Andel Lodge Hotel & Restaurant in King's Lynn and West Norfolk

We had a great meal here ,as a couple, a few weeks ago and recommended it to our relatives, fast forward to the to my mum’s 84th birthday yesterday and 8 of us visited and were not disappointed! The food was delicious and the staff were lovely (the lady we settled the bill with even said that if she’d known it was a birthday meal she would have put up a banner!) I can’t recommend this place enough! Well done the Andel!

Fabulous Sunday Lunch today with family to celebrate 70th birthday. Delicious food, friendly staff. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!!

We stayed here on Saturday 18th February. The staff were above and beyond helpful and polite. The accommodation is clean and full of character and it's 3 acres of land is a real British garden with views of horses paddocks and the Norfolk fens. we're looking forward to returning later in the year and seeing the gardens in bloom!

First visit to this lovely place. Very welcoming on arrival. Such a warm and homely place. Had the Sunday roast but as I don’t like the meats that were on offer, the chef very kindly cooked a chicken breast for me and my mother and was not disappointed. The food was great and the service was impeccable and the staff were so very friendly. We will definitely be going back to this restaurant.

A romantic weekend break away. Beautiful garden. Amazing room with spa bath and the views from the bedroom of the deers in the fields surrounding the hotel was an added bonus. Evening meal was steak cooked just how we wanted and couldn't fault it. The young gentleman who took care of us, I think his name was Ronnie was lovely. Breakfast was great and even had smoked salmon. Will definitely be back

Our family had an amazing Christmas day at Andel Lodge. We were unable to stay due to our family commitments so made the 200 mile round trip to spend Christmas together. Food was superb. A friendly family atmosphere. Staff were very attentive and efficient. A relaxing unhurried meal. Exceptional quality. Thank you so, so much. We thoroughly enjoyed our day.

brilliant service would recommend to anyone great stay clean room good service great food housekeeping

Great stay arrived on Saturday morning we asked if we could park the cars which was fine and caught a 20 min bus into King's lynn. When we got back to hotel had a beer which did not taste right, but issue was solved quickly and got a new pint very quickly with very little fuss. Steak in evening was spot on along with the other 5 dishes also the starter pate impressed as sometimes you don't get enough toasted bread etc with the pate but this time was more than enough. Nice family rooms with verandas outside with there own tables for each room a bit like U.S Motel set up with parking for vehicles outside rooms. Rooms in main building also roomy with baths and showers. Nice and friendly staff breakfast was also good nice beer garden and looks to be a good wedding venue also. Will visit again

We used this restaurant three times for evening meals and for daily breakfasts during a recent stay there. The dishes we had, especially the soups, the salmon and prawn salad and the plaice, were excellent in quality and quantity. We can also recommend the breakfasts if you are staying at the Andel Lodge; the proprietress was unfailingly obliging and friendly and the breakfasts were very good, though a little limited in choice. There were no vegetarian options, though meat could be replaced by an extra egg; natural yogurt, tomato juice and a wider range of boxed cereals could be added to the breakfast menu. It was apparent that experienced wait staff are hard to find currently, as our dinners were served to us by different young people on each evening, though each one had obviously been well trained in how to take orders, deliver wine etc. Venues for evening meals in this district were very limited, but we found that dining at the Andel Lodge was a pleasure on each occasion.

We wanted somewhere for a Roast Sunday lunch - and spotted this hotel/restaurant. Fairly quiet - and service was a bit slow. But this was more than offset by the quality, and quantity, of the meal. My wife had the beef - which she enjoyed - while I had the lamb (well worth the £2 extra) - which was lovely. Recommended.

Excellent food and attentive service. We have had a table for eight with no problems. All our guests commented on the food. Lovely staff and a good atmosphere.

Unfortunately we invited the family to Christmas lunch with us. We had my grandson who is 12 with us. He asked if the Yorkshire puddings had been cooked on the sun. They were black as were some of the baked potatoes. Obviously been waiting in the oven for hours. Our main meal didn’t arrive until almost 3pm. The beef was advertised as rib which it most certainly wasn’t. Hard to tell as the slice was so small. There were three waitresses to serve in the region of 60 people. Never again.

Have passed the Andel Lodge many times and each time commenting that we must give this a try! Let down at Arbuckles, we tried our luck and they were able to feed us! Nice friendly atmosphere, and nice restaurant, but we Elle Ted to eat in the bar. Food excellent and good prices. Varied menu and was able to satisfy all our pallets. ...only negative that stopped me giving 5 star was the fact that service was slow. There was only one person in the bar area, serving drinks and taking orders and whilst really friendly the delays were inevitable as she could only be in one place at a time. That being said the quality of the food was worth the slight wait. We are looking forward to going back.....would be nice if they had an extra pair of hands.

