Where do I start? The pub is on the main through road of Gosfield so can't be missed easily. Plenty…read moreof parking space, if one of you is driving. Unlike many pubs today, which thrive to survive using the the restaurant side, this pub has two bars as well as the restaurant. So, if you want just a pint then there is plenty of seating room. Wood beamed ceiling and inglenook fireplace, nice for those colder nights in winter. We were there to celebrate a 30th birthday and on arriving, early, we were welcomed by the bar staff with warm cheery smiles (a pleasant surprise these days). A table for the eight of us was already laid and we decorated it a little. Then down to a few drinks while awaiting the other guests. Nice selection of real ales and, I noticed, a fantastic selection of worldwide whiskies (although my favourite, Laphroaig, was absent). Once seated we perused the fantastic menu. I guarantee that there would be something on it that anyone would choose, even veggies. My problem was that there was so much choice and I wanted to try everything. I started with Cromer crab and avocado with lime dressing. Aberdeen Angus rump steak with a homemade peppercorn dressing (none of the usual bottled sauce), Portabello mushroom and really CHUNKY chips Wow delicious, both courses. Finally, cheese and biscuits. Three unusual local cheeses, with loads of crackers, celery, apple wedges, butter and a pot of home made chutney. A meal in itself. Going on the sounds from our friends and the empty plates around the table I can only assume that the other meals were as delicious as mine. Nice touch for a pub. Cream teas in the afternoon, unusual. Anyway, thanks to all you guys and gals behind the bar and in the kitchen for a wonderful evening. You all have done the English pub/restaurant trade PROUD. We will see you again.

We arrived during a very busy spell on a Sunday (parties of 10, 6 and 8 already seated). The staff…read moregot us seated quickly and had drinks immediately. Within a short time the starters were out and they were very delicious (whitebait, and duck egg rolls) and a perfect portion size. We then had a fantastic roast dinner - the beef was served in very generous slices and was superbly cooked, a perfect tenderness and very flavorsome; moreish roast potatoes; tender and fresh vegetables, and a crunchy Yorkshire pudding. The meal was absolutely excellent and we were stuffed to the brim but very happy. Very very helpful and friendly staff, who were busy keeping a full pub very happy. Highly recommend this pub and it's in a very beautiful building and location.

I had a jacket potato with chilli, and I knew that I had eaten the chilli. It was really hot and wonderful. My partner had a tuna mayo sandwich. As she said, 'they must have used a whole tin making this one'. The pub has a large area set out for meals and the menu is quite extensive, especially the 'specials' on the blackboards. We will pop back there one evening to give it a real 'try out'.

So it was with some trepidation that we embarked on up the road to it knowing full well that hands had changed since last the horde had watered there. We had little to fear. The place is huge, but separated out into a myriad of smaller rooms, some with pretty bits of paraphernalia and one in particular with a glass floor that looked down into the old cellar. "The glass can take a 2 tonne weight" the barman had pointed out helpfully to the panicked girl trying to keep her drunk friends from jumping on it. The Waggon is now part of a brewing franchise so the beers on tap were all custom to the area. A Christmas beer on sale Red Santa was particularly nice but their ordinary fare was also nice. The restaurant wasn't that busy but the food whisking past us looked nice. There were few staff members on (i suppose it was the night before new year, no doubt girding their loins for tomorrow night). But everyone who worked there was friendly and didn't mind suggesting beers when they noticed our "lost in a candy shop" eyes wondering over the taps. The music was interesting but it was all from a CD player behind the bar and they were happy to take requests so i suppose its what you make of it. But i think the thing to conclude is that you will walk past a half dozen pubs on your way to the waggon (and walk you must!), each will be quiet and filled with locals who do the "turn to watch the stranger" thing country people love so much. But you will find perhaps not a more welcoming bar but one more accustomed to a mixed crowd. What i mean to say is i'm sure given time and effort you could break the crowd at the local bar and have a riot. But you'll slot right in at the Waggon without the need for trying. So there it is, enjoy!

It was within walking distance of the train station, in the middle of town and overall was a lovely experience! The pictures on the website don't do it justice. It's no Hilton but the rooms are clean and quite nice. We had a shared bathroom and were hesitatn, only to find out it was a large and really clean bathroom that we only had to wait for once (5 minutes). We left the window open and there was minimal noise at all. The breakfasts (included) are your traditional fry ups, with the chef being super nice when I picked at my breakfast (the wedding was a bit too epic, I was waaaay too hungover). For the pub part, it was a typical pub...the people and staff were super nice and joked around wtih us all night as well all watched the Olympics Opening ceremony together. I'd definitely stay here again, it was my first time staying at a pub B&B with a shared bathroom and it was a great experience!

Traditional pub grub and I highly recommend the Sunday roast dinner - super value for money. If you like real ale you are in for a treat. They often have a few guest ales on the pumps so there is always something new to try. Being a lager drinker I don't usually try the ales but there is always a good selection. Overall, a great village pub with good ales, great food and brilliant company. Highly recommended.
