Went for a birthday celebration - Poor food, over priced, poor service. Sadly place gone down hill. I would not recommend anymore.

Over priced in general. 3/4 “specials” unavailable. Over cooked food. Staff have poor knowledge of the menu.

A married couple travelling to the East Coast, Dereham was the mid-point so we dropped in at The Lodge. Immediately we were struck by how clean and tidy the place is. Despite it being a Tuesday lunchtime, we were served quickly and shown to a table by a very knowledgeable and pleasant young lady, who took our drinks and food orders efficiently. We were slightly dismayed to note there are no light-bites or a lunchtime menu on offer, it's full-size dinner portions only. We hoped it wouldn't spoil our dinner booking later... The food took a few minutes to arrive, but it was obvious both chef and staff are very proud of their product as the food was beautifully prepared and ate every bit as well as it looked. Your reviewer had the vegetable lasagne while my wife had the chicken tempura. The bill reflected both the portion sizes and the quality; this is no bad thing, it's reassuring to be asked to pay for quality like this. Go here for excellent food a with good friendly service, but do ensure it's your only main meal of the day.

Great food excellent service. Nothing was to much trouble. We were sat in the bar area as we had our dog with us. They even cooked some chicken for our dog so that she could have some food with us.
Sunday roast for party of four, beef was lovely and tender with fresh sides, all agreed it was excellent food. Service is prompt polite and timely, we will certainly be returning.

Very popular 'local to me' restaurant and pub. Great atmosphere sometimes a little noisy, never silent and dead like some places. Food is great especially the steak which has so much flavour I often do not eat the sauce and find I have finished the steak long before the rest of the plate. On this occasion I had sweet chilli sauce wings, rack of ribs and creme brulee, the rack was big! . Other choices are also great with the only problem being which item to choose from the menu. I really struggle to eat three courses here as the portions are generous and delicious meaning sometimes you just can't leave space for desert. I find it good value and good service, never rushed but with we'll timed visits from serving staff. The parking is easy with a generous well surfaced car park and no big puddles in the rain. There is also a shop here but I have never been in as its closed in the evening. Location is close to the A47 on the quiet 'B1147' road from Dereham to Lying, just a mile or two outside Dereham, Norfolk. I recommend phone ahead and book a table.
