Great pub, but gets very busy and is smaller than it looks. Can be a bit crowded. Having said that, good selection of beers at average prices, great food and (usually) good car park. Tip: when the road is busy, turn left out of the carpark and use the roundabout to head for Norwich or you coul be waiting a while!

I came here on Saturday, 24th August, as a pit stop on the way to Carrow Road as Sheffield United played Norwich City. The waitresses were pretty attractive and friendly, but the food was even better. I ordered Nachos, and they were so delicious. They had Jalapeños, chili, and kidney beans with them. A bit pricey, but the experience was good. The atmosphere was great, us Sheffield United fans singing loud and proud and drinking

We only stopped for a flying visit as we were passing through. The place seemed popular and busy. They had a decent selection if drinks and served food, though we didn't eat. Quite a modern building with slightly dated furniture but all clean and a nice vibe. I would visit again.

So many disappointing roasts out there in restaurants and pubs today that I almost stopped trying to eat out on a Sunday lunch time. We'll most certainly be back ☺️

Unfortunately the website hadn't been updated to say they're not doing cooked breakfast in January and won't be doing them until 11th Feb. We did stay for a light brunch and the food was very good. Lovely staff, nice inside so will look forward to February 😉

A local village pub serving pub food pretty well, we walked in and people were cgatting and watching sport, families eating, a fiod warm atmosphere. We had halloumi sticks and brie wedges to start which were fab, mains were battered halloumi with chips, Scampi and chips, station burger with bacon, brie and cranberry, battered chicken breast in a Brioche bun. The scampi and halloumi came with thick chips whilst the others came with fries which were preferable. My Chicken breast was only just cooked through so was a little soft for my liking and needed to be drained a bit more before adding to the bun as it did nake the base of the bun soggy. The Desserts were amazing! The staff were friendly and attentive, all in all a nice evening out

Hi the reason I have give my rating as a 4 on the review is because the the seafood platter that I had I would say is a tad over price at £18 and I would do that for around £14 it was a nice filling meal ish I believe that the scampi maybe a frozen it wasn't as fresh as I thought it would have been apart from the staff the owner and everybody else is fantastic very respectable to new people who come to the pub a very nice garden a lot of seating areas for different types of people with disabled people or the average Joe person you made to be very welcome at the tavern plenty of parking and a very good atmosphere and we'll be trying more of the food in the near future and has a vegetarian come vegan hopefully there will be plenty of choices but thank you for my my nice day that I had when I went there with my fiance thank you I will be returning to sample more of your lovely food

This place has since done a menu change and the burgers are not that good, I have changed my rating. This place is lovely! We have been twice so far for the burgers!!! Norwich has a lot of burger restaurants but these are by far the best in the city! You can tell they use good quality meat and and price is really good in comparison to the quality on your plate!! The stokes sauces are also a brilliant contribution to any meal!

The container size recently reduced by 1/3 (pic enclosed) what a rather despicable practice this is. It insults my intelligence. Very expensive for what it was. VFM isn’t great. Cost £12.00 I’d say thats £9.00 profit. Massively overpriced in my opinion. I’d use again but ‘no where near’ as often as I could. The owners are driven by profit at any cost. When should a customer stop using a service who’s forgotten the importance of value for money?
