A warm welcome from our team will greet you at The King's Head. Once inside, you can expect a cracking pint, a glass of lovely wine or a G&T at the bar, along with some delicious classic British dishes from the kitchen.

The pub is much bigger than it seems. To the pub's rear is a charming dining room, lovely outside seating, and a grassed beer garden.

    Great to see pub/restaurant so busy. Nice welcome and.friendly throughout. Food delicious, we had the pork roast. We would debate whether one slice of pork warranted the current price of £19 and particularly (as is the case nowadays for some absurd reason) sides of either cauliflower cheese, red cabbage were £3.50 each for a good helping. Where we sat was a bit draughty, more noticeable as it was a near freezing day. However, overall, a good experience and will return, but hey watch those pork slices!

    A wonderful Sunday roast - we were friends meting to catch up. We all ate something different and all thoroighly enjoyed our meals, we never felt hurried as you can in some restaurant/pubs. I was especially pleased with the changes I asked for (no Yorkshire pudding and extra vegetables instead).

    I have not eaten such a wonderful tasty roast dinner in my life. Wow. Yes it's pretty expensive, but when you eat it, you'll know it's worth every penny! The service was amazing. The food came out extremely fast, and was really hot as I'd expect it to be. Very friendly staff, absolutely cannot fault this at all. Afterwards we explored the village, around the castle (yes a castle), the church, and over the largest common in Norfolk I hear. Such a great afternoon. Thank you all staff at New Buckenham Kings Head and to New Buckenham itself. Beautiful!
