We’ve been coming here for years with our MX5 car club. They’ve always been very accommodating. Me and my wife booked in for a meal Friday night. The food was absolutley gorgeous, the service was quick and the staff were amazing! They couldn’t do enough...for you! Good food, great staff, a truly wonderful country pub and restaurant.More

Warm, welcoming & accommodating reception despite having no advance booking. Disappointingly average food at surprisingly high prices with quantity over quality of overly large portion sizes of ubiquitous ingredients. We ordered three starters, two mains (one without chips still over facing us!) & two puds...between three covers. Squid described as “stringy”, Asian dipping sauce “more fishy tasting”:than expected with a vegetarian’s Tempura Veg choice, Satay Chicken had a bite & was well cooked. Salad bases fresh & appealing. Chicken Burger “nothing special”, Wrap well stuffed with meat but “less firecracker more mayo” dressing carried less punch than the satay. Puds hearty - melting choc fondant the only reasonable sized portion on the table & sticky toffee slab (half the size & half the price would’ve felt more manageable!) with lashings of sauce & custard too much to handle. Two no n alcoholic drinks with two coffees still set us back £80! On the plus size Staff were all charming & cheerful - a special mention to our server on his first day & the lovely lady effortlessly running front of house. Thank you.More

A friendly welcome from the staff , very polite and all of them couldn’t do enough for us , we ordered and when the food arrived couldn’t believe the size of the plates the steak and ale pie a definite recommend to all , would...like to say a big Thankyou to all , in the society we seem to live in nowadays everyone finds it easy to criticise and not to praise so please take a big pat on the back for the team for making it such an enjoyable experience regards Paul wilkinMore

Being new to Norfolk after recently relocating from Kent, three of us wanted a local place for lunch which could allow our small dog and The Bird in Hand fitted the bill. Food was lovely, staff were friendly and we had a great time. Thoroughly...recommended and will return.More

Amazing steak and ale pie the best I have ever had coupled with a friendly welcome on my arrival and excellent service throughout

Lovely guest rooms with everything you would need. Conveniently located just a few minutes from Lotus HQ Beautiful beer garden for the sunshine, excellent quality of food but what stood out most for us during our stay was the fantastic service, friendly and welcoming staff...who despite being super busy have always got time to help and chat. Jan is wonderful and had a great sense of humour which made us feel at home. Thank you Jan & Jo for going above and beyond in helping us out. Matthew & AmandaMore

The food has gone downhill quite a bit so assume they have changed cooking staff or the love of food has gone. 1. The Steak and Ale pie should be renamed the pastry pie; so little steak in the pie and the pastry was virtually...inedible being a mix of solid hard pastry with soggy undercooked dough crust. 2. The steak although tender had very little flavour as it was drowned in a 'Bisto' style packet gravy hence the comment about the chef changing. 3. Vegetables were inconsistently cooked, carrots cooked to death while describing the broccoli as al dente would be understating its rawness. Again little flavour 4. Seafood Linguini was again more linguine and a ridiculous large portion ration of the pasta to little seafood content. Presumably to maximise profit. 5. Best looking food was the salad, but thats really hard to mess up, but again miserable portions of protein packed out with cheap salad. I small slice of salmon and some tinned shrimps which lacked flavour apart from salt. 6. Uninspiring winelist with huge mark ups from wholesale costs. Positive notes The bar staff and waitstaff were attentive and helpfulMore

Have visited here recently 3 times once for a drink once for an evening meal with my husband & once for Sunday Roast with my family All three times amazing and great value atmosphere and service Highly recommend

5 of us visited for a family celebration meal. Service was excellent. The staff were all attentive and made sure we were well looked after. Menu was huge with lots of choice for all. I’m gluten free which was no problem. I enjoyed a crispy...beef in tempura batter on a bed of oriental veg and rice with sweet chilli dressing. Wine choice was great and well chilled. Highly recommend.More

A great restaurant hidden away in the Norfolk countryside. A large carpark, extensive menus and large portions. Highly recommended

Great breakfast couldn't fault it and good service and good value for money, will definitely be going backMore

Friendly, attentive staff. Excellent food. We had roast beef dinner. The tenderest, succulent beef. Warm plates and hot food. Thank you.
