A decent Sunday lunchtime meal, though the choice of seasonal veg was a little on the weird side? Nonetheless, still enjoyed it.

Super pub on Dereham high street. Had great 'lite bite' meals. Friendly service, good beer and great value. We'll definitely be back soon..!

Visited the nearby escape rooms and got hungry. We came here and had lasange and a mixed grill with a side of fries and bbq wings. The steak was cooked to medium very accurately which was a nice surprise as we've visited some much pricier places previously, even steakhouses who have got it so wrong and overcooked it. The lasagne was also surprisingly tasty and presented well with a little side salad and parsley garnish. The wings were not very good unfortunately but the fries were great. Overall, the prices are very reasonable and the food is good for what you do pay. There is a nice, good sized outside area and the pub itself is pretty spacious. The fizzy drinks were kind of flat but all in all I still give 4*. The staff seemed nice and were all very busy. Dereham was a nice little place to visit.

Under new management. Popped in midweek. Food was ok, service very prompt and efficient. Would go back. Husband curry was quite watery so probably wouldn't order that again but the burger was good.
