    We stayed one night in one of the rooms, so that's why we booked a meal here. It's a lovely pub/restaurant. The car area was freezing though, luckily the restaurant area was warmer. Food choice was good, and was really nice. Gutted the lamb special was sold out, would've liked that more than a burger.

    Lunchtime meal for birthday celebration. Staff very welcoming, we were shown to corner table in main dining area. Very comfortable and general noise level good. Food was served in timely manner and was without exception excellent. The atmosphere was relaxing, and we didn’t feel rushed in the meal. Overall very good experience and would recommend without doubt.

    We have used the Honingham Buck on several occasions and always been very happy with the service, food and ambiance. This was no exception, the only downside was that some items had run out so we had to compromise slightly. Not a major issue but this was only 7.30pm so a little disappointing. We will come again.

    We had enjoyed the food here for years. But it isn't as good nowadays. We still visit occasionally as the ambience is lovely, and the staff are usually great. But the food is variable. Last night we enjoyed the starters apart from the chicken, which was dry and didn't taste of peanut. The roasts were good and the battered fish, but the chips were absolutely awful! Dry and stale tasting. The toffee pudding was excellent. We complained about the chips but the waitress, although very efficient up to that point, didn't apologise and was dismissive and clearly didnt know how to deal with complaints. If only this pub could sort out a few of the basics it would be great again.

    The usual warm welcome. Swift drinks service. A new and much improved menu. Will need to go back to try all the different starters! Only hiccup, they forgot to bring potatoes with the crab dish. this was quickly rectified. I wish they would return to Aspell cider, though. Looking forward to our next visit.
