    Overnight stay for family occasion
    A close family member passed away in Thetford and a few of us from Birmingham booked an overnight stay in the hotel on the day of the funeral. Although it was a sad time the hotel and staff made it memorable all for the right reasons. The room was lovely, clean and very…

    Breakfast Walk-in
    Looking for an early breakfast venue after a long drive we stumbled across this lovely inn. With parking outside and open from 7, it couldn’t be more convenient. The staff were really pleasant, particularly our waitress Lynda, who was incredibly bubbly and attentive. Our…

    Lovely old hotel but disappointing!
    There is a lot right about this hotel but unfortunately a lot wrong. The staff are for the most part very helpful and welcoming. The bedroom was large with a big bathroom. It was in the old part of the hotel. The decor throughout the hotel is tired and needs a refurbishment. We…

    I know you do wedding receptions but do you do wedding receptions with just a buffet not a sit down meal .As we need a venue for a wedding reception the wedding is at 3pm so we would need venue from maybe 4pm onwards with a buffet and disco and stuff plus the bride and groom would have a room too for the wedding night.ty mrs hodges
    Yes we do. You will need to get in touch with the Functions and Events coordinator to get more details.

    We are on our 6th New years mini break with old english (Green King). I know the packages are not available till may so can you please answer the following. 1. did you do a new years deal at the Bell last new year?? 2. If so did you have a buffet or small menu?? 3. If so did you have entertainment?? We are a party of 8 and have visited the Roebuck for the past 3 new years, looking for a change of venue . If you answer you will be getting a visit from us soon to check out the rooms and restaurant thanks Jim.
    You advertise a Golden Years menu in large letters when we wanted it on the Saturday before Mothers day we were refused.. it was only when we closely studied the Poster outside that we saw in very small print that it only applied Mon/ Wed. AS one drives or walks past this is not apparent and I think is deceiftful and dishonest. PLEASE PUT THIS RIGHT>
    "Ask for rooms 29 or 30"
    "Old part of the hotel is more characterful but stairs may pose slight difficulty for the less agile."
    "Room 8 above back door of pub and noisy late on."
    "Quieter rooms are located overlooking the canal."
    "Dont have a room overlooking the river"
