The best restaurants in North Norfolk East of England

When we visited with some friends today, I was very impressed about how accommodating the staff were as I have a dairy intolerance. The only reason why I haven’t given it a 5 is because unfortunately there wasn’t anything on the dessert menu I was able to have although having said that they were able to provide sorbet as an option for me

Very disappointed with the roast and the xmas lunch, not hot, Brussels raw, and the roast potatoes were to hard to eat, went with friends who we have taken there before and really enjoyed our meals, they were paying and were upset that it was virtually inedible.

Friday 6 December 1200hrs. I AM IN MY 80s AND THIS IS THE WORST TANDOORI FOOD I HAVE EVER HAD ANYWHERE. A short while ago, I had a takeaway from Holt and reported a review on this website about how bad that was, but this is most definitely the worst Tandoori food I have ever had and almost tasteless. It was so bad that I was unable to finish eating the ordered meal. The owner should be so ashamed to allow reheated food to come to the table, it wasn't even piping hot, and the rice was reheated or recooked and was showing signs of being burnt, not hot and steaming as you would expect and the Tandoori food was almost tasteless, certainly not freshly cooked. Just how can you get All Gobi to the table not piping hot, just warm, is beyond me. My two guests were very polite and they said nothing but my male guest explained the situation by leaving at least half of his meal, so I knew that his food was as uneatable as mine. From my experience, I have had far better curries from a supermarket box. ThIS FOOD was an Insult to Tandoori Food, especially as 86 quid was the TOTAL price. I did think about taking the uneaten food home for another meal later but to have a repeat of this food was too much to choose. Any photo of food is not offered by me and stock photos. It was an awful atmosphere too and so very cold I didn't take my Puffa Jacket off. In the end, I am unable to keep the original bill/receipt given to me and a scrap of paper was issued as my bill/receipt. A complete disaster of treating my friends and never to return to this Fakenham Tandoori restaurant. The frozen ice cream was OK, but my guests choice was not available.

You won’t get a better pizza in England. Dough fresh every time, well stacked toppings and a nice thin crust which doesn’t leave you feeling bloated afterwards. Andy the delivery driver was very friendly, a real positive to the whole business. Regular customer now

As other customers have raised this fish and chip shop like to keep the leftovers from the night before so go in early at your peril Fish far too overcooked and in edible same with the chips that were black Wouldn’t be so bad but we have been caught with this 3 times now and always happens if you go in early not difficult to spot what they are doing

Great to have a Chinese takeaway that was light, varied and leave you feeling fresh! I can definitely recommend the satay, sweet, nutty and rich. The schezwshan pork was decent too. Cash only, so get organised.

Quality : Low. Price : High. Pie of the day "Chicken and Leek" turned out to be Steak and Kidney which was indistinguishable as it had been reheated more than once. The mussels were OK ! Offered (one) free coffee as a 'sorry'. Will not be back.

We booked for a family Sunday lunch, when calling to book there were a lot of hums and ha’s making it sound really difficult to take our booking. The staff looked as though it was dress-down Sunday. The food was well presented and tasty but very expensive for what it was.

we had been recommended this restaurant, so was looking forward to it. sorry but very disappointed had a toasted turkey sandwich and chips with gravy, the turkey was a piece of very chewy cardboard (couldnt call it meat). the sandwich itself was very dry. when the young lady collected my plate she asked if all was well i said no it was dry she said there was gravy to dip it in. never dipped a sandwich in gravy before. not very helpful, shant be going again

Went to Pensthorpe cafe today was a bit apprehensive as our visit last year was disgusting we complained and was offered a free coffee which we declined and walked out, our friend who we meet when we holiday in Norfolk told us that it had changed so we went today and what a differents the food was delicious and the staff were so helpful and friendly, l recommend a visit l give it 5 out of 5 stars.

I never write reviews but the food and coffee were so appalling. We ordered 2 bacon baps and 1 sausage and bacon bap, 2 latte's and a black coffee. Food came as sandwiches not baps - bacon baps were £5.50 for dry medium sliced bread and 2 thin slices of bacon. Sausage & bacon bap was £6.50 for 2 tiny bits of bacon and 1 sausage in dry sliced bread. The latte's were more like cups of frothy warm milk, with no coffee. For £26.00, and being in the catering trade. I was speechless at the food offered. If we hadn't been hungry, I would of sent it all back and asked for a refund. Tablecloths sticky, staff unfriendly apart from a young lad who brought us ketchup. When I spoke to the girl behind the counter to say how disappointed we were, there was no apology. All she said was "well I don't cook the baps or set the prices". No ...I am so sorry to hear that, shall I get a manager or thank you for your feedback". Very disappointed, appalled and quite frankly I would be embarrassed at serving up anything like this.

Arrived with my wife and friends for a coffee in the morning. Served by Sharon. Thank you all for kicking my birthday off to a good start. Very good coffee.

Gone downhill. Had chip buckets a few times over the years but the last one we had at Aylsham lights was just a huge disappointment. £28 for 4 people you would expect quality produce. Only difference between kids cheesy chips and adult one was seemingly a bit of parsley on top, but a price difference of whopping £4. Cheese not melted, just pre-grated flavourless cheese dumped on the top of frozen chips. I had the winter warmer and the sausage tasted undercooked and I had a stomach ache for the rest of the evening. Overpriced, overmarketed, doesn't look anything like the photos on social media. Customer service wasn't great either, grumpy faces, no smiles.

Excellent value for money..friendly staff..clean..pet friendly... well worth a visit.... plenty to choose from on a full, varied menu..
