Harden's survey result
Summary
This “very welcoming pub” is the most commented-on of those on the north Norfolk coast (perhaps due to its recent ‘Bib Gourmand’) and though not super-foodie “serves hearty meals and enjoys a buzzy atmosphere”. “The ingredients are selected from local suppliers, cooked with skill, and served by a young, efficient and enthusiastic team.” In June 2022, it was acquired by East Anglian pub and restaurant company The Chestnut Group.
Summary
“And relax!” – this “very nice village pub” near the north Norfolk coast does everything it should – including very solidly rated pub grub. The patio looks out to the village church, which adds to the charm of the place.
Summary
“Well-above-average pub grub” – “nothing too complicated, but all very well done (not to mention tasting delicious)” – is on the menu at this “fab boozer near the north Norfolk coast”. Top Tip: “do choose a table in the pub rather than the conservatory restaurant”.

For 32 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

Wiveton Bell Restaurant Diner Reviews
"Good Sunday Lunch/Dinner Menu let down be the very slow, and inattentive service on a not overly busy evening. The food presentation was more "transport cafe" style, lots of it piled on top of each other and an over full plate, certainly not refined ot carefully presented. The food itself was just acceptable but far too large a meal to finish. THe ambience was nothing to shout about although there was plenty of raised voices in the background noise. Would never return for another visit, quite dreadful."
"everything you could ask for from a gastro pub"
"Under new ownership, and the food lacked a bit of sparkle this time. Whether that is due to new owners or just bad luck, it is no longer quite as special as it once was. "
