    27 December is a busy time for all good pubs and restaurants. The Bucks Arms was no exception. Though obviously under considerable pressure, the staff worked quickly and efficiently to take orders and bring food. The menu is extensive and varied, with separate sections for meat, fish, vegetarian, a children's menu and small plates and starters. We never reached the desserts as our first two courses were very large and very filling. Excellent cooking. Helpfully, the menu was on the website. The location is, of course, sublime and the pub itself unassuming and slightly old-fashioned, a wonderful, traditional, place. if you're visiting Blickling and want a meal or a drink at the bar, don't miss the Bucks Arms.

    Great food and great service, especially with a mess up with guests who got their dates mixed up. Thanks to Ruth for her understanding and great service

    Great meal with exceptional food. The atmosphere was cosy and pleasant. The staff were clearly stretched but still managed to provide a nice polite and professional service. We come here regularly and will continue to in the future.

    Great appetiser, main, & for those who could manage it, dessert. Really good menu and the dishes we chose lived up to it. The portions are generous so don’t think about sides. There’s a nice ‘snug’ bar to have a pre-dinner & post dinner drink. The staff are absolutely lovely (as well as professional). It was full so there was a lively ‘buzz’ but it was just right, gave that atmosphere without intruding. Third time here, won’t be the last.

    For us today’s star was a beef casserole and dumplings. Ideal winter food. Followed by the crumble for desert. Heaven!!

    The roast turkey with Christmas trimmings was possibly the best roast dinner I’ve ever had - it was delicious and huge! All our food was excellent and service prompt and friendly. Our first time at the Bucks Arms and it will definitely not be our last!
