This inn has come on a lot since our last visit. Furnishings and interior decor appears brighter & more inviting. There is a greater range of food - especially liked the light bites - ideal if you're not really hungry! Service is, as always, excellent

Unfortunately not a brilliant first time dining experience booked a table for 8pm after asking numerous times is our table ready someone took our order at about 8.45 then finally sat down at approx 9.15 but was only shown to our table when food was being served not in my opinion the best way food was nice. After asking again for a sweet menu twice finished eating so late and never asked if we wanted any coffee I'm guessing they wanted to clear away . So sorry not the best will not be returning.

This place is exceptional. The food was outstanding. We had to wait a little longer than expected for our order but was rewarded with free drinks by way of an apology. Now that’s customer service for you! Can’t wait to go back. Well done team Ram!!

Always enjoy eating here. Never stayed overnight, but the public areas are cosy whilst still feeling open due to the low ceilings and the quirky old beams. In my opinion, the selection of beers and ales could be improved, but it’s always very popular here, so maybe I’m just a fussy drinker!

A mixture of old and not so old parts of the building with nice period features. Plenty of parking but beside the main road. Ask for a room away from the road. Bedrooms are fine though some low ceiling features where the roof restricts space. Bar and restaurant are nice and appears popular. Decent breakfast.

Only stopped off for morning coffee but were so impressed with the property and especially the lovely lady who served us and others. A chilly day, but she made sure to seat people where they would feel warm and comfortable. We are passing again next weekend to pick up our new puppy and considering staying in one of their rooms the night before. Did I mention it's also dog friendly 😊.

We came here to meet up with family and friends for lunch on New Year's eve. The service was good and friendly staff. The pub is clean and maintained to a high standard. The food is good. I had a green vegetarian curry and the vegetables were all fresh and well cooked. The green sauce was house made which was a nice surprise. The sweets were delicious.

EDIT in response to your reply, the lady herself informed us we arrived at 12.45! We left at 1.35. We will vote with our feet. As I said we were told it was a 40 minute wait for food not a 40 minute before you even took an order. If you had said at the start that you couldn't take walk ins we would have left. My husband went in today at lunch time to ask about food. He was told there was a 40 minute wait for food. He ordered us drinks. I followed in. After 20 mins we asked to order but we were told we needed to wait still before we could order. After 40 minutes waiting we still couldn't order. We paid for 2 drinks that we would not have had if they'd been honest to start with. People on every table waiting for food. If you have a problem tell people, we would have left. No empathy. The lady who appeared to be in charge couldn't care less! No discount on our drinks either, no apology. Awful customer care .

Travelling in England for business, room and welcome was lovely and warm. Met up with 2 friends in the Old Ram for dinner and it was excellent. All but one staff were excellent, however on our leaving the next morning the staff member who provided our breakfast and would be checking us out of the hotel was rude. I opened the exit door to let a staff member into the hotel and my husband from inside the hotel used his key fob to open the boot of his car as I would be putting my small case in the boot while my husband settled our bill. This staff member raised her voice to both my husband and I and walked very quickly to the both of us and stated " you have the bill still to pay!!". The accusation and intonation was that my husband and I were attempting to leave without payment ( we are both in our late 50s) I addressed her by letting her understand that I was placing a case into the car whilst my husband paid the bill ( he was still in the hotel with his small case sitting near the reception area). This is a normal procedure and one I am sure many people do. I found her attitude rude and uncalled for. she later apologised to my husband about her outburst which I have to say would have been heard by other guests having their breakfast...very embarrassing for both of us. Considering an email to the hotel with this complaint. I am aware that people do leave without paying their bill and that's awful for any business and I was just really surprised at why she thought that's what we doing. I have my own theories on this but after many hours of travelling and thinking I will put it down to her having a bad day.

Absolutely loved this place, plenty of parking directly outside the entrance, and I noticed what I think was an overflow car park opposite the venue. Interior was warm and with logs burning in the fire place which added to its charm, plenty of choice of alcoholic drinks but I went there for food which was ok and a tad over reasonable cost. Staff were nice and very approachable, as it offers rooms for the night I would imagine they were upto the quality of downstairs but have marked it zero stars as I have not stayed in one so I cant possibly score.

