apart from the bits we clearly had to ‘sample’) For mains my wife had the chicken curry - packed a punch in the back of the throat - the best place for the spice to hit IMO, but not overpowering from the lime and coconut taste. I had the lamp rump - incredibly well cooked and absolutely delicious - easily one of the best pieces of meat I’ve eaten out in years. Everything on the plate complemented it beautifully - a wonderful meal. We found room for desserts, based on how good the rest of the meal had been, and we weren’t disappointed. Sadly the rhubarb and custard pavlova was unavailable but my wife had a blackberry version to compensate and the brioche bread and butter for me. It was a really lovely experience and we would definitely return! Plenty of space for events and rooms to stay over this would be a great place to base yourself if wanting to explore Holt, Aylsham or Norwich.

Stayed for one night whilst on business in the area. I prefer to stay in character hotels / Inns rather than soulless chain hotels. This fitted the bill perfectly. The whole Inn appears to have had a recent makeover. I had booked a larger room up in the eaves of the main building. Large bedroom and bathroom and well fitted out. Only complaint was the green light in the smoke sensor that stayed on all night. Breakfasts cooked to order, they could probably do with a slightly improved buffet option. Evening meal was very good - they seem to do regular special menus to compliment the a la card and I was there on the gush evening - fixed price for two or three courses and food very good All staff very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend for a business or leisure stop. Room had a dressing table which could double up as a desk.

We went with another couple for an evening meal reviews looked ok, we were seated in a family eating area, pub was only 10% full, the decor was very sad and tired, sticky tables. we had a burger fish and chips and two baked Halibut, the portion of fish was tiny (£15) and over cooked, the Halibut was over cooked and had a sour sauce, should have come with a medley of vegetables, what actually came was a very large portion of green beans...!! we were asked how our meal was and I explained our concerns, waitress said she would pass on our comments, heard nothing more. Overall the food was over cooked and over priced, decor very average, service ok, and no apology about the food.

My wife and l stayed one night with a short notice booking during covid, so only a twin room was available. A comfortable room, ple ty of space especially the bathroom providing bath as well as an excellent shower, light and airy. Plenty of wardrobe space with a handy fridge. Only concern was noise from adjoining rooms due to thin partition walls that allowed normal level verbal communication to be heard.The evening meal was excellent, as was the breakfast. Staff were courteous and attentative, adhering to the required covid safety procedures. Parking allowed residents vehicles to be in close proximity to their accomodation providing ease of luggage transfer. We would book again should we be in the area, and recommend to those considering the experience of the Marsham Arms.

We picked the Marsham Arms because it was close to friends staying locally, and because of the good reviews. Our room was a decent size to accommodate our dog but slightly disappointed that our first choice room, with a king size bed, was not available because of the dog. I think our room could have easily accommodated a larger bed. Decent sized bathroom with great shower. The garden car park smelled somewhat of sewage which was a shame, but probably not easily solvable. We had dinner one night with our friends but the meal was disappointing. The hake seemed to have been defrosted and was overcooked, one had many bones. The staff were however excellent in not charging for one and offering a free dessert. However the breakfasts were delightful, served in the garden on two warm mornings, respecting COVID limitations. There was a lot of choice, the options were plentiful, the mains were beautifully cooked, and still hot when served, excellent multigrain toast, fabulous homemade granola and berry compote. Would go back again, and not just for the breakfasts

Came for a birthday meal with my wife as someone who hasn't been here before. Cracking little place. Lovely theme to the restaurant, polite and efficient waiting staff and the food is top quality. We loved the menu and felt it offered variety and uniqueness. Had a 3 course dinner each and we had such a great time. We were genuinely so happy with the quality and taste of the food and can't compliment it more. One tiny little thing that we would like to mention is the lack of background ambiance. Although the place was busy, just some light, quiet music in the background would have completed the experience. Not booming out, but just something subtle in the back would have been a good touch.

