SquareMeal Review of Wiveton Bell

Standing right by the local church, directly opposite the village green, the 300-year-old Bell personifies North Norfolk’s pubby heritage – although it’s currently reaping the benefit of a serious ‘gastro’-makeover that has added polished plank floors and chunky tables to its considerable charms. Local ingredients get top billing in this splendidly rejuvenated boozer, so expect unpretentious but well-rendered food along the lines of game terrine with fig and pear chutney, slow-cooked Briston pork belly with mustard mash and superlative fishcakes. To drink, sup ales from Norfolk breweries such as Yetman’s and Woodforde’s, or pick a glass or two from the well-chosen wine list. The Bell also does a mean Sunday lunch (book ahead). At the back is a sleek suntrap garden, and there are four stylish bedrooms if you can’t bear to leave.

Superb Sunday lunch, very well cooked and served hot. The Bell was very busy so there were some delays but this didn't detract from our experience.

The Wiveton is always good, with a friendly atmosphere, efficient staff and that all important "buzz" that comes when a place is at the top of it's game. On our last visit (a Monday evening) it was, as usual, busy and alive with the sound of people enjoying themselves. We both had cod as a main, a beautifully presented loin and of super quality.
