Ugly Bug Inn's - South Norfolk

Where do I start! I think the owner should take a course on customer relations. Overall he had a very strange attitude especially when one of my party questioned what she had ordered. I loved Fawlty Towers back in the 70s but didn’t expect to find myself immersed in some sort of strange 2020s remake! The food was poor to say the least and didn’t really fit the description on the menu. Quite simply I would not recommend this establishment. There are many lovely places to eat in the vicinity, this is not one of them. I will not be going back any time soon.

As previous reviews state, this is a welcoming pub with an attractive restaurant and great food. We were presented with an extensive specials board with several starters and main courses and mainly chose dishes from there. We had Cromer crab (3 as starters and one main course which was very good and three mains of venison which was melt in the mouth and totally delicious. Those finishing with home made ice cream and desserts pronounced them all excellent. A special mention too for catering for a gluten free diet (coeliac little mention on the menu but really well served with plenty of options (really sorry I didn’t have room for the g/f brownies! The wine list gave a good choice of reasonably priced, good quality wine. Service was efficient, informed and friendly. All in all full marks!

Bit out of the way but worth it. Excellent Food and Landlord who was very pleasant to have a chat with. Sunday lunch melted in the month and amazing surrounds... you must try their home made ice cream

My friends and i tour foodie pubs regularly and this place is one of the friendliest we have visited. We all had lovely starters, quite a selection of meat dishes, fish and veggie meals. The host was also quite willing to tweak a few things for my fussy self!!

We had our works Christmas meal at the Norfolk lurcher last night. The food was absolutely out of this world. I had the beef brisket which was brought out with a steak knife….. it wasn’t needed…… it was melt in the mouth tender! The decor inside the establishment is amazing, everywhere you look you will notice something else quirky, and everywhere is immaculately clean. The staff are very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble for them….. including the adorable dog!! A huge selection of drinks behind the well stocked bar…. Including a choice of 6 bourbons! It was my first visit, certainly won’t be my last to what be one of Norfolk’s best kept secrets!
