I have never experienced such an appalling non-welcome to what was to be a pleasurable last evening out with our friends who have been staying with us for the last few days. The woman who "greeted" us almost said hello, the beer on offer was sub standard and not ready for serving. The landlord was called over and was dismissive... More

We visited the restaurant with friends who were staying at nearby Barnham Broom. They had had a meal at the Ugly Bug earlier in the week and were greeted like old friends. We were invited to have a drink in the bar area first and the landlord, staff, and other guests were all very hospitable. Good choice of well kept... More

I regularly stay here, while away on business. John, Alison and all of the staff have always been very friendly and welcoming. The rooms are extremely bright and comfortable. The food is always excellent using fresh, local produce. I would thoroughly recommend the Roast Quarter Duck, Ugly Bug Salad and the Mixed Grill. I am always tempted by the Full... More

I have been to this restaurant many times, mostly at lunch times and have usually had an enjoyable meal. The Ugly Bug salad is to be recommended. This time I went in the evening and found the Restaurant had a good ambience and we enjoyed the Baked Cromer Crab with fresh vegetables which was very tasty. When we arrived, the... More

John And Alison are the... More

This is my second visit to the ugly bug inn.....and again well worth it. I had the Norfolk sausages with cheesey mash and gravey....one word....Devine. The mash just melted in my mouth. The service was as always cheerful and quick although the resturant was very busy. Nothing was too much trouble. I did not have a dessert but my husband... More

First impressions were not great - dark dingy bar area in need of a revamp. The presence of a large hairy dog was unwelcome, not just because I don't like dogs but because I was eating here! We didn't find the landlord or bar staff very welcoming. The use of one chalkboard to take orders also delayed our order being... More

The Ugly Bug Inn is a charming pub with plenty of space in the restaurant. We waited with our drinks in the pub area while John gave us our menus and showed us the Specials Board. We all had plenty to choose from; Mussels and the 3 cheese soup, which were on the Christmas Specials. Roasted Downham Duck, Liver and... More

We had a Christmas lunch on Sunday 23rd December. Our family goup of 8 were all delighted with the food and service. Many places seem to view Christmas as an opportunity to raise prices and lower quality but the Ugly Bug Inn did neither. They accomodated the vegetarians in our group and even varied a dish to suit a particular... More