Our family of 6 had our Christmas lunch this year at Anvil Lodge. So very disappointing. We were all crammed in , no space, and the service was appalling. Waited so long between courses. Food was brought in all plated up including gravy like a transport cafe. Champagne served in a marquee type place that smelled badly of gas and not enough chairs. Will never go there again

A very warm welcome had lunch in the bar food cooked from scratch so it took a bit of time witch we don't mind price very reasonable and food was very tasty & very hot witch we liked but the bar area was cold as this was December i would have thought the heating should be on

We attended for a group lunch. Two people to serve 40. One behind bar in lounge serving also in function room. Slow unsure service and expensive for some. Food received and was ok but some experienced a long delay and one gluten free meal had terrible gravy. With only two serving the food it took a long time and was not a controlled event. This was far from what had been a good previous experience. We will not go again.

We spent time here recently in one of the cabins attached to the main building with our dogs. The room was clean but tiny and dark and the bathroom smelt musty. It was badly in need of an update I can’t imagine when it was last done. The beds were uncomfortable. The road was noisy constant traffic including lorries which kept is awake most of the night. It was good to have a small grassy area at the back to take our dogs for a wee. Lots of tea coffee and toiletries provided which was nice and most of the staff were very friendly. Due to my husband being taken ill we had to stay an extra night, we were charged over £90 for this which I thought expensive compared to what we had paid for the rest of our stay. Whilst packing to leave one of the dogs pushed a biscuit under the bed. I put my hand under to get it but couldn’t reach it so I got a wire coat hanger from the cupboard to get it out. I was shocked to see an unwrapped razor blade appearing. Luckily I hadn’t sliced my fingers. I took it to the reception when I checked out and gave it to the man there. He just looked at it and mumbled something about workman. I didn’t get an apology or a show of any concern. I felt he was very rude. We were not happy with our accommodation and won’t be going back.

Stayed at the Andel Lodge while attending a motor racing event at the nearby Adrian Flux Arena. Overall the room was nice. A little musty but that soon aired out. The bed was one of the most comfortable I have slept in. On the down side for a family room the bathroom was lacking. There was no anti-slip mat on the gloss tiled floor which for kids is not good. Also the hot water was very very hot from the tap. You will not find four star facilities or decor at the Lodge but you will find a warm welcome and a comfy bed.

We had a glorious Sunday lunch again today. Its the best in the area. food is always piping hot, served well and presented. Choice of three meats with four different vegetables and roast potatoes. Homemade Yorkshire puddings and lovely gravy.

We have just had a wonderful weekend at andel lodge for my mums wedding anniversary. The sat evening was the main event as they had originally had their wedding here they decided to go back and celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary their too. Had a wonderful 3 course dinner, food was Devine. The waiting staff were spot on. Very accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. My son arrived late as he was working but they held his food back for him and he had it when he arrived. We then went back and joined our family for breakfast the next morning and once again this was fab. Gorgeous fresh cooked breakfast with a few fussy ones changing things but again they were happy to do this. My brother had a room which accommodated their dogs for the weekend too. Very enjoying weekend had by my parents and we all left very happy and fulfilled. Thank you to Tina and her crew. P.s your roast beef was to die for.

We were there to stay close to family. The room is so cluttered with furniture it was very difficult to move around so you could only sit/lay on the bed once you were in the room. The room fronted the hotel and the noise from the traffic was unbearable. Some of the staff were nice & friendly but some (in particular the Asstnt Mgr) was downright rude. We cut our stay short to get away from the place. Definitely would never stay there again.

If you only want a main course forget it as you have to pay for 2 courses, you do not get a reduced charge if you want a main course only.

Popped in to see if still serving Sunday lunch. Just after 2pm. Said could fit us in. Food was lovely. Roast pork and beef was served on decorate plates .Service was excellent. Venue is historic. Will be back.

Great food,atmosphere and service. Popped in for a quick lunch and as always the food was exceptional.

It was fairly quiet when we visited for Sunday lunch. The place itself is clean and well decorated. Staff very pleasant, helpful and friendly. Our meal was delicious. Cooked perfectly and steaming hot. Generous portion sizes too. A very pleasant visit.

Everything was absolutely perfect, this is the place to go if you want 5 star service and food, it would be impossible to improve the experience of this venue. FANTASTIC CUSTOMER SERVICE and food was DELICIOUS. A wonderful place to have a meal and drink.

