The Wildfowler in King's Lynn and West Norfolk

Went with a group of 7 and a dog, pub was busy. Great service from the landlord and landlady, very welcoming and chatty. We had the 2 for £20 burger meals which were great especially the stacker.

What a fantastic meal and service, I would recommend to all of my friends and family, we booked 11 people in had a carvery which was amazing, the children had a great time playing in the garden too 😀

Four of us had a carvery here today for lunch. The food was lovely, with a very friendly service. Give it a go 😁

Went for dinner today and it was absolutely amazing. I would definitely recommend the wildfowling. Great food good prices.

A very unexpected surprise for a Sunday lunch. Nice people and a smart pub. I sat to read the menu and thought, mmmmm has a nice spin on a few things. I just hoped that the food would be good. It was fantastic. Several vegetables with a hint of different flavours. Very subtle and delicately done. I eat everything. But my other half not! Cabbage no. Yet he ate it. Celeriac no he ate that too. Horseradish purée! Cauliflower cheese! He ate the lot. Beef was beautiful and tasty. From Priors so no surprise there, cooked perfectly. Fresh Yorkshire pudding. This was all served beautifully. We didn’t have desert as we had no room. But we saw the presentation. Please give this place a visit! 5 ⭐️

Booked a table here for Norfolk Restaurant Week & enjoyed a three course meal. All dishes were delicious (celeriac soup, the chicken, the pork and apple cinnamon tart) & we left feeling full. We were impressed with the serving sizes and the amount of vegetables served. The service was also really appreciated as the staff were welcoming and friendly.

We have been coming here since new owners Robbie and Anita took over, and each time we have had a meal it has been good quality food each time, it is a good place to go for a good pub lunch and a drink in the beer garden in the lovely sunshine. Best Sunday roast we have had. Staff are always happy to help and serve with a smile:

Stopped with family to have a Sunday roast, the pub has been done up and looks much improved but the food has to be some of the worst I’ve eaten. We all had different meats from the choice of turkey, beef, or pork, visually you could tell the difference and it had no taste at all. Very disappointed

Heaped plate of meat swamped in gravy most off putting meal ever seen.Luke warm dried up vegetables will avoid this place staff were friendly and helpful but food was so poor almost hardly edible

Myself and fiancé went on Sunday for the Sunday roast and we were impressed by the new look and food. We had a starter which was a nice size for two people and well presented. For the main we had the all meat roast dinner which came as a large portion but it did not compromise on quality at all. The staff were friendly and helpful and we will be looking to go back again soon to try the rest of the menu.

Great service, amazing Sunday lunch.. Deserts to die for! Staff friendly and accommodating. Clean and lovely decor. Keep up the good work!!

We stopped her for lunch to break up the journey to Thursford. The pub was full of tradesman when were entered, I’m not critical of tradesman (my husbands one) but it’s clearly a place to stop for a pint after work/ at lunch. We all had lunch, a mixture of sandwiches, burgers, toasties. The food was okay, I wouldn’t rush back, just average pub grub. The place desperately needs a refurb, dry shabby and tired. The toilets were freezing, not ideal when you’ve got a nappy to change!

Stopped for lunch very disapointed with the standard of food Scampi only 6 pices and under cooked chips, pie and mash very small portion of pie childs size, lumpy mash all over the plate and hard peas smothered in gravy not nice, and horrible tea, will not be going back

We stopped off at the Wildfowler for Sunday Carvery with our family. The pubs decor look very traditional do not expect a fancy restaurant, but it was clean and tidy. We had a very warm welcome and the food was excellent at a very good price. They do a child's size portion. The adult potion size was generous and very nice vegetables too. There was a small play area for the children, swings and slide this could do with an update as it was look old we some parts broken. A nice clean and tidy pub. I would recommend this pub.

Average pub, average prices. Meals served most days. Beer garden. Live music. Pool and darts available. Child friendly with play area.

