a month agoWe had booked this meal for my husband and l as it was my husband's birthday and our granddaughter who had recently passed her driving test. My granddaughter was delayed because of the fog and on arrival l explained this to the member of staff. She was extremely understanding and told us not to worry as it was not a problem. She suggested we make ourselves comfortable until our granddaughter arrived. We ordered drinks and settled by the enormously comforting fire on a very comfy and homely sofa.At no time during the 10-15 minutes that we waited did we feel pressured or uncomfortable. Quite the opposite. When said granddaughter arrived the first thing our staff member did was ask if she would like something to drink. No big hurry to get us into the dining room. The meal itself was exceptional. Not only beautifully cooked and presented but delicious too. Service was excellent- quietly efficient, staff polite and unobtrusive. Superb all round.

2 weeks agoWe stayed overnight at the Brisley Bell in Troose room, just before Christmas, and the room was absolutely gorgeous with beautiful furnishings. The staff were wonderful & friendly. We had a 3 course meal and drinks in the pub & really loved the food - it’s on the pricey side, but the decor inside the dining room & cosy fire made it all worth it. The pub is in a wonderful location stand alone on a country lane, I will definitely recommend to others for a romantic weekend stay.

a month agoNice looking country pub in the heart of Norfolk. Came too late for normal lunch service, but that was fine as it's a bit pricey for my pocket but there was a bar snack menu which was well priced and to be fair was more like tapas. Personally I'd go with spending £20 on bar snacks and getting 5 small dishes.

5 months agoThis place could be better with some management. The food was fab!! Really enjoyed it but the service was severely lacking. There was a jazz band playing so the bar was busy and out of the 3 servers only one could make cocktails. When someone ordered with the other staff they made a little scene of how they can’t make cocktails and the other girl is better. This held up service a lot. Very off putting. When We were seated in the dining room, it took a long time to get service. After 15mins we were told the chef hasn’t got the menu ready yet. This is honestly fine however please communicate with your customers so we aren’t left wondering why we have been abandoned. Would definitely be back based on the food. Hopefully management can train the staff a little more.
