Andover House Restaurant in Great Yarmouth

Very helpful staff. My wife has mobility issues and they couldn't do more to help her.

Nice and clean house hotel. The service is good, breakfast great, location ok

Wonderful stay 4 of us on motorcycles stayed for a night they let us park the motorcycles up in front of the hotel to be safe ... Barbora was excellent lovely friendly host.. rooms were not huge but we're very clean with good showers...bar snd restaurant we're nice ...breakfast room snd breakfast was great ...

Right, eventhough we haven't actually stayed there, we went to have a look around. There was an absolutely amazing person in the office called Ms Babola, hope I have spelt it well, anyway, eventhough we hadn't booked she kindly showed us rooms etc and they were beautiful.

My partner and I came here for our anniversary. The location of this hotel was excellent! It was close to the seafront and there is road parking. We stayed in a room on the 1st floor and it was lovely, a good amount of space, beautiful spot by the window bay to relax, comfy bed, great lights and the shower was perfect! As someone with a disability, there was space to sit down if needed and easy to get in and out. We had breakfast each morning, which was delicious and had a range of things to order. The staff are so kind. Overall, this was a perfect place to stay for our anniversary. We will certainly stay again if we visit Great Yarmouth again.

Great hotel, staying there again this week...

An excellent stay as always, the staff are great at Andover house. Also hats off to the chef, great food too!

There were chicken steak and stacked beefburgers with triple cooked chips but also chowder, black bean meat balls and fish with gnocchi. There were choices for vegetarians and Vegans and they were open to accommodating any allergy problems too. They made their own ice cream and sorbets each day as well as offering a variety of other desserts. Service was attentive but not intrusive and meals were well presented.

Really nice hotel, very clean and well presented bedroom, bathroom a little on small side. Staff very friendly and excellent service. Nice choice for breakfast.

Would not hesitate to return, brilliant hotel and very good staff. The food is excellent quality. Only issue is on road parking, but we found spaces outside the hotel easy to get.

Found this place by chance, not expecting a Yarmouth Hotel to be hiding a lovely intimate restaurant.

Lovely food, very fresh and well cooked, Lots of choice on the menu, could not fault it. Good selection of wines and beers too.

Ate here whilst staying at the Andover Hotel. Great restaurant and excellent service. Would definitely recommend!

Brilliant stay, very friendly staff made you feel very welcome, couldn't fault anything. All 15 of us all felt the same, would definately stay here again.

My fiancee and I ate here last night and overall we were both impressed. Decor wise you can't fault it, really nicely done inside with a welcoming bar area as you walk in. In the restaurant we had the table by the window looking out onto the courtyard which was good. Staff were spot on, very friendly and attentive.

Stayed at Andover House and decided to dine in the restaurant.

Were guests at the hotel and had already planned to eat here so that we could relax and have a drink. The bar area is a nice relaxed place. The restaurant is quite small but tables are arranged well, not too cramped on space. The menu is limited on options, but we prefer a smaller menu as it usually means that items are cooked well as they have to stand up to many orders. We consider the prices to be at the highest of acceptable for this type of establishment. Everything was cooked and presented very well, meal for two with two starters, two mains, one desert and a bottle of wine was around £70.

Was excellent service food and drink would recommend it as a hotel guest or as a walk in. We will return and recommend to family and friends Thank You

We were staying at the Andover for a couple of nights expecting to go out to eat. Looked at the menu in the room the first night and decided to give it a go as it sounded interesting. Only six choices on the menu for each course but what choices. The food was amazing and couldn't be faulted so much so we decided to eat there the next night too. Once again the food was amazing. Perfectly cooked, beautifully presented and tasted wonderful, service staff were great too, never in your face but made sure you had everything you wanted. Will definitely eat here again if we return and will recommend to friends and family.

This is a destination for food for locals and is superb. Food was exemplary. Celeriac soup wow and the Shepherds pie a beautiful twist on a classic. Side veg perfect. Wife's pea starter and gnocchi were really different and so tasty. Wines I choose were all great. Very homely service from the two waitresses, the more experienced was excellent at ensuring the evening went without a hitch. Really a most perfect night with the food the highlight as it should be. Informal too so relaxed atmosphere for causal dining but equally dressing up a little smarter suits the place too. Quiet atmosphere as intimate restaurant. Great date night meal. No children allowed.