The Marsham Arms was my first choice after reading a well designed website which detailed reassuring COVID safeguarding measures.Parking is no problem, with plenty of space and the location is convenient for much of Norfolk. I am a supporter of the Hillside Animal Sanctuary at West Runton and this is just under 20 miles away.The layout of the small double rooms makes good use of space and represents value for money without compromising on comfort. We were blessed with good weather and therefore the fan was a welcome item. The food served in the attractive garden and restaurant was so enjoyable that we consequently booked dinner for the second night too and I'd like to add that as a vegetarian it was so refreshing to find good choices, not the 'take it or leave it' one item approach favoured by some. The breakfast bags worked well and again, compliments to the chef on the delicious home baked flapjacks, which were fantastic. As a coffee drinker, a decent coffee bag was also much appreciated - honestly these details make such a difference!Without exception the team of staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. I plan to return and have no hesitation in recommending.

Nice pub, pleasant staff, good beers, but the food was really not very good. Two of us had chips which were undercooked, almost raw potato, and the other meals were not great either. That may be why the place was very quiet when every other restaurant north of Norwich was booked. It could only be a lazy chef, the chips even looked uncooked. So sadly it is a poor review.

We stayed her for 4 nights on a short break in Norfolk visiting family and sightseeing the broads and Yarmouth the room was amazing as was the evening meal we stayed in the penthouse suite above the inn the view was lovely , the room came with a fan which was a god send the first few nights as it was a warm by day and also we had a mini fridge in the room for drinks we brought with us the deep bath was fab even if I struggled to get out , the show was great and it was nice they have a rubber bath mat for the shower so we didn’t slip a few hotels we have stayed in could take note of this , the only little complaints I had was the velux window blind didn’t work the young man came and took a look and said for now took it out side the window and we will get it looked at but no one ever did and we couldn’t leave it hanging out the window as it was to noisy with traffic off the main road out side so we put up With light coming through on a morning and the other thing was the door downstairs omg it was constantly banging when people came though it it would slam shut , maybe u could put some thing on it to stop it slamming , the breakfast was very disappointing as like other people said it was very dry in a paper bag and we only got 2 pastry’s and jam with 2 orange drinks and a coffee sachet to share this wasn’t really continental, we ended up having to drive to aylsham for breakfast as my husband doesn’t eat that sort of thing on the wednesday morning at around 830 when we were going out for breakfast we could smell bacon been cooked in the hotel and an other guest even commented about it saying they can cook for them self but not us because of covid , but other than that we really do like the hotel just shame about the breakfast offerings we would defo stay again if we were to come back.

We had 2 nights staying here and two Very nice meals. The rooms were very comfortable and set apart from the main pub so lovely and quiet. The pub was very organised to be covid safe and we felt quite happy. You need to book as both nights they were fully booked for meals, but after 8:30 pm it quietened down a lot so you would probably be ok. The only draw back was the breakfast which is given to you as a packed ‘hamper’ a paper bag. You get a drink carton, 2 pastries, yogurt and a home made granola bar which was lovely. I felt that to have a Luke warm yogurt and drink ( both pasteurised so didn’t need to be refrigerated) and cold croissant not very appealing. Hopefully they will revert to offering a cooked breakfast again soon. To be fair, on the second day I asked for hard boiled egg and fruit which they were happy to provide but if you have heating on overnight I’m not sure it would be safe to eat.

Still travelling around Norfolk and found this extremely welcoming place to eat which was so good , we came on two separate evenings. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the food amazing. The added bonus was that our dog was allowed to be with us and we we not forced to eat outside: although there is a lovely outdoor garden which is ideal for summer days. The portions of food are more than generous and very good value. What a gem! Certainly recommend.

