We hadn't made a reservation for lunch but we were very lucky to get a table. I would highly recommend booking for Sunday lunch. The Sunday lunch menu offers roast beef or chicken or a nut roast. There were also 3 other options, plus dessert (which none of us had room for) My daughter got a smaller plate (no issue accommodating that) of the roast chicken which was just so well cooked. Very juicy and full of flavour. Husband and I went for the roast beef. Again absolutely cooked to perfection and really generous number of slices. All the roasts came with plenty of seasonal vegetables plus the best roasties my husband says he has ever had out. Yorkshire puddings were crisp and light. The roast dinners come with a gravy boat so you can add as much or little as you like. Service was really good, the staff were all very friendly and welcoming. There's always a lovely atmosphere here and we will definitely be...

Such a lovely pub! It is small inside, but luckily we went at a quiet time (7.30ish on a random Thursday) so had the back room to ourselves! Real ales were nice, good range of soft drinks and the food was great - nachos as a starter were delicious. Good selection of vegetarian options on the light bites menu which was nice. However, the real 5* rating is for the incredible service from the lovely bar and waiting staff (same person!) She was very attentive, very friendly and welcoming, just amazing customer service and food & drinks came really quickly. Loved it! Can't wait to come back on a warmer day and sit outside in the pleasant surroundings, although I bet I'll have to fight to...

I love this place and went here on the trail of the man with an orange for a head. The wig and pen is very popular amongst those who have citrus fruit for heads. It's handy for the court.

When the man with an orange for a head was doing Jury duty he spent a lot of time in this pub. This is in part due to the fact that the man with an orange for a head has an almost supernatural ability to look people in the eye and compel them to tell the truth. In the week he did jury duty over one hundred people just decided to admit guilt, which largely rendered him redundant as a jurer but gave him all the time in the world to get wankered on cheap cider which is a vital part of...

Have the pie! If you love a thick pastry crust and a good and I mean good meaty filling. You will not be disappointed. You will be stuffed. The only decision is starter or sweet. You may be thinking both. Good luck with that if you don't want to waddle out of the door. Edit: We have just been back, and guess what. I had the pie. Only this time I asked for chips and beans with it instead of new potatoes and veg. This took the meal to a whole new level of pie heaven.

Argyle on tour !! 9hrs to get here by train but a 20 minute walk to this pub and with a nice real ale in my hand it mattered not. Nice bar staff....very friendly and even guided me to a few more pubs on the way back to Carrow Road stadium. Lovely old traditional pub steeped in history. Sadly, another bad day for Argyle.....we got stuffed 6 - 1. Ah well....only another 9hrs to get home....

Last minute choice for Sunday lunch. Service was exceptional with table service and hello with an allergy. Real ales on tap. Roast dinner looked great. Steak and ale pie very moreish. Desserts were even better - rhubarb and apple crumble had a toasty crunch topping and smooth custard. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended. We will be going back!
