I don't think I have ever been spoken to so rudely in a pub or resturant before and in front of other custmers. After visiting the lovely little Iterringham village fayre we thought we would pop to the local village pub for a drink and some lunch, what a mistake! We of course expected it to be busy due to the fayre, but didnt expect to wait 40 minutes just to be able to order some food, we tried to order at the bar but told someone would be with us soon to take our order, in fact we chased up twice only to be told each time someone would be with us, by this time serveral other tables were waiting. Eventually a lady came out to take our order, we fed back that we were disappointed that we have had to wait so long, to which we were told very rudely how busy thery were and that they had to prioritise there custmers who had reserved tables and that they only had 3 chefs on, I was then asked aggressively if i wanted to order or not!! Obviously our answer was not! If they had simply politely apologised for keeping us waiting so long or explained the situation when we first arrived the whole unpleasant situation could have been avioded. We were also charged over a £11 for half a cider and a pint of beer! The service was absolutley disgusting and so rude, to make matters worse I think the lady may have been the manager, so there's no hope if that's how they treat customers. It's such a shame as the pub looks beautiful and is in such a lovely setting.

Looking for somewhere for lunch and somewhere we haven’t been too, the reviews were good so we booked lunch. Lovely old beamed country pub food was good I had the crab linguine which was really good. Nice lunch time menu not too fussy just the right amount of choice. Great atmosphere and the staff were efficient and friendly. Set in a historic village which is worth an amble around in itself. Bit of a trek off the beaten track but worth a trip if in the area.

I’ve known this pub for a lifetime having grown up in the village, worked there and seen many people running it. Sadly the food is not great now and the service is poor. Had to clear our own table from too many glasses. Portions are measly and there is a lack of care or finesse. Incomprehensibly I was served chicken Caesar on a steak iron, with undercooked chips. Mayo is cheap, and there is no soul to this once special place. Hopefully we will see a couple or someone who genuinely cares about good food take it on again. For now, it’s a shame it doesn’t live up to the environment it is in.

Lovely pub but food not up to standard for the price. Roast potatoes totally inedible I assume they had been cooked earlier and deep fried to reheat them. A distinct lack of vegetables with red cabbage more like soup. Beef was excellent though. Service was hit and miss, had to wait ages to order and then one waitress brought out 2 plates at a time for 6 or us so that took too long even though another waitress brought out 2 identical meals to a table that arrived 20 minutes after us. So could be a really great pub just needs their ideas bucking up.

We stopped by for an impromptu light lunch on a Saturday. Staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming and the food was delicious - fish finger sandwich was freshly cooked with crispy batter. It isn't cheap but being freshly cooked and a decent plateful I think it was worth the money. We loved it so much we came back to try the Sunday roast the next day. Again the staff were friendly and super accommodating, the roast beef was delicious with great yorkshire puddings, and the atmosphere was great. We will definitely be back.

Visited with a friend for a catch up and had a really lovely visit - was tempted by the winter set menu which felt like a good price for three courses and everything was delicious! Sat by the log fire which was a treat on a cold February night and we had a fab time. Would absolutely recommend! Great gin selection and a lovely low alcohol beer on tap 👍🏻

My wife and I (plus our two dogs) were staying in Norfolk for a couple of days and picked out The Walpole Arms as a place to go in the evening. I duly reserved a table before we came away. Arriving at the pub, we stood in front of a beautifully lit building which was most inviting. Inside was tastefully decorated and had a welcoming atmosphere. We were shown to a suitable table and served our drinks there, a couple of very nice pints of Hazy Ale. We decided to go for the mid week offer of 2 courses for £23, sharing a starter and a pudding. For our starter, we chose the sourdough, with baked Baron Bigod cheese and onion marmalade. Delicious. Main course was fish and chips, beautifully cooked fish with home made tartare sauce, samphire and peas. Chips were hot and crispy. For dessert we shared the sticky toffee pudding, very light, with a tasty toffee sauce and vanilla ice cream. Have to say it was one of the best meals i have ever had in a pub, such a shame we don’t live closer.

We left without eating. The waitress had a cold and coughed into her hands without washing them. A few minutes later she was repeatedly blowing her nose into the same damp paper hanky. She didn’t see any need to wash her hands or leave the room. Somewhat off putting. Add to that stale beer. Not to forget that we were the only people in and so treated to the staff discussing their lives whilst the maitre d issued instructions loudly and shrilly for ages. Like we were not there.

Service was AWFUL. We waited 15 mins for our drinks to them be told they didn’t have what I ordered. Then waited 45 mins for starters and so was very slow - all be it food was lovely once it arrived. Then we waited 25 mins for the table to be cleared and when I said something they were offended. When we asked to remove service charge the response was “I already did as I got the vibe” simply RUDE. Clearly under staffed. Not the warm and friendly pub it used to be when it served Spanish food. We always travel to come here when we visit Norfolk but I won’t be going back. Such a shame!!!

