Vernon Arms in North Norfolk

A proper pub. We stopped by for a mid-afternoon pint whilst trying to walk off some of our excessive lunch at The Suffield. A smattering of locals were propping up the bar on a Monday, the fire was blazing, it was comfortable and there was a good range of ale on handpull. All very satisfying.

Four of us had an excellent Sunday lunch . My gf diet was well catered for . The food was exceptional . A birthday was celebrated with the friendly , efficient staff singing . Thank you to them all , I hope to be back .

Food was great and service was really good. 100% would recommend 👌

My mum and I love coming here for a good honest roast. Beautiful in a sweet village.

The food is excellent. The staff are brilliant. The place is well run it is a very nice place to visit. Me and the wife loved it 😊😊

Great Beer and cider. Friendly helpful staff. Great food. Good prices. We will be returning.

Fabulous place Excellent food and exceptional friendly service. Please go and enjoy 😉

The Vernon is a great pub, the staff are all lovely and very helpful. There is a good variety on the menu, quite reasonable. I really cannot fault this pub in any way. Roaring fire in main room . 10/10 in my books.

Small car park but was there early. Opening time was at 12.00 but doors not open till 12.05. Then staff wasn't even ready for customers. Once sorted the barman was polite and helpful. Didn't take long for service of food to arrive. Food was good but a little pricy. Therefore for me, is a one off and another reviewed restaurant.

Good food good selection of real Ale's

What a great lunch. We shared a deep fried Brie starter - there was plenty for both of us. My wife had pork steak with Stilton and red onion topping and I had the Vernon Arms Black and Tan pie - beef and Guinness - both served with lovely freshly cooked vegetables. Although the pie didn’t have a pastry bottom it wasn’t ‘casserole with an added pastry lid’ - the yummy short crust pastry was sealed and cooked on the dish. Great choice of beer and wine. Overall a great experience

We had a lovely meal with our friends the service was very good and we would go again this pub was recommended by our family 😊

Enjoyed a great celebration meal. Pies are fantastic but an extra slice of toast with the pate would have made a nicer balance. Would certainly go again

Good beer, wide ranging pub menu with lunch time options.

lovely place, good beer and friendly staff

Nice friendly pub with good food.

Nice little pub. Good atmosphere and staff. Fire was lovely and welcoming on a cold day. Loved the roast potatoes.

Fabulous place. I love going in here! Gorgeous fire, friendly staff, and relaxed ambience

This is a hidden gem tucked away in a little village not far from the coast. It's a homely pub with real character and very welcoming. We booked ahead and glad we did as it was busy. The menu is wide and varied but not too much so and contains lots of good home cooked type food. It was delicious, decent sized portions but not enormous 👍. The service was very friendly as were the staff. Check it out, you'll not be disappointed.

Great place for food and atmosphere lovely staff.

Lively pub, good friendly , comfortable ambience and excellent Sunday roast.

This is a lovely old English pub with a roaring wood fire, welcoming staff and a very good restaurant serving classic, good, pub food. There is free parking outside and overspill parking in the Village Hall car park opposite. Our food was very good, although not cheap for rural pub fare, and the waitress was attentive and friendly. We enjoyed our evening out at the Vernon Arms and would certainly eat here again.

Fantastic food, very friendly staff. Big open fire very welcoming on a wet, cold and windy day. Very dog friendly too. Loved it. 100% recommend!!

Great food and beer chicken pie was delicious Served with fresh vegetables.

Had a meal here while visiting the area for an extended weekend. Nice atmosphere, friendly welcome and good food.

Great pub good food friendly atmosphere

Had a lovely meal with friends at Vernon Arms. Warm, cosy pub with welcoming atmosphere. Staff were very attentive. Enjoyed listening to the folk singers there, too. My only tiny criticism is the limited vegetarian choices.

Fabulous pub with great atmosphere, excellent quality food and very friendly staff. Has a good choice of local ales and also very dog friendly. Couldn't fault a thing and will definitely return.

Lovely food, excellent choices. Good service.

