Wayford Bridge Inn in North Norfolk

Roast pork very dry and bland. Staff not very polite. Used be our favourite pub to go to. Hopefully they will improve after emailing them as well

Stayed one night at The Wayford prior to our boating holiday and then visited again via boat a few days later. Accommodation and food are excellent, staff are very friendly and welcoming, shout out to Nick who keeps you entertained. Definitely coming back.

Have always avoided in the summer. Came for dinner. A nice menu, we both chose liver and bacon, although it was a hot evening! It was delicious. Dog friendly, a plate of biscuits delivered for our dog. A suggestion would be for the patio area to be swept and tidied, and the outside tables cleaned.

Love this hotel staff fabulous food great, rooms fantastic so comfortable peaceful would come here every week if had time I only stay here when I come to norfolk . Thank you Sally IN LONDON.

Five family members called in today for breakfast, before our journey home after a Broads holiday. We received a really friendly welcome, and were served a wonderful, excellent value breakfast by efficient and attentive staff. I would highly recommend the Wayford Bridge Inn's full English breakfast, which includes toast and preserves plus plentiful tea and coffee for a very reasonable £10.95. This is not the first visit we have made, and it certainly won't be the last.

We went for an evening meal at the restaurant did not stay at the hotel. Decor very old fashioned and a thick layer of dust staff looked miserable. Waited nearly an hour for food which was quite possibly the worst we’ve ever had! A greasy tasteless moussaka a raw pizza and halloumi that was swimming in some sort of liquid. Strongly recommend you do not go.

What a lovely place, simple and rustic. The staff were friendly welcoming and attentive. Drinks were served at our table. Menu was complimented with a specials board. I went for my favourite starter of deep fried brie wedges with cranberry dip and a small salad. This was follwed by the steak and ale and mushroom pud. These were all cooked to perfection. Pud was hot and stuffed with meat, gravy rich and tasty mash was soft and creamy. I didn't have room for a dessert which is a shame but next time!! I will have the main and the sweet as i'd eyed up at least 4 different scenarios!!. So this is as good an excuse as any to go back!!. It was a lovely sunny lazy Sunday afternoon spent with good company and perfectly cooked food. 10/10.

A delightful little pub that we stopped off at whilst hiring a canoe from Dilham. Friendly staff, lovely food and relatively well-priced. would definitely visit again if we get a chance.

Staff reasonabley friendly.had the ploughman's which I have had before. This time extremely poor. Cheese rubbery taste ham not nice strange taste salad very limp. Baguette not cooked very white. Why strawberries added on not sure . Pickled onions sour

I can not fault the food but the service was way below basic standards. Customer service a great big zero. Today's staff definitely needs training and supervison. And PLEASE don't wipe your nose on your tie and most definitely not in front of customers

Wonderful place to stay , rooms spotless and very clean, food excellent and breakfast sets you up for the day. lost of places to visit and very close to the sea !!, can’t wait for my next visit 👍

Well........the Wayford bridge cheese burger is to die for! Very tasty and becoming a firm favourite. Thank you Wayford Bridge for the banter 😆 and good food. We've being coming here for 7 years now its a firm local favourite 🍔🍔🙂

Went for lunch, food good, paid the bill , upon leaving a staff member shouted did you pay your bill, my wife and I said we had the staff .member said, wait there while I check A classic case of no communication and left between feeling angry and humiliated

Well Karen and the team out done themselves again for my family Christmas meal 🎅. It was absolutely lovely. We all enjoyed it first class service as always! Thank you so much.🥰

I was stopping here for the night and there’s no where else nearby so I tried out the restaurant. It was a nice meal. Staff were very chatty and I had the creamy garlic mushrooms followed by the steak pie, or steak pudding as they tend to call it around here. Generous portions and had to go for a lie down after.

Absolutely superb! We were greeted in such a professional and welcoming manner by nick”long beard” His manner was warm, friendly and very personable. Our room was ready early and we have stayed before and got the same room which had a lovely bay window. We had wine in the afternoon and cosied into one of the lovely lounge areas whilst nick kept a close eye on our drinks. We had dinner in the evening which was lovely and relaxing. Steak pudding and ham and spinach lasagne, both excellent, again, great service from nick long beard.Rooms are excellent, large and comfy beds. Breakfast was great too. Def recommend and will return👍 Thanks Nick, you made our stay more pleasant.

