The best restaurants in Breckland East of England

Feedback for Room 1 in this hotel. Pros: Quick check-in Big room Comfy bed (even though there was folded cardboard beneath the legs of the bed) Nice view out of window Friendly staff (mostly) Breakfast buffet + cooked breakfast was delicious Cons: Very dated decor in general Mouldy dead wood on the window ledge TV smart features do not work Dodgy key lock Plumbing issues (temperature of shower does not regulate) Damaged pipes in bathroom No window left open for my arrival (scorching hot day) HEATING WAS ON FULL when I arrived No 3 pin sockets beside bed! Not good for people with Sleep Apnoea I really feel like this place rests on its laurels somewhat, given Thetford is the home of Dad's Army, with the Bell (Greene King) hosting the Dad's Army cast in the late 60s and 70s. I think Greene King know this and assume guests won't care - but we do. I liked the Dad's Army touch in and around the pub. However, overall, not great value for money in my opinion.

Lovely food , initial confusion over menu . Menu printed on the table as well as in on paper!! Confusion was soon forgotten when the food turned up!! Very very good

Really nice food , and my wife really rated the vegi burger with lots of salad. Also they fry in rape seed so all good for vegetarians. Fish was large and chips were loverly. Will be revisiting.

Sunday Lunch for 5 as a last minute idea, we decided to go local. Despite living less than 10 miles from Great Hockham, I had never been to the village and a charming place it turned out to be. The food was traditional pub grub and the portions huge. Service was great and friendly and the meals fantastic. Unfortunately due to a upcoming holiday to Portugal we were all not drinking bar one of our number but we will make up for that at our next visit as there was a good choice of ale, which the locals seemed happy with! Well worth a look!

Called in on off chance. We were immediately made to feel welcome including our dog. My partner had a special cocktail for Valentine's, which was super, so much so, she had a second. We both had a starter which was excellent. Good selection of wines. Will definitely be back. Pubs like this need our support in these times.

Really good Sunday roast. Both the restaurant and the outdoor seating are nice and very spacious. The food was tasty, with good options and portion sizes

Cold calling me, Never been to Thetford or this establishment so don't know why they are cold calling.

Firstly conduct an internal study of where your branch cafe stands against that of your other branches . Up amongst the top 5 ! Wow Pretty impressive considering some of those branches are larger and in more affluent areas , yet a branch in a small market town n Norfolk is giving them a run for the money . Even more surprising in light of said small town already having 10 other eateries offering breakfasts including a Greggs . So what is it we are doing right and what can we do to b@lls it up ? We know we are not the cheapest , in fact apart from one with similar prices we’re the most expensive and yet these pesky customers keep coming to us . So we need to find out why . Right , we now know that our cafeteria staff are hard working , dedicated and friendly . What’s more we are told by their loyal regulars that they create a market street ambience a world apart from the usual faceless , soulless and sterile corporate canteen . Oh my God it’s even worse than what we first thought . It seems that both our front of house and kitchen staff know a big percentage of our customers by name . This is terrible because we can’t do anything about this , how will we ever ruin our cafeteria trade at this rate ? O.k , let’s not panic yet , what other reasons are there for this dreadful scourge of constant unwanted repeat trade ? We know it’s not our pricing mmmmm🤔 EUREKA ! Quality ! we are burdened with an established brand reputation for quality . Well that’s easy to destroy . What’s our most popular breakfast ? Full English you say . Again , far from the cheapest in town but not swimming in grease , beautifully cooked with our own sausages , eggs and so forth and cleanly presented . Yum , yum . Right , get that off the menu for a start . Wait a minute though , our sausages and bacon in a crusty rustic roll are far too popular by half . I’ve got it , let’s replace them with those disgusting little pre made up numbers that you ping in the grotty little plastic bags they come packed in . You know , the ones that look and taste like they’ve been run over by a steam roller or have come out of a skip behind a motorway service station They come out with a chewy texture and a strange uniform non taste , a combination of the sausages which taste like bread to begin with , and the plastic bag a percentage of which leaches into the so called food . Guys give me my bonus now , we can make the sausages half the size of the originals and charge the same price 😁👍 That’s the way to do it 🤮 Unfortunately I can’t separate the star rating to give the caff staff what they deserve which is 5 stars and more besides . Even now they’re professionalism compels them to try and put a spin on it but I suspect they are not happy with the these clueless and ill thought out changes . Many years ago I worked in the food and retail industry and remember a time before accountancy thinking . Those were the days where the industry was customer lead and the supplier would react to their likes and supply them accordingly and still produce a healthy profit . Yet another example of less for more and stuff the consumer .

A warm welcome followed great service and excellent quality Sunday lunch (Yorkshire Puds to die for).. well done Scooby and team.

Fantastic fish & chips Beautiful people very satisfied on the food services and the service that I received and I rate this food to all the public.

Lovely carvery. Staff amazingly friendly. Plenty of space between tables. Very varied menu. Worth a visit when in Dereham

Changed review as the owner corrected the problem and service that we received.

Wait time was 40mins-hour long. Breakfast menu finished at 11:00. Lunch menu very limited, about £15 for a sandwich. Was served with a dirty knife, spoon, coffee mug and there was something orange floating in the milk! Also ordered a filter coffee and did not receive the cafertiere. Drinks didn't arrive until after finishing the meal. Ordered pancakes which had too much baking power in it - could tell as it tasted funny. Serving staff seen petting dogs then serving food. Overall, do not recommend for lunch, go service station McDonalds instead.

I am 21years old and I have been sent back to my car for my ID for a small breakfast I had my car keys in my hand and have tattoos . I am outraged that you have to be over the age of 16 for a breakfast in this day in age