We did not stay in this hotel, just had lunch in its restaurant. We had to wait a long time for our food because everything was cooked to order. This would not have been a problem if the food had been really good, but it wasn't - it was very average pub-style food.

We only stayed one night unfortunately. We were treated very kindly and given a very nice room with a really comfortable bed. Breakfast was excellent - I recommend the bacon! Many thanks. We hope to return,

Very unhappy with service at daughters wedding breakfast no staff, Got orders wrong but we felt awkward trying to rectify it ,Ran out of desserts(We had actually picked prior to attending) very slow at the bar.Although we put A hell of a lot of money over the bar ..not once in 4 times of meetings were we ever told of a (Spend a min of £15 on a debit card (Or its cash only) . food was hot and tasty but all in all dissapointed.Emailed 3 times and not 1 reply very rude can't be bothered to reply ..

En route to a Wedding over the weekend in Diss, we spotted this and decided to have lunch. The car park was very full, but i did just manage to squeeze in.

Después de hacer 3 h necesitamos comer y aunque no Food Grade michelin todo lo que hicieron lo hicieron bien, tanto en la presentación y utilizando ingredientes cocinados. inicio Mucho tiempo invertido para hacer lo que la cocina era muy agradable de ediciones bien tradicional pub clásicos.

Decidimos probarlo para la cena aniversario y tuvimos una comida agradable que era muy bien y poner una sonrisa en nuestras caras. Tuve Pato para platos principales y este estaba perfectamente preparada. Mi mujer es vegetariana y hay un menú a la carta muy bien atendidos. Realmente disfrutamos de nuestra noche.

Food was lovely but don't think the catering could have been a lot better as not enough food was done for a fifty person sit down cold meat and salad that had no lettuce and food ran out after ten people although after having to ask for mor food some was brought out but was very disappointed

Habíamos conducido pasado muchas veces antes de decidirme a probarlo hoy. Nos trataron de una cálida bienvenida por parte de nuestro anfitrión y muy educado y atento personal. La comida era buena, varios entrantes y tradicional almuerzo asado, cordero y cerdo, muy buen precio y mucho para comer en los alrededores muy relajante. Nos alojamos por dos horas y media, no hay presión para salir. Gracias por un almuerzo super.

Esta es la segunda vez que hemos tenido una comida de domingo aquí y la comida es estupenda, el servicio maravilloso y genial de precio.

A fantastic three day Christmas break with friends from Norfolk Lovely family run Hotel & Restaurant

We visited for an evening meal with two friends ~we had drinks in the bar where our menu choices were named, , then taken to our table in the restaurant when our meal was ready . There was a lovely, relaxed and friendly atmosphere and was tastefully decorated for Christmas. Our food was lovely and hot, very tasty and the steaks were cooked to perfection. The service was very good and we just wish we had visited sooner. The outside of the property looks very inviting and we were not disappointed on entering. We're giving back for Sunday lunch very soon so cannot wait ☺

My partner and I visited this hotel while on training in Queen Elizabeth hospital. Our room was decorated nicely and the bath was a corner bath/jacuzzi which was a pleasant surprise. After having an unfortunate car accident during the day causing my partner to be injured, we came back to the hotel to find the bar full of merry men, due to this we explained to the hotel staff what had happened to my partner and that we did not feel up to sitting with a group of relatively loud merry men near the bar to have dinner, so would it be possible to have dinner in the room? The reply we got was " well I shouldn't allow you to, but you can as long as you don't order anything messy off the menu" (we felt like children!) We both ordered burger and chips as we couldn't think of anything 'cleaner' and thanked them for the allowance to dine in the room. A member of staff later apologised and said she should have allowed us to have had anything we wanted from the menu.We left the following morning, breakfast was not too bad (eggs was a bit watery and undercooked). Overall, however staff was very polite and did acknowledge that they had been a little too strict about eating in our room, as it was under extremely exceptional circumstances, not just a request through preference. We would visit this hotel/Lodge again if we were to visit Kings Lynn again as overall the room was very nice, staff were polite and it is good value for money.