3rd visit this time chose the new garden room as thet have king size beds. all very nice .the only downside is when it raining getting to the resturant and bar .a covered walkway is needed as a brolly is no good when it blows a gale.also the lights back to the rooms on the paths and car park go out.evening meals good /breakfast so so/staff excellent

Great quality food and good service. Very nice setting a good selection of drinks and some really nice options on menu and specials board

A nice , clean, well kept restaurant. (With the exception of the self dimming lights ) The greeting was pleasant. We had a mixture of waiting staff from attentive to doesn’t want to be there. Chose liver and bacon which wasn’t badly cooked but was decidedly average (slightly overdone). My wife had lasagne in its own dish which came with garlic bread , chips (in a little frying basket my pet hate ) and salad. Again decidedly average. I think my problem is the setting and decor promised more than just fair pub grub.

Myself and my partner were staying in Edingthorpe for a few days and searched for somewhere to eat out locally. Discovered the Watford Bridge Inn which was just under 5 miles away As soon as we arrived we were impressed with the size of the place. Once inside we continued to be impressed This restaurant has such a lovely relaxed vibe, laid out with enough space between tables to be able to have a meal without overhearing other conversations, the menu was very varied and covered tastes for everyone (never seen such a variety on the dessert menu either). Our wonderful young waiter was very helpful and attentive and clearly cared about giving the best service (which is rare to see these days). Our meal arrived pretty quickly and tasted absolutely amazing. I had baby rack of ribs and my partner had turkey and ham pie which we both thought was outstanding. I was so delighted to have a throwback to the 70s for dessert with Black Forest Gateaux - one of my all time favourites which I’ve never seen on a menu these days All in all I can categorically say this was the best meal we’ve ever had for all the above reasons - so much so we rebooked whilst we were there for two nights later

Friendly and helpful staff good beer and the best steak pie I have ever Eaton. Fairly priced. Will be going back and will recommend to any one.

Stayed here for one night as we were visiting the area to pick up a puppy. We found the room ( we had a garden room outside the main building) to be lovely, clean and modern. Check in was quick and easy and directed to our room with no issue. Plenty of parking and it is set on a lovely site next to the river. We did eat here and found the food to be amazing with huge portions. I had Brie for starter and the wife had olives and bread. Unfortunately they had sold out of the beef stroganoff that evening so I opted for the fillet steak (rare) which was done to perfection and so large I could not finish it, never mind the chips, veg and onion rings that accompanied it. We were able to bill our dinner back to the room and just pay upon check out. Breakfast was also delicious and with good portions and although you didn’t help yourself to juice, cereal or toast, the staff were happy to oblige if you wanted more. There was plenty of choice on the “cooked” menu. All in all, if we were back in the area, we would stay again and recommend to friends. Found out it is also dog friendly!

Stopped off, on way back from the coast for lunch. Observed crazy waiter (with crown tattoo on his hand) upset the customers and us. He grabbed a lady’s glass of wine that she hadn’t finished. He puts his hands at the top of glasses when serving. Gross! He was verbally abusive to us when we changed tables. If he is new to the role, he will learn how to deal with customers. If he is experienced he needs a new job. He is bizarre! Food was ok. Alleya and older lady (presume manager) was friendly but he annoyed us, so we won’t return. His manner is rude, offensive and arrogant!

We have just had a brilliant four day stay at this great hotel. The hotel itself was very clean, tidy and welcoming. The staff were very helpful and attentive with a smile. The food was excellent with a wide selection on the menu. In fact we enjoyed our stay so much we have all ready booked for a longer stay next year. Rowland Whiskin and Bridget Dack-Daniels

Haven’t been here in the evening but certainly very busy at lunchtime Very pleasant clean interior.

More interested in someone hanging themself on the umberella string rather than the fact a paying guest had sat in chewing gum in their shorts whilst being there. Told a member of staff but was shrugged off.

We stayed for a few days at this Inn. Friendly welcome, lovely guest lounge. We were staying in a twin room near the front of the hotel. Room was spacious and clean - only downside being the very busy road at the front. We also had our evening meals here. The Inn had a large and varied menu which included plenty of options for vegetarians. The food was very good and a reasonable cost. Breakfast on the other hand was a little limited and rather average. It also seemed a little strange that we couldn't help ourselves to juice or cereal - although this probably stemmed from covid restrictions. The staff were all pleasant and helpful although quite a few of the waiting staff appeared to be very new to the job. The Inn is in a convenient location for the attractions of the Broads and if we were staying in the area would certainly consider coming back to the Inn for meals.

