The Willow House in Breckland

We had an event at the local Snetterton Race circuit and needed a local overnight stay for 4 of us. This was a late booking with a tight budget but on the web the place looked nice, charismatic and within budget. Booking was through booking.com and I immediately received plenty of information regarding the booking and confirmations etc. On arrival these notes proved spot on with regards to location, key collection etc. The room was very clean, functional and if a little dated, well equipped. I think the microwave, fridge etc was a bit of a covid hangover but nevertheless a welcome addition. TV was a little limited on channels but other than that fine. We did eat in the main restaurant and I thought it was pretty good. It was not high end fussy nonsense, just a generous helping of good food and in my opinion reasonably priced. Staff and service was excellent. Beds were comfortable, room was quiet, all in all ticked all the boxes. Thank you to the team at the Willows.

Went to the willow house last night on the 9/9/24. Honestly the food was terrible. Had the southern fried chicken and my partner had the fish and chips. The fish was so soggy and tasted awful! Like it has gone off. The southern fried chicken was burnt and dry. The owner was just sat at the bar drinking...... Didn't really seem to care that the food was terrible. After I sent mine back she decided to come to the table and tell me that she can't take all the food off the bill. As had eaten it. Clearly hadn't looked at the plates, if she had wouldn't have come over and said that. As soon as I told her that if she looked the plate she'll see that's shes lying and she walked off. There was no offer of apology for the food not being up to standard, she just seemed more concerned to get back to sitting at the bar drinking. Awful food and customer service on her part. Owner should be ashamed of herself The only saving grace was the lovely girl serving behind the bar who was trying her best.

Lovely meal out with friends, great food - quick service and get value for money. Will definitely be back. Friendly and helpful staff.

Had a 2 night stay and was somewhat disappointed with the overall experience. I know that it is has a 3 star rating but I would say it is at the lower end of that rating. The rooms were in need of reburfishment as they were a little unkempt and tired. Everything was communicated through text & email with very little human contact, although when we did have human contact the staff were very pleasant and helpful

Testing out the local pubs again and this place I had forgotten about but I'm quite pleased, nice atmosphere very well priced, great rage of food and its much nicer then last year whatever changed keep going great teaam, so I will be returning again. Very nice

Wow what fantastic pub grub. Homemade food with proper veg which seems to be rare in this day and age. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly with great advice on puddings. The portions were generous with a great menu choice for Gluten free people (my sister). So accommodating as we arrived 15 mins before the kitchen closed. Highly recommend a visit. Thank you The Willow House.

Came to Willow House with a friend after a day at Snetterton to see if there were any room vacancies. The hotel we had previously booked in the area had closed down. Unfortunately Willow House could not accommodate us but the helpful and friendly staff were happy to help us try to find alternative arrangements using their computer and giving us recommendations. We returned the next evening to have a meal and it was awesome. The arancini and halloumi was really good and the roast beef was melt in the mouth. We will definitely try to stop in next time we are in the area

Appalling service, over cooked food. When we complained we were ignored. When I complained again afterwards via FB message was accused of lying about raiskng the issue at time of paying, but offered 2 free meals. I declined politely and was sent abusive messages from the proprietor Duncan. Never again.

We dined here on Valentines night. Food quality and presentation was superb with excellent service by the very friendly happy professional staff and all at great value for money! We've previously used the Willow House for a family event. We had friends and relatives attend from across the country and many stayed overnight. They all commented on how good the rooms were and the comfort of the beds was a big plus. Cooked breakfast was superb and having stayed in family owned hotels/B&B's while working across the UK for 40 years it was the best I've ever had. Well done the chef! The staff were so accommodating and helpful ensuring all our needs were met. The food was again superb. Thank you to the Willow House who helped us make this event fun and very memorable! If you're looking for somewhere to stay, eat and drink in the heart of Norfolk I highly recommend this superb little gem! You won't be disappointed!

