The Railway Arms in Breckland

Popped in today for a drink as in the area . (Recommended by Nicky George landlord of our local , The Greyhound Swaffham .) I can't agree more when he said it is a little gem . Will be reserving a place for a meal soon The food looked amazing, same are our drinks .😊

We have visited this pub many times since we moved to the lovely village of North Elmham near East Dereham . The great value food has always been beautifully prepared and served. Although there is not a wide range the draft real ale is always at it's best. The hosts, chef and staff are always very attentive and nothing is to much trouble to ensure a great experience.

Omg... Just bloody delicious!! Lovely staff and met the chef who was a great guy. The food is insanely delicious. Couldn't recommend more...

Could not fault the railway, great food and some different things too. Very friendly, helpful staff. Car park at back and garden, with vegs used in house. A special thank you to the lovely young lady who gave us directions so as not to walk on the main road. Good selection of local beer too. Thanks for our lovely evenings.

Amazing food and really friendly staff

A excellent menu and superb food, friendly, efficient and professional service really impressed

Wow - what a great meal. Everything was the best it could have been, the food was amazing, the staff were excellent, the location was lovely and the price was a bargain. Never had a better Sunday roast than this.

We've visited the Railway Arms twice now and on both occasions we were made very welcome. The pub is bright, clean and comfortable and there is a great choice on the menu, reasonably priced too. Importantly for us, our large dogs are warmly greeted by the hosts and their lovely little Westie (there is a dog-free seating area too). A lovely pub in a beautiful location. Will be back again soon.

YES Lunches are wonderful also for an evening with friends and or a great meal for business clients if you want to impress.

We booked for eight people (five adults and three children) on a Wednesday evening. Were asked to preorder because of the size of the party but this was not a problem and indeed made the evening itself run more smoothly. The children were catered for very well and the waitress was very attentive to their needs. Overall, the food was very good. No two people had the same meal and all were very happy with their meals. Wine, though only limited in choice, was very reasonably priced and the New Zealand sauvignon blanc was excellent. To sum up, we had a great family meal and an enjoyable evening.

Lovely friendly place good beer and great food new restaurant is very very good do have a look

Came here a couple of years ago and it is still brilliant! Great food, fantastic staff, trust a little bit noisy in the conservatory when full.

Well impressed, clean welcoming, fast efficient and friendly service, lovely food excellent surroundings, well worth a visit, if I had to give an improvement it would be an occasional smile from the owners other than that no complaints would recommend to all

Best place to eat and drink in Norfolk

Good local pub serving great beer and excellent food. Welcoming and friendly staff. Very reasonable pricing. More than happy to return if ever back in the area. Would have no hesitation in recommending to others.

Food was fantastic. My mum enjoyed fresh Cromer crab, and I had a lovely homemade fish pie, followed by an amazing key lime pie. Very dog friendly as well 😃 Haven’t been before but will definitely be going again.

Visited whilst staying locally, friendly welcoming hosts, good beer and excellent food on offer. Nice garden at the back. Would have no hesitation in returning if back in the area. Very much recommended.

Very friendly pub with lovely welcoming locals, great food with a reliable long serving chef. Parking front and rear, good idea to book. Patio and garden area at back. Well worth a visit if you are passing . Not far from the old atmosphere of the currently closed Mid Norfolk Railway station.

We went yesterday and had roast pork with lots of fresh vegetable. The portions sizes were very generous and quality was excellent, very tasty and wholesome. All staff were very helpful and attentive the chef came round all the tables to ask how the meal was and this is a old habit that I’m afraid had disappeared, so hats off to the chef, don’t know his name sorry 🫣 This is our first visit and live local ‘ish, gressenhall Only two down sides, which will be hard to rectify the numbers flies in Resturant and no cover from the strong sun onto our table. But we want to again soon. Thanks the railway arms. So tasty and fresh. This is the photo of my child’s meal !!! Terry & Susie Clarkson

Great food and there's always a couple of decent real ales on. Real ale prices are very reasonable too.

Had a really good Sunday roast here. Good portions and great quality. Best I've had in ages.

Lovely pub / resturant Menu is very good Prices are fair Portions are big You are not rushed Staff friendly Advised to book wellin advance. We went on a Wednesday evening had booked in advance glad we did as resturant was full

Always excellent food and service never lets u down.

Such a welcoming place to be and fabulous food and exceptional value for money. Go there if you can get a table. Highly recommend

Took a while for food to come which apparently is very unusual but when it did it was extremely tasty. Best pie I've ever eaten 😋

A friendly welcome and real effort to fit us in having turned up unbooked for Sunday lunch. The lunch choice and quality was superb, unbeatable and it was gratifying to see the chef doing the rounds. The beer and wine was excellent and the service impeccable. I had visited the inn of old but it has been some years since: I always liked it but golly gosh has it gone up in the world, a better offering but still a good pub.

We had a great meal all 21 of us,, no complaints from anyone, so that says a lot ,, Great food good price ,, very happy group

We have been to this pub on several occasions. The food is fabulous and excellent value for money. The chef deserves a pay rise.

