The Wellington Pub, Restaurant & Inn in King's Lynn and West Norfolk

They don't do cooked foods anymore which is disappointing, however still a great pub and people are lovely...

First time here and as a whiskey enthusiast, this place was a dream. Thanks to Chris for his amazing knowledge and recommending some unbelievablewhiskeys. Amazing night, will certainly come again!

Great pints and a lovely atmosphere, very friendly staff.

beer condition excellent and hosts very friendly and helpful. Sadly no food available.

Just a great pub. Doesn't do food

Open from 12 everyday ,unlike alot of pubs around that area. They do food but wasn't there when they were serving .

This pub was my local for many years. Chris and Chris with a friendly community and family have really turned the establishment around to a family friendly pub with food to die for! Chef is a star. I have heard from a couple drinks prices increased quite a bit but I was happy to pay as on holiday. I highly recommend you visit but fair warning. No such thing as one at the Welly :)

Named after the WW2 Wellington bomber with details of an NZ squadron with local wartime operations. Great pub, good atmosphere. If the small car park at back is full, just park in large nearby playground car park and walk back.

I love this pub.. It's a very nice place.. Very friendly staff and customers.. I have never gone in this pub and not felt ever felt welcome

Absolutely astonishing bar, excellent service from bar maid Sue 😱

First time coming here, absolutely amazing place. The lady Sue who was working was absolutely welcoming, showed us round told us about event going on. Recommended drinks and very very friendly. Also child friendly lovely little play area for children. A very wide variety of choice.

No longer does food but was good when it did........sad

What a wonderful friendly welcoming pub. A range of entertainment and great beers. Well worth a visit!

The best pub in the area and is made that way because of the family that run it. Passionate about the names sake and memorabilia fills the pub, quite an extensive collection. Most of the locals drink lager and cider, but they still provide at least 2 cask pumps for us old fashioned folk. Most friendly and welcoming landlord.

The type of pub that makes you feel right at home. Great beer variety and drinks. Lots of military history packed in all of the display cases.

Great pub that often has live entertainment.

As always a very welcoming place to visit the beer was fine the premises were wonderful and even improved from the last time I visited love the pub 1

Firstly happy 10th birthday to everyone at the Wellington, without doubt the best pub in Norfolk, great pub,great atmosphere, and the best pint of Guinness outside of Ireland, I hope they have many more year's running this pub .

Love our local pub. Always busy 🥰

Food is no longer served at the Wellington. However, they do contract food trucks to park outside of the pub on Saturday's usually. Make sure to check their Facebook page for more info!

What a gem of a place is The Wellington In Feltwell. The young man behind the bar is friendly ' nice atmosphere 'They have a lovely outside beer garden Things for children to do Live music at weekends. a lovely log fire Big wall television for sport ect. Good music. Disabled toilets 'lovely and clean. Prices are good. A lovely place to relax.👏👏,went into The Wellington today 21st Dec 2023, Just as great, lovely atmosphere, nice log fire,which I sat near, Brilliant atmosphere, 👏 lovely place to take family, they have a pool room too. Popped in The Wellington this afternoon, Lovely atmosphere as always , great friendly service as always,

Great aviation theme. No food available, but you can take your own. Lovely team running it. Will go again!

No longer serve food but always lively and happy atmosphere. Good selection of beers.

Outstanding neighborhood pub. Tha k you Chris.

We found this place purely by accident on the way back from RAF Marham on a Wednesday mid afternoon. The landlord was so welcoming and helpful, and although not doing food suggested we go to the take away a few doors down and bring the food back and eat it in the pub, cutlery and plates provided! He then gave us a very interesting potted history of the pub, which was fascinating. All in all a must to revisit! Thoroughly recommended!

Great pub good live music … nice

What a great little boozer. Lovely beers. Wingbacks by the fire. And so lovely to meet a guvnor that actually knows about his booze. Thank you so much for the impromptu lesson on rum and whiskey.

