Eating and Drinking in East Dereham, Norfolk*

East Dereham, Norfolk Pubs, Cafes, Coffee Shops and Restaurants

Food

• The Hong Kpng Chinese Take Away for the best sweet and sour anywhere around! Otherwise the best food is in the village pubs - Brisley Bell, Brisley; Darbys, Swanton Morley; The Windmill, Yaxham; Kings Head, North Elmham.
• Dereham is infested with Indian resturants nothing else available, for a good chinease take away try the China Dynasty down Stone Road, try the seaweed.
• bakers oven, usa chicken and that new kebab shop
• USA CHICKEN, STAR OK, KING BURGER
• WE WANT MCDONALDS!!!! (or burger king)
• The Indian restaurants in Dereham are fine. Edible food at reasonable prices. Forget it if you want to sample any other reasonable quisine. Oh, forgot to mention the fish & chip shop in the market square. It's not bad, but I prefer the little fish & chip shop in Shipdham, a village about five miles south of Dereham.
• Somerfields mmmmm Pot Noodles, uuuuuuughhhhhh!
• Its got a couple of curry houses I suggest going to Swanton Morely and eating in the darbys though
• I've been to all the curry houses in Dereham and the Bombay Tandoori is by far the best! (Norwich Street)
• Dereham has the best curry house in the world, it is called the Megna, try it some time.
• Dereham has four curry houses despite one being closed currently due to water problems!!! The population of Dereham being around 12500 (this must be more curry houses than Bradford per head). On Sundays you can have half price curries.
• Chick-King.

Pubs

• Surprised to see that no body has mentioned The Brisley Bell at Brisley - about 5 miles or so north of Dereham. A really excellent pub with a superb menu - especially if you like fresh fish. Always good bitter on draught - including two or three guest ales. Jeremy and Mandy, the owners, make everyone feel very welcome - locals and tourists alike.
• The Plough & Furrow is a T**t's place full of bald middle aged men chatting up teen girls, for a good time try the Cherry Tree or for spitoons go to the Red Lion.
• Cherry Tree Dereham! Marshy and Jo run a great pub with a great atmosphere! And no, I don't work for them! Well worth a look if you're in Dereham
• try the coachmakes opp neatherd high. they serve u as long as u dont look 3 years old
• PLOUGH , COACH, RED LION, BULL, CHERRY TREE
• Come and visit Longham White Horse!!!!!!!!!! It beats all the rest on here! So maybe the barman tends to be a little bit grumpy and the cook tends to be pissed most of the time it will be worth your visit, believe me!! Well at least you may bring some exitement to Longham- if anyone can!
• The Swan in Gressenhall is ALWAYS worth a visit.
• The Bull in East Dereham is a quality establishment; features include a big screen and pool table and open log fires which gives it that warm glow. With scrumptious food to boot, The Bull is the place to visit for a relaxing and freindly time. Located on the High Street, on the left past Norwich Road.
• The Fox & Hounds at Lyng is worth a visit.. only 6 miles from Dereham. 6 real ales including Abbot and mild.
• Millwright Arms. Tasty Barmaid, Great atmosphere, Doss house of Dereham YFC. Most Tuesdays.
• the george hotel at the top of swaffam hill shares its name with dicken,s cat and is most agreeable.
• My vote goes to the Millwright Arms because its like spending an evening at your Nan and Grandads. Top decor and its as close to getting absolutely wrecked at you grandparents as I hope youll ever get.
• Coachmakers rules!
• Loads - Railway Tavern fine, if quiet. Market place pubs tend to be louder and livelier.
• The Bull fits its name but we used to go ther anyway

Cafes and Coffee Shops

• Bakers oven in Nelson Court best coffee and cakes around. Hmmmmmmmmmm
• Worth going to Norfolk Kitchen - try the all day breakfast - one great fry up!
• avoid the florin. it aint 1 of the most hygyinec places i know
• NORFOLK KITCHEN AND FLORIN
• bakers oven
• My advice is.....dont go anywhere near the FLORIN AAAAAGGGHHH....it is such a dive!!!

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide.
