The Warrener in Breckland

Went for breakfast! What breakfast? No pastries, just bread and fruit. Slow service when it came to replenishing the cooked breakfast buffet and lots of empty dishes and basket. Not impressed and won't be going back.

This restaurant has rapidly gone down hill. Food is always cold, service is slow even when no one in restaurant. Tried 3 times this year rubbish everytime don't waste your money here

Went for a xmas meal with friends,didn't make much of a fuss,as wanted to enjoy myself,but the xmas meal,turkey & trimmings was tasteless,no substance to it at all,the gravy was like water,if you serve this on xmas day,I think you would get a lot of complaints,as a member of our party said,this is hardly any different to what we could get here any night of the week,but prices have shot up ?

Brilliant evening at The Warrener for our annual Xmas reunion. The staff welcomed our party of 22 with good food and a lovely atmosphere which they do every year. This year our waitress was Kiera who looked after us all with the support of the Warrener crew. Thankyou to all the team involved in making our evening complete. Sandra G

Kiera was great and service was very quick.

Kiera Was a fantastic waitress. We really enjoyed our food!

Caitlin and Kiera were great!! The food is always very good especially when Courtney and Leah are in

Lovely place for a big breakfast

Should be an option for zero stars since they have denied our PRE BOOKED booking food. Manager has obviously been cheated on recently as she was extremely rude but seems to be a running theme with British service staff.

I wish I could give it zero stars. Manager was extremely rude and unwilling to accomodate our group. We had a booking and decided to leave after their terrible customer service and relocated to the Crown in Mundford who were happy to accomodate despite being a smaller venue and were extremely friendly.

Terrible experience, booking made and on arrival rudely greeted and shoved in a corner that didn’t have enough seating, left quickly to The Crown which was more than happy to accommodate.

Staff were unwilling to accommodate a larger sized booking (which was booked ahead of time) and wouldn’t offer food. They were rude and unwilling to assist us and it was not an inviting atmosphere. The Crown in Mundford (which is a significantly smaller pub) was willing to cater for us. Would not recommend The Warrener.

Regular visitors but at last I feel I can say the food was really nice. I had smoothed chicken which was cooked really well, chicken wasn’t dry and was really tender. My husband had lasagne which was also cooked exactly as he liked it. Only one issue, the garlic bread hadn’t been toasted but didn’t spoil our experience. Well done the kitchen staff. Also, thank you to the waiting staff for their attention

Visited here with friends as it was a good half way point. Good service, nice pub and nice food just small portions hence price being cheap for 3 course meal.

Well cooked ,perfect temperature lots of choice

Staff were excellent especially Scott and Maciej.

We absolutely love The Warrener. Let me say...every Premier Inn restaurant is clearly not the same. Recently I've been travelling around the UK, taking for granted that the quality of food we experience at The Warrener we would experience everywhere. This is a complete myth. The food at The Warrener is high end restaurant quality. A bit like quality home cooking. And the service there is equally exceptional. Lucy has been looking after us for many years now, but the standard of service is always very personal and very rich. We absolutely look forward to eating there. It feels like home from home, but waaaay better. I recommend very highly.

Lovely breakfast today, and even better service from Bonnie, lucy and Michelle. Thankyou

I honestly wish I could give this place 10 stars. Myself, my husband and 2 year old have been coming here atleast once a year for the past two years as a stop gap between our Center Parcs holiday and its my absolutely favourite part of our time away. We always stay at the premier inn attached and have dinner and breakfast. The food is amazing so fresh and delicious like a home cooked meal. The staff are so welcoming and friendly an are always happy to accommodate your requests as best they can. The atmosphere is so relaxing and family friendly. I cannot speak highly enough of the food, staff and atmosphere and I would recommend to anyone who was staying in or visiting Thetford.

Pub food, reasonably priced, nice decor and service

Thank you to the team at the Warrener, Shannon, Sam and Josh. Great service. Love from Millie and her family!

