The best restaurants serving British food in South Norfolk East of England

First time I tried this place,was pleasantly surprised at how friendly the staff were,some lovely choices off cakes and some great looking sausage Rolls.I had a bacon and sausage sandwich with side salad which was lovely,nice to see they use proper thick and soft bread.The only downside which isn’t that bad was that there was no salad cream only mayonnaise for the salad.

Lovely little cafe. They were just closing the kitchen when we five cyclists turned up, and stayed open to provide baked potatoes all round. Great food, nice people.

A wonderful meal! What a treat! Perfectly presented and cooked. We didn't know what to expect but were delighted with everything which we ordered. We cant wait to go again to try more of the specialities on offer! Don't be put off by the lack of prices on the website - that was another surprise, and great value for money. Fellow Norfolk diners you are missing out! Wonderful food at very reasonable prices in comfortable surroundings - We loved it. Thank you to all concerned.

Excellent cafe! I had the gc big breakfast it was amazing and the price was really good too! I can highly recommend this cafe

The staff were very friendly and the cream tea was excellent, so nice to see a business supporting adults with different needs giving them a real purpose and a chance to excel

Such a find , delicious food with freshly cooked vegetables , the service is 100% too

Absolutely superb Sunday lunch. We’ve dined many times here and it’s always excellent. Today was flawless in every way. The menu is full of tempting and delicious choices, our starters were scotch egg and scallops. My wife had the roast chicken and I had the pork, accompanied with a lovely and generous selection of vegetables. Raspberry Bakewell tart was the perfect dessert. You could not fault the food in any way. Attentive and friendly service from the whole team. You will not have a better dining experience anywhere better. Well worth a visit.

We would like to thank the staff for making our groups Christmas meal such a lovely experience. Looking forward to 2025. All the best to everyone from Geoff & Jayne Lanchester Court.

Lovely country pub. We requested a short notice booking for 16 of us for a 40th birthday and Sonia and her team couldn’t have been more accommodating. Even putting up a birthday banner. Thank you so much, food was lovely and we will be returning.

I can’t really comment on the rooms. Just to say for anyone in the area on business at the local business park, considering breakfast beforehand, The Bird in Hand was great this morning. Opened the Restaurant at 0800, a pleasant young lady was welcoming to non guests. All sorted, breakfast done, off to my 0900 meeting. Good quality breakfast and Great service. Sorted 👍🏻

Very disappointed. Arrived Monday evening for a 4 night stay for work. When I was shown to my room it was instantly obvious the heating had not been on. It's mild for the time of year but it's late autumn so would expect a little warmth. The member of staff said they would need to override the heating to turn it on. So I sat tight for about 15 minutes, still no warmth to the radiators. I work outside so fortunately I was dressed warmly. I returned to the reception twice but clearly unable to rectify the heating. I understand that sometimes things go wrong but it's the way you deal with the problem. The extent of this was "I've done what I can" obviously expecting this would a satisfactory resolution. I stay away for work on a regular basis and I had a similar situation which was resolved when they brought a heater to my room and the offer of breakfast in the morning. I was made to feel like I shouldn't be continuing with the issue. I decided to leave as the room was just too cold. Very poor experience considering this is hospitality.

Very nice place with exceptional food and service

My Granddad, Ron Henery (R.I.P.), wouldn’t settle for anything but Lims. I’ve been coming here since I was a lad, barely tall enough to see over the counter. Every time I visit Loddon, it brings back cheerful memories. The chips are excellent, and the fish is, without a doubt, the best by a country mile.

We came on 14/10/24 for a family wake. Mandy and Simon did an amazing job of making the room welcoming and accommodating us with all our wishes. The service and food were of excellent quality with a very fair price and there was plenty for all. It was so nice that even the cakes were iced in the favourite colours of our late family member, not requested but we felt was such a lovely added touch. Thank you Mandy and Simon, we would definitely recommend you.

The food was amazing , everything was cooked beautifully and the staff were very attentive and informative . Amazing value for a set 2 or 3 course with just the right size menu to choose from . You know if a menu is too vast it’s not doable for the chef to be all his own work . Thank you everyone . We had a lovely evening
