Excellent small campsite on lovely kept field. The pub is full of rustic charm. Meals are good with generous portions. Beer well kept good choice.
First visit. Enjoyed a Sunday lunch here, very nice meal but took a while to get food which is the only reason I gave 4 stars. Could've been because it was a Sunday. We all enjoyed our meal in very nice surroundings with very pleasant staff. Will definitely be going again but probably during the week.
Had Sunday lunch yesterday, and wow, absolutely fantastic. We went large but didn’t need to. Plentiful portions, hot and well presented. Service was excellent, will definitely be back
The very best welcome and lovely staff!! A lovely home cooked roast and I mean home cooked no pre brought produce. Lovely setting amazing food nice atmosphere!! Booked for pre Xmas lunch and will he back prior to that! Lovely lovely afternoon with grrrreat food! Thank you!
What a gem! A beautiful place, excellent staff, immaculately clean and fabulous menu. The food was delicious, the calamari and chicken wings were full of flavour and my gourmet beef burger was probably the tastiest beef burger I’ve had! Sorry, I was so engrossed in my delicious food, I can’t remember what mains my partner had! But I know they were impressed. Definitely a place we will be returning to on our visits to Norfolk!
A truly lovely place to stay! Very reasonable prices and decent pitches. Lovely helpful staff, very considerate and welcoming. Toilet and showers are lovely and clean. Lovely children's playground and plenty room for children to run their energy off in the big field. Had a wonderful family meal in the pub. Generous portions, great quality, well presented food with plenty options for everyone and pleasantly surprised by really reasonable prices. Highly recommended
Visited with dogs. One rescue who was having a bad day, staff were so superb and even took time to help overcome his fears before we left. We were so grateful. We deliberately visited at a quiet time. Food was superb. Portions abundant and was so full I couldn’t fit in dessert. Will be back. Beer choice great. Atmosphere welcoming. Loved the decor.
Had a lovely Christmas dinner Friday night cheese souffle was lovely and cheesey, and the Mushroom pithivier we excellent, my husband enjoyed his turkey dinner, staff were friendly and helpful. Excellent accessibility for anyone in a wheelchair