So i rang on Saturday the 13th July to book in for a roast lunch for my family of 7. I spoke to a man who gave me the prices, took my booking for 12.30, took my name. So Sunday is here my family of 7 are getting ready for lunch, looking forward to it. We arrive to be told we had rang a different place to book, so while we was there we phoned the other place and they said they they dont serve food we could tell somthing wasnt right i asked for there card,well hang on i rang the same number off there card....i then get told i didn't ring them at all. A few minutes later we relise the chap who we spike to is the owner amd the landlady goes and speaks to him again about the booking suddenly they offer us 7 free carvery for next weekend but why if they didn't take the booking???? We got turned away as didn't have enough food for us at 12.30. We get home disappointed to check my phone call log to see it was them that i rang and booked the table with. My partner then rang them back the land lady answered he said he had checked the call log and it was this number land lady was very rude and reading previous comments this is a regular occurrence so after many excuses she proceeds to tell me it was a customer that answered the phone and took a booking ok so a customer went behind the bar and answered the phone took a booking on a Saturday afternoon what a joke then went on to say my partner must have just asked for prices she was very cocky in regards of she didn't need our business in her words her clientell keep her till toped up my partner runs a successful business and is not shocked by the fact someone forgetting to put a name in the book but the out right not taking responsibility turning away 5 children and two adults and the landlords rudeness smugness is a embarrasment to any family that is just going out together no people skills and not once and honestly not once did they knowledge there mistake or even utter the words sorry and they will say they offered us a free carvery FOR NEXT TIME like i would come back I will leave it with this My partner asked her if she is happy with what has transpired today she said no because she didn't wake up this morning to turn away 7 heads for food because business at the moment ain't to great well i wonder why i wouldnt recommend this place to my ex and her dog Stay away

Come here for a Sunday carvery and the food was great, very fairly priced to compared to other places locally The owners are lovely too and very friendly Definitely worth a visit!

This place is run by a very friendly couple and the food we had was of exceptional quality. thoroughly enjoyed and surprised us both. Highly Recommended

Wouldn’t be the wildfowler without Simon and Tracy, good food and good drink! Couldn’t fault it and wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Booked a private party The female who I'm guessing is landlady is just so rude! Moaned saying she only lets the room for 30 people but was more than happy to take £200 for 20 people. £10 a head for state food. Decided to shout at the person celebrating their birthday on many occasions - for walking into the room,for not knowing the ingredients to the cake! Moaned at myself for going to the bar twice! Had another shouting session at people in the group asking if she's cooking because the food was stale they wanted food! Had to ask 4 times before she got up. She hates money I think. Walked into the party to start cleaning people's tables without even asking. But then a landlady wearing a tracksuit & slippers what do you expect. The landlord was pleasant luckily. But for future reference if you read this don't moan because people are buying drinks that is keeping your pub open you need customers! Please start dressing presentable your trying to run a business. Oh and learn some manners you are rude & acted so unprofessional.

Lovely steak nice warm pub will return for Sunday carvery nice garden out the front to for the children to play

We had our engagement party here - it was lovely and the food spread was 10/10. The carvery and steak night is also amazing. Good quality food x

Decided to go here for some drinks and won't be again.

Had a lovely lunch today.The food and service was excellent we would certainly recommend and will call again when we are in the area next time x

Had a Sunday carvery which was top notch tasted and looked lovely had a good selection of meats, service was great as like all the other times I’ve popped into this pub. Locals were a good laugh and easy to chat to all in all I felt very welcome and well looked after would recommend this pub to anyone!

Always feel welcomed coming here by the staff and locals, there’s plenty of places to relax with a drink and watch the football or racing etc.

I chose to ignore the bad reviews and now wish that I had listened to all of the bad reviews, because they were all true!

Been there a few times lovely food and great staff. Desserts are amazing a reasonably priced and the atmosphere is always nice.

