    A busy Friday evening at the Dun Cow, the service was excellent, very polite, helpful and efficient. My partner had the steak and thought it was delicious in terms of quality and cooked perfectly. I had the chicken breast in a bun and was disappointed, the quality of the chicken was good but the rest of it not as good, the chips only tasted of deep fat fryer oil and it was a shame that there was not any salad served on the plate apart from a piece of tomato and lettuce in the bun. Sorry to be negative about the chicken dish. We will definitely visit again as everything else was great. Thank you

    This is the second time we have been to this lovely pub. The food is excellent not your usual pub grub. A varied and well thought out menu Great service and lovely friendly atmosphere. I had the seafood stew with chorizo which was wonderful. Mu husband had the lentil curry which he really enjoyed Coffee machine wasn't working but we were going on to Sheringham so no problem.

    Lovely place! Well-kept Wherry at just the right temperature, good food (the halibut on Saturday was excellent, the fish and chips always are), staff are very friendly and service is good, even when it’s very busy: always a good place to take friends and family
