"Definitely overpriced and underwhelming food."
"The vegan burger appeared to be a cheap frozen vegetable patty sandwiched between some dry bread."
"The food was a bit below par, scampi was lukewarm and we weren’t sure if the burgers were cooked through."
Location & Atmosphere
Pros:
"Brilliant location overlooking the sea."
"We had a wonderful sea view and could hear the waves crashing at night which was very relaxing."
"Beautiful view of the sea from our table, nice and cosy vibe and the food is beautiful!"
"At the seafront end of High Street sat the welcoming 'The Two Lifeboats' pub/restaurant with its large but cosy indoor seating and glass walled outside Seaview patio area."
"The location is lovely, being right on the sea front."
"Great location on the seafront with sea views and a more sheltered courtyard to the back."
"Lovely place right on the seafront in Sheringham."
Cons:
"Not really a pub anymore."
"There is no proper lounge for guests to sit in and in the evening when we wanted to sit and enjoy a glass of beer, we had to wait for the diners to finish eating and leave before we were able to move in."
"Told to move from the window seat as there was only two of us."
"The easiest way to get to our room was via an outside metal fire escape. Not the best of luxuries."
"The wifi was a bit hit and miss and some TV channels were out of signal."
"The pub itself is very nice, be careful where you sit though as the door is constantly opening and it was a cold night when we were there, we constantly were getting a very cold draught."
"It is operated by teenagers with no supervision."
Value for Money
Pros:
"Food was delicious and worth the money, service was quick, can't fault it ☺️"

"The food didn't disappoint for a pub."
Cons:
"3 jacket potatoes and 3 drinks cost £38 which I wouldn't have minded if it was good (£4.50 for pint of coke). Avoid this place if you want a good meal have fish and chips instead."

"Prices are up for the food and there are better options at other places."

"Food was nice but expensive."
"Sorry £6.75 for a small white wine with a dash of lemonade."

"Unfortunately the rooms are very cramped, dated and not comfortable."
"Black mould in shower.... Odd tiles. Broken but by shower... Light on all night in corner and outside... TV was hit and miss... Overall very disappointed.. No handrail for steps down to passage..."
"The salad was small and unappealing and the onion rings were doughy."
"The bad point of the stay was the bright, green, emergency light over the bedroom door which was on 24 hrs."
"But our room was very small. So too the showerroom."

"The staff need to be trained to keep their heads up and notice people waiting for, menus, drink and food orders and being able to settle their bills."
"No organisation what so ever more staff standing around and no one doing any work."
"If I have a complaint and I'm not anti dogs at all, but there were too many for me and they were barking as well."
"The wait staff clearly did not want us there."
"Pompous bar staff and not very bright, tell you that you can't order a drink from the bar then seat you somewhere that you cannot see the beers on offer."
