    A warm welcome to begin with, with a good selection of drinks. Local ales were particularly of note. Not an extensive selection, but enough to be interesting. Pigeon breast to start was a real treat. Nicely prepared and presented. Rhubarb jus was tasty. Would benefit from a little more considering the portion size of the meat. Pork belly was superb! I'm glad I asked for extra apple sauce. This was great, but again needed a bit extra to accompany the portion size. All the elements were excellent, making a really great mouthful when combined. An important sign of well matched elements. Trout fillet was cooked beautifully! The sauce was really good, but not outstanding. A lovely cheese selection and Lemon posset for dessert. The lemon was fabulous, and a very well flavoured mango sorbet to accompany. After a bit of a hiccup at the start, service was really attentive and friendly. Definitely coming here again. Dog friendly, for those that care. :-)

    This is a pretty thatched pub with delicious food just outside Norwich. The service was attentive and friendly, and we had no complaints whatsoever. Would highly recommend the chicken supreme and the fish and chips.

    We wanted a Sunday roast for a party of 12 and this was recommended by a friend. However, it was a very disappointing meal, the roast was bland, and the desserts were not nice at all, we didn't even finish it! The crumble was stogey and custard was gloopy. The yorkshire pudding was burnt and the gravy was watery. The pub itself wasn't that busy, yet it was still hard to get the waiters attention. However, that said, there was a girl who was friendly and apologetic to us when she served us, hence the 2 stars for service. There was quite some wait for the despite us ordering in advance as we were a big party group; even the kids ice cream took about 10mins to be served, we had to chase it! Overall, I wouldn't recommend but hopefully it was just a one off for them?

    We stopped her on our way home from a trip to the coast, the staff were really welcoming, our food was hot and plentiful overall a lovely little pub and restaurant, I would of given 5 stars but they didn't have a child's menu so my daughter had a huge burger, which of course she couldn't finish, the Chequers also has a car park and beer garden with a nice kids play area ....(so why no menu?)