Well, if you are in the bar area then, yeah, the atmosphere is a lot better...still not great, mind you. The other restaurant part, though (to be fair, like many establishments in Norfolk!) is not good - especially if you are sat alone, like we were. All you can hear is the kitchen staff...and watch them marching up and down outside and inside taking the bins out, accessing the fridges / freezers, which are positioned bizarrely away from the kitchen. The food was mediocre. My venison stew was nice, but insanely hot, the dumplings dry and crusty and tepid in the middle - and tasteless. Basically, all the elements of the dish had been largely assembled from pre-cooked food - which is fine, if you actually do it right! The chicken caeser salad was weird and the burger mediocre. Not good value for the money. Wouldn't go back.

It was a sunny Sunday lunchtime, but even though we were just there for mid-walk drinks, we were warmly welcomed. The staff were all friendly and helpful – and the gentleman behind the bar was very knowledgeable about the Norfolk Rum on offer. His recommendation was very tasty indeed. There’s a good selection of drinks and the seating in the garden is perfect. The food looked fantastic – we’ll definitely be back to try it.

Been wanting to try the Walpole Arms for ages. Inside and out it looks great and reviews seemed positive so went for dinner. Unfortunately we were met by a number of staff who seemed to be struggling with the busy service, kept apologising and forgetting simple requests. The menu was pretty limited and the food, to be frank, less than generous and very average. Some items also were rediculously expensive e.g. a very small quantity of sliced breakfast sausage "nibble" with honey & mustard at £8 and ham, egg and chips at £18. It was one of those meals where you pay, don't make a fuss, grumble and vow not to come again. Sorry guys.

Lovely old pub, first time I have visited since before covid. Thought I’d try it for a Sunday lunch. However, disappointed that they could not offer me a gluten free beer, had to opt for a cider. Checked menu out for gluten free options, waitress said she would have to check with the kitchen to see whether they had gf flour for batter for fish. I actually opted for a burger(always a safe bet) waitress came back to advise that they did not have any gf buns. However I must say the burger was very good. Decided to have a dessert, sticky toffee pudding was annotated with GF and confirmed by waitress that it was, so I ordered that, 5 mins later she came back to inform me that it was a typo and was not gf at all. Warning to coeliac’s, check menu and don’t assume that because it says GF on the menu, that is actually is. Still Walpole is a smashing old world pub and very popular but it needs to give a bit more thought when it comes to catering for those who have to follow a gluten free diet.

Two sandwiches, and two kids meals which are massively over the top for kids! Practically an adult meal and kids hardly ate them due being far too strong in flavour which after trying they were. Sixty quid later for 3 drinks and four main meals, probably look elsewhere next time due to being very expensive for what you get.

Fantastic quality have to say. With a great choice of veg. Can't wait to return. Hope there's not too many cask beers left. With the Fri and Sat weather most people probably had the keg offerings. Deya for £5 a pint especially. Didn't stay for the band -bad planning but they sounded good warming up. Next year. A slight smell wafting perhaps a drain issue. Won't end on a low though. Brilliant.

Very chill atmosphere with super friendly and helpful staff all around. The food was AMAZING, the prices were very affordable/ reasonable as well for the festival ticket! The beer mugs included are so cute, I will definitely be going again in future years. I loved it! If you're thinking about trying somewhere new, this is definitely the place to try.

For what we learned was a relatively new pub, The Walpole Arms feels like a community fixture for the picturesque village of Itteringham. Our meals, a chicken shawarma and an oxshin stew, were delectable and enhanced by the good company of our hosts, Peter and Lis, of the Itteringham Mill B&B a stone's throw away. They have a great couple of holiday cottages, one suitable for a couple like us, the other for four, in dreamlike repose by the river over which sits the Mill, and in whose every verdant and carpented detail their hard work is evident. We would visit again and again so long as the Mill, and The Walpole Arms, remain in such good hands.

We made our first visit to The Walpole Arms following the recommendation of friends. It was a lovely sunny day and lots of people were seated outside. We had a quiet inside table and appreciated the cool atmosphere. Once our drinks has been brought, we ordered roasts and they arrived promptly. However, there was quite a gap between the arrival of our plates of meat and the supporting vegetables. By the time we got to eat, the meat had cooled. The food was well cooked and there were plenty of vegetables and lots of gravy to enjoy. After our plates had been cleared, we ordered desserts but, this time, the wait was considerable and then they were delivered in drabs and drabs. Again the food as excellent. Overall the ambience was great; the food was excellent but the service was poor. Meanwhile, everyone was very friendly which pushed the overall score up from 'average' to 'good'! On getting home, I discovered that a 10% service charge had been added to our bill. We were not told about this at the time and - if I'd known - I would not have added a substantial tip!

Wow! What a meal! We were visiting Blickling on Sunday and decided to visit the Walpole for lunch after, and were hugely impressed. As it was a Sunday they had the roasts on the menu which were exceptional. An amazing selection of veg accompanied very tasty roast beef. The massive Yorkshire pudding finished it off nicely. There was even a mini pot of their ox shin stew alongside it. To start I had garlic king prawns on sourdough which was divine, and my husband had the skate rib off the specials menu - again, he rated this 10/10. We ate in the bar area and our dog was made very welcome and even given a biscuit. Highly recommend, 11/10!