I was in Great Yarmouth for business and didn't think the food at the hotel didn't look up too much so we decided to venture up the road to The Copper Kitchen and we weren't disappointed!

the Copper Kitchen is the restaurant in the Andover House hotel at which we were staying. A little disappointed by the menu choice, however it probably allows the Chef to do what is on it to the High standard that arrived to our table so in retrospect the limited Menu is probably a good thing as the food was SUPERB.

Food was first class rooms very clean and tidy. Staff very efficient and friendly. Sky sports and the racing channels.

The restaurant was very relaxing atmosphere. Staff very friendly and helpful. The menu is varied with excellent food. You are not rushed. Highly recommended

Went here for dinner last night was amazing food and service the staff were very friendly just what we needed on a wet day n the cocktails were very good would highly recommend. The scotch egg starter was amazing.

My husband and I visited the restaurant as part of our stay at the hotel. Menu was good with a great variety and reasonable prices. The standard of food along with the presentation was excellent as was the service.

Staying in Yarmouth for a couple of nights on business, unfortunately couldn't get booked into this hotel but did make the walk down for dinner as we knew the food is good.

Lovely stay at the hotel, only made better by a delicious dinner. Cocktails on arrival were just the ticket. Sat at our table and our order was taken, food was quick to come out but when it arrived.. WOW! The food tasted wonderful lots of flavours but all complimented each other really well. Starters done on to mains we both had fish which was cooked well can accompanied nicely. Although more fine dining style portions were a good size and we were both too full for dessert. So we decided to finish our wine on the terrace.

During a recent trip with my wife and father in law, we enjoyed dinner at the Copper Kitchen. The menu choice was good - not to long and not to short - and there were several dishes that sounded right up my alley. We settled on the Lamb, Sea Trout and Steak. All dishes were excellent, and the service was great. I also indulged in one of the gluten free deserts and it was delicious!

Picture the scene, we are staying in Great Yarmouth at a holiday park having a great kids holiday. Yes, each meal is microwave fresh and comes with a ding. Two days in we are craving some really food and my wife did a search for 5 stars as we couldn't risk another dodgy meal.

A small menu of great quality dishes that have been well thought through. Staff and kitchen were very accommodating to any dietary requirements. Messaged the next day by attentive member of the team to check we enjoyed our visit. Highly recommend.

Superb sea bass and cheeses accompanied with great wine. Excellent service and a lovely ambience. Great value for the offering.

The restaurant is very relaxing and the food superb with choices to suit most people. I stayed at the hotel for a two night break with my husband and as a couple who are lucky enough to eat out and stay at various hotels, this was by far one of the best we have experienced. The staff were so friendly, professional and very polite. The restaurant and bar areas are spotlessly clean. We enjoyed having a conversation with the chef who obviously is very passionate about the food he cooks. The hotel rooms are very spacious and again spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished. We were made to feel so welcome by all staff and will certainly return in the not too distant future.

My wife treated me to a Valentines dinner because she loves me!!! The menu choice was small but had something for everybody, the chef has been here for sometime now and does seem to know what Andover/copper Kettle diners enjoy.

Service is efficient and set at a relaxing pace.The menu is small but varied,We ate at the Copper Kitchen for two days and enjoyed both evenings.Good bar area which serves cocktails and good wine list.The steak dish was cooked perfectly and the flavour of the...

Stayed with friends to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Superb rooms. Excellent food and staff were very friendly. It was a special anniversary and the hotel experience along with staff made it memorable. Thank you Victoria and your team.

We looked for a while for a restaurant and discovered the copper kitchen, we were pleasantly surprised at how nice the place was, this is due to it being so low down on trip advisor. Both the staff and food were amazing and I would...

We booked here for a family meal and the service before coming was great and we had high expectations. The venue is great and the service was good but lacked the little bit of extra attention to get a 4 stars! They may have.had a...

The menu has a degree of sophistication not often found in Great Yarmouth. Food excellent as was the service. There...

Muy bien presentado, la comida elegante y de buen gusto. Cod mejilla entrante - en una masa de luz, y no abundante, agradable presentación Lubina y risotto de guisante Lubina maravillosamente preparada, piel crujiente, pero la carne húmeda (agradable y muchos lugares más de pescado...

