Booked a greenhouse for my husband birthday and the set menu with ribs of beef. Totally amazing food and the greenhouse is a lovely touch. Everything about the Sunday lunch was perfect. Smoked salmon starter delicious, ribs of beef was succulent and perfectly cooked medium rare it just melted in your mouth. Lots of veg we had carrots and asparagus, and also some gorgeous roast potatoes topped off with a jug of peppercorn sauce. The beef you carve yourself at the table. There was so much meat! We ended up taking a doggy box home! Just managed pudding my lemon posset was really nice.The greenhouses there are 3 of them, are all decorated differently. They have fairy lights, umbrellas, a heater...
Two of us spent a week sailing on the Broads and this is a pub that we stumbled on next to the river and what a find. I believe that it has only recently been refurbished and it has been tasefully done out. The staff were pleasant, helpful and efficient.My friend had scampi and I opted for their Lion burger. We had to wait a little while for the food to arrive which is a good thing in my book because it does tend to indicate that everything is being freshly cooked. Now, I am not particularly a fan of beefburgers so when I say one is good, it will be and I have to say that mine was excellent. My friend, who often chooses scampi, said that the scampi there was particularly good. I am not famil...
This was a trip down memory land after last being here some time in the early 90’s. I heard good things about the pub and so we decided to visit unplanned when down this way.This was the first week of inside dining on the roadmap and the pub was really well organised, with staff making it feel relaxed, yet safe. We had a couple of burgers, the Lion Burger and the Chicken burger. Both were excellent, but the coating on the chicken burger was really really tasty. Tables were well spaced, clean and the restaurant was airy. This was a lovely meal out and trip back to the area. Good luck with your summer team.
We have been coming to Norfolk for our dog holidays for a number of years and never visited The Lion at Thurne. We sat outside and the COVID measures were very good. Extensive range of ciders and beers. Excellent friendly and efficient service, nothing too much trouble! Definitely the best southern fried chicken burger and chilli jam ever had! Good Lion burger too. Friendly and dog friendly. Only criticism would be that quite a wait for food, but could be to do with first day of restrictions lifted so people can eat inside so maybe busier. Would definitely recommend and will come back for sure!! Book a table now
Dropped in for lunch on a Monday, friendly staff quickly accomodated us and dog welcomed (offered water bowl and biscuits). We chose the pizzas which were big and very tasty, lots of topping and nice interesting ingredients ..posh pizza. Service was good and all staff were lovely and chatty and happy demeanour. Its a rustic gastro pub vibe, lots of outdoor seating and also greenhouses looked like cosy spaces for food with friends. Will definitely return next time we 're on hols. If there was one improvement I could suggest it woukd be to have some 'home-made ' puds desserts.
This pub is an absolute gem of a place, staff are friendly and very knowledgeable, food is exceptional .My fave is the great drinks menu with many guest, options ciders, ales and lagers, I had fat cat ipa, which was great and most of my family worked there way though the cider menu.We will be returning again and telling our friends/family to give it a try too.Keep up the good work, you have a amazing pub
Popped in to The Lion at Thurne today for a drink and ended up staying for lunch. It was really busy and we were told that the food could take up to 45 minutes which we were happy to wait. It didn’t take that long and even though it wasn’t on the menu, I had a lovely freshly prepared salad. Very friendly staff and great service. We shall definitely visit again and definitely be eating there again!!
moored up at the Bridge and a short stroll to the Lion. wow.. so friendly. doggie bed and fresh water for the dog.Large G&T for mrs B and 2 pints of Local beer for yours truly. chatting with other scousers who had the same idea and all made a dash for the covered area when the shower came. Hence the 2nd pint.. haha. highly commendable pub Book a table now
We have just returned from an awesome meal including our own Rib of Beef in our very own private greenhouse. Great service brilliant food and brilliant beer.. . Just a wonderful way to spend time with friends . We even had our own speaker to play our favourite music as we relaxed. What a great asset to both Norfolk and the Broads
