The best restaurants serving British food in East of England

Brilliant value for money and the food is epic. Service flawless. Atmosphere is lovely too. Visited here several times now and have never been disappointed. Happily will recommend and will defo be returning.

We had such a lovely lunch great roast lamb. We were looked after by Chris who is such a legend. He was very accommodating.

Had been here for a drink and snack last year and always meant to come back and check out the restaurant. Did so today and was not disappointed. The menu is interesting enough to have something on it to suit most tastes and the prices are very reasonable by todays' standards. The food did take quite a while to appear after ordering but, do you know, we did not mind at all as it was very comfortable sitting in the cosy ambience of an increasingly rare 'proper pub' with the sun streaming through the windows - the real ale was good and I was offered a welcome top-up at the table! As it turned out, the food when it arrived was well worth waiting for, generous portions and perfectly cooked and presented on really warm plates - so full marks to the kitchen. Already looking forward to our next visit.

Shame about the negative reviews. We went for Sunday lunch (12 of us) and as always the meals were superb. Hot. Plenty of choice. Plenty of vegetables. We have made this a regular place to eat not just at weekends but during the week and have never been disappointed with the meals or the friendliness of the staff

My father passed away yesterday, so I rang the Woolpack to arrange for a funeral tea for fifty people. The initial call with a young lady was pleasant enough, but she wasn’t sure about being able to pay and have the menu upgraded (currently £9.95 per head) She asked us to wait whilst she spoke to the chef - ‘Richard’ - to see if this was possible. We overheard their conversation. The lady told him what we wanted - a funeral tea - and that we’d like to know if we could upgrade. He said to her “You get what you get. That’s it”. She asked if he would talk to us and he said no, but after she pleaded with him, he came to the phone. He was awful. We won’t be having our wake there, nor will EVER use this pub - our local - again.

Owner is quite rude, selection of beer is fairly average. The food is quite obviously defrosted and overall it’s nothing to get excited about.

This place is an absolute joke! The kitchen manager has no idea what he's doing and lying to residents about when they can eat - 1:45pm today we were refused lunch saying they stopped at 2 and only do light bites after but they wouldn't even do that and said sandwiches only! Bear in mind this restaurant is for the elderly that need a nice hot meal - what place stops serving hot food at 1:45 even though all menus were still on table - manager didn't care

Después llegó ayer como residente, me quedé muy impresionado por el memorial de guerra. Es un recordatorio del sacrificio fuerzas conmovedores británico sufrió.

Fantastic service, and the manager is the best. Great atmosphere. Good brill. Highly recommend.

Had a great cocktail master class with David. Fantastic drinks. Thanks folks

A fabulous pub run by fabulous people

We walked from Burnham Overy Staithe to Holkham, intending to have a quick pint at The Victoria before catching the bus back. Unfortunately you can't do this any more as they have closed the bar. We did have two small but delicious tapas in the restaurant along with a glass of wine and a beer, but it seemed expensive at £34. So the place is great for a posh lunch, but in future we will walk from Holkham to Burnham Overy and have a pint at the Hero.

Absoulute spot on.. very very friendly staff, espicially Salim, went out there way to help, service excellent, food excellent very tasty, big selection and staff super quick assistance. Recommend highly

Die Damen hinter der Bar waren unmotiviert und offensichtlich unfähig verständliches Englisch zu sprechen. Customer Service ist ein Fremdwort für die Damen. Sie machen es auch zu kompliziert mit den Tischnummern im oberen Stock. Ihr ungehobeltes Benehmen ist einfach nur lächerlich und in Norwich ungewöhnlich aggressiv. Das Essen war lauwarm und es war kaum Fleisch vorhanden im Tikka Masala.

Went for a meal with our small dog whilst on holiday. They don't take bookings, had hoped they may make an exception as I was in a walking boot and on crutches and explained we'd be walking from our cottage so wanted to ensure it wasn't a wasted walk. They didn't - to be fair we did get in as was quiet. Told on arrival at 8.05 that they only do fish n chips after 8. We weren't told this earlier, but meal was decent. However "dog friendly" is not an accurate description. Our small dog tried to get on my lap and I asked if he could sit on the seat if I put him on his own blanket - landlord said no and claimed he didn't make the rules. Who does then? , but ok, fair enough. We then asked them to put some water in our dogs travel bowl. We were told only if he goes outside to drink it , as they don't want dogs sloshing water everywhere! I have never heard anything so ridiculous! It's a pub, spillages happen - and it was a hard tiled floor. What happens if someone spills a pint I wonder! We later in our trip went to the white horse and the manor hotel, which are more upmarket, and they were truly welcoming of us and our dog. In fact our dog tipped his water bowl over on the carpet in the manor hotel bar and they just said - oh no problem, don't worry. Will not return as we didn't feel valued as customers and our dog was tolerated, rather than welcomed.