Well where do I start, Jenna was lovely, greeted us with a warm smile and a very friendly nature, the room was very clean and quiet just the right size for us. Then there was the food ........what can I say, we had 3 meals there over our stay never had scampi that tasted that good, the sea bass was excellent, then we come to the belly pork slow cooked over night WOW sat on a bed of the creamiest mash and creamed cabbage and I got the recipe for this going to try it at home. The only down fall of our whole experience of The Marsham Arms was that due to COVID 19 there was no full English breakfast only continental in your room and after our culinary experience that had you your taste buds bouncing would of loved to of tried the breakfast but oops looks like we will have to return Yes a huge thank you to all the lovely staff and the very helpful chef who made our stay amazing see you soon

Although we live local,we haven't been in since before Xmas 2019,and after a hectic weekend sat at home 5 pm on a Sunday,and fancied a pint and a meal,so called up and got a table for 6.30 pm.The place was busier than I thought it would be,already 7 tables were in.Another 5 turned up whilst we were there.The service is always comfortable relaxed and with a smile.Jenna has taught her staff well.Our meals were out in 15 mins,ready for our second order of drinks.I like how you are asked only once if all ok,then left be.Our waiter was polite,happy to have a conversation with us,and held a short conversation with other tables also,which was nice to see.Our meals were presented lovely and the 3 of us enjoyed our own meals very much.No room for puddings this time.Made us all realise that we need to go out more and support our local more.Which we now will.

We have just had a lovely 3 nights at this well run and characterful coaching inn. In particular, we have been impressed by the staff . They have paid attention to detail and requirements and succeeded in making guests feel safe and cared-for. Rooms are comfortable and clean and the meals are well prepared and flavoursome. We particularly like the Sunday roast and the fresh Cromer crab salad. Desserts were generous.The garden can accommodate many guests and still provide safe social distancing.The small disappointment was the bag of continental breakfast issued to each room, but we understand that this arrangement is due to the Covid restrictions. We took what we wanted( juice, croissants, coffee bags) then went out for real fresh coffee elsewhere.In all, a wonderful base for exploring the North Norfolk coast and surrounding rural villages. But the dedication of the staff who run The Marsham Arms is what makes it special. Thank you!

Visited this evening and taken advantage of the Government scheme. Food was excellent and huge portions. Pasta was tasty and chicken burger excellent value for money. Didn’t have a dessert but saw another group having them and they enormous! Thank you as we felt very safe and well looked after

Every time I’ve been here the food is pretty terrible especially for the money! Filet steak come well done when asked medium, tagliatelle was spaghetti and so grassy the oil was running all over my plate - left me feeling very sick! I ate here with 6 people and not one of us had anything good to say other than the surface was excellent.

First class food and service and unbelievable value under the Government's eat out to help out scheme, although we would happily pay full price another time for the quality. We felt very comfortable as the dining experience is as normal as possible while still feeling safe.

First time visiting for Sunday lunch. Very happy with our meals. Lots of tasty local ingredients. The smoked salmon starter was delicious. Fab deserts too. The staff were really nice and we enjoyed our leisurely lunch. The restaurant catered very well for gluten free too.

Fantastic place to stay. The room we had wasspotlessly clean ( number 6 Grouse) the food was first class. It would have been nice to havea heated towel rail,We showered in the morning andthen in the evening and the towels were still damp. But this is one of the nicest places we have stayed in. We would highly recommend it

A very cozy and atmospheric pub/restaurant/hotel. Lots of parking. When inside there is a very relaxing area with sofas , ideal for a Sunday afternoon relax with family or friends. I attended as part of a large party for a birthday and found the service flawless, the food rich in flavour and of a high quality. Very fairly priced for the food and service provided. I would 100% recommend to any friends or family.

Booked a party of 19 for a 60th birthday. Unbelievably easy to work with, we just had to choose our meal choices a week before. The ladies serving the table were lovely and organised, we had no problems with incorrect orders and the food was delicious. Many of our party had problems choosing as there is so much choice. I'd looked at other places and their menus were very selective so it was a breath of fresh air to have a lot of options. We had a vegan in our party also who was catered for.Would not hesitate to book again!