Cócteles geniales. Ambos tuvimos el mac de langosta y queso para cenar y fue precioso. Nuestra primera vez comiendo langosta demasiado, así que no sabíamos qué esperar! Nuestro cheesecake y brownie también eran deliciosos. Sin duda lo recomiendo!

Vinimos a recientemente llamado "El cobre" el pasado fin de cocina y no se puede quejar de nada. La comida era de 5 estrellas y la ventaja de no ser razonable 5*. Una comida asequible con una calidad excepcional. Volveremos.

Comí en el restaurante 3 noches por semana durante cinco meses durante un viaje de negocios o de adscripción. La comida era deliciosa, fresca y creativa, siguiendo el tema de algunos platos clásicos. El menú es sencillo y fue actualizada cada mes. Comí muy bien durante mi estancia de cinco meses y yo nunca comí en ningún otro sitio. El restaurante es de buena calidad y claramente tiene una buena reputación en la región que me hice consciente de haber pasado muchas horas de viajar al otro lado de Norfolk en varios taxis.

Me alojé en el hotel por negocios. No tienen unas expectativas muy altas de comer en el hotel, así que me sorprendió gratamente. Mi tempura de arranque era precioso. He seguido este este el pescado, que también fue excelente. Las dos camareras muy, muy amable y eficiente. Bien hecho.

I came from Denmark to visit my family. On this Friday evening decided to try Andover Restaurant and spent some time there. Didn't expect too much but honestly I was truly amazed by the taste of the food. Loved the steak which was perfectly cooked together with some chips and salad. I had 2 cocktails at the bar which were also amazing. Service was so fast and professional, without any waiting times. Met Vilma who left an amazing impression with her friendliness and professionalism. Decor very relaxing and simple - loved it!

Dined in as we were staying at the hotel. The menu is quite short, but something for everyone. My wife loved her stone bass, and my ribeye steak was succulent. Excellent service too, so why eat out if you stay here.

My husband and I enjoyed dinner here on a Saturday night. Nothing was too much trouble and the waitress took her time to explain the dishes and how they would be cooked. Not sure what the chef did to my cabbage but I actually enjoyed it - that's never happened before. Nice atmosphere, great food, good wine, gorgeous company and friendly staff. Nothing more needed.

Having just spent the weekend in the Andover Hotel, my friends and I took the opportunity to try the restaurant on our first evening. Can't praise the food enough, I had the Pork belly to start and the rib eye with peppercorn sauce served with the most divine hand cut chips for my main course. So impressed were we with the food here our group of 13 ate here all 3 evenings of our trip. Can also recommend the homemade burger, meat pie, salmon and chicken. The breakfast was also excellent. Cold meats jams, cereals, fruit pastries etc. Followed by a lovely cooked breakfast, full English, vegetarian option, eggs Benedict, smoked salmon and scrambled eggs etc. Would also like to compliment the chef Dave and all the staff for whom nothing is too much trouble. Hope to see you again next year.

We stayed at the adjoining hotel for 2 nights and decided to dine here on our second night! It was a truly stunning meal. I started with salmon and sourdough bread, my boyfriend had the garlic gratin mushrooms. Then for mains we both had the chargrilled steaks with chunky chips, peppercorn sauce and peppered salad. Wow! Just wow! The salmon was gorgeous and just the perfect amount (would have liked a small amount of butter for the bread though?). My boyfriend loved the mushrooms and the gratin was a lovely addition to the dish. The steaks. They were beautiful, fell apart and melted! Wonderful food, great service by the waitress she couldnt have done more for us. Thank you for a lovely meal! The menu changes weekly which is fab. Breakfast was so gorgeous. Continental arrangement as you entered the breakfast room, pain au chocolats and croissants, jams and yoghurt. Cheese, ham and cereals along with fruit juices in carafes. They also had hot breakfasts cooked to order such as eggs benedict, full english or eggs/bacon etc on toast. We both had a mixture on both days and it was all so tasty and fresh - the pastries were warm when we had them! Just lovely - well done.

We visited here with 2 other couples I cannot fault the superb food and exceptional service We all had the 3 course meal and each course was perfectly put together with the most delicious flavours We will definitely re-visit

Had a meal tonight to celebrate my Wife's Birthday. The food was very poor compared to what we had on our visit last year. Menu selection was very disappointing. The only good thing to comment on was the excellent service by the waitress.

