Fantastic country pub. Lots of history mixed well with modern comforts. Wooden beams, great atmosphere, and a warm welcome. Decided on the spur of the moment to have a meal out for just the two of us, and picked The Pelican in Talconeston. So glad we did. The experience was excellent all round. Beautiful food, well made and perfectly cooked... More

What a gem of a pub! Got taken there today by my daughters for a Father's Day treat and what a treat - stylish decor, friendly welcome and some fantastic food. And despite it being called The Pelican it didn't come with a large bill attached! Will definitely be back.

The first time we have visited here and we were not disappointed. Menu choice excellent, service was very friendly and the food was amazing - we all had something different and all were beautifully presented and well cooked. A lovely atmosphere - will definitely be returning here.

Stayed here for 3 nights over May Bank Holiday - very friendly & welcoming with nice room and lots of big soft towels. The food was well cooked and presented - only gripe was breakfast to early especially on a Sunday so we skipped it twice - a bit more flexibility would make it a lot nicer and maybe a... More

We've been here a few times, both for food and just for a drink. There's a nice atmosphere. You can either sit in the bar which has a traditional pub feel, or in the restaurant at the back which is a bit more formal but still very comfortable. There's also a beer garden for sunny days. But the best thing... More

We went for Sunday Lunch at The Pelican with the family. The food was fantastic and the service was great. We thought it was reasonably priced and the portions were generous.The staff were friendly and made us all feel very welcome. Would recommend seeking out this hidden Norfolk gem.

The Pelican staff know how to look after a pint of beer. All the ales (and lager - they have Peroni on draft) taste great as the lines are kept scrupulously clean. If you like a decent pint and some nice honest, well cooked, food then make a visit to this nice little pub. It is an unpretentious and hard-working... More

Had Saturday lunch with 3 friends. All our meals very good (maybe a little more meringue and a little less cream in the rhubarb mess?) but service not quite up to scratch for in such a good restaurant. And we realised after meal that there was a fixed price menu - we had not been offered this and felt 2... More

We visited for lunch with friends and had four in our party. Very pleasant surroundings and ambience and helpful and friendly staff. Three of us had the fixed price lunch menu at £12 for two courses and at £15 for three courses. We had a choice from the three course menu of chorizo salad ( soup was available) to start... More