Used thier online table booking service and reserved a table, subject to thier confirmation, for 17.00 on Sunday 3rd December 2023. Recieved no confirmation or indeed notification that the resevation was not permissible. Thier web site only allows you to reserve tables within thier hours of service. Called them the following day, as I had heard nothing, despite thier text confirming they had recieved my booking request, only to be told That 5pm was far too late a booking and the could not accommodate us and in rather a dismissive fashion. If you have an online booking service, please ensure it is customer friendly, allowing only to book or reserve the desired service at times you offer on your website. Also, please have the good grace to respond to prospective clients and within a timely fashion. Very disappointed. Brendon B

First visit to this restaurant. Looked nice on the website, so we booked for a table for two for 7pm, a couple of days before we were due to go.On arrival we were promptly seated. Social distancing was in evidently place and the restaurant had tables far enough away from each other to ensure this was the case, so we felt pleased with that. A polite young lady who had seated us and asked for our drink order, came over within a couple of minutes with our drinks and provided us with menus. We choose fairly quickly as we had already seen the menu on the website.Well we waited, and then waited a bit more, and them some more again and when it had got to 7.25 pm and no one had been over i went to the desk, where our server was and what appeared to be the manager and politely asked if we had been forgotten as no one had come over take our order.The response by the lady who appeared to be the manager was 'No, you haven't been forgotten'. 'Ahh' i said, 'Its just that we have been waiting 25 minutes'; to which this lady turned round and promptly informed me that they were extremely busy and even busier in the kitchen!'Well that told me, didn't it! It was so my fault that we had booked a table a few days before and we were now being made to feel as though it was our fault that our order hadn't even been taken as they were busy.We explained to the young girl when she came over a few minutes later that we would be just paying for drinks and not eating there. 'Ok', she said and then bought over the bill.On our way out, a young guy who we had seen serving drinks to tables earlier, was flapping by the door and calling out (to the lady we had previously spoken to who we thought was the manager) and saying 'Mum, mum! we have run out of menus!!'We did not sadly get to sample what looked like a very n ice menu on the website and were sorely disappointed with the service, hence the 1 star review.Shame on you Old Ram. If you cannot cope with the volume of people, then do not take the extra bookings, or if you are short of staff or extra busy on the night, then please have the decency to let your customers know and apologise as they are seated or waiting!

Our first meal out in four months..Only signs of being covid safe was hand sanitizer as we walked in and a screen that was separating 2 tables.Tables not very well spaced out and staff not wearing visors or masks and leaning over the customers to put food on the table... felt uncomfortable and unsafe...Service was not good, we left after our average main course as they seemed more interested in filling tables than serving the customers already seated.. we waited too long for someone to take our dessert order, in the meantime the customers on the next table walked out after just a drink as they had been ignored.Unfortunately our experience has put us off eating out in these unusual times...

I must say overall overpriced for the quality and quantity of food, £8.50 for a glass of NZ Sauvignon (Covent garden prices), £13.50 for a main course of mussels of which there were only 16 and not big! Although we did complain and were given more (but why the need to complain in the first place?)The fish pie was good, and risotto tasty but not hot enough, so overall we were disappointed and won’t return. Such a shame

This is the third time we have been here, as we sort of pass by on an annual trip to a Christmas Show.We pre-booked a table, as in previous years it had been busy, but we have managed to get in.  It wasn't so busy this year, but once again service was at a snail's pace. We sat for a good 10 minutes or so before a waitress came to see what we wanted to drink and if we wanted menus!The food was just amazing but just so slow. We had main courses and desserts and we were in there over two hours. If you have time then the food is good but if you are running to a schedule you need to go elsewhere. It is a shame a great product is ruined by service.

We live close to this restaurant and have been coming here many years. However a couple of years ago we had a number of poor experiences. We stopped coming as a result. Today, we visited for a roast dinner and we had the most beautifully cooked meal that we could not fault in any way. The place was buzzing like it used to and the front of house meetings and greetings of staff were 5*. I will be making sure that I recommend it to local friends and family again as I can see that there have been some great improvements that have put this restaurant very much back on the map for us.

Skipped this for a long time due to a bad experience, but it's changed hands and is now MUCH better. Best breakfast I've had for many years. I had mushrooms on sourdough bread with 2 fried eggs on top, other half had a full English with an extra sausage, and toast & butter, unlimited tea or coffee, came to £16. Everything was freshly cooked, plates were hot, coffee was filter coffee - not too strong as is always the case with these flashy machines - everything was lovely. Service very good.This will be a regular treat from now on. Best to book as they sometimes have groups in. Cannot recommend highly enough.

They welcome dogs - a special comfy room set aside complete with water bowl. I asked beforehand for a vegan lunch and was served a delicious platter envied by my meat-eating friends.