A great variety of seasonal dishes, as well as the old favourites, there's something for everyone. The desserts are a treat worth putting a few pounds on the bill (and the waist) !

Went for the Valentine's 6 course taster menu and all courses were beautifully presented and tasted great too! Very friendly and efficient service in a relaxing yet intimate atmosphere. Definitely one of the best places in Great Yarmouth.

Friday night with friends and had a lovely time. Food and service excellent, bit pricy but you get what you pay for. No complaints, says it all!

Having never been down this neck of the world we chose the Andover from its reviews and pricing. We found the hotel to be a great little place. The staff are so attentive and friendly. The evening meals and breakfast were fresh and tasty and cooked using good quality ingredients. The hotel itself is clean and modern and only 200metres from the sea front. I'm sure to recommend this place to friends and family if they were ever to visit down here and will definite book back in if I were to visit again too. Great place Cheers

We love this restaurant.The welcome you get is warm and friendly and the staff are lovely.The food is amazing,served to perfection and delicious.We have been quite a few times and have never been dissappointed.

Absolutely Superb!! We visited the Restaurant on a recommendation and with the added convenience of it being in our local area it was just the place for us! Upon arrival, we were treated brilliantly! The waitresses Vilma and Carolina catered to our every need and were very attentive throughout our evening! They were very polite and helpful, we loved it so much we stayed for four hours combined in the restaurant and bar! Not forgetting the food, it was of course the highlight of our experience! Every thing was cooked to perfection! Credit to the chefs, we couldn't praise them enough! We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting a relaxed and calm dining experience! The hotel also looked beautiful on first impressions too! A big thanks to all the staff at Andover House for a wonderful time.

A lovely and relaxed atmosphere. While the menu is not extensive, what is on offer is top class.Very good service, you won't be disappointed

This restaurant is a real gem, great food and a refreshing change to have genuinely happy staff serving you, I had the stone bass fillet, really well presented and delicious.The menu choice offered something for everyone. I was in a group of 12 and service was spot on, I checked out the other dishes served among my friends, all equally as well presented and everyone in our group enjoyed their food. I will definitely be returning as there are several dishes on the menu I want to try out. The restaurant and hotel are a very high standard, clean, well decorated and provide a nice relaxing atmosphere in which to unwind. This gem in Yarmouth is great to know about, I will be heading back for sure.

We ended up here on a Saturday evening without a booking and were able to wait at the bar until a table was made available. The staff were very friendly and engaging, were very quick to help or to see to any query we had. The food was nice. They were happy to turn a starter in to a main course for us which was great. The accompanying drinks were enjoyable and the other diners were very nice too. We ended up enjoying an after dinner drink with some in the lounge area. Worth a visit. If I am in the area I would definitely visit, maybe even stay the night.

The menu was not extensive, but all tastes were catered for and it was still difficult to choose because everything sounded so good. My meal lived to my hopes and expectations, beautifully presented and tasty.The waiting staff were really friendly and looked after us well. I would definitely return.

We thought twice about booking a table at the Andover House Restaurant, we were staying at the Hotel and had looked at the various other options very well reviewed on TripAdvisor. Our decision was eventually based on convenience, having travelled long distances the draw of eating in-house was too tempting for the six of us.I have to say that everything about our evening was faultless, the limited number of covers and careful time management by the owners ensured that our food was delivered promptly and staff were very attentive.The food was of a very high standard and showed imagination and experience. I had the crab starter which linked an unusual combination of ingredients into a beautifully presented dish. The Ham Hock scotch egg looked absolutely fabulous and the only concern seemed to be the size of the portion!Main was the sliced beef 'pitta' which was basically a posh kebab but very tasty, chips were perfect (seemed like they may have been baked rather than deep fried?). My only criticism was the size of the portion which beat me - not a bad negative really!The puds all looked great (too much for me) and were beautifully presented. Wines were well selected and offered something for all tastes, I would have liked to see more wines available by the glass (my usual gripe) but this does mean that if turnover is not reasonable the wine can be left uncorked for some time.The service was excellent and we all agreed that the overall evening offered exceptional service, particularly when compared with other local restaurants (highly rated on TripAdvisor).

