    Asked for a quiet table at booking. Arrived and felt where we were was not really quiet. Staff very helpful and moved us to a much quieter table. ( Needed quiet as dad has dementia and funds lots of people talking very difficult) Menu was varied. Food came quite quickly and was delicious and very nicely presented. Wine was great and reasonably priced. Staff very friendly and polite. Dessert was huge and lovely! Choice of coffees freshly made. A little on the pricey side but overall worth it. Would definitely go again.

    The Buckinghamshire Arms is a very friendly pub/restaurant beside the National Trust property Blickling Hall. Its a great place to drop in for a meal before or after a long walk in the park or a stroll around the old hall and gardens. Dogs are welcome and as such the floors are tiled for practicality and can look a bit grubby. However, the food is excellent - generous portions with tasty twists on everyday favourites. Lots of choice both for size of meal and what to eat. A good choice of desserts too. Definitely worth another visit.
