    One of our favourite pubs in North Norfolk. Can’t fault anything apart from it would be nice if you could do a Sunday Roast. Keep up the good work.

    We attended the Quiz Night at the Dun Cow and had a great evening. Service was quick and friendly, food was very good and the whole team at the Dun Cow made us feel welcomed. Good value too.

    Very pleasant lunch. The service was friendly and efficient. The food was nice. The Guinness was nicely poured but the glasses weren’t perfectly grease free clean so the glass didn’t look nice.

    It’s always good at the Dun Cow, all year round. Today was the perfect lunch on a clear winter’s day after a long walk. Fantastic moules frites, paired well with pints of Timothy Taylor Landlord and Moongazer Pintail. Lovely table service from attentive and delightful staff. Dog friendly in the bar which adds to the warm, cosy atmosphere. (As always), the best pub on the North Norfolk Coast. Just don’t tell anyone… (oops!)

    Very warm welcome today by the lovely staff at The Dun Cow. Good choices on the menu, with a wide variety of specials, small plates etc. My other half (birthday boy) was delighted to see four good ales available too. He tried the Landlords, which he said was extremely well kept (he is very particular…..) Lovely pub, great food and all the staff are very professional and efficient, we will return!