Had a Masonic ladies lunch it wasI well booked in advance menus were chosen so we knew what we were getting roast beef Yorkshire pud you can't go wrong apple pie n custard was mine beef was so thin it was like pulled beef potatoes were good and Luke warm veg looking forward to my apple pie n custard I got ice cream as there was no custard at all it was ordered so should have been there and I don't do ice cream apple pie that came without custard was sent back as it was a purée inside yuk!! Service was three people foe a lot of people a complete shambles at £25 per head and cold coffee but, the tables were Laid out beautiful we weren't eating the tables though we went for a nice lunch that didn't happen for many but some said the salmon was good and guess what ? I don't eat fish fussy me eh

Once again we have just returned from a fantastic evening at Andel Lodge. Great food, brilliant company, excellent service. From the moment we walked through the door to the moment we got back in the car to come home it was an evening that could have not been bettered. The food was yet again exceptional, and the service was 5 star. Looking forward to our next visit which will be very soon. Many thanks everyone at Andel Lodge.

What can I say but fantastic, fantastic, fantastic. .......Food great and all home cooked ( no microwave food here) and fresh.Accommodation is spotlessly clean and well equipped. Staff are very welcoming and very,very helpful to all the guests needs.Would highly recommend this hotel if your looking for a stay in the king's Lynn area.Regards Pete 's from wirral

went Wednesday evening, 8 of us, and had the most wonderful meal, excellent service food was as always cooked to perfection, and Gluten Free no problem. as always a lovely welcome

Superb gardens well set out. Hotel decor to high standard. Hotel staff more than friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Think they prefer to book in advance but we turned up on the off chance but still managed to get a lunch. Staff very pleasant and cater for all needs .

Yet again the food was great, a different chef this time a young lady called Tina was exceptional again. Made to feel very special and nothing seemed to be too much trouble,really looked after and was made to feel that we were welcome, very friendly and a really clean happy and cheerful place to dine. The smoking place outside was more like a lounge than a place to smoke in and the gardens are stunning and just right for a pre dinner or after dinner stroll. Will be back very soon. Many thanks.

Had lunch here yesterday. We were getting late & phoned ahead to see what time food was served to & they said 5.00pm which is about the only place I know locally that doesn't stop serving at 2.00pm.The bar & restaurant were not at all busy, so we were served pretty quickly & the food arrived quite promptly. They were flexible enough to take orders outside the standard menu which was good - it's the little things that count!The baguettes were nice, fresh & soft and were well filled which was great!Would definitely go there for lunch again & would recommend others try it too.

Good Sunday lunch in what my colleague described as "your grannys front room". Very dated and not cheap.Looks like it has its regulars and Mine Host (not) wants to keep it to those regulars. Did not feel at all welcme

stayed here for a couple of nights, very comfortable, a bit quiet on a Sunday night but we knew when we booked that the restaurant and bar would be closed. everything was all go for Monday night bar and restaurant available. The breakfast was lovely, I had kippers and my husband had full English. Tea coffee are available in the room and what was really good everything was topped up every day so if you had eaten all the biscuits they were replaced. yes you can always ask for more but so much nicer to be topped up.

Yet again everything was perfect from the welcome by a lovely gentleman called Derek, to a very friendly and confident young waitress and a superb chef called Matthew. It made our special night for the celebration of our wedding anniversary a evening too remember, for the lovely food great service and atmosphere that could not have been any better. We are already planning our next visit, to a place that where nothing seems too be too much trouble and customer service could not be any better. Many thanks all at Andel Lodge and see you again very soon.

Perfect in every way. It would be impossible to improve the food,service and atmosphere of this place. Everything about Andel Lodge is 10 star.

What a lovely place!!Arrived a little stressed out having booked when I saw the place and a bit late in the evening too, note to self - when you go some where make sure you don't leave your laptop there :)Hospitality perfect, it's a family run place and everyone is really friendly and welcoming; it's a very friendly place.Very comfortable room, great food too and a super atmosphere in the bar.Best ham, egg and chips I've had.Very nice breakfast too in lovely surroundings.Many thanks will stay again.Photo probably doesn't do my deal justice.

This hotel is on the A10 just south of Kings Lynn. On arrival, we were very impressed by the bar area and dining room which were beautifully appointed and tastefully decorated.I have no idea what the rooms were like in the main building as these were all taken and we were given a chalet room out the back - a bit like an American motel room only much smaller.Our first impression was that the room was, like the main building, beautifully decorated. However, this soon proved to be wrong. The first thing we noticed was the smell. The whole place smelled dirty. The sheets appeared to be clean but when you smelled them, there was a stale, dirty, musty smell. It was the same with the towels. I don't know the reason for this, maybe everything is washed on a warm instead of hot wash or maybe the carpet needed cleaning.A lot of the surfaces in the room had a layer of dust and the horizontal parts of the front door and bathroom door mouldings were thick with dust, obviously hadn't been cleaned for many weeks.On first examination, the bathroom looked very nice - until we went to use the shower. The grouting on the tiles was black with mould in several paces, the shower was ancient and the shower tray had a large crack.There was very little space in the bathroom to put anything down and there were no hooks on which to hang clothes.I can't fault the friendliness of the staff or the breakfast which was excellent.In conclusion, I have to say that, in view of the poor state of the room, the price of £79-50 per night was extortionate.