Such a lovely pub and children are always welcome the garden had a lovely play area to keep the kids busy and the owners are very welcoming and lovely and the food is very tasty and changes with the seasons

In this day and age what business owners/managers of a food establishment go holiday in the school holidays with NO kitchen staff to cover them.... Businesses that wish to fail and that is what wildfowler want to do. We were visiting a family member in hospital & needed somewhere close to the hospital to get her out to for some respite. After a walk from the hospital to the pub we were told the chef was on holiday & kitchen would reopen on Thursday. We pointed out that the board outside the pub advertised Sunday roast & perhaps they should remove it. To give our relative a change of scene before we walked back to the hospital, we decided to buy a drink. BIG mistake. Extortionate prices for 6 drinks & £1 for a normal sized packet of smiths chip sticks!!!! £1, they weren't even kettle crisps. Filthy table, my husband asked for a cloth that was bone dry & ended uo in the gents wetting the cloth in the basin. Filthy, rubbish strewn & very neglected garden. If it hadn't beem for the fact we had pushed a wheelchair user 20 minites in the hope of Sunday lunch outside of the hospital after a 3 week stay we would habe left The Wild Fower' like everyone else who was looking for lunch. I would be surprised if the chef has a job to come back too. Utter, utter shambles. Perhaps removing the sign advertising food or a notice over the food advertising? i was brought up in a pub so if you would like any advice on how not to ruin your business please ask....

Went here with my boyfriend for lunch. The food looked great but on eating it it was absolutely awful as it lacked taste and was soggy! We both later that afternoon realised we had had food poisoning!!! DO NOT GO HERE!!!!

Second visit here for Sunday lunch, other members of family have been a few more times, have to say the Sunday lunch is excellent, the beef was cooked to perfection, melting in the mouth, will definitely be returning, the owners are really turning this pub around, well worth a visit ,

Came in for lunch with a couple of clients . Very impressed as were they with the interior, food and service. Highly recommend

We had a really good lunch here. Whitebates, delicious tender lamb and sticky toffee pud. All very well presented and very tasty . plenty of parking, good choice of beers and good service.

Found you on facebook and just had to visit ! Amazing hospitality ! Food was delicious. Already planning my next visit . Steak next time !!

Can recommend this pub. We arrived quite late but we're given excellent service and helped with special menu options. Food was generous and well cooked and reasonable price. Staff very welcoming.

Momento de decisión para de improviso la comida ya que pasamos la puerta.

100% perfect excellent value . 2 Steaks meals bottle of wine £15.00. Great friendly atmosphere certainly will return if they will have us lol.

Have been a few times now for the Wednesday steak night. Everyone has been friendly and welcoming; fab value for money too. Overall, cannot complain at all.

We are on holiday here and saw this place. We had steak and it was great. Friendly staff and very attentive

Went here after a friend had their baby christened, very polite staff and very helpful. It also has a lot of room out the front if the weather is nice and a nice area for children to play.

Fuimos con niños para el asado los domingos. A £7. 95 Esta es una muy buena relación calidad-precio. Había una variedad de cordero, ternera y sobresaliente. La porción de carne era bastante pequeña, pero dado el precio buena relación calidad-precio aún representados. El cordero era tan sabrosa y húmeda que el tamaño de la porción era descartada por su una delicia casera! Las patatas asadas eran fabulosos, como la salsa.

Food was lovely and hot, beef melted in your mouth. Bar staff very helpful and friendly, will recommend and return!

Tried their best but bulk food is not good food. Felt uncomfortable and out of place with educationally challenged locals. But need to say landlady lovely.

Amazing steak evening very impressed will definitely visit again. The quality of food was excellent. The service was friendly and attentive

Went here for a 30th birthday meal on the 12th march and I can't recommend it enough so helpful was a party of 17 with some people having dietary needs.everyone that came could not stop talking about how nice it was and that they would return.Thankyou Tracy and staff for all your help with planing and for today was a loverly carvary