We visited last night as a party of six and had a great time. Most of the party orders fish and chips which was great! Very large and great batter. I had the steak which was cooked to perfection and my husband had a couple of starters. Service was great with lots of knowledge and they couldn’t do enough for us. If we were local we would be back!

What a fantastic find! This is the best Sunday roast we have eaten out! Such a wonderful welcome and lovely atmosphere with the warming fire! The children were made to feel really happy with great interaction from the manager! Children’s roasts were no problem for the pub to organise and they even provided sweetcorn to keep the youngest member of the party happy. We had lamb, beef and chicken roasts and everyone was really pleased with the meat and giant Yorkshire pudding. There was a delicious selection of vegetables and having your own individual jug of gravy was great. Plenty of choice for dessert and equally delicious. All brilliant value and top quality produce. Cannot recommend this place and the staff more highly.

Had a lovely three course meal this Valentine’s evening. The food was amazing, great menu, we could have had anything off it and would not have been disappointed. The service was really friendly and there was a lovely log burner going in the bar area. The atmosphere in the pub was really nice too. We will definitely be back.

This place is truly a hidden gem, everything about it is just perfect. This pub is so remote and isolated that it gets no passing trade, the only way for it to thrive to make sure that the food/service/beer is top notch and they achieve this with flying colors. The menu is adventurous without being pretentious and the food is simply outstanding. Every dish my wife and I had was fantastic, even the beef stew absolutely sang with flavor. The kitchen crew certainly know their trade and clearly aim for excellence with everything they prepare. The chips were the crispiest that I have ever had in a pub and were a great contrast to the tender and juicy stew. The cask ales were kept very well too. The serving staff were very friendly but always professional. They are recommended in the AA food guide, but are certainly worthy of a rosette.

It’s a very nice restaurant with lovely oak beams and nice atmosphere . The service was good and friendly. We were not impressed with the menu. For example no fish on the menu of starters. Mains were not inspiring and we settled for burgers and fish and chips, which l have to say were excellent. But could have had at any of the restaurants in North Norfolk area. The deserts were not good, l had to use a knife to cut the very dry crust on my tart. They really need to revamp the menu. Would probably go again as we really like the pub and hopefully the menu will improve.

We felt immediately welcome and at home as we entered this lovely gastro pub. Vegan options were on the menu and a couple of extra choices were offered. The food was imaginative and beautifully presented - tasting as good as it looked. The chef had a chat and was so enthusiastic about his food that you could see it was genuine. The atmosphere was just right, buzzy and cosy as if everyone knew each other. So happy to find that the Walpole Arms is back on its feet again - the restaurant was full on a Saturday afternoon - a delight!

The Walpole Arms is very welcoming, and we enjoyed having a drink on the cosy sofas by the fireplace. We visited on a Sunday and had one of the best roast dinners we have ever had. The attention to detail on the food, flavours and accompaniement shined through. The beef roast was tender and flavoursome, accompanied by braised ox tail, with a selection of delicious vegetables (cheesy leeks, perfectly roasted potatoes, root veg purée and greens) and Yorkshire pudding. Desserts were equally delicious, highly recommend the sticky toffee pudding with the eccles cake ice cream or the chocolate délice. Atmosphere is friendly, pub is cosy in one of the most beautiful spots around Blickling. We are planning our next visit to taste the weekly menu! Highly recommended.

Best meal we’ve had out in ages. Really great food throughout. I ate off the Veganuary menu: a chowder which was delicious and unusual, followed by a chocolate and coconut delice that was absolutely exceptional. A lot of time, effort and skill had gone into that pudding and I finished it even though I was so full! My husband had fish and chips that was classically simple but so fresh with fantastic batter. Than a sublime treacle tart. They were short-staffed so we waited longer than I would expect, but service was friendly and apologetic for the wait. Prices extremely good value for the quality. Will definitely return

WE took advantage of a spare table for six and a dog on New Year's Eve having whilst staying in the Itteringham Manor House over New Year. Staff were awesome, food was great (two veggies had a bit of an issue with over spicy parsnips - which was taken off the bill). Beer and wine superb and a thoroughly enjoyable night was highlighted by an incredible fireworks display! Many thanks to everyone. We'll be back!

Delightful evening -- great food, excellent service, and warm welcome. We greatly enjoyed our dinner and look forward to a return visit soon. The restaurant hits a perfect balance of gastropub with excellent food and a warm neighborhood spot -- and very dog friendly. Sam Rush, Head Chef, focuses on locally sourced foods and produces superb dishes. We particularly enjoyed the spicy lamb on flatbread as a shared starter, and Admiral Pie and beef stew as mains -- with outstanding chips and winter vegetables on the side. And their own brewed lager and bitter were outstanding!

Another excellent meal at the Walpole Arms this evening. The food was beautifully presented and was full of flavour. The staff were attentive although the venue was very busy. We dined at a Corrigans in London which has 2 Michelin stars, about 2 months ago and i would say that the food this evening was on par with Corrigans! Dog friendly too.
