包伯夫國王頭酒店(Kings Head Bawburgh)

Was looking forward to meeting up with family for breakfast, table booked for 9 of us at 10.30am, waitress not pleasant, food average, bill came straight after we had eaten, once we had paid the bill,asked to leave at 11.45 because they needed our table!! Not good enough!! Very disappointed with everything!! Shame.

Booked table for pre Christmas meal for six adults and paid £10 per person deposit, week before three adults were poorly so rang and asked if we could re-book for any time in January, were told we could but would lose deposit. January is usually a quiet time for pubs and you'd think they would be glad to take this booking. It's a pity as we've been several times before and one of the party is a long time friend of Anton. So they have gained £60 but lost several hundred and repeat custom.

Went for Sunday lunch with partner and parents today. Both mum and dad’s beef had to be sent back as was ‘as tough as old boots’ in the words of my dad! …And they know their roasts, going all over Norfolk and trying somewhere new every single Sunday!! We then had desserts. Which were v nice Ngl. ….But here comes the kicker… Came to getting the bill. The waitress kindly said they were “taking the two roast beef off our bill” which was nice and made us feel a lot better about our whole experience..but I spoke too soon!!! They’d then charged us for 2 x ‘1 courses’ ie £36 for two desserts, as was classed as ‘1 course’ and was the one price, whether you’d had the starter, main or dessert! £36 for 2 desserts…..really?!!!?!! Don’t make out you’re ‘doing us a favour’ by ‘taking off the beef/roasts’ and then proceed to charge us £36 (2 x £18)! The waitress then got in a massive huff, saying ‘she’d speak to a manager’ and seemed shocked by our disgust about this extortionate pricing for a dessert! Very rarely do reviews, but feel employed to do so, and warn peeps to avoid at all costs!!!! In all my years working across the Norfolk hospitality sector and in various pubs, bars, clubs and restaurants, I have never known pricing, service and utter disdain for customers like it. P.S If I could leave a 0 rating, I would have done!

Not good. Over cooked food. Gravy like sump oil on roast. Over cooked roast potatoes Very expensive wine. Won’t be returning. Had to go to the bar to place order and return flat beer. Staff young kids. Pub empty no atmosphere.

We’ve stayed here a couple of times and visited the restaurant for many years. It never disappoints. The staff are really friendly and the food is top notch. The standard of the restaurant has never dropped throughout the years, which is a credit to the owner and theteam! A1 at Lloyd’s!

First time here and very impressed. My pie was superb and everyone was pleased with their meals. Desserts nicely presented. Nice atmosphere and the service was prompt and attentive. Well worth a visit if you have never been before. Thanks!

We have just spent a weekend at The King’s Head and I have to say I couldn’t find fault in anything .The room was spotless,The food fantastic and the staff even better .Couldn’t have been more helpful .Totally recommended and I know people say it but we will definitely be back

Having read that this was pub of the year 2023 in the Norfolk magazine we thought we would try the food. The atmosphere was good, relaxed and pleasant music. Parking was easy. The food, left us feeling slightly disappointed. We all agreed compared to many of the restaurants we eat at it wasn’t particularly good value for money. There were 4 of us, one had the mushroom soup for starters and it was okay but had a slightly odd spicy flavour, one had the belly pork and thought it was good, two had the Thai fish cakes which were disappointing as we couldn’t taste the Thai flavours and there was too much potato and not enough fish in the cakes, couldn’t taste the fish. For mains, one had a venison pie which was okay but again not a lot of meat in the pie and lots of pastry, a thinner crust would have been preferred. One had the steak burger which was good and one had the fish of the day also quite good. Service was good.

I wish we could keep this gorgeous place a secret and all to ourselves! My husband and I had dinner here tonight for the first time and loved every minute of it!!! The bar itself is modern without letting go of it’s historical roots. Huge fireplaces with exposed beams and chunky modern comfortable furniture. The food is honestly sensational! Everything is delectable, cooked to perfection and perfectly balanced. We are so full and satisfied! The staff are incredibly friendly and kind and we got to meet Anton the owner who saved me from a near salt disaster. The pubs is set in a beautiful village and is fabulous in summer but can only imagine how wonderful it would be in winter with the fires lit while sharing a meal with loved ones.
