Landlord 'Dave' . Nothing was too much trouble. The kitchen was unfortunately closed the evening we went in, but Dave suggested getting a takeaway to be delivered to the pub and take back to the lodge where we were staying. We ended up ordering from The Poachers PH via the Just Eat app, and had it delivered to The Bluebell. If it's Chinese food that you fancy, Dave had the name of one to offer us. Whilst we were waiting for the food delivery, we had a few drinks. The food arrived and Dave kept it warm wrapping it in foil for us and putting it into a large bag u til we were ready to leave. A rugby match, and a pint or two each later, we took our bag of food over to the lodge we were staying. Dave and the locals offered a really warm welcome. I'd recommend The Bluebell to anyone staying in the vicinity to make good use of this homely, local pub/restaurant. Two TVs either side of the bar played the rugby and afterwards, some music. The decor is cosy with a sectioned off restaurant area. Brass ornaments adorned the fireplace with soft lighting inside the fireplace making them a focal point. I'd put money on each of those pieces having a story of its own to tell. Talking of money, the prices were very reasonable. There are a couple of games machines if you want to try your luck at a general knowledge quiz. Thanks The Bluebell. I'm sure we'll be back...
Read moreWe were recommended this place so we called in on our way home from our holiday. It is a really nice pub in a country location on the outskirts of North Walsham. On arrival we were treated like returning locals with a friendly welcome. We were allowed to choose where we wanted to sit (I would imagine that this wouldn't be an option all the time as it got very busy, very quickly). There is a good, varied menu with all the pub favourites, light bites, mains etc. I went for the steak pie, new potatoes and seasonal vegetables with gravy. My wife had the fish finger sandwich with chips and coleslaw. Both meals were beautiful but I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that the steak pie was one of the best I've ever had. The cost was very reasonable, the staff are friendly and attentive and we left on first name terms. We will be back the next time we are...
Read moreCalled in for some food with the family as we knew this place was always good when we lived closer. Nothing has changed, a very warm welcome, the landlord is a really nice fella, the waitress was very polite and helpful when we were ordering our kids wanted a couple of little changes to the menu and that was no problem at all.
The food arrived and it's was as we remembered from before very tasty, good portions well presented and reasonably priced considering the recent hikes in ingredients etc.
The beer was spot on, the kids had games to play, they wanted to explore the beer garden so the landlord said no problem I will get all the garden lights on... Nothing was too much trouble.
It's a shame we live over in Norwich now but if passing we will definitely visit again and support this great hidden...
