The Black Boys Hotel is an imposing Grade II listed building in the centre of the historic market town of Aylsham. It is a popular pub, bar and restaurant and offers superb B&B accommodation in eight en suite guest bedrooms. The restaurant and bar areas of The Black Boys have been completely refurbished but stylised to preserve a 17th century feel with a modern ambience. To the rear of the pub we have a covered and heated outdoor area for drinking and dining – complete with its very own bar.

Our menus cater for both traditional and more imaginative tastes, using local produce wherever possible. On Sundays we offer a traditional roast alongside a wide selection of other dishes.

We are a dog-friendly pub and welcome well-behaved dogs on leads in the bar or garden, but they are not permitted in the restaurant. Dogs are also welcome in some of our guest bedrooms. Please mention when booking if you are bringing a dog so that an appropriate table or room may be allocated.

If dining in the bar with your dog we ask that owners be sensitive to other guests. If a dog needs food or water please take them outside where water bowls are provided.

Pub open every day from 8.30am. Breakfast served 8.30am-10.30am every day (booking essential). Main menu served Mon-Thurs 12.00pm-8.30pm, Fri & Sat 12.00pm-9.30pm, Sun 12.00pm-8.00pm.

Booking is strongly advised to avoid disappointment.

As per all listings on Dog Friendly Norfolk, we accept well behaved dogs.

    This place had been recommended and so expectations were high. It did not disappoint. Very busy and popular but the service was outstanding. Menu was great, couldn't eat all my choices as my belly isn't big enough but the trio of pork was superb.

    Excellent food, fantastic service, good price. We booked a table for 10 very last minute on a Saturday and they managed to squeeze us in provided we could give the table back by a set time. Food was excellent quality and very good portions. Very accommodating to allergies and plenty of drinks available. We wanted deserts but would have overran past the time they needed the table back, however they were very helpful and said they could push it back a bit more to give us time to eat if we wanted. Overall, excellent food and service.

    My wife & I enjoyed a drink and a packet of Pipers crisps at a table outside on the pavement in Market Place late afternoon/early evening on Saturday, July 27, 2024. We received friendly, swift service. The bar area inside appeared clean & tidy. We liked the look of the menu but we had already made prior arrangements elsewhere.

    3 of us had a wonderful lunch today. The fish pie and chilli beef were outstanding with lovely fresh vegetables too. This is our second visit when in Norfolk and won't be our last.thanks to all the lovely staff.
