Such a lovely place , decor is beautiful, the wood burner makes the lounge area feel very cosy…,,I have given 3 stars on menu options only, as I wanted a vegan dish and was told this wasn’t possible, my partner and I had a drink and left to find somewhere more accommodating which was such a shame as everything else about the place was 5 star(come on chefs please adapt menus for all diets )I will return if and when I can I can enjoy a drink AND a meal

We visited this hotel for lunch as part of the Norfolk Restaurant Week. This is a limited menu at a set price. We use Norfolk Restaurant Week try try out new venues with a view to returning to those that impress and I must say this hotel really did impress. We shall definitely be returning in the near future.

My husband and I were staying for the weekend in Great Bircham. We had heard that the Kings Head were now doing meals again and so we booked for dinner on the Saturday evening. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, so much so that we booked again for lunch on the Sunday. We couldn’t fault the food at all - generous portions, quality ingredients and beautifully cooked. We’ve spread the word to our friends and will definitely be returning again. Well done!

I stayed here as a last minute business trip as a solo traveler. The Kings Head Country Hotel is nestled in a beautiful village and in wonderful surroundings. Big car park to the rear. Staff were very welcoming on check in. Check in was seamless. Bedroom was spotlessly clean and warm. The food was delicious. Great choice and reasonably priced. Would highly recommend staying and dining here.

We have stayed here several times before and always enjoyed our visit. However, on this occasion we felt that several things need attention. To start with the positives, our room was large, nicely decorated and the bed very comfortable. We also had a sofa and armchair. The young man on reception when we arrived was very pleasant and welcoming. Now for the negatives. They are still without a chef so no evening meals. We had already made other plans so did not affect us but there are no other eating places in the immediate area for those not wanting to venture out in the evening. Breakfast left a lot to be desired. There seemed to be only 2 staff doing the serving and reception and they seemed very stressed. One said it was because everyone was coming down at the same time. Why not have a staggered system which a lot of hotels now have. You book your slot the night before. I poured milk into my coffee and it immediately curdled. I asked for more and there was no apology, neither was I offered a fresh pot of coffee. Service was definitely lacking as the 2 women seemed unable to cope. We stay at money hotels and, for what they charge, they definitely need to up their game …

Last minute decision to go away for bank holiday w/e , we needed 3 rooms and this hotel came up so we booked it - it looked fine and we found it to be great , large clean rooms , friendly staff and probably the best breakfast we’ve all eaten in a long long time .

unfortunately the last 2 years I have stayed here the restaurant has been closed for both lunch and dinner service! as this is the only pub in the village this seems ridiculous, especially as we have all travelled from Kong and far to stay here. the breakfast service was also atrocious. understaffed and under services despite prices increased! I would stay elsewhere!

We arrived at 5pm and had booked a meal for 6.30pm, only to be told that there were no meals and no chef. So we had to drive to other places, one 20 minutes away, one slightly nearer. The young man on reception should have offered to find and book an alternative but instead we were given a list and left to get on with it. As it turned out, The Chives was very good and we had a lovely meal. The other place we went to was poor. However the room was quiet and we slept well. Breakfast was good - no complaints. We were not warned that there was no evening meals.

Following an issue with accommodation we had booked elsewhere for a break we ended up needing to book an alternative at short notice having already arrived in Norfolk. Kieran at the Kings Head was very helpful booking us a room, suggested somewhere we would be able to get some dinner en route and waited for us to arrive beyond the end of his shift. The staff in the morning were also friendly and served us a good breakfast. Overall good value for money and we appreciate the service we received.
