An amazing place. It is not pretentious at all but welcomes everybody. The staff are friendly, chatty and eager to please. It's a welcome local stop for nibbles and cocktails/drinks and has a menu that should suit all tastes. We've enjoyed several very good dishes. I'd recommend it for a thoroughly relaxed experience.
All in a nice venue. Although the pub is probably as old as time it has been modernised to a high standard. My room (3) was very comfortable. The only niggle is that the extractor fan in the ladies toilet below makes a terrible racket as it is immediately below this room. Good ales, good food and a lovely breakfast. NB: No parking, just street parking but its a quiet village and you are almost certain to find a spot.
We stayed here for just one night for a wedding near by. As all i can say is that I wish we had more time to have spent a few more nights. The hotel shows so much character. The rooms were so beautiful, warm and cozy. The character of the pub/ hotel carried throughout. Our room had so much space great sized bathroom with a great power shower. Beds were very comfortable, bedding of high quality. Did not want to get up!!! Was met by two lovely girls for breakfast and nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended Kings breakfast 👌. Will definitely be back to stay if for no other reason than to enjoy the warm welcome and the beautiful rooms.
First time I've been. Decided to give it a try with some friends for lunch. Very nice interior, 'proper pub'. No fancy frills, happy hour ect. Staff super friendly and attentive. All our meals were lovely and reasonably priced. Well worth the 30 minutes drive from Norwich. Will return.
First time for my Wife and I and we were checking it out for a potential Christmas day venue. Arriving, it's not immediately obvious where the front door is and we followed somebody in via the toilets!!! Once at the bar, we were met with a distinctly average greeting and ordered a drink. We explained that we had a reservation and were shown to the dining room. The table for 2 was tiny and poorly positioned, far too close to the adjacent tables. I physically moved the table just to get sat down. Anyone who likes or needs a little extra space is going to struggle. Slow service was the theme for the rest of the experience. Sunday lunchtime and therefore it had to be a roast dinner, once again it was slow to arrive. Plonked on the table with no offer of sauces or condiments. No return to the table to check how we were. Very slow to clear the plates after making it obvious that we had finished. After delivering a pudding menu, the slow approach continued and this time, we changed our minds and opted for the bill. Once again, after waiting several minutes, we had to ask for the card machine and eventually we paid for the meal. At this point, we made the difficult decision not to leave a tip. The most disappointing part of the experience was that the food was actually very good indeed. Hot plates, hot food, plenty of it and all cooked very well. A really good size portion and very tasty. It was just delivered with such impersonal service where you were never made to feel truly welcome. Just a dining number. The decision is, it's not the place for us to spend a hard earned £70 per head on Christmas day. We may well return on a different day and give them a second chance. We all have off days right?? The 3 stars are for the exceptional food, get the service on point and it will be 5 stars all day long.
