Wonderfully atmospheric little village pub. Food was ordinary, but extremely pleasant. The three of us who ate there were very satisfied. Having been once before during teh winter, the open fire was welcoming. And is dog-friendly. A really lovely pub for traditional food. And the pub is over 25 miles from home !!

Oh my goodness.. The nostalgia made my heart happy. The warmest welcome on a Sunday lunch time. All tables reserved which spoke volumes! Roast beef, so much meat on the plate left with no room for a desert which I was gutted about as by this point I knew they would all be home made. Will definitely be back ?

Lovely setting next to the old parish church. Traditional small, busy country pub with decent beers. Cider too and wines by the glass also. Properly sourced and cooked food. You can view over a service counter into the kitchen if you are curious. We ate and drank here for a delicious Sunday Lunch. No frills, a varied cook's limited real menu with our choice of a hearty roast beef meal followed by real home baked fruit puddings . Friendly service, a chat with the boss lady, all in the "ambience" of a popular venue for regular locals and visitors. Suitable for seeing tourists who will meet farming folk, landowners and usual mix of "Normal for Norfolk". A big family group including children were enjoying the home baked specials of mains of assorted pies . Be nice to old terrier, Daisy, because she cannot see and relies on scenting !

A splendid welcoming country pub. The beer is always good, the wine too; food is freshly cooked with good quality ingredients, plenty of veg. good selection and always tasty.. We always enjoy our lunches there, wish we could go more often.

Having read reviews and encouraged by ratings we decided to call in for lunch. On opening the door our nostrils were filled with the aroma of stale cooking oil. There were a handful, if that, of what we presumed to be locals in the bar area but no one in the dining area. With ratings as good as we’d read about you’d have thought someone would be visiting for lunch. Specials of the day and menu backed up the source of the aromas. It was very heavy on the fried options and nothing imaginative. Sorry guys but first impressions count. Suffice to say we did not stay.

Called in for a pint, this pub is very very rare in today’s society. The decor is traditionally tasteful to the old school. Let’s put it another way no pomp and ceremony if you get my meaning. To the traditional pub connoisseur this pub is a must. The beer is excellent and the food being served smelt wonderful and plenty. Worth tracking down.

Unusual free house pub serving good food at reasonable prices ?
We found this pub after visiting the excellent water gardens at nearby Gooderstone. It is simply a real gem of a country pub. Real ale, real cooked food, real warm welcome, dog friendly. Proper home cooked pies with a real crust. Well worth seeking out!