Visited here on 28th November Room very cold - we booked in late and it would seem the heating was off. No shower - nice bath if that's what you want . We are supposed to be staying again on 31st December but having second thoughts after landlady rather sceptical about our comments of cold room

I have stayed twice now, for business and each time have been welcomed warmly by the friendly staff. Really cosy bar area and has an overall homely feeling. The food is homemade and superb and my breakfast, freshly cooked and piping hot, was just wonderful. Lovely family business and great value

We stayed for one night, checked in by a chef?!Rooms are ok however the bathroom makes me feel like I visited a relative rather than a hotel/ lodgeBut overall good sleep and comfy bed. Also all amenities included which was a plus

There's a nice relaxing feel to this place. A warm welcome on arrival, a relaxing drink in the bar, give menu orders and after a short while we were shown to our table. main courses were served within a few minutes. We both opted for Roast Turkey, with Yorkshire Pudding, baked potatoes and fresh vegetables. For dessert we went for homemade apple/raspberry crumble with ice-cream plus a bowl of strawberries. The service is very good as was the food. Well worth a return visit. At £13.95 it was more than some carvers on Sunday but the food quality was worth the extra cost.

I've been here twice and love it's odd feel! There are lots of family photos about and nicnaks to look at inhe dining room. It almost feels like you are in someone's home as a very welcome guest. Lovely food traditional style

We arrive early as surprise guests for our friend's 60th Birthday. We had a very warm welcome and were shown to the bar area in order to have a drink. Pleasant conversation whilst our drinks were being prepared and served. When our friends arrived, we were shown into the garden where we could have drinks whilst choosing our menus. The table was beautifully prepared (although not sure about the plastic diamante covered base plates). The young waitress that served us was very pleasant and efficient. As the starter, I had the Leek & Potato soup which was really delicious. For main course, my wife an I had the Smokey Mountain chicken. This was piping hot and delicious apart from there was too much BBQ sauce which tended to overpower the chicken. A nice touch was that we were served a sorbet after the starter in order to refresh the palate. Did not bother with a sweet but had freshly brewed coffee and after dinner mint. The only downside was the length of time from start to finish. We were a party of 9 but there was no one else in the restaurant. From serving the starter to finishing our coffee, the total time was 2 hours 10 minutes.

We sat in the garden to eat our lunch amid the tinkling of a small waterfall-very peaceful and beautiful. Lovely food and service was excellent.

Return visit after several years with friends for Sunday lunch. We all enjoyed roast beef with all the trimmings, good veg, hot and tasty. The portions were good and service was efficient. They were busy and clearly several tables were regulars as we heard " see you next week " It seems that they have got a loyal following. We would go again sometime for a value for money Sunday lunch.

First time here. Decor and layout a throwback to 1950s very ornate and fussy. Service great food my wife had beef I had Lamb. The beef and veg were both very good the lamb was very fatty and of varying quality some stringy some tender and lean. Both had pie and custard which was cold and ruined that part of the meal. Personally wouldn't go back there in a hurry. Obviously works for a clientele who return many times but not for us

Horrendous! The food was medioca!!Firstly the place has so many doors to enter through it's ridiculous! The reception was nice and attentive but the building was so old and creaky it let it all go out the window. There was only a small handful of people in the restaurant which was dark and dingy and looked like a physics den! The tables were nicely laid out but this didn't compensate for the food. The menu was plain and safe. I ordered the lamb shank in mint gravy and my husband ordered fish and chips. We were the first to order and we got served after all over tables! No idea why it took so long as we ordered nothing extravagant! While we waited with rumbling bellies flies dive bombed our table. There was no apologies for the hour wait for our foot. The floorboards couldn't handle the stomping of the receptionist and made for a rocky sitting. The kitchen door was wide open and you could hear all the noise. Eventually, half an hour into our sitting the music was put on. That didn't make much different!!HORRENDOUS!!Never recommend!!!!

We have eaten here on a few occasions and each time the food and service are great. Staff are very efficient and pleasant. Food is always delicious, hot and presented beautifully. Surroundings, are very pleasant as are the hosts. We will keep returning for more delicious meals. Thank you.
