About This Pub
Ah, The Market Tavern – it's one of those places that just feels like a proper local gem, you know? From the reviews I've had a look at, folks are raving about the food; it's all cooked fresh with generous portions that won't set you back much, which is brilliant if you're after something hearty without the hefty price tag. The staff sound like absolute stars, always cheerful and on hand to sort you out, making every visit feel warm and welcoming. And if you're up for a singalong, the karaoke on Sundays is a real highlight that adds a cheeky bit of excitement. On the downside, it's a shame there's no website to quickly check what's on offer or the latest updates, and being in the thick of a market area, it might get a tad overwhelming when it's busy – you could end up jostling for a table. Still, with that solid 4.4 rating, it's clear this spot does a lot right, and I'd reckon it's worth swinging by for a pint and a bite, especially if you're in the mood for straightforward, enjoyable pub vibes without any fuss.

Sometimes a place is so good you have to keep returning, this market pub is one of them..
The food is really well cooked and the portion size and value for money is second to non.
The outside seating gives the customer a great view of the hustle and bustle of this local Norfolk market town and the inside is cosy and almost timeless.
The staff were a credit to the management each time we visited, and really helpful and accomodating to my visually impaired colleague.
Last time I had a burger today a wrap but both were mouthwatering.
There was a good selection of food on the menu but do check if you have any food allergies and ask.
This can get busy during the day which is a sign of how popular it is.
Although there is an air of a local pub for local people about it, you are still guaranteed a welcome and superb service