This was our third stay at Wayford Bridge Inn. Very comfortable and clean accommodation - large garden room - food really good - staff very friendly, always make our dog feel welcome - lovely relaxing stay yet again. Thank you to all at the Wayford Bridge. Ann Staveley and Kevin Jones

Excellent service, attentive staff, whole family welcomed and catered for in exemplary fashion. Steak to die for, cooked exactly as specified, blue, almost still mooing（╹◡╹） Children ate everything! Unusual, as normally they leave something, but they enjoyed their meals so much, almost licked the plates clean? Would recommend this restaurant again（╹◡╹）

Mostly great. Could have been better. We enjoyed the food. Was nice. Great onion rings. Service was hit and miss. Some servers very good and others slow and careless. Quite expensive too.

We stayed for a night away,the staff were amazing especially bearded Nick,he was do helpfully and made us feel so welcome. Room was clean and food was amazing x

July 25 -27 good size very clean appealing room. Comfortable lounge (parlours!) and restaurant areas. Very civilised. Parking easy and free. Staff all extremely welcoming and helpful. Food varied, plentiful and tasty. Also very good value. Shall be staying there again. Location lends itself for...

A friend and I stayed for one night as it was near to the boatyard where we were starting our trip on the Norfolk Broads the following day. Lovely hotel. The staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful, and the evening meal and breakfast were spot...

Stayed here for 5 days. Menu varied enough for me to have a different gluten free meal each evening.Above average pub grub

Staff rude, glasses dirty and stained, breakfast ridiculously overpriced for such a basic breakfast. £10 for HALF a piece of toast, 1 sausage, 1 bacon, egg, few cold mushrooms and tomato’s. A literal shot glass of orange juice was £1.50. Honestly in shock from the...

Stayed here overnight, had early evening meal and breakfast all very good. Our room was very clean and had easy car parking

Called in as we were passing and needed lunch, having our 2 little dogs we sat outside in the sun, we had the bacon and Bri panini each, food arrived in good time and was very tasty, the pub was clean and very presentable. My...

Good place for afternoon cuppa We ordered tea and cake, the new waiter struggled a little with the order as he was not English but he was charming. The pots of tea were ok and the cake was fantastic

Booked here for an overnight stay with dinner. A little disappointed that it was on a busy noisy road and from photos on website looked like it was on the edge of the riverside. It wasn’t. Online check in didn’t work and the staff seemed...

Just got home after a night's stay with my husband Brian. As always we were very happy with our room.After suffering a recent loss in the family we just came for a well deserved break away from everything at home.The hotel is set in a...

We enjoyed dinner on two occasions at the Watford Bridge Inn durning our recent holiday in Norfolk. I cannot recommend them highly enough. First off all the front of house team are outstanding, they are supper friendly, hyper attentive and perhaps the most child friendly...

We love this pub so much we always diver the boat so we can eat and drink here, they even have their own real ale and its fab. I always get the nachos with chilli beef and struggle to walk afterwards, the portions are so...

I chose this hotel as they were very helpful on the phone about gluten free menu. I booked a garden room and it was well presented and incredibly quiet, apparently these 2 blocks are soundproofed. Had breakfast and ate in all 4 days, good quality...

Stopped here as moored up just across the road whilst holidaying on the Broads. Staff weren’t that welcoming on arrival - as we hadn’t booked we were sent to the patio area and advised to come back to order. When we ordered the lady behind...

Don't bother. It was awful. Rude staff who acted like we were putting them out. The food was terrible, one main cold, another overcooked. Very basic.

We came to the Wayford Bridge Inn for dinner. We needed to ring up and change our booking time and the staff were very accommodating. Drinks arrived promptly, however we couldn’t order our choice beer as the barrels were being replaced. Just a suggestion, please...

When we arrived at the Inn for a three-night stay we found that bit stood next to a busy A road - a detail which the adverts had somehow forgotten to mention. So we were slightly apprehensive. We needn't have worried. Our room, in a...

Staff were polite and attentive. The food they served however was awful. The warm bread listed on the menu was actually wafer thin toast slices. The vegetables were soggy and mushy, and the mashed potato was sticky and resembled wall paper paste. The person who...

Stopped here for a meal with my elderly mother, while on holiday in the area. We were exceptionally well looked after by the staff. We were first directed to a table where my mother could sit in her wheelchair. When mum said she would like...

Decided to call in for breakfast so glad we did All the staff were really friendly and attentive had a nice table for two nice atmosphere and decor We both ordered the full English two eggs how you liked them,two bacon,sausage,fried bread,hash brown,beans,grilled tomatoe mushrooms,toast,orange...

