Sadly closed and turned in to a house 2 months ago. Well done to Linda for running a pro pub for the past 15 years you will be missed!

dont know how its expensive- Vodka, lime & lemonade and a pint fosters �4.80 compaired to �6.20 where i live an hour away!! tell me that most places in Norfolk are cheaper than that for 2 drinks!

2 years ago since i was in ere-nice pint of wolf and given a free go on a prize board........not that i won anything lol seemed a decent enough pub though
16 Nov 2011 13:38
discovered this one as needs must rather than intentionally........it was lthe ord mayors precession 2008 and we were on the bus going into city centre the very long and slow way round as a result. I had already 'broke the seal' and as the bus approached this gaff i reached for the stop button and we piled off into the boozer. a good choice if i say so myself, a pub thats still a pub with a great atmosphere, and oranjeboom on tap!!! (didnt know they still made it!) a good find and will use again when in the area.
16 Nov 2011 13:21
probably the best pub in thetford, friendly atmosphere, pool table etc
3 Nov 2011 09:18
decent enough estate boozer.....better than most in Thetford!
3 Nov 2011 09:15
this is a lovely pub- just a shame there opening hours arent longer or i would drink there more often!

The Old Railway Tavern, Eccles
first of all.......GO TO THIS PUB!!!! just to say youve been there! this place beggars beleive as to how its still trading. nothing has been done to this gaff in probably 30 years (its like stepping back in time!!) no customers when we dropped in and no draught lager- i had to opt for a bud ice a year out of date! didnt bother complaining to the 70 odd year old broad norfolk landlady with beard and all. rare as people, rare as!!
2 Nov 2011 16:35
Larling beer fest is a real must! it aint no beer fest youve been to anywhere else!!! food wise-plenty of it at decent prices....nothing poncy just good pub grub. a proper country pub and recommended.
2 Nov 2011 16:30
only been in for a quick pint- pub has been refurbed tastefully. front bar has a real country feel to it- leather chairs, bookcases, pictures etc with the back bar now a restaurant nicely laid out. decent kegs/casks on offer, menu looked good albeit slightly pricey- but then again not so much if the food is as good as it looks and smells! defo be back!
2 Nov 2011 16:28
still like a morgue if your going out for a few BUT i have to say its overtaken the Red Lion in terms of quality food and value for money.......
2 Nov 2011 16:20
dropped in here for a quick pint, place was empty bar one other bloke but it was 6pm..........first visit since refurb and theyve done a tasteful job- beer garden has been sorted out and looks like a great choice for chilling out when summer comes round. menu looks good....will probably try at some point.
2 Nov 2011 16:10
currently closed.....rumoured to be being sold freehold!
2 Nov 2011 14:06
pub changed hands couple of months ago, BIG improvement! refurbed and a degree of atmosphere has returned.....the new licensees are more sociable and food seems to be good (not tried myself).......if you stopped coming here coz you lost the will to live- give it another go!
2 Nov 2011 14:05
sank a few in here when visiting family- decent size proper village boozer. chilled in the large beer garden which was lovely.....no complaints about beer although we did endure a couple of minging glasses during the sesh. landlord likes a bit of banter- which is what its all about, love the small footy memorabilia room to the side- good effort!! apparently the adjoining indian restaurant is rather good too! happily revisit when in the area!
2 Nov 2011 14:00
swift one in here when visiting family.......its a 'ok but not one thats going to stick in your memory'. very busy as town sent pub- average.
2 Nov 2011 13:55
The Duke of Marlborough, Hepworth
had plenty of cash thrown at it................but the doors remain closed! up for lease......
2 Nov 2011 13:50
its a better than average village pub- 3 dart boards, pool table, tv etc. place is modern by other pubs in the area but by no means doesnt feel like a pub.
food looks and smells good. wouldnt make a special trip but decent enough
2 Nov 2011 13:49
anotherpintplease must have the wrong place- this place hasnt changed in 40 years (probably still the same lick of paint!)......its ok at best, very much a locals country pub.......not somewhere you would go for a lively one. darts, pool and juke box (not updated that often by the looks of it!), mainly GK beers as its a GK pub! if in Walsham......the Blue Boars a preferred choice.
2 Nov 2011 13:45
just changed hands, new landlady seems nice. well it cant get any worse.
1 Apr 2011 11:03
its basically a wetherspoons, cheap drink, flat screens, contemp decor....but its gud enough 4 me 2 start a nite out!!
1 Apr 2011 10:51
went in for lunch, bit of a dump inside, we sat out! decent enough new york chicken, beer ok.
1 Apr 2011 10:47
lovely homemade burgers, decent service and a nice clean restaurant. love the fosters pool table as well-i want 1!!!
25 Feb 2011 12:59
true village local, newly built smoking area looks gud, food smelt lovely and the guvnors a nice bloke. had a bad pint tasted vinegary but quick enough to change it and next was fine. all in all worth a visit!
25 Feb 2011 12:53

15 Nov 2010 16:17
had a company meal here in jan which i had booked myself . upon arrival we were told they had no knowledge of this. after a few minutes we were told they could cook 'certain meals' but nothing too involved as everything had been turned off, and generally made to feel like it was inconvinient. as we were considering leaving the FULL menu became available so we decided to stay put. my friend steak had to be sent back TWICE as she asked for w-d and it came out rare! the landlady was very short with us although i will say the majority of our 3 course meal was very nice. i was drinking vodka and coke whilst someone else on the table drank malibu n coke, and my second drink smelt of coconut (i can tell as i detest the stuff) but was told from across the pub it definatly wasnt and they couldnt smell it! after a bit of a fuss it was eventually changed! chatted with the lanlord after the meal, nice enough guy. in summery, nice pub, good food just a shame about the service! *not my fault someone didnt write our booking down!

12 Nov 2010 16:14

12 Nov 2010 14:11
this place is the best in cromer! lovely pub with bnb rooms. sky sports and bands in the summer, cant beat chillin in the courtyard out the back. the courtyard restuarant serves STUNNING food. a must visit.
12 Nov 2010 14:09
the bangin gud nites av gone n its a lil strange in here now....not a patch on the atmosphere it used 2 av, not bad 4 food
12 Nov 2010 14:07
this is a RARE pub! lol must visit just 2 say uv bin there!
12 Nov 2010 14:04
dunno wot the last guy is on about, ive been using the horse 4 yrs and people who are 'visitors' to the area have always been made 2 feel very welcome by regulars and have been commended on the atmosphere, not making people feel 'intrusive'. as for the 10.30 situ that was a 'last admittance' time, which is no longer in place. always been a great pub 4 beer, music, food n chillin in the lovely big beer garden! new hosts taken over r a great couple and think they will do well!
11 Nov 2010 16:10
had sum awesum nites in here ove the yrs, not bin in 4 a couple of yrs but not the pub it used 2 b!
