Roydon pub The Three Horseshoes offers a lovely lunch stop en route to King's Lynn and Hunstanton

On a crisp, clear day it seemed a good idea to hop on the motorbike for a bimble around the back roads.

We stopped off en route to Lynn and Hunstanton at village pub, The Three Horse Shoes in Roydon, which we pre-booked for lunch at 1pm.

It has a good reputation from friends and family who have visited there so we thought we'd try it out for a weekend lunch.

Their menu is varied, with starters, main courses and desserts and vegetarian options and changes daily or weekly.

From March 6 the pub kitchen will be open from 12-9pm, the bar open from 12-11pm (10pm on Sundays), delivering a daily food service.

Unfortunately they were out of non-alcoholic gin or lager, and though they do low alcohol Ghost Ship, I had a cranberry and lemonade and my partner, who was piloting the motorbike, had a pint of lime and lemonade.

Both drinks were refreshing and mine served how I like it, in a wine glass with ice and a slice.

For starters I had the tasty cheese and jalepeno nuggets which came with a lightly dressed salad garnish and sweet chilli dipping sauce.

My partner had nachos with salsa and garlic mayo which he said was really good (£5.50).

For main course I had the moving mountains burger with brie, roasted pepper, pickled onions,sweet potato fries and salad (£12) and my partner opted for gammon steak with chips and pineapple (£12.50) minus the peas.

My burger was really tasty, made from 'fake meat' which is pea protein, soya protein and oyster mushroom protein.

The sweet potato fries were lovely, with some sea salt on and there was a good choice of sauces to have with it such as sweet chilli. It was a tasty light salad dressing too.

My partner enjoyed his gammon and the pineapple was nicely charred and he liked the chunky chips.

It was a generous helping both times but the puddings sounded great so we went for it.

I had the strawberry and cream pannacotta with vanilla ice cream (£5.25) and Mark decided on the trio of lemon which was a tart, a posset and a sorbet (£5.25).

Admittedly I don't have a sweet tooth and would usually have cheese and biscuits, and found the pudding, though well presented, not as good as the other courses.

The pannacotta was too subtle in flavour for me, though the blackcurrant compote was sharp and tasty and the ice cream was really nice.

Equally my partner would have liked more of a sharpness with the lemon trio, particularly in the tart and sorbet, but said the posset was really good.

We finished with a cup of tea and coffee as it was a cold day and our only gripe would be there was a bit of a draught where we were sitting.

All in all it was a lovely lunch stop where we were welcomed in our biker gear, with friendly staff and a relaxing atmosphere.
