And you don't have to travel far across the county to find one.

Here are seven of the best village pubs serving delicious roasts in Norfolk.

This pub is nestled in the heart of the countryside near Aylsham.

Reviewers often praise its extensive menu - but it would be a shame not to sample the large and fluffy Yorkshire puddings and crispy roast potatoes while visiting.

3. The Crown Inn

Where: Harleston Road, Pulham Market, IP21 4TA

Great Yarmouth Mercury:

Visiting Pulham Market is like stepping back in time.

The traditional English village is home to friendly locals and plenty of quaint, thatched cottages which complement the beauty of the surrounding countryside.

The Crown Inn is described as warm and welcoming in reviews and the roast dinners are a particular favourite.

Sample the flavoursome gravy and all the trimmings after exploring the area.

4. The Rising Sun

Where: 28 Wroxham Road, Coltishall, NR12 7EA

On Sundays, the roast dinners are snapped up fast so don't delay your order.

5. The Carpenter's Arms

Where: 57 High Street, Wighton, NR23 1PF

Wighton is a cosy parish just three miles south of Wells-Next-The-Sea.

Step inside The Carpenter's Arms to warm up after a coastal walk.

The roast dinners and desserts are well-enjoyed and the vegetarian nut roast is highly commended.

The roast dinners, like the rest of the menu, are presented beautifully.

Stay afterwards to enjoy a drink or two in the on-site barn.
