Atmosphere & Location
Pros:
"Lovely atmosphere with other diners."
"Close to a beautiful beach."
"A fantastic pub with great food and a great atmosphere."
"Very welcoming, food served all day."
"Nice place that is a gem in the Norfolk countryside."
"The atmosphere was beautiful and what I enjoyed was the genre of music playing on the radio as it reminded me of my grand parents."
"Very pleasant atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and the food is very good."
Cons:
"Strange place really, not a pub nor a restaurant, dogs allowed, (disgusting), sitting next to a table where dogs layed on the floor was beyond me! (I think unhygienic)!"
"Music was loud and not pleasant, food was poorly presented, overpriced although my burger was really good."
"It was very quiet and no atmosphere."
"We were plagued by flies everywhere in the dining room and on top of that, it's a haven for dog owners and there must have been 8 digs on the premises with their associated noise hair and smell."
"Not very comfortable large gathering of people at two tables very close together."
"A few red flags on arrival - the pub’s down at heel exterior, the attached camping-definitely-not-glamping site, way too many things on the menu, sticky table - alerted me to pitch my expectations low in the hope of being surprised."
"We did not feel welcome."
Service
Pros:
"The staff were very efficient and friendly."
"Really good food and very friendly service!"
"Service was both polite and swift."
"The staff themselves were pleasant."
"Staff very efficient and friendly."
"The most attentive welcoming and accommodating staff."
"Great and attentive service, no rushing despite being mega busy."
Cons:
"After a disappointing welcome by one of the male owners."
"It then took ages until someone came to take our order and then there was another very lengthy wait until it arrived."
"We got the a waitress who clearly didn't want to be there first she brought the wrong drinks which was rectified with a sigh then when my partner asked for sauce they were flung on the table with so much attitude it made the next table laugh."
"We waited for our order to be taken in the end I ordered at the bar."
"This was our third visit as the past two were so good however this time was disappointing firstly there was no to be found to ask where our table was and ended up queueing for 10 mins at the busy bar."
"Unfortunately we waited 30 minutes before anyone paid us any attention."
"They then ignored us for the rest of the night."
Food Quality
Pros:
"The food was great and the price very reasonable too."
"Food wholesome, beautifully cooked, value for money."
"The food was delicious, fresh, came out piping hot & prices are great value for the portions."
"We had the roast dinner today, which was lovely!"
"Food was great with plenty of choice."
"The seafood is excellent too - sadly no crab when we visited this time, but the seafood platter was filled with alternatives and really was exceptional."
"Lovely food, perfectly cooked to my taste, good size portion, excellent quality."
Cons:
"Expensive, child size portions, mostly cold virtually raw veg, lasagne hard burnt and swimming in fat."
"Over priced."
"Chicken was over cooked and under seasoned."
"The pork wasn't as cooked as we like it, the beef was tough as old boots."
"It was very tough not like a sirloin at all, full of gristle and very hard to chew."
"The roast was ok, but not enough to feed an average man. Roast potatoes were rock hard."
"The pork was poor quality, full of fat, tough."
Value for Money
Pros:
"The food was very filling and perfect so if you have a big appetite then this is the pub for you."
"The sirloin steak was melt in the mouth & the cod & chips were lovely, huge portions!! Desserts were outstanding too."
"Food fantastic & very well priced."
"Really good food at reasonable prices."
"Lovely, reasonably priced food with great hospitality."
"Pretty good. Food was really nice, service was quick and polite and prices were very reasonable."
"Food was delicious and perfect portion sizes."
Cons:
"Boy they know how to charge for dinks though, pint of orange and lemonade was more than a pint of beer!"
"The bill came to £40 inc a small tip and 2 soft drinks. Expected far more for that especially as we had had a v similar priced pub lunch meal the day before in Aylsham which was delicious, good quality food and presented well."
"Also £7 for 3 scoops of ice-cream for a child is horrendous!"
"Prices seem to have risen now £8 for soup as a starter."
"For £16 I did feel this was extremely over priced."
"Food is overpriced, paying £20 for steak expecting to be cooked nicely, but no."
"I was disappointed even paying the full price £46 just for a sunday lunch and 3 drinks."