Had my Dads Wake here today and I must say that I was shock on how we were treat by the barmaid! We booked this place and we were the only party in today, with drink being brought via the bar, we paid for a finger Buffett and Teas and Coffees, but we run out of cups and when we asked for more cups we were told that we couldn't have any more cup as they were not paid for! What a joke! We paid for all the food and hot drinks and to get told we couldn't have anymore cups despite having lots of tea, coffee, milk and hot water left! For those of us who were driving and drinking alcohol this is not the way to run a business. Then to top it off the party sausage rolls still had raw pastry and could not be eaten. If this is how you treat customer who service your bar then you will not be in business much longer, we were thinking about coming back for a meal but we will forget that idea and find somewhere else for our party of 30 to go

Popped in with 4 friends had lunch was superb will be back for steak nights 2 steaks bottle of wine for 15 pound all had burgers very juicy and big portions will defo be back good value for money

We go here all the time and love it! The landlord and landlady are lovely and the food is great. Really nice carvery on a Sunday and on the regular menu the steaks are particularly yummy. Lovely big garden for the summer and a great place to watch the football!

Having eaten the home cooked carvery on a Sunday and lunch time meals during the week at the Wildfowler I find it a refreshing change from the pubs who serve reheated ready made food. The food is so delicious and the hosts are very welcoming.

Me and my partner went here to try out the menu as drive past often and always wondered what it was like. Externally it's presented very well and inside too, but you can tell it's designed for families with lots of kids toys/gadgets such as sweet grabber and slush puppies. Menu was okay, we had burgers which were average but for £8 were like the burgers you get from a burger van. Served with a salad and chips. With drinks too, came to about £20 which I think is too much. The staff were nice though.

Wasn't very good last time we visited as it was virtually empty and had substandard food, though the staff were quite friendly so to support the new management we thought we would try again. This time it was closed, perhaps a blessing in disguise. If you want to do business you need to be open!

A lovley pub in a great locationt. Down side is poor service, poor food and poor staff. Should be one of the best places to go in Gaywood.. Sorry guys you neeed to get you act togeather!

We visited on a Saturday Excellent food, good service recommend to all family's and friends good service from staff

Really liked the place, owners are friendly, Sky sports which is always a bonus. The place felt like a proper pub. Not a crappy main stream, overpriced, franchised owned soulless bar,Would recommend to anyonep.s. Lovely pizzas. carvery looked good too.

Went to pub for sunday carvery about 6 weeks ago food was superb have been back 3 times since sky sports was on and we ate in restuarant food was hot fresh and friendly staff i would recomend it i booked for a staff do

thought I would just share what a fantastic place this is to visit. warming hospitality, fantastic service. Food is great, and an all round great atmosphere. looking forward to our next visit.

We visited Sunday lunchtime for a carvery lunch. The ambience was good, staff excellent and the food looked great - I had roast lamb & the others beef. The plates were cold and, although the meat was carved from a hot joint, it and the vegetables were cold in minutes. TV coverage of the Italian GP was excellent but how sad to have to eat cold food.

Summery: avoid When we arrived there were a few people at the bar and we waited our turn as we were waiting a load of men who seemed to be regulars to the pub as they were talking to everyone walked in front of us. The staff had seen us come in before them but still served these first anyway.We thought we were in luck when we saw the cavery area was empty. But the reason it was empty was because the food was just awful.First there was just the choice between two meats, beef and gammon. The gammon was so salty it was inedible and likewise for the beef which was so chewy I actually couldn't swallow it. We were then handed plates so hot the napkins weren't enough and we had to put them down. There were three veg all hard, some roasties that were raw in the middle but some how burnt on the outside. Yorkshire puddings that resembled the small frozen tesco value ones. No way we're they fresh never mind high quality frozen ones. The stuffing was drive and hard. The gravy was water with food colouring in it at a guess as it was so thin and weak it had no taste or stature.The whole thing was left on my plate and I went home to eat a pot noodle as the meal was £8 each not including the drinks. We weren't thanked for our custom, we weren't asked if we enjoyed the meal as we paid afterward the staff said nothing to us at all and we left. We live down the street and won't be returning not even for drinks. I'm all about supporting local businesses but the place was just dire! Don't waste your Sunday or your money!

