British Restaurants in Dereham

“We visited The Lodge yesterday as a group of 11 and had an absolutely fantastic experience. From start to finish, the service was so warm and friendly – nothing was too much trouble, even with such a large group. The food was faultless, every dish was delicious, and it all arrived promptly. The restaurant itself was spotless and had a lovely, cosy pub atmosphere that made us feel really welcome. We couldn’t have asked for a better meal out and will definitely be returning.”

“In a last minute attempt to get a roast dinner on our unexpected travels we quickly searched a place that was en-route. Poringland and the Railway Tavern popped up and we are glad it did. They managed to squeeze in our family of four. With only quickly scanning a few photos we arrived and got parked in the ample car park. A little nervous on entry as to the mixed era of building with worn, paint aging wooden doors that reminded me of my great Nan’s council flat doors. Inside we were greeted with a vibrant bustling atmosphere in a dated, no frills but familiar and welcoming place that has some modern touches and some older flint and stone worked areas. We were given our table number and sat down. Looking at the menu we were pleased to see a good range of roast dinners at varying sizes at reasonable prices. Our drinks order was taken and it was refreshing to get an efficient table service in a time were that seems to becoming more rare. The food was good with plenty of meat and veg that both adults and the kids lapped up except for the cauliflower cheese which for some reason they didn’t enjoy. The only criticisms would be where the lamb was quite rare some of it made for a jaw boot camp with its chewiness. The chicken also a little dry but moistened with gravy and all still went down the hatch. Overall a great value family meal in a popular restaurant with service I felt compelled to leave a tip for. I’m sure we’ll be back at some point.”

“Fantastic food, all homemade, very reasonably priced. Here on holiday and it was a lovely friendly atmosphere. Would definitely be regulars if we lived here.”

“Wasn't overly impressed with the food but a lovely seating area for the warmer weather and the staff were good”

“Always lovely, sometimes make mistakes or a bit of a wait but always fix quickly. The best in Dereham for sure.”

“Next door to Dereham windmill, we had sandwiches, scones, tea and cake whilst watching a play by the windmill. The food was great. Toilets good too. There are picnic tables too.”

“No food, but lovely atmos, got a pool table with a decent cloth, bar staff are friendly... decent selection of beers on tap, and the prices are not extortionate. Decent pub... there's a chippy over the road if you were hungry after a couple of pints :)”

“Really enjoyed our recent visit to The Gemini. The staff are friendly and very accommodating, they go out of their way to ensure your dining experience is enjoyable. The food was delicious and we will definitely return.
Always busy at the weekends for food so tells you something!
Thank you ?”

“I am coeliac and they were very helpful with my gluten free order. The chips were deliciously and the staff were brilliant. Would recommend for coeliacs and non coeliacs!”

“Not one for posts but I have to say what a great local you have here, we rolled in on our last night of our holiday in Norfolk and we was so happy with our choice. What a great welcoming pub with lovely food, thank you to the chef for staying on for us. We wish you all the best for the future and so hope to visit again ❤️”