Excellent Sunday lunch , great roast beef , everything lovely & fresh . Delicious treacle tart Exceptional service , very friendly . Will definitely return

There were 6 of us including two young ones. We were welcomed and quickly down our table and then the usual request for drinks. Our order was taken and at about 7 our food arrived. The meat and ale pie was sensational! The staff were good and could not have been more helpful but it took longer than I expected for the food to arrive. The Bailey's cheesecake was brilliant. The place was heaving and very popular the food was really good. I had the chickpea curry and it was nowhere near as good as the pies. It's worth the wait and we are going again.

What a fantastic pub! We had dinner as a group of friends whilst on a mini break. Food was outstanding. Service was great, a couple of glitches with our meals but it was a busy Saturday evening. Desserts on the house for the whole party was offered as an apology for mistakes but we were all too full to accept the generous gesture. Just the kind of pub we all wish was around the corner.

Went here for dinner with my partner... the title says it all... Fabulous. Really good food, the starters are fantastic, we had the fish platter and the Stilton Mushroom... The Beef and Ale pie is to die for. Excellent service, excellent food and a fantastic atmosphere made for a really lovely evening. I thoroughly recommend the Vernon Aems

Cosy pub and very busy for a mid week evening. Need to book. Good menu with plenty of options at reasonable prices. Husband had the salmon with lovely fresh vegetables. I had the light bite sea food and added chips and coleslaw. Nice to have food options that are freshly cooked and not just high carbs from a frozen food bag. We couldn’t manage dessert but options were good and looking at what others were eating, they were very popular. Excellent service. Friendly and unobtrusive. Would definitely go again when in the area.

Absolutely brilliant service and excellent food quality 👌 👏

Very nice local place! Worth visiting it. The food was amazingly good and fresh ☺️

We have been coming here for years. Proper Norfolk pub, excellent customer service and attention to detail. Just love it, keep it up😁 we will keep coming back.

12 of us visited this lovely pub as part of my Mothers 80th Birthday celebrations. What a great find. Food was delicious and reasonably priced and lovely, attentive staff. Such a shame it is a 2 and half hour drive away from home as would definitely return.

Fabulous pub, super dog friendly. Very welcoming. Thoroughly recommend the Black and Tan pie and the Sunday Roast. Thank you for making us feel welcomed.

Having looked at the reviews we ordered the black and tan steak pie we were not disappointed, there was excellent service from start to finish and the staff were so friendly

I cannot recommend this place enough! Food, service, atmosphere, everything was absolutely spot on. Thanks guys for a great dining experience!

The Chef knows how to cook a good steak, excellent service by the girls and the desert 😋

Absolutely lovely. Will be back.

I booked here after searching for dog friendly, gluten free friendly and good food. Focussing on the good stuff, booking confirmed both dogs and GF accommodated. Very friendly on arrival. Very lovely building and interior. The dog friendly area was lovely. On the menu dishes were identified with GFA which meant ‘Gluten Free or Adaptable’ with a good choice. We ordered 3 roast dinners. My GFA beef and Yorkshire pudding arrived without the Yorkshire. After checking it transpires that to meet GFA the Yorkshire pudding was simply removed. No other option. I was told I could have the YP with gluten if I wanted it… When we ordered desserts I checked first confirmed that the GFA fruit fool and crumble was in face just the fruit fool. When we shared our reasonable feedback about the interpretation of GFA, the lady listened but made no comment or acknowledgement. She didn’t actually seem concerned either way although friendly enough. The meals themselves were reasonable, the meat good quality. The gravy was lovely. Overall I thought the food was expensive for a pleasant enough but not fabulous Sunday roast. I would not return as a GF diner. It seems like a small thing but GF adaption being equal to just leaving out parts of the dish that have gluten in them doesn’t feel very welcoming. Do go there for pleasant regular food, a lovely setting, (overall) friendly staff and dog friendly indoor eating. I have marked down on value for money, and for the GFA experience. Take away the GF stuff and it’s 4 stars.

This village hostelry caters for locals and guests alike. There was a thriving bar and games area, as well as a candle-lit restaurant area. The menu has all the pub classics you’d expect … we had pulled pork nachos to start and beef ‘n’ ale pie for main. Both were tasty, the beef was melt in your mouth tender and plenty of it. Service was efficient and fast, just how we like it. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food served and service provided.

Fabulous home cooked food, try to visit whenever we are staying locally.