I visited this place with family on a Sunday, it was busy but not over busy There were 14 of us prebook. It was a bit of a disaster tell you the truth. The Staff were very friendly and ambieant. The place is warm and friendly and your made to feel welcome. However most of our food arrived coldvto the table on both starters and mains. Cutlery was also missing and drinks were ordered twice by mistakes. I'm guessing it's just miss communication with staff and us having a large number on our table. I wouldn't mind but the minimal food on your plate as well for what you pay is quite shocking when it arrives cold. The manager was very friendly and took a discount off and offered some free deserts to 3 of us which was nice considering nobody really ate there cold food. However over £300 to pay with a discount is a shock. I have in the past recommended this place as a nice cosy spot for couples to wine and dine. I will not be recommending The Warrener for large group sit down meals as it seems the staff get overwhelmed and the kitchen can not keep up.

Spur of the moment decision to call in for a roast. Always good food here and bonus that they had turkey. I also like the fact the staff always stop for a chat. Makes it very relaxing.

Great food, helpful friendly and polite staff (Conor and Abbi) looked after our table of 9 people. Pleasant atmosphere, we enjoyed our evening.

We had a great evening here with our young boys. Food was tasty and served calmly and with a smile by Keira. Definitely recommend.

Friendly welcome. Staff helpful. Food was nice and very good value.

Lovely cosy pub, nicely decorated ahead of Christmas. Good lighting and brilliant service from Scott, it's so refreshing to have a happy waiter/server who is genuinely good at their job! Sadly, the food was disappointing. Under cooked vegetables and very sad looking roast potatoes on the festive menu but a good proce considering portions.

Went on a last minute wim for tea with a friend Lovely food 😋 steak cooked perfectly Pudding was surprisingly nice too all went down a treat Had a few drinks after meal at the bar to finish off the night Staff (Caitlin and Josh)were both friendly and very attentive Made it a lovely 😍 enjoyable evening Definitely will be returning ☺️

My monthly visits are with a Breakfast Club. The Warrener not only welcomed us to hold our events in the restaurant, they gave us a permanent booking for each of our monthly events, and allocated us a suitably separated area where we could conduct our business without disturbing other guests. The food is of a high quality, fresh from the kitchen, hot and very tasty. The breakfast, together with Tea and Coffee, are bottomless and available throughout the breakfast period. The service and attention that we receive from all the staff during our events is friendly, very hospitable, and most accommodating. A great venue.

Great service as always. Thank you Katrina for an amazing service as always. Great value for money too. Breakfast is delicious and so much to choose from. Kids loved it too.

My son has special needs and the team in the Premier Inn and the restaurant are always very welcoming to him and his habits and needs that come with his autism. We particularly appreciate the kindness from Meghan in the hotel and Sam, Conor and Kiera in the restaurant. Kiera is very nice with John and listens very carefully to his needs. She always serves drinks and food to John first which is a nice touch. Thank you all.

I honestly thought this place was better than Spoons in Thetford town . Well done to the Warrener

Absolutely love visiting the Warrener always great food, for a very good price. All staff are fantastic and always make for an enjoyable visit!! Our waitress Shanon was great very pleasant and nothing was to much trouble!

Pretty good, no complaints. Thanks Shannon.

Awesome food at pretty wizard prices, great meal with my two besties. Shannon was excellent and really friendly as well!!

Our waitress Shannon was wonderful. Served in a timely manner and food was excellent as usual. Many thanks

The service was excellent, thanks, kiera. Looking forward to our next visit.

Great breakfast always come on a Tuesday Sarah and kat are always give great service and lively ladies can't ask for better our new regular spot

Stopped off here for breakfast. Very nice selection of hot food and drinks. Everything was great. Katrina was friendly and helpful. Will definitely call in again.

What a lovely team that work here. Keira was our server and she (and her colleagues) made our meal so special. The food was spot on, we were comfortable, and the price was really good value. But what made our evening was the genuinely warm and friendly staff. They were kind, attentive, thoughtful and nothing seemed too much trouble. They gave my daughter a gift for her birthday which was completely unexpected - I'd asked them when we arrived if they did anything special for birthdays, but this was way more than a birthday hat or a balloon - it was a box of chocs and a personalised card. The good service didnt stop there. Against my wishes, my daughter wanted to pay for the meal, so between the staff a diversion was created by them to distract her at the bar, leaving me free to deal with the bill :-) I honestly cannot fault the team, from the friendly bar staff to the kindness shown by Keira. They clearly love their job and enjoy looking after people. Thankyou for making our dinner such a pleasant experience.