The people was extremely friendly and inviting. Had such a laugh with them all. Was a really good night. Played lots of pool and they have darts. My partner was so excited over the urinals came out with a picture on his phone 😂 lovely pub. If you have a bad date there's plenty to read and lots of pictures to look at. Looks like a tiny pub from the outside but it's quite big, love the beer garden too. Will definitely be visiting again. Thank you for making us feel welcome. It was in the evening when we went so we didn't have the food. My god it smelt lovely when someone did order food. Can't wait to visit again and try the food out.

Had a great night, pub had a good atmosphere. Staff friendly and helpful. Pity they don't do food anymore, but well worth a visit great pub.

Brilliant place, great staff. This isn’t a knock but they don’t do food any longer as their kitchen is closed. (Which is why I’ve put comments as below). This doesn’t stop it from being a great pub to go to. Great selection of all beverages. Fantasticly stocked“themed” events i.e. cider fest, ginboree, beer fest etc. The karaoke nights are brilliant along with the selections of music they have booked every month. Definitely the place to go.

Great food, great beer, fantastic landlord and very accommodating. Highly recommend! We cannot speak more highly of our experience.

I'd been to the Wellington before and had been impressed; usually the food is very good, but for sunday roast it is to be AVOIDED. The meat was very overcooked, especially the beef; extremely tough. The giant yorkshire puddings were store-bought and hard as a rock. Potatoes were cooked well but entirely unseasoned.All in all it very much reminded me of the roast you get in a hospital.For a place that normally has good food it was shocking. I could cook a better roast with my eyes shut.

Wow! We celebrated my 60th birthday here with a family lunch and Chris (landlord) could not have been more friendly and helpful, especially with the little people. Chocolate ice cream with sprinkles? No problem! The food was wonderful - just couldn't eat all the fish, even though it was delicious - and the deserts didn't disappoint either! If we lived locally we would be here on a regular basis, but will definitely visit again. Thank you.

I was looking forward to visiting this pub having just moved into the area. I walked in with my disability dog who was clearly coated as such when a gentleman stepped in front of me & said very brusquely “oi no dogs in here”. I explained he was my service dog, to which the person shrugged his shoulders & said “so what”. I said they would be very discriminatory not to allow me in. The man then turned to the bar manager & said “no dogs in here - have a word”. At this point I turned and left feeling quite humiliated as the pub was very busy. It’s a shame as from a military family had looked forward to seeing the place. I shall be sure to tell my military colleagues not to bother. Disgusting attitude.

It was late lunchtime (1.45pm today), when we arrived at The Wellington hidden away in Feltwell a mid West Norfolk village. In truth perhaps arriving late on a mid-week day our expectations might have been rather low. However everything about this popular pub/restaurant is a little bit exceptional. Firstly the establishment is a shrine to the Wellington WW2 Bomber Plane - I don't expect you would find more memorabilia anywhere else outside the Imperial War Museum! That said there is a really comfortable bar and a separate restaurant which is very much upmarket 'officers mess' perhaps a little old fashioned but impeccably furnished and like the rest of the establishment incredibly clean and well presented. So interesting, comfortable, welcoming, made us fell welcome,How about the food?They have a really good menu with basics you would expect from a pub, sandwiches, burgers, ham eggs and chips, sausage and mash, etc, to more adventurous daily specials. This makes it sound ordinary but the care, quality ingredients,and execution of these basic dishes set the Wellington well above its pub-grub competition. In some respects very Tom Kerridge! I had an excellent Steak and Kidney Suet Pudding, perfectly done really tasty filling outstanding in fact, (choice of veg and gravy on the side)My wife ate every scrap of her Smoked Haddock Fillet with Horseradish Mash on a bed of Spinach, topped with a poached egg and Hollandaise Sauce - she is quite a fussy eater and again I have to repeat that word it was excellent. Well done Wellington! Keep up the good work. Thank you.

