Kings Head
About
The Kings Head Bawburgh is a family‑run gastropub and luxury bed‑and‑breakfast that blends historic charm with modern comfort. Established in 1983, the pub has grown from a sporting club with squash courts and a bowling green into a 17‑th‑century freehouse celebrated for its locally sourced, seasonal cuisine. With six boutique B&B rooms, two luxury self‑catering apartments, and a welcoming dining room, it offers a versatile experience for both day‑time diners and overnight guests. Guests enjoy a menu of gourmet classics with imaginative twists, prepared from the finest Norfolk, Suffolk and East Anglia produce. The restaurant is renowned for its warm hospitality, free parking, dog‑friendly policy, and recent awards—including two AA rosettes and an AA Gold Star. The B&B rooms are named after historic figures linked to the establishment, each combining classic charm with modern amenities. The self‑catering apartments provide a separate, quieter space for those seeking a more independent stay. Conveniently located near Norwich city centre, the UEA, the Showground and the Norwich Hospital, Kings Head is a perfect base for exploring the Norfolk countryside.