Absolutely poor, the salad looks wilted, the duck appears to be drowning in an overly thin gravy - not a jus… The smoked salmon cream cheese is just a fab blob on the plate and the Bruschetta is just a cheap Panini cut in half! The Carrot and Orange soup looks like you included dirt from the garden! The presentation was shoddy! Absolutely awful would never dine again! Don’t waste your money

Fantastic lunch - really good value for money and really tasty - would definitely go again. Roasts were scrummy, starters as well - really lovely

While visiting family in Watton we decided to go out for lunch and we weren't disappointed. What a great find, this pub restaurant hidden back from the main road was very friendly and accommodating. We were greeted with a friendly smile and offered drinks before being shown to a table. After looking at the menu we placed our order of 3 all day breakfast, a burger meal, and the hot chilli and a few sides. The food arrived about 15 mins or so later and to say that the portion size was very large is understating. The breakfasts were massive and looked fantastic, the burger meal was huge and my wife said that it was really really good. I opted for the chilli that was pulled beef chilli and such a good flavour and the right side of hot that I would comfortably say that it was the best chilli that I have ever had, and I make a brilliant chilli even if I do say so. I would recommend a visit to anyone who find themselves in or around Watton. 5 star service and 5 star food.

Stay over night due to visiting the area. Brilliant service and lovely room, facilities in the room worth every penny. Would recommend a stay. Breakfast was fab ! Again value for money.

First time we tried this place and we have lived in Watton for over 11 years now.. got to say its a hidden gem, the food was lovely from starter to desert. waitresses were always there to hand.. definitely will go back for another evening meal.

Amazing stir fry, amazing cook and staff and wine ice cold. Great to be a veggie here at the Willows.

An ideal place to stay if you are going to Snetterton racing. Comfortable accommodation, friendly staff and superb food. The full English breakfast is enormous if you choose everything and the choice of evening meals is wonderful.

Our third stay at this wonderful pub. Spacious well equipped rooms with a free DIY breakfast in your room ( yoghurt, bread, butter, orange juice, milk , cereal and jams etc) a cooked breakfast is an add on, but well worth the money. Evening meals are huge and are exceptional!! Very friendly, attentive staff with a warm welcome back from Duncan the landlord.

Went for meal tonight with husband and sister in law been before and was nice tonight completely different outcome. As soon as we arrived was told certain items on menu not available that was not a problem. We ordered then was told my husbands choice not aviable again ok. He then choose sausages in Yorkshire pudding with mash and veg .I choose the goats cheese tarlet. Sister in law the lasagne. When meals arrived the tartlet was onions, spinach, mushrooms,with 2 slices of goats cheese topped with a flaky pastry top like the ones you get on a pie after looking there was a soggy pastry circle learking beneath the veg carnage .I cannot explain the taste didn't have any didn't eat much. The sausage and mash small Yorkshire pudding perhaps aunt Bessie's my husband said it had no taste not even the sausages. He didn't eat much. The lasagne was lovely apparently. When asked if everything was OK and we said not really was completely ignored.again when paying we said it wasn't up to usual standard we again were ignored. We paid no trip apart from get it better and worth the money .Will not be booking again awful and food apart from lasagne not edible

This lovely thatched pub/hotel was booked at the last minute…but what a pleasant surprise when we arrived! Clean and well equipped room, where we could have had a continual breakfast as everything was provided in our room, but we choose to have a hot breakfast in the restaurant. The breakfast was amazing. Staff very friendly and attended to our every need.

Nice atmosphere with a friendly welcome. Beer kept very well and large portions for lunch which was really nice and not expected, excellent value. The burger was very enjoyable with side salad, chips and beans (you could have had peas instead). We will be returning.

We were visiting family in Watton and needed somewhere to stay for one night. This hotel is lovely. The room was spacious and had everything we needed. The continental breakfast in our room was just right. The main building dates back to 1556 but the rooms were in an annex. Highly recommended.

Stayed overnight at the Willow House. Met with wonderful hospitality and excellent bar staff. We stayed for an evening meal and all 4 in the party were impressed with the food served. Service was impeccable and this was also the case (after a VERY comfortable sleep) with breakfast served the next morning. Our chef (John) could not be more accommodating and every request was catered for and could not praise the breakfast enough. Will definitely stay whenever we are in this area and more than happy to recommend this great pub, restaurant, b&b to everyone

