The Coachmakers Arms - Breckland

I had a wonderful time enjoying an amazing stone baked pizza outdoors. The waitress was very friendly and accommodating. The pub is well-maintained and has a lovely decor.

The pub is nicely decorated and serves good food, but the menu is a bit limited. I would visit more often if it were dog friendly, as dogs are only allowed in the garden. Other pubs in Dereham that serve food, like the Gemini, allow and actively welcome dogs, so I'm not sure why this pub does not.

I highly recommend this restaurant. The food is delicious, the wine list is impressive, and they catered well to our large group. The staff was respectful and the pub and restaurant were very clean.

We visited The Coachmakers with our family who live nearby and we had the most amazing meal and a fabulous evening. We have been here before and over time the pub has undergone a really classy refurbishment resulting in what I consider to be a very high quality venue. Since our last visit there has been a very welcomed addition of a rather lovely “Wine Boutique” where I discovered a vast array of various high quality wines perfectly chilled and ready to either take out or drink in. My God I was like a little kid in a sweet shop! I managed to try 3 of the rosé’s (with a little help from my mother-in-law) and all were outstanding without exception. It would have been rude not to buy a selection to take home which of course I duly did. In between the wine, we all had a fantastic meal; my sirloin steak was a good size, extremely tasty and cooked to perfection. The rest of the family had nothing but good things to say about their meals, in fact my husband commented that his peri peri chicken was much better than Nando’s and double the size! My only regret is that we don’t live nearer this superb venue and if you are lucky enough to live nearby or are passing through, I urge you to pay it a visit, I can assure you that you won’t regret it! Thanks so much for such a lovely evening (and for delivering the wine) and we look forward to returning soon.

Just had a superb curry and an excellent pizza at the Coachmakers. All properly controlled and sanitized for the COVID World but still with the splendid hospitality of Graham Hayley. Highly recommended!