Friendly and welcoming to visitors

My wife and I have been to the Vernon Arms several times, for meals and drinks, so it seemed an obvious venue when her parents were staying with us. The phone booking was efficient, with useful advice on parking to use the rear entrance across the patio. Despite the busy Friday night (it's clearly a popular bar), our table in the rear room was ready on arrival. The service was politely attentive and quick, with food arriving hot just at the right moment. I opted for my favourite (and the server's) of beef and Guinness pie with mixed vegetables and new potatoes, my wife tried, and loved, the chilli burger and chips. I said to the server afterwards I was pleased not to have asked for English mustard as it gave me the chance to savour the delicious gravy and tender (perfectly cooked, the server agreed) beef. The meal was so good, one scoop of vanilla, chocolate and honeycomb ice cream was a perfect end for my wife and I. it's always wonderful to find somewhere good that maintains its standards; the Vernon Arms is one of those places, which we'll look forward to taking more friends and family to.

Excellent food and friendly staff

We booked as always (they are quite popular!) and as always, the staff are warm and welcoming. We had mains and desserts, everything we ordered was great! My wife enjoyed her salmon, my daughter finished off her pasta (very generous portion for kid menu) and then proceeded onto my fluffy chips (I had one of their 🍔 😋) Time from ordering to food was amazing though we were early eaters, even so the place was busy but atmosphere was warm, pleasant without the decibel level of most pubs/restaurants. We’ve been coming for a few years now and each time we are always pleased with the level of service (and relieved that they haven’t changed) Prices reflect the quality of their product, no doubt we will be back again. But book ahead!

Great pub. The guys that work their are polite and professional. Must visit

We've eaten here and also some of the famous places close by. This is our favourite. Great food, great staff and a genuinely welcoming vibe. Our favourite place to eat in the area.

On holiday and went to the Vernon Arms,friendly staff,excellent food, amazing atmosphere and a folk band playing. Win win win. Thank you Vernon Arms

Fitted us in at very short notice, lovely food, friendly and prompt service, unexpected musical entertainment

On holiday and found this little gem lovely traditional pub such friendly staff and food excellent (home made burgers and chili con carne were delicious) dog friendly went out of their way to accommodate our 3 dogs definitely going back 👍

We visited on the off chance they could fit us in for dinner which they did. The food was very good and we had more than enough. I had the garlic chicken my husband had pork and the garlic bread was delicious. We were so full we couldn’t eat any pudding. The staff were lovely and served us promptly we were not kept waiting long. That is the good part now the not so good part of the visit. I am disabled and all in all the pub/restaurant is quite accessible for an old building. The problem came when I used the accessible toilet. I went to wash my hands and there was no hand wash in the dispenser it was empty. I went next door to the ladies toilet to use the hand wash in there . On the shelves they had lovely hand wash and hand cream in fact they had 2 of each . These were much nicer than than hospital style dispenser that was in the accessible toilet. ( and they were full) Why doesn’t the accessible toilet have the same nicer hand wash as the ‘ normal’ toilets. People with disabilities like to use nice products too. I will say the accessible toilet was better than a lot I’ve been in and wasn’t used as storage for cleaning products but it would have been a nice touch to have the nicer hand wash and hand cream in there too along with sanitizer. I did mention it to a member of staff as I left so I hope next time I go , as I will because the food was so good, that they have thought to do this.

Ate in there and the 4 meals were fantastic. I would say the steak and ale pie was one of the best I have tasted.

Had steak and the pie both Great,staff excellent.

Lovely pub, delicious food and friendly staff. Dog friendly too 😊

A great experience highly recommended Great friendly atmosphere excellent food a pleasant pleasure will returning soon

Lovely staff, good food. The salmon and mushroom stroganoff was beautiful. No kids running around! What more can you ask for.

With one exception of the fact that it took 45 minutes from main course to arrive having had no starters, the experience here was excellent. The food was amazing at reasonable prices, particularly for the light bites lunch, menu, where you could have a sandwich...

Excellent food great service second to non. Must go place

We booked for lunch having visited previously for drinks. Everytime we have visited we have been met with a warm welcome and great service. This time was as before but with excellent food as well. Thankyou to all !

An amazing find! Lovely traditional pub atmosphere, staff were all friendly and polite and the food was delicious. Proper hearty pub grub. We’re very glad we found this gem!

