The Saracens Head - Aylsham

Had an amazing stay here this weekend, lovely rooms and location. Great food and service in the restaurant. Breakfast options were epic. We loved the focus on local food. Great place to stay and eat when touring norfolk.

We were fortunate enough to enjoy a lovely meal at Saracens Head on a bright October weekend. My steak and ale pie with smokey mash and parsnips was excellent. Other members of our party were very pleased with their luncheon choices of venison and their vegetarian main course. The crispy belly pork was also much enjoyed. To end our meal on a delightful sweet note, we enjoyed the sweet and tart blackberry and apple crumble, a luscious vanilla creme brulee, and a rich affogato. The presentation and service were wonderful!

Great service and food and very friendly. A perfect country pub. Rooms: 4 Service: 5 Location: 5

Second visit to the Saracens. It’s a special place with old school English charm, not so easy to find nowadays. With unfussy and down to earth rooms, the emphasis here is on the food hospitality. The chance to spend the night at a Georgian inn with a perfectly idyllic rural setting, best enjoyed in the garden with a pint of Wherry. Food highlights this time were the pork belly starter and perfectly done, succulent local Blickling steak. The welcome: everyone works hard here but a special shout out for Robbie, a service star who makes it all happen in the bar and restaurant a great guy. Looked forward to coming back here each evening after days out exploring.

Only had a pint. That was OK Service: 5 Location: 5