Went here for the after party of my neices christerning.. my bro in law and his partner oaid £100 for a few plates of literally what seemd like tesco value food!!. Unnder cooked sausage rolls food was awful! And now my poor 1year old son has an upse5 tummy becus of thete descrace! Vile place.. AVOID.

Service from the bar was lovly friendly polite nd helpfull yet paid 100 pound for a party type buffet yet there was two plate of sarnies which were quite dry two plates of biscuts and a plate of sasauge rolls i expected alot more when paying that much when thought about totaling it up if i did that home it would only cost about fifteen quid if that processed ham un sarnies which doesnt cost alot cook from frozen sausage roll which are a quid in iceland and two pack of chiped cookies and disectives doesnt cost alot either if it wasny for my cake that other people made for me it would hav ruined my day and to be honest i wish i hafnt picked this pub as i feel out of pocket and let down as i was riped off will not be having my nxt one there

We tried out The Wildfowler as a possible place to meet a couple of friends later in the month. There's a lot of space in the pub so you don't feel crowded. The menu is limited but there were a couple of dishes that we felt suited our tastes and dietary requirements - coeliac and dairy free. The food was served quickly and the portions were generous. A plus point on the salad that came with the chargrilled chicken was that it was free from peppers and onions. There was also plenty of it and no sign of iceberg lettuce. We didn't try the coffee although we wished we had as the smell of it as we were leaving was quite appetising. At £20 for two mains and two mineral waters, we didn't think it was bad value. There's nothing fancy about the place but for a reasonably priced bit of lunch it's worth a visit.

The new owners of the Wildfowler in King's Lynn don't seem to be blessed with the social graces of running a pub, I visited recently with my wife, and she asked the rather disinterested man behind the bar advise on a wine... his reply was "I don't know, I don't drink the stuff!" (yeah, very helpful!). During the New Year's Eve Party the buffet was brilliant and the disco was epic, just a pity our friend behind the bar was having trouble adding up! oh... and did you know, you can get a "Jägerbomb" without the "Bomb"? You can at the Wildfowler!!!In conclusion: The location is great, the carvery is great, the service sucks! We'll be waiting for a change of management before we return!!!

West of Kings Lynn in a village easily accessible from the main road from Kings Lynn. We couldn't believe we were the only ones eating on a Saturday night as the food was excellent. The braised beef was so tender and the salmon was cooked to perfection. The food was a cut above the normal pub fare, with some interesting combinations on the menu. Decent sized portions meant that we were unable to fit in dessert, but we left very contented. The staff were very courteous and attentive.It is a busy pub come 9 o'clock so I would advise eating earlier, but would definitely eat there again!

A lovely pub serving good food and real ale. Really nice staff and nice atmosphere. Give it a try. Also great if you are visiting the local hospital as it is close by.

After reading in the local paper that there was now new owners, I thought it would be worth trying it again. Myself and my two children (11 and 13) popped in a a Friday early evening. The place is well decorated and has plenty of tables so looked nice. The customers in there were mainly scattered around the bar area so had the feeling of a drinkers pub as well as a food pub. After ordering drinks and food we sat down and noticed nobody else eating.The food arrived in good time. I had steak pie and vegetables, the vegetables were dry, the crust on the pie was dry but soggy in the centre and the gravy had a thick skin and I'm guessing been heated through in the microwave. My son had ham, egg and chips, the ham was cheap packet ham. My daughter had a child's meal of hot dog, chips and beans served on a small plastic plate, the hot bun was served with it sitting in the beans so couldn't be picked up and was soggy. It looked like an under fives type meal… my daughter looked a bit embarrassed when it was served to her like this!We were all disappointed and it's a shame the food was this bad as there aren't many places in the evening in kings Lynn where you can go with your children off a meal. They are missing a big potential here, so the food needs to be much better! Sorry, but won't be back.

We ordered a buffet for 50 here and it was amazing. The ham was proper cooked ham not the plastic stuff out of a packet, beautiful quiche too. It was so well presented and decorated to a high standard. If you want a small venue for a little party, funeral buffet or something this is just marvellous. I haven't heard very good reports about the meals served though.