The staff are all friendly and go out of their way to make your visit Food is extremely good fresh and you can tell they use local a butchers and veg man very tasty The decor is well done not to much do it looks cluttered but enough to keep you interested if you like Loads of beers on tap and good about of choice Would highly recommended

We happened upon this venue on TripAdvisor as we were down in Thetford from West Yorkshire for our granddaughter’s birthday. Such a hidden gem. I did phone ahead to book but it wasn’t necessary. Such a friendly welcome from the owners and locals, the food and beer was great, interspersed with information about the area famed for the RAF connection from the hosts. Great value for money, a huge menu to choose from and such a friendly welcome. I agree with the comments about the deco, it could do with an update, but otherwise perfect.

Good enough food. Nice Brie tart and fish and chips. Decor was quite outdated and not to our taste. Was sort of like having dinner in your nans living room. Really friendly staff who gave us information about the area and what to do during our stay. Good value to money.

Popped in today for an hours wait as had a puncture being sorted by the local garage. BLT was amazing, stall were super friendly and a great price 5 stars. Toilet theme was a great idea!!!

Me and my family along with a couple of friends visited for lunch following good reviews on TripAdvisor....We were not disappointed. Starters were all very reasonably priced and yummy. Main meals were a decent size, everyone in enjoyed their food. Dessert was good but we did think they were quite small for the £6 we paid, however, that was the only negative. Pool room next door was a great place for the children to play while waiting for food. We would return.

We have had our staff Christmas dinner at The Wellington multiple years and they make it so easy to book and organize a large group event. The menu options, planning, decoration, and service are all excellent! I highly recommend for large group events and Christmas parties!

Sunday lunch, with a good choice of options, was both delicious and reasonably priced. A separate dining room to the bar. Very attentive and friendly staff. Good experience. Deserves patronage. We will return!

My boyfriend and I are staying in the area as we are working in raf lakenheath, we decided to go out for dinner and was not disappointed!

The Wellington is a favourite for a family dinner out with friends. For our dinner today our children were planning their meal selections at breakfast. The service is always friendly and humour-filled. We can not recommend enough. Have never had a bad meal there.

We went twice whilst staying in Feltwell. Sunday lunch was delicious and dinner on Friday night equally good. Local beers on tap and friendly and welcoming staff. Loved it here!

We were a family gathering of eight. Unfortunately, two people were running about 10 minutes late, and we then had to hang around to be seated with a choice of a very cramped, busy bar or (as we chose) the room with the pool table. The menu is varied and suits meat, fish and veggie/vegan eaters. There is a separate vegan menu. The waiter, Christopher, was very chatty and informative at first, but later became over-familiar and kept butting into our conversations. His enthusiasm for good service needs to be tamed. Our family get together was for us (we hadn't all seen each other for a long time). Everyone enjoyed the food.

went here for Sunday lunch this weekend and can't recommend it enough for the value for money .we had two courses for 12.50 with a nice choice of roasts and lovely dessert two of which we ordered are amongst the best I have tasted in a pub/restaurant bakewell tart creme brulee and passion fruit cheese cake which were fantastic my wife's was nice but ordered a fruit tartlet which was more of a crumble still good .When we visit the area again will make a bee line to here again really friendly and welcoming staff recommended

My wife and I live in Norwich and we needed a convenient venue to meet some friends staying at Centre Parcs at Elveden. We consulted good old Google and found ‘The Wellington’ and it sounded ideal. I am very pleased to say that we were not disappointed, the pub was brilliant, lovely and clean and well looked after and packed with memorabilia relating to it’s namesake the great WW2 bomber. There was a choice of two good real ales on offer in the bar which were well looked after.

This place is great for the history of the Wellington bombers but also for incredible food. For a fancy meal with friends this is the place to go!

Enjoyed Sunday Lunch at The Wellington last Sunday, where Chris and Chris were perfect hosts. The food was of excellent quality, and the price very reasonable. Ales were beautifully kept, service was prompt. We'll be back!

Great pub. We went for food which was great but lovely to see the bar and games room busy as well. Delicious main courses, good choices from grownups and children, friendly service. Would go again.