Without a shadow of a doubt, hands down…the best roast dinner in the area. Very relaxed atmosphere, john the head chef takes the time to have a walk around to say hi and ask if all is ok with your meal, outstanding and friendly service from Cliff, Anne and the waitresses.

The Railway Arms always delivers on so many counts, without fault. Wonderful hard working and attentive staff who really do go out of their way to please. And the food, what can I say; fantastic Sunday roast, so delicious, generous size portions and so flavoursome! A true credit to John the chef and the front of house staff. This really is one of Norfolk’s hidden gem’s. If you want the best roast in Norfolk, this is it!

Nice proper pub pleasant staff and excellent food. Book ahead of you want Sunday lunch

Drunken landlord who makes inappropriate comments to women and has no tolerance for our dogs barking once at another dog who was wining and asked us to leave we will never ever go back

This is a great place to go for Sunday lunch, food cooked to perfection with loads of lovely accompaniment veg. Even an extra jug of gravy… perfect. Excellent service by all the team.

We went here for a sunday lunch, and it was delicious. There were plenty of vegetables and meat, all of which tasted incredible. This was one of the best sunday lunches I've had in a long while. The waitresses were also very accommodating and ensured that we had everything we needed. The only thing preventing a 5-star review for this lovely place was the lack of vegan/ vegetarian options. I can't speak for other days of the week, but on the sunday menu there was only one non-meat option, so the vegetarian member of our party was limited in choice of food. Other than this, it was a fantastic and delicious meal.

Superb Sunday lunch two weeks ago. The bar was very busy, a good sign, and the dining room was well set out, plenty of leg room for our tall son! It was the best Sunday lunch we had since moving to Norfolk. A real find. The portions are very generous and plenty of fresh vegetables. The chef came to all the tables to ask if we had enjoyed our lunch. A really nice touch. We will be back. The staff were lovely and we would like to thank them for all their hard work on a busy Sunday lunchtime.

Went for a very enjoyable lunch with a friend, mid week lunchtime. Service was good, not pushy and friendly. Food was excellent. I had a sword fish steak with new pots and veg. Extremely tasty and filling, price was good and I’d recommend the Railway Arms 👍

After numerous recommendations we finally made it. So pleased we did. Superb food, generous portions and reasonable prices. Service was friendly and quick. Good food, good beer and good service what more do you need. Will be back.

This was our first time at The Railway Arms and it was superb. We were there for Sunday lunch and were blown away by the quality of the food, generous portions, great serious and the buzzy vibe of other happy diners. We’ll definitely be back.

We dropped by for Sunday lunch and the experience was all we could have hoped for. Excellent food, generous portions, great service and a warm, buzzy atmosphere.

So impressed with the food, had the Lamb and liver, brilliant food, lovely waitress, nice the chef asked if everything was ok he certainly know how to cook.

Our first visit to the Railway Arms and the best roast we've ever had . Great service and perfect atmosphere. Will definitely return

We regularly go to this pub for our Sunday lunch and we are never disappointed. The food is hot and delicious especially the roast beef! It comes with plenty of veggies including cauliflower cheese. All of it tastes superb and there is plenty of it! The roast potatoes are lovely. We always leave very full. We would also like to say how lovely the waitress staff are. Always smiling and cheerful and very efficient. It's getting harder and harder to book it's that good! So reluctantly we are giving this review, afraid of losing our regular lunch! Sharon

Nice little pub. Delicious food. Reasonably priced. Baby changing facilities and disabled/pram access. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Easy to book.

Great meal out, our server Mia was spectacular! Attentive and great with our kids!

Great food and friendly staff, will be back again

what a gem. a menu with so many appealing choices. and what we decided upon did not disappoint.

Very good food and the staff was very kind and attentive. Well done!

Absolutely the best meal out I have had for ages. Superb quality, friendly and attentive staff. This place is a gem! Dog friendly, too

Great friendly place to eat. Friendly staff and good food.

Great meal at reasonable prices, friendly staff. One thing that irked us that they charged 50p for milk for a cup of tea, surely milk goes with a cup of tea unless you request otherwise, it would make sense if they just charged £2 for a cup of tea with milk instead of £1.50 + 50p for the milk!

Outstanding pub. Beautifully laid out. Perfect service.

Consistently good. Been here many times and has always been good.

Great English village pub with exquisite attention to detail. Marvellous service. Friendly staff. Happened upon this pub by chance on a bike ride during a weekend away. Offered complimentary roasties & gravy (it was Sunday!) Cheeky tasty treat - thank you!. Shame we couldn’t stay longer

Lovely pub, staff are really friendly and a good selection of drinks.

Always love the Railway, superb as usual

First visit, very impressed good food and service. The pork belly is a must

This was the first time we had visited The Railway Arms for a meal and I have to say it exceeded my expectations on several counts. The dining room itself was lovely, full of natural light and very comfortable. Our meals were exceptional. I had the roast beef which was perfectly cooked medium-rare as I like it and very tasty. The portion size was generous too and was very good value for money. Finally I have to add that the young waitresses were a credit to the owners. They were knowledgeable, attentive, respectful and very well presented. We are looking forward to returning soon.