Service was of a very high standard, friendly and attentive. Food was amazing, the burger was the best I’ve ever eaten. Good value for money too. Could not recommend enough. Thank you to all the staff.

This is our second visit whilst holidaying in the area and I recommend that you go. The service is impeccable, the food is good and reasonably priced. The surroundings are very tastefully decorated and it is a nice relaxed environment.

Must admit a much better experience than the previous. The lady manager is so good, she actually made the whole difference to the previous staff that dealt with us. Food great, waitress lovely and purchased room for brother in law and partner and they were...

Staff were pleasant. Service was good but a bit over attentive. They should allocate tables to staff to stop being asked to order 2 or 3 times by different waiters. Roast beef was overcooked and very dry with too much gristle. Very small portion. Vegetables...

Apart from staying the night, me and the wife stayed here for dinner and we had a delicious one. Our table was close to the fireplace and that was really good too. My ribs were amazing and so were the starters and pudding.

To celebrate our wedding anniversary we booked a 5 night stay at this gorgeous hotel. Our room was lovely, very spacious and clean, the hotel decor was very smart, and the whole atmosphere was so homely. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, and...

Went to have a nice meal, only allowed to sit in bar area as they won't allow in the restaurant until 7pm. Yet you pay full restaurant prices. Ordered steak, on my plate was a steak, chips and 2 onion rings. I questioned the waitress...

Great restaurant, great food, great service, great prices - will return :) Great atmosphere, great staff.

We stayed 4 nights including valentines night. We took our dog with us who was welcomed by the team and was spoiled. The room was spotless and had everything you needed, the public areas were cosy with little lounge areas. The breakfast was very good...

EXCELLENT excellent service as soon as we walked through the door. Two ladies super friendly made us feel so welcome and accommodated our every needs. We loved the food and cannot wait to go back!

Don’t even bother going in hear for a drink, Staff are unprofessional and rude! Apart from a Romanian waiter who was great! The others need some Customer service training! I could name one in particular but he’s not worth the mention! No wonder this place...

My husband and I booked for Sunday lunch. We both had the creamy garlic mushrooms for a starter,which were exceptional, my husband said the best he has ever had. I then had stew and dumplings, which was better than my mums and the beef just...

The seating is quite qwerky and fun, well behaved dogs allowed in and a good choice of food and daily specials. We visited twice during out visit to Norfolk and apart from some uncomfortable seats on the second visit it was great and we will...

The staff at this pub were really friendly and welcoming and they took great care of us and the other customers. The food is good solid pub grub but nothing special.

This was our third stay at Wayford Bridge Inn, and like the previous two stays excellent service, food, very comfortable. Me and my partner once again cannot fault the Wayford Bridge Inn. They go out of there way to make us feel at home and...

Stayed overnight in a reasonable room, a tad on the tired side. Staff OK, but food was boring and, to my mind, overpriced, probably all came from Brake Bros. Vegetables with main course just not eatable, altho was offered replacement, but frankly didn't have any...

The room was small and all the bedding was synthetic and uncomfortable. There was a sewage issue (not sure if temporary) which made it smell almost everywhere. The breakfast looked as though it had been under a heat lamp for some time and all ingredients...

Called in approx 7.15 pm midweek and enquired about a table. Car park was quiet and we could see several empty tables. Waiter slightly smugly advised he was very busy and no tables until 8.30.Other staff standing back looked bemused as did another couple sitting...

While staying locally, we visited this pub for a drink as a young family group of 6. With one exception, the staff were unfriendly and didn’t seem to want our custom. The pub feels like it is trying to be olde worlde but is too...

Fantastic food and service yesterday. We asked for a different table than the one we were taken to as our son has some additional needs and where we sit can be an issue for him. The waitress quickly read the situation and moved us. She...

We dined here at the recommendation of our friend, and the attentiveness and professionalism of the staff is at a level I'd expect from a boujie London eatery. Exceptional. The decor is nice and the atmo[shere relaxed: I had chinese noodles and my partner had...

I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. The decor inside was lovely and all areas were very clean. I have a food allergy and usually really struggle with any menu to have any choice but once they found out nothing was too much trouble and for...

This is our 4th visit to this wonderful friendly family run hotel. The accommodation very comfortable and clean , we had one of the new family rooms . We ate in the restaurant for evening meals which the food was excellent and the service was...

The service here was outstanding. Such a welcoming team and we were well looked after throughout. The god was also great

Great food , Great service, well worth a visit, the staff were superb and so helpful, i recommend the steak and kidney pudding.