Moved to Horsford recently and tried the pub after driving past a few times. What a surprise we had. The food was amazing! The best Pork Belly I’ve ever eaten and the deserts were heavenly. It’s now become our local.

Whilst there was nothing "stand-out" with either the food or the service, but the Marsham Arms was, unfortunately, still the 3rd best (of 10) Christmas lunches we have enjoyed this December

First time back here for a couple of years for a midweek dinner. Chicken was off the small menu, which restricted choice. I won't detail the meals, but the combinations are mysterious, the portions meagre, and somewhat overpriced at £18 and upwards for mains, and £7+ for a dessert. How is there justification in £15 for simple fish and chips? Yes no doubt places like this will be busy on the run up to Christmas, but for a midweek dinner it must do better. I left feeling cheated, therefore will vote with my feet.

Another early visit after we moved to the area - wasn't sure what to make of this, as the menu was split between 'fancy' and standard pub food. We both ordered off the latter - scampi and fish'n'chips, and both were really enjoyable. We haven't made it back yet, but I'd be very happy to return. Quiet lunch service, but very friendly too.

Amazing food! Had the venison saddle, was exquisite. One of the best gourmet pubs I have eaten in for a very long time. Hats of to the chef! Oh and the chocolate mouse with homemade nut brittle is worth the guilt! A true gem for foodies.

It was our 4th visit to the Marsham Arms and we were not left disappointed. Every year we have a family meal and stay over, and nothing is ever too much trouble. The rooms are lovely and clean, food is first class and the customer service is exceptional.Thank you to everyone for looking after us and our various requirements-even cooking an extra sausage for our dog for breakfast-he loved it . Thank you!

We called in on the spur of the moment not having been for years and were very pleasantly surprised. We only wanted a light lunch but it was really very good indeed. We had brocolli soup with Binham Blue cheese which was delicious and then we shared a platter of meats, pickles etc. Our table was near the fire so we were really cosy. The service was friendly and efficient, the chairs really comfy and all in all it was great. We shall definitely return. Very reasonably priced too.

Chose this place after having driven past it numerous times. We really enjoyed ourselves. Wanted a quiet night away with good food and drink and that is what we got. Chose the small double, it is what is says on the tin but did what we wanted. Comfortable nights sleep and a decent hot shower. Good price too! The staff, well in our opinion faultless! Great service, polite and attentive. We will return and see what it is like in the summer months. Thank you as was a lovely birthday night away!

Based on other people’s reviews we called in yesterday to try lunch. (Sunday) The restaurant and bar area clean and tidy. The menu we found to be quite limited but sometimes that we’ll mean quality rather than quantity?

We popped in on a Saturday lunchtime a family of five and our two cockerpoos. We were given a table in the bar area. The menu had plenty of choice, and there were also some specials. We were all really pleased with our meals, the halloumi burger was cooked to perfection, the mussels were fresh and the sauce full of flavour. The ribs were succulent and so big! The dogs loved their sausages too! The staff are friendly, the drinks choice is good as was the price. What’s not to like?

We regularly visit this gastro pub and realised we have never reviewed it. We always go because it has never failed to give us a first class meal and excellent front of house. We visited again this week and I had a particularly delicious dish of Stone Bass in a crab bisque and it was really top quality. My husband had pork belly and every bit of the crackling was crisp. We were both delighted with our meals. Thanks again Marsham Arms your Chef obviously really knows what he is doing! We will be back

We have just had the most amazing lunch, we were party of 6, wine perfectly matched with our meal, fat juicy mussels followed by the most delicious ox checks that just melted, with fab chips, finished off with the most delightful chocolate mousse & passion fruit sorbet, pure joy.

Llegó y pidió una mesa para cuatro. Dijo 15 minutos de espera. Dijo que esperaríamos y nos quedaríamos afuera al sol. Fui 15 minutos después, para encontrar la mesa que le habían dado a una pareja. Protesté y me dijeron que fuera a buscar otro lugar para comer. Francamente, no sé cómo siguen en el negocio.
