First time visitors to this establishment, my wife and I stopped for lunch. The Buck Inn has an attractive view over the river, easy parking and access. Our first impressions were of a very warm welcome in the form of Mair a bubbly and friendly barmaid, although the interior seemed a little dark on entry but it as a traditional... More

Warm welcome from the staff who showed to our table in the dining room. We had very good service from a friendly waitress. We ordered whitebait as a starter which was very good. Main courses of steak, fish and chips and a salad were all excellent as was the apple crumble dessert. The restaurant is small but was full with... More

I have been here lately for a drink but when a man came in and asked for food the chef who at this time was not in the kitchen but in the bar laughed and refused to cook for him I found this patronising to the customer and very rude I think that whoever owns this pub should think about... More

This pub is in a very nice location, just over the road from the river. There was ample parking when we arrived. The staff were attentive, though failed to ask if our meal was OK. We would have then told them that either the knives were blunt or the beef was tough -probably a bit of both. The vegetables were... More

Tried to visit for a bite to eat. Waited at the bar, where the barmaid served the regulars first, then herself, before coming over and asking if we wanted anything. I asked about eating, she said there was 'no chance' of that. We found her possibly the worst member of pub staff we've ever come across and walked out. This... More

Gorgeous little Cottage building with all old and original features. Has a great atmosphere and is a favorite for locals. Beer is good. Food is lovely. Large portions for your money. If you happen to be there in summer, walk across the road to the river and watch the boats on the river Yare, feed the ducks, and finish with... More