Invited a couple of family friends for food at the willow house as id heard ok things about it. The bar staff were friendly and served our drinks as any other bar staff would. I orded food. Starters - Scotch egg, Halloumi and nachos. Starters were good, although only 3 pieces of halloumi on a bed of salad was disappointing. Now, the mains, we ordered a burger with cheese, loin of pork with crackling and the chicken supreme. For context, the chicken supreme should be stuffed with dried tomatoes, pesto and cheese with a pesto sauce, sounds delicious right? It came like a roast dinner, smothered in gravy, no pesto sauce, served with soggy left over vegetables and potatoes that had barely any potato left in them from being reheated also wrapped in fatty barley cooked bacon! No mention of bacon on the menu. I asked the waitress why it was served with gravy and not pesto sauce, she couldnt answer and told me that if i wasnt happy then they would do something else, great service again from the bar staff. I said, whatever is quickest, like a burger with cheese, so my meal was taken to the kitchen. A few minutes later, a gentleman comes out, im presuming a chef, although clothed like any other customer, approched our table and said... thats the way the food comes, so if you want something else, youll be charged again. I questioned why the chicken comes like a roast dinner as the menu says pesto sauce. He said that the pesto sauce is in the chicken. Basically the attitude of, if i didnt like it, go somewhere else. He said that he can make me some pesto gravy (woo eye roll) but i couldnt justify paying for another meal when the meal I ordered wasnt served as advertised. The customer service from that member of staff was awful. The food came back to the table and thought id try it, no matter how unappealing it looked. It was literally the gravy with some pesto stirred in it. It was unpleasent but knew complaining would obviously not do anything to help me. So had my couple of mouthfuls and left it. Service was awful from im presuming the chef. Such a shame as a quiet pub that could do with the customers treats them like that. I wouldve been better getting a kebab. I will avoid the place in future.

We ordered a meal from a good menu. It was freshly cooked. and very tasty. What more can you ask. Also, no long wait

Visited this pub recently as we were in the area. Tripadvisor reviews looked good so we gave it a try.... we were not disappointed! Lovely welcome - including for our 2 well behaved dogs who were allowed in the bar area. Good menu choice, reasonably priced and our food was delicious, generous portions and well presented. Would not hesitate to recommend this place and will visit again when we are in the area.

We have been here for lunch on three separate occasions, once on a Saturday when we had to book, and twice midweek when we called in on spec. Every time we were impressed by the menu choices, including vegetarian options. The service was good, food delicious and plentiful and the bill at the end very reasonable. The Willow House is a very attractive venue, with an olde worlde charm which adds to the dining experience. There is adequate parking but if the car park were to be full then there is a free car park just over the road behind Queens Hall.

Wow.....an amazing tastebud experience...food was incredible and piping hot....and the portions were huge...give it a try..

What a find!! A lovely friendly place to stay, wonderful evening meal and a fantastic breakfast! Rooms very comfortable. Well worth a visit. Highly recommended. We will be back .

We were exploring the Norfolk area and decided to stay here. The room was quite spacious and had everything we needed. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Dinner was quite good in the pub. We also took advantage of the breakfast. The breakfast staff had overslept (which they profusely apologized for) so we didn't eat as early as we had wanted to but when the chef came he was so kind and pleasant and the food was so good that it was worth the extra little wait. We all oversleep once in a while! I definitely recommend staying here.

Just had the most amazing 40th wedding anniversary celebration for my parents at the Willow House. The staff could not have been more attentive and the food was incredible. We were hosting a vow renewal followed by a sit down meal. On arriving at the venue ready to decorate, everything had already been set out for us. The outside area had been decorated for the renewal ceremony beautifully. Staff were on hand constantly to make sure everything was going well. When we went inside for the meal, all of the decorations had been moved across to the dining room making it look perfect. Everybody thoroughly enjoyed the meal. It was truly a night to remember. I could not recommend anyone else more highly. Thank you to all of the staff, especially to Sophie for the beautiful and thoughtful details with the decor, and to Duncan for bringing it all together.

Very nice rooms, linen was fresh and soft. Felt very safe and secure. Toiletries were supplied. Only downside is that Sunday breakfast is only from 8:15 until 9:15. Would be nice if it lasted a little longer so one can have a lie in. But overall a lovely stay. Close to the road but you can’t hear any traffic.

We popped in for lunch a couple of days ago whilst staying in the area. The portions were huge, but the prices weren't. Service and hospitality also fabulous. We came back this evening to eat and stay for the quiz. I ordered the chicken chorizo mushroom and spinach tagliatelle in a tomato sauce with bruschetta....it would have fed 2 to 3. Absolutely delicious. We all chose something different and weren't disappointed Oh and they are also doggie friendly too. A real gem

I stayed here last week with a group of cyclists and once again we were looked after superbly by Duncan and his staff of cheery folk. The rooms have been improved since our last stay a couple of years ago, the choice of beers and wines is as good as ever, and the food in the restaurant just gets better and bigger. The inhabitants of Watton can count themselves very fortunate to have a pub/restaurant/hotel offering such great quality and exceptional value.

