Contribute FeedbackThe King’s Arms has garnered varied reactions since its recent refurbishment. While some visitors enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere and well-kept ales, others were disheartened by the absence of food service and the noise levels during busy hours. The welcoming staff and charming decor added to its appeal, promising a pleasant experience for locals and tourists alike. Nonetheless, concerns regarding cleanliness and external conditions, such as litter and parking, were noted. Overall, The King’s Arms stands as a lively pub with potential; however, patrons may wish to check in before expecting a full dining experience.
Traditional ale and atmosphere Local customers mixed with us visitors made a fabulous mix. Clean tidy and steeped in history a visit to an ancient pub in the heart of the town made a real ale fan relaxed and included. Cheerful atmosphere and cheerful beer was enjoyed in the heart of Norfolk and the forests of Thetford. See for yourself
We came a couple of weeks ago as a group of 3 friends! There was a lovely girl who served us, Stacey I believe her name is and she was lovely! Despite running around and being busy doing a million different things she made sure we were okay and checked on us multiple times. There was another male member of staff who was stood around not really giving much care to what was happening around him! We then had a lovely chat we Stacey and she told us she was pregnant! She deserves a medal for running around and more help from her colleague!

Visited 3 times since reopening after a major face lift but Not eaten there so this is more a review as a pub. The face lift outside continues with a major refurbishment inside done to a very good standard. The bar staff were welcoming and they have a 3 hour happy hour with a pound off Guinness and 50p off beer every day of the week(I think) 3pm to 5pm. So excellent value on those days but no overcharging other times. Only two downsides for me, 1st was parking, nearly non existent outside, or you park down the high street, if you can find a spot or the local car parks but they are free. The 2nd was, perhaps due to happy hours , on 2 of our three visits it was very noisy anywhere near the bar and you cannot get very far from it unless you are eating. We will go again, those two criticisms did not put me off, just hope to get a parking slot near and a table away from the bar if noisy.
Great pub recently refurbished, very good music and attentive staff. Will certainly return. Really high point for us was the disabled amenities, best I have seen in a pub.