When the new owners took over we called in quite a lot and it looked that the Wildfowler was going to be as good as it used to be years ago. However we visited twice in a couple of weeks ago and they had no real ale on and the pub was quiet.

Went with a group on a Saturday night using KLFM voucher.Decoration is really good and the whole place is very clean and tidy.Ambience was good, enough people to make it pleasant. Friendly staff.Food was a bit pre-prepared but was hot and tasted ok. Steak and Chips was £9.99 and although not finest quality was very tasty. For the price it was good value for money. Onion Rings were excellent !Will return soon.

Ordered medium rare ribeye steak, was presented with a frozen steak cremated and could not distinguish what cut it was. Our advice - avoid.

Took advantage of KLFM's sale voucher just before Xmas and purchased a £5 voucher that equalled £25 worth of food. Hubby and I spent the afternoon bowling and visited for evening meal before going home. 5pm - All very quiet, VERY quiet and this immediately concerned me, however, I was proved incorrect. Our food was ordered at the counter, as requested, and the drinks were added to our 'tab'. Staff were friendly and approachable and eager to please. We arrived an hour before our actual table was booked and this didn't concern them at all. They welcomed us in and invited to find our chosen table. We ambled over to our table (chosen from several available and in the centre of the room - so often tables for two get shoved in the corner, but not in this pub/restaurant) and our steak dinner's were bought to us after around 15 or so minutes. Cooked to perfection and as requested, we were impressed at the presentation and the steak melted in the mouth. Now I hate chips and so asked for extra a salad which I received. It was clear as much thought had gone into my additional salad as the rest of the dish, as I was given extra peppers and coleslaw, which my husband (who eats chips) didn't get on this plate. The onion rings were clearly home made and not pre frozen and were crisp and well battered, although a little on the oily side for me but prefect according to my husband! Hot and inviting, we cleared our plates! Totally stuffed, we opted for ice cream for pudding and although probably not home made, was delicious and well presented. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit the Wildfowler and add this among my favourites of Kings Lynn Pub/restaurants. Thank you, we will return .

After passing the Wildfowler many times on my regular visits to the QE hospital, I made the decision to have Sunday lunch there. After waiting half an hour my microwave dinner arrived. Won't be stopping again!!!

Good to see the wildflower open again, very nice deco inside, friendly helpful staff, and a good choice of wines and beers. We have not eaten there but it does seem to be a good choice of food.Dog friendly in the beer garden,

We visited the Wildfowler (though it is currently listed here as incorrectly as The WildFLOWER) on a weekday. The pub was relatively quiet and we chose to sit outside.The menu consist of typical pub grub with lots of things served with chips. I chose ham & pickle baguette. The service was quick and staff polite. The sandwich was ok but did consist of packet ham rather than proper ham and the pickle was a bit tasteless. For £4+ I would have expected more.The interior has been done out well and it is very clean. They also do little activity bags for kids with pencils, paper etc which is a lovely touch. I think the garden area would benefit from a gate for just to make it safer for children which they are clearly trying to cater for. I think with a few improvements to the quality of the food this pub could be a lovely place to dine.

We visited The Wildflower in May as our friends are the new Landlord & Landlady.Not being bias, but the food was lovely. The main menu has about a dozen main dishes, which are a variety, from Steak, to Chicken Curry etc.On the first night of our visit we had the Steak & Chips, with Salad and a large mushroom and after our 5 hour journey to get to Kings Lynn, it was delish! The second day I had the Chicken Curry (which was made from scratch), served with rice, mini nann bread and some mini popadoms and I thoroughly enjoyed it!!My husband and children had the Traditional Fish and Chips, with mushy peas and he said it was fresh and very tasty.The pub itself is recently renovated and is a pleasure to be in. The décor' is fresh and welcoming. :)Pete & Nicola the Landlord and Landlady are a lovely couple and I wish them the best in their new venture.x
