Service
Pros:

"The service is excellent."
"Very good service. Really nice cake."
"Staff very good. A must if you are in sheringham."
"Called in for breakfast early just after opening time. The tables were cleaned as we sat down. Impeccable service with matching food quality."
Cons:
"But the service is non existent, we waited outside as instructed for what felt longer than it should have to be seated and then when we were seated the staff ignored us for that long we were on the verge of leaving."
"The reception was cold and unfriendly, to say it politely."
"Terrible experience today. We order two coffees when we arrived, were seated at a table and then waited almost 30 minutes before they arrived."
"Service was very poor and slow, staff disinterested and wanted to be somewhere else."
"While the menu seems good, the service is terrible. I stood waiting for 25 minutes to be acknowledged."
"We waited for 15 minutes and had to ask where was our tea?"
"Half an hour wait for a cup of tea...!!! What a joke!"
Food & Drink

"Great fresh food, great selections."
"The food was great."
"Food was reasonably priced, service faultless and a very tasty meal for us all."
"The food was amazing, excellent quality and value for money."
Cons:
"Only one bacon and sausage is ridiculous for £8.20."
"Overpriced crab sandwich had no more than a smearing of filling in some very ordinary mass produced sliced bread."
"The victoria cake was average and the pancakes looked nice but were not pleasant to eat."
"The food seemed overrated, the fruit was clearly frozen and only just defrosted and not worth the money."
"Sadly a soggy microwaved sausage roll and dry slice of cake was a disappointment too."
"The meal I had was awful to say the least."
"This is the 'crab sandwich with salad' that arrived for Over NINE POUNDS. The quantity of salad and the type of bread seems to bear no relation to the salad and bread shown in the online menu crab pate photos."