Meals here are freshly cooked so take a while to be served but well worth waiting for. Highly recommended halloumi and mushroom burger and beer battered cod and chips along with beef lasagne.

Usually visit here every year, but with covid it has been 2 years since we last visited. Was told we had to sit outside, service not good at all. It was like everything was too much trouble. Ordered our food and drinks, it was a...

Prices have gone up. Quality and service has gone down. very disappointed. Not courtesy checked.!! On job training happening with no attention to customers.Almost as if we were invisible.

Lovely food, great staff. Can't fault anything. Ate there 5 nights while we were staying at the hotel.

Went there last Sept for a meal and it was absolutely fabulous, so as we were in the area decided to go back, we got there around 14.45 and placed our order, we sat there for 45 mins when eventually we asked to chase up...

We visited tonight and had a splendid meal, with excellent service. We prebooked and were able to take in our dog too, which made for a relaxed meal. Thank heavens for a restaurant that recognises that holiday makers in self catering accommodation with dogs cannot...

Have stayed here before about 5 years ago just after new owners had taken over, quite a few improvement's had taken place much to the benefit of the hotel, service was excellent, accommodation also, we were in room 16 very good proportioned room large shower,...

Met some friends for a Evening meal as they where staying at the hotel! Food was ok nothing outstanding and as we are locals found it was very pricey! Starters especially! Plenty of other nice little pubs in the surrounding area that do same meals...

Welcome back Wayford bridge!! Lovely afternoon brunch and coffee. We have missed coming to our local. As always good food and good laughs and chuckles. ☺☺

We were moored up at Wayford Bridge because we couldn't get under the bridge due to high water levels, and decided to try the Wayford Bridge Inn for lunch. The pub was really warm and welcoming and the food was equally good. It was our...

Nice place to stop to get a very tasty and filling lunch Staff very helpful and friendly, would recommend

My wife and I stayed for four nights this week, friendly welcoming reception, followed the covid 19 rules to the letter, we didn't mind in any way. Our room was in the ideal place where we could see the barges float by. The bed was...

The menu was exactly as shown in line, that's really helpful if you have fussyveaters. The choice was really good and some nice specials on the day Very good service and lots of space meant it felt very safe

We stayed at Urwins cottages opposite for two weeks so the restaurant here was a perfect location for our evening meals. We ate here about 10 out of 14 nights and were never disappointed. I have coeliac disease and the waiters and waitresses were very...

Visited here last night with my partner, lovely looking place and surroundings but, sadly the food was not so good. The staff were very friendly and efficient but the beef stew with dumplings was terrible. The dumplings were extremely hard and there was only two very small pieces of beef on the plate.We had intended going back today but found somewhere nearby which was 100% better. What a shame!

My wife and I booked a table for 2 as we were moored on the river very good covid measures in place all staff were wearing visors hand sanitizers at the entrance and a separate exit you have to wear a face mask until you are seated. We were seated by a gent called Jim an ausie chap with great customer skills made us feel very welcome I had the double stack burger with chips my wife had the fish and new potatoes and mushy peas all very well cooked and taste our only gripe was the gravy was a bit thin but tasted good overall a relaxed safe environment and would whole heartedly recommend

We were staying in the area and decided on the Wayford Bridge Inn for dinner. We were not disappointed the quality of both the food and the service was excellent, so much so we have booked again for tonight! All in all excellent value for money

Just had a great meal and our waiter was amazing All Covid rules are more than used which is fabulous in these nervous times. Food was good and we had a great afternoon thank you all We will return again

We managed to reserve a table on the recent bank holiday to make sure we could have a meal at this great location. Excellent meal and service. The steak pie and beef lasagne were particularly enjoyed.

Efficiently seated felt safe, a lady was sat at the wrong place at her table and she was politely asked to move and she was told why. The food was excellent, couldn't fault a thing. The staff were very thorough about my partners allergy.

Thank you so much from my family for making my Dads 80th Birthday a special day. Brilliant food brilliant service as always.

Really enjoyed the stay here. Comfortable facilities. Staff very friendly. Food excellent. Covid safe measures well-observed.

Brilliant vegetarian food, nice atmosphere. Definitely a good place to eat and drink. One of the best places to visit around Stalham

My parents were staying at the hotel and we came over for dinner. Poor quality food and the service was pretty poor as well. The lounge area was quite pleasant, my parents said the bed was comfy and that was about it.

Food very basic & small menu Staff not very polite however a ideal location garden area full of wasps so had to move inside whilst eating