Have been meaning to try the Wellington for some time,so two of us had lunch yesterday.We were the only ones eating and were very well looked after by a very nice and efficient young lady.The menu is very extensive and has some different items that you would not normally find in similar establisments.We both chose the fish and chips which was excellent in all respects.The batter was really first class very light and tasty,and the fish was firm and flaky.We had no room for a desert,but will try and leave enough room the next time we visit.

On a short break from Cornwall, we found this pub on the internet. The choice of ales is always changing and a right balance of light and darker ales which are very well kept indeed. The food was excellent and the service from the restaurant staff was exceptional. We appreciated the landlord's (Chris) warm welcome and kind words. If you are within range of this pub, don't miss it. This pub is everything a great pub should be and, from what we saw, a thriving community hub too. Alas, few pubs in Britain come anywhere near the high standards encountered here. With best wishes. Corinne and Lionel.

10 of us cyclists popped in here hoping for lunch on a hot day in June. Initially Chris (the manager?) told us that since we were a large group and they had a booking for another group lunch arriving at that moment, the one chef would only be able to provide us sandwiches.

Really great experience at the Wellington. Warm welcome great atmosphere and friendly locals. The food was superb and very reasonably priced. Will definitely return, advise booking so you don’t miss out!

Great place to eat, brilliant local family pub, good choice of food from the new summer menu, as per usual I love desserts and the Bakewell crème brulea is outstanding, the staff are attentive, the restaurant is very clean, warm and inviting, everyone was commenting on how amazing the food was, great portion sizes, you never feel rushed and everyone makes you feel very welcome.

I visited twice in March, once with colleagues and once with my parents. it was excellent both times. The food was brilliant and the service was exemplary. Make sure that you book if you are planning to go as it is very popular!

The Wellington at Feltwell appears from the outside to be a good high street pub, and it must indeed be a pleasant local, with a welcoming atmosphere. There is a car park and street parking if you’re lucky. In terms of food, its servings are a cut above standard pub fodder. The menu has some unusual items, and the food is very well prepared. The owner/manager, Chris, is very knowledgable and friendly. There is a separate dining room. Service is good - timely but not over-attentive.

My wife and I took both our parents for a meal here which was a first visit for there us all. Lovely welcome and very attentive staff throughout the meal. Main meals and sweets were lovely and everyone left happy. The owner gave all mothers lovely potted flowers which were greatly appreciated and a nice touch. Sunday special menu was very good value. Will be back again for sure.

The service is excellent. Friendly knowledgeable staff. The food is very good and served on time. If running late or busy they are very candid about how long the food will take to arrive.

Good front of house welcome. Food was good quality, and well presented . A good menu with plenty of choice. Staff attentive throughout our visit. Very good value for money. Our first but not last visit.

Very friendly welcome, good choice of food and drinks. Very efficient service, food well cooked and presented and good value. Our first visit but hopefully we shall return before too long.

Arrived before food stopped but refused to serve us a sandwich, despite others getting there’s! Not polite either!

We always enjoy our visits to the Wellington a lovely pub in a lovely village. The food is excellent with a good choice on the menu as well as interesting beers and wines. On this occasion we had a two course Sunday lunch for £12 a head. The beef was cooked to perfection and served with wonderful Yorkshire puddings and fresh vegetables; the Cointreau creme Brulee was outstanding! We highly recommend a visit to the Wellington and advise booking first; it is very popular and understandably so given the quality of food served.

We came here twice last November. Both times the food was on point and the service was great as well! Friendly staff and quaint little eating area with lots of history and artifacts to view! Definitely recommend and will definitely return!

We received a lovely warm and friendly welcome. Everyone's menu choices were delicious, especially the brownie sundae. The pub and restaurant provided a comfortable environment for our meal. It was wonderful to hear the story about the name of the pub and the recipe for the beer. I just wished we lived nearer so we could visit more often.

What a pleasant surprise awaited us at The Wellington. Delicious food and great attention to detail. The atmosphere was so friendly and inviting and the whole pub centred around the Wellington plane, which added an original and great feel to the place.

Stumbled across this pub when looking for somewhere nice to eat near Thetford and so glad I did!