Good quality classic pub food at amazingly accessible prices with very friendly staff. And a deal of £12 for two meals, from 12-6 pm during the week! Best fries I’ve had in a long time, so crispy and fresh.

The staff were exceptional. The food was very good too. Thank you.

Lovely lunch today served by Katrina who was very friendly and efficient.We will be back!

Average no thrills affordable diner easy

We had gone to Thetford for a family trip and booked in for dinner at The Warrener. The service was incredible! Shannon was a special stand out, she somehow managed to remember all our orders despite all the tables in her section being full, you never felt like you were taking up her time either. The food was incredible, the service speedy. Highly recommend going.

We live close by and it is an excellent spot to stop and relax. The Warrener hosts a very cozy atmosphere inside while the out doors tables provide a breezy spot for get-togethers with friends. Sam is an absolute legend and I'm always happy to see him there - especially behind the bar! Tonight we were served by Kiera, and she made us feel at ease, and even brought us the ton foil out to wrap up our baby's food. Class.

I have been visiting the Warrener for several years mainly around lunch time and always experienced affordable choices of food and great service. There is plenty of free parking at the time of my visits, so I'm not sure if they are planning parking cameras in the near future.

Lunch in Tuesday. 11.99£ for 2 fish and chips. Big portions. Tasty. No issues at all. Friendly staff. We will be back 😁

Really enjoyed The Warrener, took my dad for dinner. He is 83, struggles to walk but staff are so lovely patience and empathetic towards him, nothing is to much trouble and they work so hard.

We came last Sunday; needed a table for 10 … 4 adults and 6 kids we booked online with no difficulties and we’re there within the hour. A warm reception and are server for the evening was Josh; he was really helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Kids meals were good value and with a starter main and dessert for £6.49 my hungry 12 & 11 year old were full too. Will definitely visit again-thanx very much. Blue light card accepted here too couldn’t ask for more, we will be returning for a roast soon.

Best breakfast around always amazing service the girls kat and Mel always can't do enough for us will definitely be back

Very good service from staff member bonnie , Decent breakfast quality and good price . Clean establishment. I would eat there again .

Food was good. Decent sized portions and good quality food. We were served by Kiera who was very attentive and welcoming. The face that it was joined to the premier inn makes this a very convenient stop

Great Sunday Roast. Great service by Kiera

Service and food was amazing, Kiera served us she was absolutely wonderful. Made our date amazing despite being soaked from rain 👍

Great food great staff 2 stands out is catlin always having a laugh and joke with us and always remembered our drink order and conor made up for he's mistake had a laugh and joke about it for 2 nights and the manger for video chat him and made him feel bad but all in a joke hope there they next year when we back

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. What more could you want.

Kerala was wonderful, a credit to your company.

Lovely food, great choice on menu to suite all. Server Scott was brilliant, so friendly and happy to help.

The service and food were good Josh our waiter was very polite and efficient.

As always very pleasant staff and food good.

We visited on Sunday for a nice family meal, served by Abbie and were welcomed with a smile. Very efficient and super polite. So good with our little ones. Would definitely visit again!!

Great staff and good food. Special thanks to Josh and Kiei who made us feel particularly welcome.

A very nice meal , good staff , especially Conor . Attention to detail was very good , our twins have a dairy allergy . Thank you . We will return

Really enjoyable Dinner. Good food, nice environment and great service all thanks to Kiera. Had wings for starters, steak for main and sparkling water. All of which were really nice. Many thanks

The place and service was amazing, Maciej P was very friendly and attentive during our dinner, excellent service!

Really enjoyed my evening meal here tonight. Served by Kiera who was really polite and friendly and got my order spot on. Much appreciated

Thank you Scott for being so kind!

Great place to eat, felt really cosy and food was great!

Caitlin and staff were awesome! Food was great and the atmosphere was well worth it. Come check it out!

Caitlin is awesome, as well as the tall needed gentleman. Outstanding service overall.

Food okay typical of this sort of establishment. Service and atmosphere satisfactory. Just a shame they don't have an area inside for people with dogs.

Caitlin and the tall bearded fella were excellent!

