From the land
Prime cuts of meat from our local Butcher, and vegetables from local suppliers.
Established 1652
A family-run country inn in the heart of Thetford Forest

Our Story
Sitting opposite the village green, the Crown has offered an informal welcome since 1652. Once a renowned hunting inn — and home to the local magistrates' court — it has worn many guises over the centuries.
Unusually, the inn is built into a hill: step in at ground level for the bars, or onto the first floor for the restaurants & garden. It has been family run since 1992, with the same easy welcome for travellers, walkers, cyclists, families and dogs alike.
Dine
Two dining rooms, each with their own character — the Old Court Restaurant and the Club Room — serving home made food with locally sourced produce.

Prime cuts of meat from our local Butcher, and vegetables from local suppliers.

Fish and seafood from the Norfolk coastline & sustainable sources, served all year round.
A selection of regularly changing homemade puddings, to finish.
Stay
