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!!

It's by far the best pub in Thornham, which might not seem like it's saying much considering the size of the town, but they've squeezed at least three of them into the area. Try the deals on the Pimms cups during the summer - one jug, four straws and you're as good as gold. As a 16th century pub, the ceilings are low, doorways are even lower and there are strange farming tools all over the walls. But enter the dining area and things are considerably spruced up. The menu is much more diverse than the pub's and every meal I've had there has been unfailing. Kids can play out back in the play area - much to the annoyance of the caravan owners directly behind it - and there's outdoor seating for when the sun decides to put his hat on. Never stayed in the rooms, though I know people who have and they've been quite pleased with them.

Lovely little pub set in a charming village, room was satisfactory, comfy bed, good sized bathroom…read more The price for a one night stay I felt was a little bit too steep in my opinion only because the amount I paid for the room made me expect everything about the room should be pristine. However, putting my pickiness aside it was worth paying just because of the location as I wanted to escape the hustle and bustle of city life, and this place ticks those boxes. Pub restaurant serves good food, although the service was a tad slow, but the meal was worth the wait in the end, as it was delish.

We stayed at the King Head for a 4 night stay in June, opting for bed & breakfast and a deluxe twin…read moreroom (made up as a large double). Overall, we had a lovely stay. The hotel is well located tovisit the nearby Bircham Windmill, Houghton Hall, and the North Norfolk coast. The hotel was built as a pub in 1860, incorporating an earlier building, and modernised again more recently, so it has a contemporary rather than an historic vibe. The hotel reception is accessed from the rear car park, but there is a front entrance opening into the lounge/bar, with the restaurant along the side. There's a lovely patio outside, shaded by an Indian Bean Tree, and next to the car park is a garden with a children's play area. Our room was in the modern extension at the rear, and was very spacious, with a nice bathroom with shower/bath. The room was well equipped - a sofa, and 3 armchairs, desk, and a spacious wardrobe. A hairdryer and desk fan were provided (there's no air-conditioning in thew rooms, though is in the restaurant). The bed was super comfy, with lovely white bedlinen; the bathroom had some nice herbal shampoos and shower gels and lots of very fluffy towels. Everything was spotlessly clean, and room service were very obliging (it was very warm when I visit, and they happily took out the duvet from the duvet cover, so we had lighter bedding). We had breakfast in the restaurant every day, and two evening meals. Breakfast comprises a selection of teas and coffee, toast with preserves, cereals, yoghurt, and berries, and a variety of cooked items, from the full English (vegetarian option available) two scrambled egg with fresh salmon, and eggs Benedict. All the items are prepared to order, with waiter service (i.e. there's no buffet). We found the quantity quality very good indeed, and service was swift and friendly. The same was the case for the evening meals; we had two courses, with soft drinks, each time coming in at just over £30 a head (service excluded). On the Sunday, we had the Sunday Roast (one beef £23, one vegetarian £20), which came with a huge Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes - and a selection of eight vegetables! The menus normally have one or two vegetarian items, but the kitchen can be flexible if asked. The car park at the rear gets busy in the evening when diners join the hotel guests, but it is possible to park in the road. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay, and plan to return.

We spent a long weekend in Norfolk and were looking for a local place to have a nice evening meal…read more Whilst out we found a leaflet for the King William iv so decided to visit. Thankfully I called to book ahead as we got the last reservation for the evening. Having now eaten here I can understand why as it's very popular and with good reason. The menu is fairly extensive and includes lots of local produce from seafood to meats and game. The selection was so great it took us same time to decide what we were going to have. Everything ordered came exactly as we had asked and the food was wonderful. I could say that my starter mushrooms in garlic butter was a bit too generous but for the price it was excellent value. There are a number of different seating areas in the King William IV. It's obviously grown to meet demand. We had a fantastic evening, the staff were very attentive (yet not overbearing in any way). The Manager made it his job to ensure everyone was happy with their food and the service which added a nice personal touch. If we visit this part of the UK in the future we will definitely have another meal the the King William IV