What a lovely young man who served us. Scott B brilliant and very attentive. Cannot fault an enjoyable meal with great welcoming hospitality.

Food is good,, atmosphere is good. Caitlin is the best bartender by far. She takes time to know her customers and there drinks

Service from Maciej was fabulous and the food was amazing

Typical pub grub menu but food was very good. Service from Kiera was excellent.

First time I've been here for 6 years. The carpets were absolutely filthy and the walls definitely need a fresh coat of paint. It looks very tired and grubby in the restaurant. The garlic mushrooms and chicken goujons were overcooked and rock hard. My partner ordered Gammon, chips and peas and the chips were stone cold. I ordered Lasagne with garlic bread but had to have chips as run out of garlic bread. All in all a disappointing experience. Will be a longvwhile before I go back. But I would like to say the waitress service was excellent. Those girls work really hard.

Poor cleanliness. Seats stained and disgusting, salt and pepper pits covered in food, lots of cobwebs, carpet could gave been cleaned, paintwork needs looking at. That said, the food was delicious and the service was great, as always.

Friendly atmosphere great food good service

Lovely food and friendly staff. Our server Lucy H was super friendly and polite and worked super hard to accommodate all tables, an asset to the team :)

Typical of its type but doing it well. Food was generic "pub grub" and as expected the presentation was a bit rustic but perfectly fine for the price. The service was good and staff were friendly and helpful, and even though it was a busy Friday we did not have to wait long, and the bar service was very good. The atmosphere was good and although busy it wasn't too noisy The toilets were a bit of a mess with wet floors and paper towels overflowing from the bin and the dispenser was empty. Other than that while not my 1st choice in the area it was fine and would visit again.

Good breakfast... Starts you up for the day...

The continental breakfast and dinner menu provided a good range of choice with the food being well presented and enjoyable. The service provided by wait staff Josh and Lucy M was above and beyond expectations with a happy family type chatter in the background on both busy evenings.

We decided to buy the chicken at the full price portions not the lunch 2 for offer.When the food came it was very thin small chicken and the plate with the other pieces didn't make the plate/food any bigger looking on the plate.We felt it was more like the 2 for luncheon. We did wonder what that would look like The chicken being so thin made it hard but we eat what we could.i did get more babacue sauce for it. I'm hoping this was a one off as my son says the mixed grill is great. The staff are great and several OAPs turned up for lunch and 2 for £11.99 seemed a great value option.I would try again to see if it was a one off.

Great Sunday dinner. Had Kiera as a waitress once again and service was excellent as always. Highly recommend!

A tasty pub meal with great friendly service from Roberta. Just what we needed after a long day. Recommended if you are in the area. Busy for a Tuesday night which is always a good sign.

We visit the warrener regularly Food and service is always good and good value for money

Fantastic atmosphere. I was so enjoying. And so quaet relaxing. Food was lovely but dessert send me straight to the stars!!! I would love to come back 😍😍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very good!! It was my sons birthday 🎂 and Kiera our waitress gave him a big pack of jelly babies 😁 very kind!!

Popped in after a visit to Thetford. Lovely place, my partner had the most amazing pie too. If we're passing in the future we'll definitely return

Had dinner with a friend on a Saturday afternoon. Wasn't too busy, with fast service and great food. All staff were welcoming and our server Lucy M was very helpful :)

Went for an impromptu meal out Got a table no problem or fuss Was attended to promptly and in a nice friendly manner by Lucy M Food was lovely especially the steak 😋 Even had room for pudding cheesecake yum

We visited with a group of friends and found the food quite good, beer cold. The staff were friendly and service was prompt. The toilets were the most smelly I have visited for a long time. Generally, the whole bar area and outside space was grubby.

Food was good. order desserts and after 40min I went to ask about them. They forgot. They couldn't remember what ice cream were urdered

One of the most pleasant and nice staff in this place. I come here on a regular basis. Never had any issues

Our welcome and being seated was friendly and prompt. We came looking for a meal on Sunday late afternoon which is great. Lucy M was super efficient and again friendly. We enjoyed our meals in a lovely atmosphere.

Would like to say thank you to coner who served us for refreshments today, very polite and pleasant young man thank you
