The Walpole Arms

About The Walpole Arms

Tucked into a pretty corner of Norfolk, this old country pub earns its reputation with families on Sunday especially — the kids' roast comes out nearly the size of an adult's, which delighted one seven-year-old, and the yorkshires, crispy potatoes and veg get consistent praise. The children's menu arrives with crayons and colouring, and there are high chairs. The garden is the real draw in warm weather: grapevines, well-kept beds, plenty of room to spread out with a pram, and free parking means no circling. Inside is snug, all sturdy olde-worlde furnishings, and it's a sensible bolt-hole when the rain starts. Staff are friendly and have cooked around allergies on request. Two honest notes: it gets genuinely busy, so food can be slow at peak times, and portions vary between dishes. Book for Sundays. Dogs welcome too.
