Red Hart Inn Bodham — Restaurant in North Norfolk

Booked a few weeks before for a spot of Sunday lunch on our way to a weeks break in North Norfolk. Arrived at 1.30pm, the time we had the table booked for, but it took a few minutes for it to be ready, not an issue. Got seated, but without any menus or asking for a drinks order. So after 10 minutes we asked for a menu and some drinks. Young server was extremely apologetic, stating that it was the second Sunday under new ownership, so they were a little overwhelmed. Understandable. Got our drinks after another 10 minutes and placed our order for 2 starters and three mains. Once we had finished our drinks after another 30 minutes we placed another drinks order, which we received at roughly the same time as our starters. Both starters were excellent, but by this time it was getting on for around an hour after the booking time, and we'd only received one course. Server said our mains would be out shortly, which they weren't. Another 30 minute wait, but again when the food came it was absolutely delicious. So once eaten it was gone around 3:30pm. Ordered one dessert for Dad, a shorter 20 minute wait for that (again, fantastic quality), but by the time we had finished it was gone 4pm. I rarely give negative reviews, and will happily state that the food was very very good, and the young lady was doing her very best to keep everyone happy. The other servers, who appeared to be the new owners, will need to correct the timing issues and follow in the young lady's example, as they seemed a little overwhelmed. But the food was absolutely wonderful, so worth a visit, just maybe give them some time to get organised...

Wow! We have just been treated to one of the finest Sunday dinners in a long time. We decided to share our 1st wedding anniversary at the Red Hart and it will take some beating. From the minute we walked in the atmosphere was so lovely. The staff had a little message board on our table wishing us a happy anniversary! ❤️ As this was the 1st Sunday under new ownership, we were hopeful the food would be exemplary, we weren't wrong. Grandma had the turkey, hubby had all the meats, I had the nut roast and lil man had sausage and mash! We ordered cauli cheese, marmite potatoes and pigs in blankets as sides. Honestly, it was incredible, epic nut roast, lil one said the mash was the best he had and hubby couldn't finish!!! The veg was perfectly cooked and I had veggie gravy too. Really impressed and can't wait to return. Will and staff were so lovely, Wills dad was our favourite tho, what a...

The Red Hart Inn in Bodham is exactly what you want from a proper country pub. It’s warm, it’s welcoming, and it has that timeless charm that makes you feel like you’ve stumbled into the heart of the village. The pints are kept beautifully, the food is hearty and comforting, and the locals are as much a part of the character as the beams on the ceiling.

It is the kind of place where you can drop in muddy from a coastal walk, sink into a chair, and feel at home within five minutes. The menu is classic pub grub done well, and the portions are generous enough to keep even the hungriest walker or cyclist happy.

Friendly staff, a cracking atmosphere, and a setting that oozes Norfolk countryside. If you’re after somewhere with real character and proper pub soul, the Red Hart is the...
