The pub is beautiful and cosy, the landlady was kind and cheerful and the food.....oh god, the food! We both had a starter of pigeon, not something you usually see on a pub menu and it was superbly cooked and tasted amazing. For my main I chose the steak burger with chips and onion rings, the burger was big, flavoursome and juicy and the touch I like is that the tomato ketchup on table was all homemade, not from a bottle! We will certainly come back to this awesome place if we are ever near the area again because it was outstanding!!

Me and two colleagues took a local's recommendation on excellent restaurants in the area and took a taxi out to the Recruiting Sergeant. Standard beers on offer, but the dinner menu was a very wide variety of local foods and interesting mains. If the waitress hadn't come, we'd probably still be trying to decide on meals. In the end, a cajun-marinated ribeye steak with ceasar salad, the seafood tapas (as a main) and baked fish of some sort. Check the pictures. It's a good thing we were warned to avoid starters unless we were really hungry, because there was a lot of food on these plates and we ate ALL of it. My steak was cooked perfectly and the nice tapas platter looked heavenly while my friend with the fish nearly liked the plate clean. We chose to skip desserts and finished off our beers. Which is not to say that the desserts didn't look tempting, we just didn't have room. Fabulous service, really good food, a decent price. What more can you ask for? We'll be back! Notes. No wi-fi. Really large beer garden in the back looked comfy for a sunny day.

My wife and I have been coming here for nearly three years now and the food is still the best around.

I had heard many good things about this pub before finally walking through the door one Sunday…read moreevening for a pint. The first thing that struck me was the amazing range of beverages displayed on the board above the bar - how can one choose? The crowd this particular evening was about 60 strong, the atmosphere was jovial - unoccupied seats were nonexistent. I manoeuvred through the heaving mass and into the small gap between two punters to place my order at the bar - a gypsy-like barmaid appeared to take my order. Sullen faced and visibly disinterested she grunted in my direction, I took this as my cue to request my desired frothy. "A pint of La Chouffe please" I asked. The response I got back from her was drenched in a thick Norfolk accent, unintelligible to anyone other than her ilk. After twice excusing myself and asking her to repeat her response I gathered that she was telling me that the La Chouffe was off. I went for the Budvar instead, it was served in a straight non branded pint (as was every other drink being drank in the bar). The Budvar was refreshingly cold and tasted brewery fresh. I looked in vain for a free seat inside, but after getting a nostril full of the vomit-like smell at the back of the pub near the toilets I was happy to venture outside and perch at one of the tables. Due to living in close proximity I have been back a few more times sampling many of the stouts on gravity which seem to change quite frequently. The range of beers continue to impress, but the staff continue to disappoint. If they could put some focus on to improving their customer service for anyone who isn't a known customer and also liberally apply some Febreze to the floors this place could live up to its reputation. There is a sense that the owner/staff are resting on their laurels. Watch out, the competition is surely coming.

This is a generally a busy, noisy placein fact I want to break out the adjective raucous to describe this one. Yet at the same time we were able to find a seat in a quieter room over to the right. I had a couple of their quality beers, namely the Hell Cat and the Marmalade Cat. I was also very pleased to see them selling rolls on the bar. They were at such a reasonable price that we bought some to take with us for later in the day!

I have been to this pub a number of times, seven or eight times, when on holiday around the area…read morefor the last six years. Could be great but each time I have visited it seems a work in progress. Apart from the people who are actually holidaying in the very immediate vicinity, it is impossible to happen upon it as it is, as far as I can see, very difficult to find from the main road from Wroxham to Hoveton; it was my brother i law who was staying a few yards away that told me of it and it took me a while to find it. The first time I went there, in 2011, there was a large amount of beers displayed, the last time 2015 very few and just as well as with the footfall I saw, they would have thrown a lot away. I was there at a time of day when the Wroxham hotel bar and the Kings head would be heaving. I can only think that it is the lack of accessibility that holds it back. the only way I can see that you can get to it is approach the inside Marina which looks private, behind the boat workshops and walk past the holiday letting agents offices. I can see no way to it from the North end of the bridge as all the approaches are cut off by water. Shame; could be good as this area could do with another decent pub. LC 09 2015

Who would of thought that as a paying customer enjoying the waterside setting whilst paying for several drinks would lead months later to a FINE of £160!!!!! Yet again the pubs staff seem just not to care about there patrons. " have you purchased a ticket for the car park?" that is all that would be required in my mind to satisfy any duty of care the establishment has for its customers. But no! Not a word, apart from how much you owe for the round of drinks. I have read several damming reviews and most seem to contain the exact same words. "Letters sent to my old address" "Extortion" Well we shall be visiting it no more. I warn others to stay away!!!!

I feel totally let down by this hotel! I parked here during a busy August summers day to have lunch…read moreand then hire a boat. I read the signs saying 'Free parking if you buy food or drinks here'. I bought a parking ticket, went to the bar bought food and drinks and asked about the free parking. They did not tell me how to avoid the penalty instead I was told by the person behind the bar that everything is fine and the parking would be free. They should have asked for the PCN number on my ticket at that point but I thought they will take it off the bill, but it doesn't matter anyway because I have just bought a ticket so I will be covered by that anyway. The company that The King's Head hotel were using was Britannia Parking. They sent the fine letter to my old address. The DVLA had not updated their data so the first time I came across any letters was by chance in October because I checked my old address for mail. By this point I had already missed the extortionate early repayment fee of £100 and had to pay a baffling £160.00, or face court action from their legal company BW Legal . The legal company refused to accept any information I provided to them. They did not even offer a dispute service. I paid by cash on the day I visited The King's Head hotel and did not keep the receipt or parking ticket as these items were thrown away as it was two months since the event happened and I did not hear anything about a fine until October. With little evidence I had few options apart from going back to the speak to them in person and explain I had bought a parking ticket and bought food. I asked if they could do something to prevent me getting fined. The person behind the bar asked for the PCN number and said he would sort it. Nothing happened. I then followed up by calling the manager who said he would sort it and confirm that it would be resolved by email, but nothing happened. I never heard back from them. I have just had to pay out £160 just before Christmas to avoid going to court. I will never park or eat here again and will make sure that everyone I know hears about this scandal through word of mouth and social media and I will do my best to warn others to never go here again. I feel total distrust towards The Kings Head pub. The fine amount is completely disproportionate, they completely ripped me off and failed to help me! I am utterly horrified by their lack of understanding or help.