A popular local pub with a good atmosphere and solid British pub food. The Guinness steak and ale pie was full of meat and was let down only by the crust which probably ought to be made of 'puff' pastry. Nevertheless, the pie was tasty and the mushy peas were a great addition. Lots of local ales available in this popular meeting place. Service was great. Friendly and knowledgeable.

We called in whilst holidaying nearby. What a gem! Lovely staff & atmosphere. Food was beautiful. The perfect place to spend our last night away! Thanks all!

Really lovely country pub...lovely welcome and fantastic service from all staff, noticed they were all communicating constantly to ensure all customers were looked after therefore service was excellent. The food was also of a very high standard and presented beautifully. We also had our dog...

We had a great meal at the Vernon Arms last night. The food was very good indeed and the staff were friendly and attentive. Fortunately we live close by so will be back again soon.

Portion sizing was very small for the price and no better than buying the seafood from a supermarket yourself for a lot less

Had the crab mornay , absolutely delicious !

Absolutely fantastic. The best vibe, awesome food, there is no negative about this pub

Great service, great food & great beer. Dog friendly as well. Book in advance as clearly gets busy. Really enjoyed our family evening meal.

Good food, price and excellent service

Found this on TripAdvisor and gave it a go. The good comments were not for nothing. Really good food served by friendly staff. Good selection on the menu. There are outside tables too if you want.

Fantastic food, well worth a visit. Was lovely to see a pub packed. Really recommend the Pie chips and mushy peas.

Got there a little late for a Sunday lunch but they accommodated us suitably (with our dog) and really can't fault them. Nice roast too!

Not had food for a while but a lovely pub

Pub dining can be a bit hit and miss but I suspect not so at The Vernon Arms. Our dinner for two was generous in portion and delicious to the taste. It’s so easy to not get the vegetable side of things right but these...

We popped in hoping for Sunday roast, we hadn’t booked, but the very friendly staff fitted us in. So glad they did! Excellent roast beef with a fab selection of vegetables, the roasties were delicious and the yorkshire pud was huge! Unfortunately, didn’t have room...

Visited this pub for a lunchtime drink, we liked the look of the food so managed to get a table for the evening. The food was really good, I had pork and hubby had fish and chips. The pub has a nice atmosphere and all...

Excellent local pub with great food and service. Real asset to the area.

We stayed in southrepps for 3 nights. Loved the pub so much that we visited every evening, we felt no need to stray further afield. The bar manager was extremely efficient and welcoming. The landlord equally so. All full of smiles and high class hospitality. Pool table and darts in a separate area, comfortable furniture near to an open fire if it was winter weather. Dog friendly areas including some areas for dining. Certainly worth a visit!

Looking for food ,we googled this pub,having visited relatives we git here quite late as the allotted time fir food was almost up,they accommodated us ,the service was fantastic, the staff friendly, the food was gorgeous and the atmosphere really nice ,would recommend 100% xx

We enjoyed a nice meal here, not a lot of Vegetarian options though. The staff were friendly and efficient.

Absolutely 💯 recommended 👌 👍 Cannot fault it. 😊

Everything was clean and tidy, menu had the average pub selection. Food was well presented but taste let it down. The burger was dripping when bitten into the Gammon was smoked which was expected but very salty. Unfortunately it couldn’t been eaten. When asked we...

Great village pub and a great restaurant. Well worth booking .

Lovely pub great food and service

The pub looks lovely and the staff very friendly.. we stopped here on our way to stay at a local holiday house. The menu was good with many choices. However the quality of food was very poor. Our friend and my husband had burgers and...

This country pub has become my local and although I can not comment on the taste as I've never eaten there but I have heard hu dress of people in the area discuss it and the food I see come out the kitchen I see always looks fantastic....the service and atmosphere is always amazing I felt extremely welcome when moved I to the village...you can always tell a place from the local and the Vernon is a pub to sit relax laugh joke and de-stress while taking away the modern stresses and Going into a proper country pub to sit by a fire and laugh with customers and staff that get to know you personally.....knowing our drinks a d how we like them .....WIN WIN WIN

It was a very nice pub with good quality food.

We were staying in Mundesley and drove past the Vernon Arms a couple of times and decided to book a table on the Tuesday. It's so nice to see a thriving village pub, staff are welcoming and very friendly, the whole pub has a lovely...
