   Although the starters - mushroom on toast with delicious red onion marmalde,and the onion rings, were fine,BUT a bit disappointed with the roast chicekn dinner - the chicken was getting on dry, the roasties a little overcooked as was the Yorkshire,but we ate most of it - my personal gripe was finding small pieces of beef on three of the four plates, and personally choosing not to eat beef - had it said "may contain beef" on the menu i would have avoided it - it may have been in the gravy which,if intentional should have been listed as an ingredient and if unintentional should be considered as cross-contamination which is worrying either way. We did not complain as it is not in our nature in a crowded pub restaurant which was quite noisey

   Always enjoy the Honingham Buck. Staff always efficient and extremely friendly. Would be good to see a change of menu which has become repetitive. The Sunday roast was okay, except for the Yorkshire pudding which was overcooked and like paper.

   Venue is lovely, and easy to get too with plenty of parking. We were taken to our table ( squeezed in between 2 larger groups) who were loud and we couldn’t hear ourselves - not a great dining experience. Food was average, just okay but not the best. The menu is seasonal and changes regularly and I suspect other choices may have been a better option. Service was excellent and we were looked and felt welcome as soon as we entered the restaurant. All in all, it was okay but the experience diluted by the noisy and intrusive atmosphere.

   Had a birthday meal at the Honingham buck. Most of the food was great however the buck burger wasn't, solid piece of fairly dry meat in the centre of a large bun. Chips were great and stayed warm through the meal.

   Lovely decor, prompt service, just had a sandwich, but bread was soft and fresh and fries were delicious. Will definitely go back and very much recommend.

   The meat was a bit fatty and the treacle over powered the rest of the dinner. The dessert was lovely. We had sticky toffee pudding and it was delicious. The beef however was a bit fatty. The service was excellent

   Our Sunday roast was very tasty and filling, if a little heavy on the carrots! Excellent potatoes and roast beef.

   The food and service is always of a high standard. This particular occasion had a very tall, middle-aged gentleman servicing and what looked like potentially managing the place who was not welcoming, not polite, not courteous or friendly and hence why my lower than normal scoring. The usual polite and welcoming staff were otherwise there whom I'd have welcomed been served by instead.