The lady who worked behind the bar was very polite and amazing at customer service I would fully advise going here

Our first visit to an English Pub and we were not disappointed! The owners were friendly and helpful in suggesting beverages (many options!) and explaining lunch selections. We were seated in a lovely dining room. The decor was covered with interesting historical military stories (i.e. the Vickers Wellington bomber). The menu was perfect for everyone. Each dish is prepared individually for each guest. We ordered the chicken, bacon and chedder panini and the Brie with cranberry panini -- both were excellent. Fresh greens and cold slaw on the side were very tasty. Best onion rings we've had in a long time. The pheasant dish was a hit. Great dessert options. Creme brulee was outstanding!! The chef's presentation was impressive. ALSO a great local pub to stop in on a chilly afternoon for a cappuccino!!

We chose this place for its TripAdvisor reports and we should have really studied or closely on how to find it from the a11. Driving through the village of Lakenheath would have been rather more successful than using the A road to the east and hoping there would be a road sign to feltwell. There isn't so we had to dig out the road atlas and go round quite a few country lanes to get there. Even my brother and his satnav had difficulties.

A typical Norfolk pub set in the countryside. My food was okay although the chicken in the burger was quite tough. I left feeling like I had spent a generous amount of money for not much enjoyment.

We recently had a group (25 strong) outing to The Wellington. My previous visits had been with smaller numbers, but The Wellington dealt with us efficiently, courteously...and the food was good too. Considering they had another group there, that evening, it was impressive.

We had a wonderful meal today nice touch complementary homemade bread and dips. Then after sitting next to the lovely fire in the pub we went to the Restaurant and we started with Brioche with toasted Brie and red onion delicious then my husband had a New York Burger chips and salad I had Scampi chips and salad, beautifully cooked and presented. Jenessa was a lovely waitress and friendly place to eat.

Visited with friends for Sunday lunch Great old fashioned pub atmosphere, with a mix of un up-to-date and original fixtures and fittings with fantastic memorabilia around the walls etc, loved the Wellington coat hooks. A cosy feel as soon as we walked in, comfy chesterfield seating as well as usual pub seating and stools round bar. Staff very friendly and polite, made us feel welcome straight away. Food delicious and served hot, we all had the Sunday roast meal deal, two courses for£12. We chose pork, beef and chicken and were asked what sauces we needed to go with them. Deserts were amazing, cheesecake, sticky toffee pudding and sorbet. Generous portions, but not so large you couldn't clear your plate. Sat in bar for coffee afterwards and the locals were very friendly and spoke to us straight away. Would happily recommend and will visit again.

The food was beautiful, the staff helpful but not intrusive, and the venue very nice, if rather confusing! The building seemed to be a series of annexes from what I could see.

Came here for an early Christmas family meal, never been here before but definitely will again

Met up with friends for dinner. The pub/bar was very busy (live band setting up) so we had to squeeze through to get to the restaurant/bar, which is a bland room with little atmosphere - although it looked as though this would improve in the summer with the doors open.

We chose this venue as a good central point to meet up with friends from Norfolk Suffolk and Essex. It did not disappoint. The menu was extensive with gluten free options to suit one of our party. The food was delicious. The friendliness of the staff was second to none and we stayed at our table for around three hours. We will return for our next reunion.

Had a first class meal here while visiting Feltwell, a bit confusing when you arrive but a good experience once all sorted. Well worth visiting.

This is a lovely pub restaurant recently refurbished to a high standard but still comfortable and cosy. The staff were very obliging and friendly . Sunday lunch was very good with a choice from three meats and a deal for roast and dessert for £12 very reasonable . Would definitely visit again .

Just had a Ladies Lunch with friends what a wonderful place very welcoming and very friendly from all the staff! Food was outstanding really delicious would certainly recommend this restaurant to all my friends we will certainly be eating here again.

Menu fatigue I hear you cry, well not at the Wellington my local pub and restaurant. Apart from the lovely attentive service that you get from Chris (tall Chris), Chris (tall but not as tall) and Chris (mum, the one wearing beautiful clothes, makeup and some snappy clothes and jewellery) you have embarked on what will be an enjoyable experience.

