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!!

This pub has not made the mistake of abandoning being a pub in favor of trying to be a restaurant. Starters of garlic bread and chicken wings and BBQ sauce were extremely tasty and a great start to the meal. The fish pie for main was fantastic. Think of all the fish pies you have had where you play hunt the fish - this was the opposite. Full of tasty salmon and haddock. The haddock and chips for the other main had light batter and was beautifully cooked. As far as pubs that serve food, this was was great value and served very nice food. Add in the view and this pub is well worth the visit. Try it.

The building has its origins in the 16th century and according to local repute, William Tyndale (he of Bible translation fame) lived there for a while.

It also offers bed and breakfast and Brisley is centrally located in Norfolk making it an ideal base from which to explore the county.

I had vegetable lasagne which was served with peas, carrots and green beans, NOT saturated with cheese which is a common fault of veggie lasagne. Hubby had a cheese salad, loads of salad, new potatoes and a bread roll. Dessert I had ice cream, hubby lemon something or other which he enjoyed. They coped very well with a coach load of noisy middle- aged reprobates. The noise in the dining room from all the chattering was deafening. We then went on to The Old Vicarage Gardens, East Ruston, also highly recommended.
