    Excellent service, but the food was poor. Chicken burger had no taste and the fish & chips was very dry.

    The Dun Cow is my Wife’s first choice for her birthday and the team never disappoints. Cool service from the friendly team. Excellent food and a happy vibe make the trip each year memorable for us both. First class.

    Food was beautifully executed and imaginative. Lovely locals, attentive service and good value without compromising on standard of care. Loved the festive decorations, lights and roaring fire.

    We visited the Dun Cow for a lovely lunch a few years ago and were keen to return, however sadly it has changed. The food was nice but the service was rushed and abrupt and the staff were not particular friendly.

    From the warm and friendly welcome as we arrived and throughout the whole experience we were well looked after. The food was well cooked and very tasty and excellent value for money and we look forward to returning when we are North Norfolk way in future

    Such a great place even better if you are a fan of crufts. Better in summer - when dog owners have more space outside.
