About Red Hart Inn Bodham
On The St in Holt, Red Hart Inn Bodham is a village pub serving lunch and dinner from Wednesday to Saturday, with roasts added on Sundays. Homemade dishes draw on locally sourced ingredients, including game, and the kitchen turns out sausage and mash alongside a game pie, with steak served with a choice of sauce. Real ales brewed in the area run alongside the food menu. A small area out the back offers campervan pitches with electric hook-ups, and dogs are welcome throughout a dedicated section of the pub. Outside, a beer garden provides further seating. Live music events run during the week, adding to the regular schedule of service. The combination of home cooking, local ales, and space for travelling visitors shapes the pub's approach to both passing trade and locals settling in for the evening.

Customer Review Summary
Sausage and mash and the braised venison special draw repeated praise, with reviewers describing home cooked meals, generous portions and melt-in-the-mouth results, and the game pie and gammon also singled out as excellent. Fish and chips gets a standout mention from one traveller, and the beer and cider selection, including a local Perry cider, comes up alongside live music and quiz nights. Several call the staff friendly, chatty and patient. Complaints recur around inconsistency and price: one Sunday roast was called bland with thin gravy and a tiny piece of crackling, another diner found a steak overcooked in flavour and undercooked in the mushrooms for twenty five pounds, and one game pie contained a sharp bone shard that the reviewer says wasn't handled professionally. Multiple reviewers flag the cost as high given the food received. Even so, several describe returning or planning to return, and one who broke down nearby was glad the delay led them in for dinner.

“Car broke down so whilst waiting for recovery, discovered White Hart! Very friendly helpful staff, best fish n chips ive had in a long time! Food came quite quickly, became busy, as we left, we got there at 6.30. Nice menu. Glad we broke down 😀”

“Absolutely stunning meal, generous portions and all clearly home cooked. Had the braised venison special with herb mash and heritage carrots and it was melt-in-the-mouth gorgeous. Desserts were equally as delicious. Staff were friendly and welcoming, taking the time to chat while showing genuine pride in what they do. I would very highly recommend and we will certainly return.”

“Fantastic pub, they have a small area for a few campervans out the back with electric hook ups for £10 per night and plenty of outside seating. The waitresses were friendly and chatty. The local Norfolk brewery supplies them with ciders and ales, I enjoyed the Perry cider at 7.5%. The breakfast was excellent and the evening meals looked really good with good size portions. There are events a few times a week including motorbike meets, music and quizzes. I stayed for a few nights (solo traveller) and was made to welcome.”

“We visited the Red Hart for Sunday lunch last Sunday. We haven’t been to the area for a few years & wanted to return to enjoy the superb Sunday lunches we had at this pub in the past. We were extremely disappointed by the quality of the expensive Sunday roast we were served. The food was bland, tasteless, vegetables undercooked & the the gravy was thin with no flavour. We ordered roast pork & expected a good amount of crackling but were served a minute piece! All in all, the Sunday Roast was very disappointing & expensive for the quality & certainly nothing like the superb food we had experienced at this pub previously. A big disappointment! Having said this, all the staff in the pub with outstanding & attentive.”