One poor lady nearly had her dinner in her lap where the waitress dropped it. Staff swear in front of customers. Bruschetta was actually garlic bread on the side and 2 ‘chunks’ of tomato. Chicken served is processed cubes Custard served tepid to cold drizzled with a red and brown sauce! Staff rude when told about food. ☹️

Having lived nearby and never visited, wished I had sooner. Food plentiful and well cooked. Ordered Haddock and chips, only able to eat half as there was just so much! Great value and will definitley be back. Nice cosy atmosphere and friendly staff.

Love this pub we go on Sundays and have a Sunday roast.The food is always well cooked and hot ,lots of it too.Very quaint .

Had a wonderful Christmas meal here. Food was excellent all people in our group thought the food was superb we will definitely be back in 2019. Planning to go near my birthday.

For years I have avoided this pub based on reputation from years back. Ate there as a ‘last resort’ last night and was blown away.

Booked a table for four for an evening meal. Friendly ladies behind bar whom were welcoming.Cosy venue in which is clean with a combined old and modern feel.The food and presentation was very good,very large portions which filled the equally large plates.The wine was good too. Excellent value for the money which we paid for 4 people, very impressed!Outside the pub was really lovely too, fell in love with the covered seating area,large but so cosy, very impressive. Will we return ... Yes definitely in the summer to enjoy this area and the wonderful food.

like most people in Watton, The willow House was ( and is ) is my favourite place to drink. Four real ales that change at regular intervals, give even the most jaded ale drinker a choice, that is both interesting and local. over the last few years my wife and I attended Trafalgar nights, these are set menus arranged to celebrate the battle of Trafalgar. The staff and friends of the willow house make these evenings a gala of jokes food and grog. if themed events are not your thing, every first Monday of the month is given over to curry night. a buffet of curries and sides that's changes for each evening.

Stayed here for one night, arrived before checking in time. But made very welcome,coffee given whilst room was checked to see if it was ready. Taken to room, very spacious,clean,quiet. Food was delicious, staff very pleasant. Breakfast catered for as vegetarian. Nothing was too much trouble for staff.

Very welcoming, good service and huge (I mean huge!) portions that were very tasty and well cooked. We had starters and main which disappointingly left no room for dessert! Next time we’ll go for mains and desserts. Good value for money.

We visited The Willow house last night for a birthday meal. There was a group of 25 of us, we ordered varied meals from both menus and the food was amazing. One of the best meals we have had, the staff were so good especially with the kids and we couldn’t of asked for a better service. We will definitely be eating there again. Thank you.

Recently visited the restaurant with a large number of walking friends and found the staff to be friendly , the service excellent and the food really tasty ...how the chef managed to create food of this quality for so many people was amazing . I would be very happy to recommend this establishment to any person who expects good food and excellent value for money .

Our party of four had made varied choices of what we required for our Christmas Day dinner and all the meals were beautifully presented and tasted as good.

Great menu catering for all tastes. Option to have traditional Christmas grub along with other freshly cooked meals. Beautiful steak, probably the best I've had for years. Service spot on. Good value. Welcoming atmosphere and nice surroundings. Highly recommended.

For the fifth year our local walking group have had Christmas lunch here and we cannot find fault staff and service is excellent, food is the same,great atmosphere and resonable prices. We Will definitely be going back next year

Went to the Willow house for a Group Christmas Dinner. The restaurant was warm, spacious and well laid out for the group on one long table. The food was served promptly, by pleasant helpful staff, and was generously portioned.

Just spent 2 nights at this hotel. It was lovely experience, rooms are great, good facilities, very clean. We had an amazing breakfast, the choice was excellent. We will definitely be back.staff very welcoming.

Well what can I say. The table was set lovely for 18 people. The food came out all together and was fresh and hot. The staff were very friendly as well. Sophie has a very good team there all messages I sent to her was responded to very quickly. Such a wonderful pub to visit. Well done Willow House

The staff and locals were very friendly, we were made to feel welcome and the food was amazing. As I had a large starter and main, could not manage everything and they were more than happy to make me up a doggy bag to take my veggy risotto home. Lovely surroundings, will go back again.

An historic thatched country style inn of rustic charm. A wonderful charming interior with an atmosphere aided and supported by a warm and cheerful female server. We selected the roast beef and pork dishes and when these arrived the selection of various vegetables which included Romanesque was incredible and the homemade gravy delicious. Excellent lunches enjoyed by all and is highly recommended by us .

