Very Impressed.

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 10 Nov 2023
We visited this hotel for lunch as part of the Norfolk Restaurant Week. This is a limited menu at a set price. We use Norfolk Restaurant Week try try out new venues with a view to returning to those that impress and I must say this hotel really did impress. We shall definitely be returning in the near future.

My husband and I were staying for the weekend in Great Bircham. We had heard that the Kings Head were now doing meals again and so we booked for dinner on the Saturday evening. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, so much so that we booked again for lunch on the Sunday. We couldn’t fault the food at all - generous portions, quality ingredients and beautifully cooked. We’ve spread the word to our friends and will definitely be returning again.
Well done!

Thank you both so much for leaving a wonderful review about our restaurant. As we have only recently opened the restaurant back up it is so nice to hear excellent feedback from our guests and visitors that they are enjoying our food once more. It means a lot to us being a small family run hotel that you gave us 5 stars and we do really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review and we do hope you will come and visit us very soon.

I stayed here as a last minute business trip as a solo traveler.

The Kings Head Country Hotel is nestled in a beautiful village and in wonderful surroundings.

Big car park to the rear.

Staff were very welcoming on check in. Check in was seamless.

Bedroom was spotlessly clean and warm.

The food was delicious. Great choice and reasonably priced.

Would highly recommend staying and dining here.

This is one of the best hotel I have stayed, the staff go above and beyond, the breakfast is beautiful and cooked to order with a great selection and the rooms are beautifully decorated.
I highly recommend this beautiful hotel 5* from me.

Room tip: The Bar was closed early, but i think that was due to having no customer's.

We have stayed here several times before and always enjoyed our visit. However, on this occasion we felt that several things need attention.
To start with the positives, our room was large, nicely decorated and the bed very comfortable. We also had a sofa and armchair. The young man on reception when we arrived was very pleasant and welcoming.

Now for the negatives. They are still without a chef so no evening meals. We had already made other plans so did not affect us but there are no other eating places in the immediate area for those not wanting to venture out in the evening.
Breakfast left a lot to be desired. There seemed to be only 2 staff doing the serving and reception and they seemed very stressed. One said it was because everyone was coming down at the same time. Why not have a staggered system which a lot of hotels now have. You book your slot the night before.
I poured milk into my coffee and it immediately curdled. I asked for more and there was no apology, neither was I offered a fresh pot of coffee.
Service was definitely lacking as the 2 women seemed unable to cope.

We stay at money hotels and, for what they charge, they definitely need to up their game

I am so sorry to hear of your disappointing stay with us. I do apologise and wanted to let you know that we have had a major turnaround of staff since your visit last year. Our restaurant is now open 6 days a week for our guests and we have had great reviews about our breakfast so am so sorry you were not given the service you should have had. I do hope you will give us another visit in the near future. Kindest regards The Kings Head Country Hotel.

Last minute decision to go away for bank holiday w/e , we needed 3 rooms and this hotel came up so we booked it - it looked fine and we found it to be great , large clean rooms , friendly staff and probably the best breakfast we’ve all eaten in a long long time .