Avoid don't go in there, it will disappoint you greatly. I'm not one to complain as I don't like to make a fuss but today me and my husband had too. The whole experience was dreadful, the service was slow, the tables felt dirty and sticky and toilets were dirty without toilet roll and the food was way over priced and bland soggy and undercooked not anyone who I took with us totalling 7 people was happy with their meal. The cokes we ordered also tasted very watery and like a cheap coke drink and worse than value coke you get from Tesco. The beef on the roast and burger was red raw and husband had to have it sent back and the chips tasted like they had been cooked in dirty oil and the cauliflower cheese which cost 3.50 was very watery and only totalling a couple of spoonfuls when it says on the menu it's to share and all the meals were basically inedible and disgusting so had a moan and they took some money off but the staff were reluctant to do so at first making excuses that food had been eaten but we had to try it before making our minds up it was bad! Don't go there!

Visited here yesterday. The building and interior is just stunning, the menu sounds tasty, the waitresses are friendly and welcoming but the food I’m afraid isn’t worth a visit. The children’s dishes came first, the chicken strips were not a great cut of chicken and can’t believe knowing most children eat with their eyes that would be acceptable. Onto our mains, the southern fried chicken burgers were attricious! Literally like a eating mother Theresa’s flip flop, I honestly can’t believe that any kitchen can serve something that looked that dry! It was covered in large chunks of a strange coating which in the majority had no meat in. We found a separate piece of fried skin which really put us off! Our friend had the pie, was well presented but that is all it had going for it! When asked if everything was ok we hadn’t had chance to taste the burger, and then wasn’t approached by the server again till we got up. I did let the waitress know and also the fact my partners bun was burnt and inedible!!. You may say why not let them know sooner but after waiting 45ish mins for food with young children why would we put ourselves through that again. No real words of apology from the manager just that our comments would be passed on. Id personally avoid as I don’t think the level of customer care is there and the attitude is more like oh your just passing through, you won’t return again.

Booked a table requested a window position shown to a second line table due to its convenience for the waiting staff. We requested a move shown a table near a window despite our not pointing out we requested one.

We stayed as a base for snetterton BSB racing. Great food, comfortable and good size room together with friendly staff. Food was lovely and fresh which together with hot plates,makes all the difference. Breakfast was very hot and tasty and we liked the difference in size from an eco point of view. The room was comfortable, clean and well appointed. Would happily ever stay again. If we're being critical, the rooms needed a paint, as does the outside if he building. Cannot fault the staff

We visited The Old Ram on Monday lunch time not expecting it to be busy. How wrong can you be? It was very busy indeed, which tells you something about the food and service. We had a delicious meal and cant wait to go back soon.

Stopped at The Old Ram ,en route to Norwich, for breakfast. The usual monthly classic car event was ongoing when we arrived in the car park and although the staff were kept busy this didn't cause any delays with our breakfast. The breakfast was freshly prepared and piping hot with unlimited coffee or tea. Toast , bacon , sausages, flat mushroom , hash brown , eggs and baked beans there was no shortage of food available. We sat by the window with lovely views of the countryside.The price was good and if you ask there are vegetarian sausages available. The toilets are very clean , the pub has comfortable seating and the staff are very friendly . All in all a perfect start to the day. Worth a try whenever you are passing.

We booked a table for our meal, as this pub is only one of the fue in this area, that are open on Monday, we did have a bit of a wait, for the meal, as it was quite, busy, and food is cooked to order, the waitress did say sorry for the wait, but once it came to us, it was very nice, overall the service was very good and staff were polite.Would recommend

Called this Sunday being very much aware that at a cost of £13.95 for the Beef was on the high side. However the owners have a good reputation at their other Norfolk establishments so expected a bit extra quality etc. The beef had certainly not been recently carved and was very tough and chewy and contained a fair amount of grizzly fat etc. The Yorkshire was very dry and you would have thought the veg would have been presented separately. The only "greens" was a very small piece of broccoli. The initial greeting and service was OK and the Amstel very good. Overall I feel that if the owners had seen this they would not have been very happy.

Had not been here for at least 8 years as the service & food was poor. However, now what a difference! Attentive staff & good food.

Called at The Old Ram today for a late Sunday lunch. Always somewhat suspicious with a virtually empty bar and restaurant but it was 4.45pm and not a popular eating time.

We are a group of 3 mums who regularly go out for dinner with our 3 daughters. We decided to give the Ram a try as it’s a half way point for all of us.

The service was very good and we were made most welcome. Drinks were served promptly. We gave our order which included 2mixed grills. These were served on what seemed like 2 house bricks poor waitress they were very heavy. The mixed grills were dissapointing well cooked but small and not worth the £25 each charge. I will visit again but avoid the mixed grill. The rest of the order there were 5 of us was really good, Beautifully cooked and delicious.
