The Ostrich

Great place to stay, old coaching Inn, full of character. Fantastic bar, friendly staff, amazing food. Room is big, warm and cosy.

Stayed overnight on a walk from Thetford to Walsingham. Their winter timetable was in operation which meant no evening meal available but the village fish and chip shop was perfect! The staff Shelley and Warren were very helpful and friendly. The room was comfortable and the bathtub very welcome for a soak after walking all day. Continental breakfast substantial. Would stay here again.

The Ostrich is a fantastic ancient building, with the biggest fire place I've ever seen ! The staff were happy and helpful. We had an amazing steak sandwich and ploughman's lunch. Wonderful old pub, wonderful food.

The Ostrich hours suggest they stay open until midnight Fri and Sat but do not be fooled. As a local pub in a quiet village they only stay open if there is enough people to. We were fortunate to get a drink at 1030pm last Sat after a wedding and only because their were hotel guests who had also just come in. The service when agreed was good at the time by the young barman, unfortunately it was clear the lady manager was not impressed and disappeared for a time before coming back in to tell everyone to go at 1130 and made it clear they had done us a favour staying open......strange approach for a pub to take. It was a shame as the beer and the place itself was quirky and nice but overall welcome was definitely lacking.

Booked a table for me and my family to visit after we’d eaten here over a year ago which was amazing! We failed to realise that since our last visit the pub has changed ownership for a significant downgrade. Our table was booked for 12pm on a Sunday, where we arrived 10mins early for a social drink. We stood at the occupied bar for 20mins without so much as a hello from the staff. Not one of the three staff members (made up of what can on oh be assumed as the owner, her daughter and her friend) asked if we were ok, wanted anything or god forbid if we wanted a drink! We decided to give up after 25mins of standing at the bar waiting for any ounce of service. Dreadful service and would not bother again!
