Pubs in Dereham

“Great food and service. Can recommend the Istanbul mixed as shown in the photo. The lamb and chicken were both tender and the rice nice and moist.
We shared the baklava with ice cream, delicious ?
Also priced very fairly. Looking forward to a return visit.
Worth noting that your table is available for 1hr 45, more than ample time really.”

“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.”

“We didn't eat there. Nice atmosphere, Service very friendly, excellent real ale.”

“We’ve just returned from a few days staying at this lovely warm & friendly pub!
The Pub felt very warm and welcoming, we found Trevor & Karen charming and nothing was too much trouble!
When we arrived it felt like a traditional pub and we received the warmest of welcomes from all the staff during our time there.
We had several fantastic meals all prepared by Trevor and I must say his breakfast is wonderful!
Our room was spotlessly clean with everything you need for a lovely comfortable break away, surprisingly quiet considering you’re above a pub!
The location of the pub was also great because it’s right next door to Thetford train station so we managed to jump on the train and visit Norwich!
I personally would highly recommend Trevor’s Reef & Beef meal, cooked to perfection and served with a smile (the best steak I’ve ever tasted!).
We were lucky enough to find on Saturday evening the pub had live music and a BBQ in the garden, the band Kill me Kate were great and again the food was fantastic, the atmosphere all evening was great.
We’ve never visited Thetford before but after chatting to Karen & Trevor we found lots of new places to explore.
We can’t wait to return to explore some more!”

“Staff and punters are very friendly and welcoming. They're very dog friendly. Chilled atmosphere. Great place!”

“Friendly staff, nice old English pub set in the countryside, but it happens to cook some of the best Thai food I’ve ever eaten, the chili beef was very fragrant and spiced well, and also the Pad Thai with prawns was delicious ?”

“Excellent evening meals. 6 different meals and all v v good.. Tasty and resonably priced, with great service and fab atmosphere. Went to Nelson at Burnham Thorpe two days later and Kings Head was by far the winner !”

“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 :)”

“No food but a cracking wet pub!

The barman was very professional and he popped my hernia back in which was kind of him.

You can get a handful of loose mini eggs for 20p – proper inflation buster.”
