"Upon arrival we were shown to our room which was very pleasant. The snug was very snug which seemed more of a meeting point for gossiping staff behind the bar and their friends. The meal was nice enough albeit almost thrown onto the table in a rush, the service was appalling. Very slow, our bottle of wine sat on the bar for ages with no sign of staff aware of it, eventually we took it ourselves. We asked for a port twice to go with our cheese but finished the cheese before the staff even got their act together to take the bottle from the shelf (we cancelled the port). We were not approached again for coffee or anything else, we left the restaurant and retired to our room. The staff seemed to be drifting around in the three separate restaurant rooms with no clear idea of who was doing what. The management was very poor. I wouldn’t say they were under staffed just poorly managed. The bedroom was very noisy from the bar downstairs, scraping tables and chairs in the afternoon through to late evening. We made a coffee in the room to find there wasn’t any sugar and no means of getting any unless we dressed ourselves again the go to the bar. Breakfast was poor, very dry toast, sloppy undercooked boiled egg and the garden breakfast which claimed to have halloumi cheese was substituted with a rather nasty looking black pudding. All in all a very disappointing visit and an expensive one at that."

Efficient service, delicious food and good value! We were seated and our order taken quickly. The food arrived quicker than expected and it was delicious.

We chose to dine at this restaurant for lunch with a party of three. Each of us ordered three courses and thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The southern Thai dish with soft shell crab was particularly scrumptious. We definitely plan on coming back!

I went to this restaurant after spending time in Reepham for a special lunch. It was an amazing experience and I couldn't decide on just one dish from the menu, so I ended up trying several delicious starters. The garden was also very beautiful.

The staff were very welcoming, friendly and efficient. As the weather was hot we sat in the garden under a pleasant covered area. I'm a very fussy eater, but there were lots of things on the menu for me to choose from. The portions were very generous, made with fresh quality ingredients. This was the best pub meal we have had in a long time! We will definitely be returning.

The pub was very busy due to Bank Holiday weekend but I had booked well in advance. Staff friendly and attentive. We had the Sunday lunch which was huge but very tasty. Maybe you don’t need mash and roasts none of us where able to finish both. Only other minor point no need for the music the pub was busy and didn’t need any additional noise adding to that. Lovely pub lunch.

Popped for dinner this evening and we had the most amazing meal. My husband had the Fillet and King Prawn surf and turf and extremely happy with his beautiful meal. I had the Roast Monkfish and King Prawn Indonesian Redang Curry which was simply sublime and it made me a very happy woman indeed. Truly a wonderful meal in lovely surroundings presented by charming and friendly staff. Brilliant meal, thank you.

We recently spent three days at Blickling and had a fantastic experience. The staff were welcoming from the moment we arrived, our room was beautifully decorated with stunning views and well-equipped, and it was cleaned and restocked with treats each morning. I made sure to book a table at the restaurant for both nights and was not disappointed. The food was exceptional - I particularly enjoyed the yellow Thai curry with crab and prawns, as well as the delicious lamb dish I had on the second night. By the time we left, we felt like part of the family and can't wait to come back for another visit. The prices were reasonable considering the high quality of the food and accommodations. A big th...

We stayed at the Bucks Arms for four nights, choosing it because of its convenient location for visiting Blickling Hall and other National Trust properties in the neighbourhood. Our room was spacious, and furnished with a large four poster bed, and it had an equally spacious bathroom running off it. The highlight of our stay was the meals a large full English breakfast in the morning and a first rate dinner in the evening. As other correspondents have reported, the portions here are generous to say the least, and you 'll never go away hungry: after we 'd eaten breakfast, we scarcely needed to buy lunch. In every sense, the Bucks Arms offers excellent value for money. Our criticisms are few a...

"I decided to surprise my daughter and take her for a deluxe spa break . We couldn’t fault the afternoon tea and massages at the spa these were brilliant . We were very excited about our evening meal but left feeling very deflated . On arrival no staff told us what we could have with our package, we received the wrong drinks menu. After around 20 minutes someone finally came over and asked if we wanted a drink. We ordered and asked for tap water too . One of the drinks arrived but the water and other one never did so we had to find a young bar man who was rushing about and ask him . He was lovely and went and got them for us . After a long time of waiting bread and something in a little pot was plonked on our table , no explanation what it was , we thought we had got someone else’s starter . Finally we ordered our starters it was lovely but no spoon for my daughters soup so again we had to search for staff , plates took absolutely ages to be collected, mains came finally after 1.5 hours. It was lovely but the atmosphere was bad as other customers were getting fed up of waiting too. Finally got dessert and after we finished we sat patiently waiting for our plates to be taken and bill given ,as a lot on the menu which we liked you had to pay extra for .I thought this was ridiculous thinking back how much this break had cost me . After staff walking past us and ignoring us and the empty plates I had had enough and went to find someone to put it on our room bill . This experience was not the lovely bday treat I had expected for my daughters 21st disappointing is an understatement!!!"