Visited for a family meal, and as always food great tasty, hot, and presented well. Staff welcoming and efficient nothing is to much trouble. Will be visiting again soon

We visited the Feltwell wellington today after our visit to Undley pumpkin patch with the children. I had read excellent reviews so booked a table based on these.

Was in the area and though a little late for lunch I decided to phoned, the person answering was friendly and welcoming and said that there would be a table but a little later on in the day, so decided it was ok.

The headline of my review says it all.

We went to The Wellington for meals on two consecutive evenings during our recent stay in Feltwell and were veray happy with the quality, choice and cost of food and drinks. All staff were extremely friendly and efficient. When we mentioned to one of the owners that we weren’t sure what we could do the following day he went to the trouble of giving us ideas of places of interest and some brochures. What a pity we live so far away as we’d love a local pub like it.

We visited this pub for a hearty lunch and was not disappointed! Fabulous and friendly service by big Chris, a jolly helpful chap. And the food was absolutely spot on. The steak and ale pie with thick cut chips was simply divine. Our dutch friend really enjoyed her proper pub grub and my sister loved her vegetarian burger.

Called in on the offchance of getting a table and lucky for us there was a 'no show (they made a BIG mistake!). Staff were very friendly and the food delicious- I had the sea bass which was cooked perfectly and my other half had the steak pie which he thoroughly enjoyed. The brownie is to die for! Highly recommend the Wellington and we will definitely be returning making sure we book ahead. Very quirky decor with lots of interesting Wellington aeroplane memorabilia.

Many pubs and restaurants call themselves family friendly, but most do not deliver. The Wellington goes out of its way to be family friendly. There is a box of toys outside and a couple of boxes indoors. Our boisterous two year old son was amused with an array of small toys he could quietly (more or less) play with whilst waiting for the food to arrive. I am sure other diners appreciated this touch without realising it! We also appreciated a high chair that attached itself to a dining room chair. It makes children feel more grown up. It also saves on space.

Visited here as a couple on rare night out free from children. The welcome was warm and we were made to feel welcome. Ordered duck, fillet steak and a bottle of wine.

We went here to celebrate our wedding anniversary last night. I am unfortunately gluten intolerant but this pub has a very good gluten free menu. I had sea bass and it was gorgeous! My husband enjoyed a steak and my cousin had a scrummy pie. We all cleaned our plates! The wine was reasonably priced and really rather good. The ambiance at The Wellington is lovely. We had such a good night and will be returning soon. Thoroughly recommend!

We booked for twelve of us to have dinner at the Wellington on Saturday evening for my birthday. What a lovely night.

Not initially what we expected when we turned up - it is a small restaurant that is part of a village pub. Nothing too fancy.

We recently went here on reading good trip advisor reviews and we were not disappointed.

We visited the pub for a family birthday the staff were amazing and couldn’t do enough for us. We had a toddler with us who was treated very well and made welcome and was given extra strawberries. I would recommend this place for food. The Mediterranean vegetable spaghetti was really good

This is set a very quite village the young staff are courteous and helpful, the restaurant is well presented and very clean. The Sunday roast however is very ordinary, it’s not meat from a joint it’s from a mass produced pack, there is a good selection of vegetables and condiments. I’ve had much better and much worse it’s our second visit here visiting family. Would I visit again probably but I’d also try another venue if there was indeed another option but there isn’t. It’s competitively priced and it’s wholesome pub food but it’s not exceptionall.

We had a group of 18, we pre-ordered. Food was great, all came out hot and in good time. Staff were so friendly and professional. Lovely pub.

Thank you so so much for holding our recent wedding reception. The service was just amazing. We had no worries at all; everything was set up for us. The food (2 course meal) was just amazing, had so many comments from our guests about the delicious roast, amazing stuffing balls & the yummy chocolate cheesecake! Thank you for such great hospitality on the most important day of our lives. Richard & Jessica :)