We have eaten here a few times now and have never been disappointed. A lovely venue with a warm local pub atmosphere, friendly staff and great food. Portion sizes are very generous and good value. I cannot recommend highly enough!

Had Sunday lunch. The food was perfect. Large portions and delicious. Staff were friendly and very efficient. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful local pub and dining. Highly recommended and friendly atmosphere plus excellent quisine

Visiting family in Norfolk, we went to this pub for an early evening meal. It was just lovely with amazing staff. Both waitresses who took our order and brought food were great and accommodating to anything we wanted. The food was lovely. My husband and...

Chef and waitresses are amazing. Roit nice plase Boi!

Amazing roast, lovely pub, great staff and a sweet pub dog. What more could you want?! Genuinely haven't found a better roast anywhere. Beef is to die for with all the trimmings, chef is fab and often comes to check everyone is happy!

We were staying in the area for a long weekend. Popped into this pub for a light bite just as the kitchen was closing. The staff were welcoming and accommodating and offered us baguettes because of the time of our arrival. These were fresh, delicious...

Had a good meal, hot and tastie. Going again in a couple of months.

What a great pub to eat in. Warm and welcoming staff with great choices. I settled for the steak and Stilton pie. A great choice.

Very friendly and accommodating. Delicious food and good portions. Very reasonably priced.

We booked here for Sunday lunch, as we were holidaying in the area and were not disappointed. The food portions were generous, so tasty and faultless. Service was great too.

Very nice restaurant and bar, service was very good.

I went with 6 friends and were very pleased with every aspect of the meal and drink. The staff were very friendly and efficient.

Exceptional food and service. The best cheese board I have ever had.

We found this little gem through Google Maps. Not only was the food amazing, the portions were big and the prices were very reasonable. It is a quiet little pub with great personality. A must try if you are in the area.

Revamped a while ago and now a lovely, friendly, place for either a drink/lunch in spacious back garden or dinner in ‘old’ pub, or extension at back. Good food - fresh cooked; smooth service by 2 young ladies, who not only communicated with us and...

A little off the beaten track, a great find and definitely worth a visit. The pub is traditional on the inside with what looks like a recently added conservatory restaurant on the back. Staff were friendly and the landlady super efficient. Food was very very...

Anne Marie and her staff were very friendly. The food was excellent and the atmosphere great. She gave us some advice on local spots to visit and her West Highland White roams about looking very cute. Would definitely recommend.

A little off the beaten track but food was great definitely worth a visit

As always perfect service and food. Freshly cooked haddock served, excellent pork dish also. Both presented well. A great array of food available at every visit. Thank you all.

Just popped in for a pint.lovely place we didn't eat but the food looked great. Very friendly staff. Would definitely go again

Lovely local pub, accommodated a big group of us with no problems and food was delicious and very reasonable in price

Lovely restaurant food was really good. Staff very professional and helpful. Starters we had duck pancakes and prawn cocktail. Mains pork with noodles. Chicken Burger and Butter Chicken curry from the special board.

Just stopped for a drink, a lovely little bar, and friendly staff.

We were served by a charming young lady called Melody, who was really helpful and polite. She should be promoted, and the Bakewell tart was out of this world.

Another lovely place, recommend it yo anyone

Exceptional Sunday roast, portions only surpassed by the lovely staff who served us. 2nd visit, will be back.

Great food, lovely venue, friendly and helpful staff, good car park.

Lovely food, good local ales, dog friendly

We have visited here a few times now visiting family in Dereham for lunch. I would highly rate it - the staff are great, always friendly and want to chat. The menu is vast and has also great children's options. The portions are very good,...

Great pub with gorgeous food. Relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

A most excellent Restaurant. Our visit was for Sunday lunch. The staff are very friendly and efficient. The meals were plentiful and tasted excellent. Will be returning later in the week to try an evening meal. Can thoroughly recommend this place.

Excellent food at affordable prices. Genuinely lovely owners with friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful venue too. Definitely highly recommended.

Really enjoyed our anniversary meal here, attentive staff, great, well cooked food at reasonable price, will come back!

Wow. A “proper” pub and fantastic Sunday lunch. You can tell the care and attention that the owners give to the Railway Arms. Food was really really good and service was spot on. Thank you. We will definitely return.

Fantastic Sunday lunch. Really is one of the best in the area

Myself and a friend had lunch here. The service was excellent. The food was delicious and well presented. Amazing overall experience I will be visiting again. Highly recommend.

Excellent service and great food at very affordable prices, whether you want a "big lunch" or just a lighter snack. Very varied menu from salads and baguettes at around£8-£10, to a full 3-course lunch for around £24. Large portions though so beware of ordering hungry! Good coffee too.

Have been recommended this restaurant by friends. It did not let us down, great menu with outstanding food. Think it will be our favourite place to eat from now on. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu

A little gem, lovely food, and brilliant staff especially Mea and the chef. When we are in Norfolk again we will definitely be back

One of the best pub Sunday lunches I have experienced. Regarding the photo, there were also plenty of vegetables 👍