We stayed here as visiting family new to the area, we stayed in a double room with a small ensuite but was very good. We had a couple of drinks at the bar all very nice. Breakfast was lovely too. I would stay again.

We pop in as we were told they were good. Asked if we could have dogs no probs, girl behind bar was great very helpful. Ordered drinks and sat down. Had a lovely meal and man size, very good price. Shame i dont live there. When we that way again i would go out, of my way to go back. Thank you guys

Went with friends whilst staying in Watton. This restaurant had been recommended to get good pub food and on Tuesday it’s also quiz night. Had a great night with good food, service and an excellent quiz. Was made to feel really welcome.

My family and I plus our dog Holly had the pleasure of visiting the Willow House on three occasions over the two weeks we were on holiday. Each time we received a warm welcome and excellent food we met with our friends who live nearby for Sunday lunch they were so impressed to have found this gem so near to Dereham. We also took part in the Tuesday evening Quiz night and again was made to feel like one of the regular’s. I total recommend this venue and only wish it was near to where I live.

We popped in for some lunch. The staff was very nice and accommodating. They had great drink recommendations and our lunch was delicious! My husband had a coronation chicken sandwich and I had a jacket potato with coronation chicken and cheddar. The potato was huge and tasty. Our meals also came with side salads. Everything was fresh and lovely to eat. We'll be back for sure.

What a lovely place to eat, I went here today with my husband, Granddaughter and my 4week old great granddaughter for lunch. As it was a good day we sat outside in the sun and had an excellent meal, amazing portions and very tasty, nothing seemed too much trouble for the staff and it was a very relaxing time. The building is very old and quirky and the garden area had a few covered areas as well as open tables so could cater for any ones taste. Although we had been passed a few times this was our first visit and it will not be the last. A relaxing lunch for my granddaughter was what we were looking for and this delivered just the right atmosphere.

What an excellent evening at the curry night. Lovey selection of home made dishes and plenty of food to fill even the largest appetite! Wonderful service too. We will certainly be going back.

We stayed at the Willow House for two nights. We had a lovely big room around the back of the building which was very quiet. Extremely large comfortable bed with lots of pillows. The room had been recently decorated to a very high standard and was very clean. Tea and coffee were plentiful including lots of milk cartons. There was an empty fridge which meant we could add our own drinks and was a nice change from a fridge full of expensive miniatures! We ate two meals in the bar which were extremely large and very well cooked as was the full English each morning. It’s a busy pub catering for everyone in the village as well as visitors for short stays. It was a little noisy when we arrived but don’t let that put you off. It quietened down as the evening went on and all groups of people - young and old, couples and families were having a good time. Thank you The Willow House. If we’re in the area again, we’ll be back.

After staying here and just getting back stayed from 17 th 19 august cannot fault this hotel room very comfortable food was really good friendly staff would recommend anyone wanting good service this is the place to stay we were visiting family in thetford area so was not to far from were we needed to be

A typical british pub Had a very good diner here. Good selection of beers and food and friendly staff!

We were camping nearby and decided to come here for our evening meal. It was great. We were served quickly and didn’t have to wait too long for our food.

Stopped in on the off chance for lunch. Not as busy as I expected for a Friday lunch time. Despite ordering sandwiches we waited a long time for them. Fillings are very generous and accompanied by a side salad and crisps. We had a leisurely lunch and at no time did we feel hurried to leave once we were finished.

Lived in Watton for nearly 2 years and this was our first visit. Ok the service was a bit slow but as I had my brother here from the USA we had plenty to talk about.

We've just returned from a weekend stay at the excellent Willow House. I cannot fault the staff, the food or the other guests and, although we stayed for just one night, we were made to feel like locals. Our room was extremely clean and comfortable with, perhaps, the only drawback being a very small shower room. Not an issue for us as we stayed just the one night, but it could have been a bit of a pain were we staying for much longer. But this is nitpicking - excellent value in excellent surroundings and I have no doubt we'll be back.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The Breakfasts were excellent, freshly made to order. Dinner was great too. My Room was very airy, fresh, and comfortable. Lovely 15th Century Inn with a Thatched Roof. Thank you for looking after me, hope to see you again.

I was spending a long weekend at Richmond Park Golf club and needed somewhere for one night and I booked this little gem.

Enjoyed a lunch here with friends, I had bacon panini served with salad and crisps my friend had an enormous jacket potato filled with tuna. It looked amazing. Both were lovely. Nice and quiet for a catch up, although there were quite a few other patrons. Will definitely come back.