The uncluttered menu offered the right balance of enticing new ideas and old favourites. Wonderfully attentive staff made this superb meal even more enjoyable. We will certainly be visiting again.

Menu and food quality puts most high class restaurants to shame. Local produce used, wide range of supporting wine to complement your dining experience.

My Husband and I dined at this restaurant a week ago.We were impressed by this Hotel, so we decided to try out the Restaurant too.The waiting staff (Ladies) were lovely and professional.We had a 3 course meal, and every one of dishes ordered were delightfully well presented, so just looking at the food made your mouth water and your taste buds very eager to taste this piece of edible Art on a plate!We had a palatable meal which could match Michelin style cuisine and we loved it!The nice thing about this restaurant, was the fact that we did not have to wait at all for each course.The Chef and his kitchen staff also did a great job!Andover House Restaurant delivered great food and lived up to expectations. We would love to eat there again!

We went to the hotel restaurant as we didn't know the area and arrived late and I can honestly say that this was the best desion firstly my wife is the most awkward person and didn't like anything on the menu so they made her something that was not on the menu and nothing seemed to much for these guys they bent over backwards and where absolutely amazing. Also the quality of the food was amazing I have Eaten in Michelin star restaurants and I can say that the food quality here was heads and tails ahead of these the only word I can use is WOW

Had a fish dish for starter and main both really first class in quality and adequate for most in quantity.Unfortunately, could not manage a pudding; they looked great.

Not my first time but every one is a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The menu changes regularly and everything I try seems tailored for me. But good food is universal and this is an restaurant that always performs. I am booking in for a Christmas party. Best be quick as word travels fast when there is something special to be had. Well done Andover House staff!

Excellent food, good choice and variety, catering for different tastes. The chef is very accommodating to cater to individual tastes. Locally sourced produce used. Highly recommended.

Nice setting, friendly staff, good menu and fantastic food at reasonable prices. Thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience :)

Stayed here and ate on a number of occasions. Excellent because;Simple but unusual fusion menu with plenty of variety. Presentation, portion size and execution are consistently second to none. Service is slick and professional. Would return as non- resident just to eat here. Thank you Andover House.

We had an evening meal here this weekend and had a great time. The staff are fabulous and the food is extremely good. We were staying in their hotel but I would certainly think about dining here even if I wasn't a hotel guest. We both had 3 courses which came to a very reasonable price. Have already recommended to a couple of colleagues so hope they love it as much as we did.

Dined many times at the Andover and it's always been first class dinning.Scotch egg starter is some thing else and very popular with regular visitors.The menu get changed up regular with each season so it keeps it fresh and keeps you guessing for your next visit which is nice.A really nice place to eat rather than all the other run of the meal places in Yarmouth

Really good food - not fine dining but imaginative and very well presented by lovely staff. Had roasted hake which was lovely.

So pleased to say that Andover House restaurant is my new top place to visit!. Such a pleasure to be treated well and enjoy food served by some passionate, accomplished individuals. I feel like a regular when I go there and am quickly becoming one. A gastronomical delight and tasteful experience. Highly recommended.

Booked at the hotel for a weekend as we were going to a wedding on the Saturday. Arrived Friday so ate in the restaurant. The young lady in the bar was new and did not know the answers to questions we had about the menu, but consulted a colleague and checked with the chef to answer. Very helpful. We went for the fish based dishes, a good choice. The crab starter was fresh tasting and delicious and our fish mains were also excellent. Accompanied by a very nice Sauvignon at a reasonable price, we finished with ice cream for my wife and a local cheese board for me. Also both very good. With a pre dinner drink and wine with the meal, about £100 for two, but a very attentive service and beautiful food good value.

A lovely venue on a great street in Great Yarmouth. Reasonable prices for such quality. The thing I didn't like was the service felt a little rushed, as soon as we finished our starters, the mains were being served (and the same for desert), we would have liked a little time in between.But overall, we would go back without hesitation.

My wife and I stayed over in Great Yarmouth for my birthday. We weren't staying in the Andover House so I can't comment on the accommodation. However, we had a lovely dinner in their restaurant.We enjoyed cocktails whilst looking at the dinner menu in the bar area. A nice and relaxing start to the evening.Both staff who attended to us were excellent but I'm ashamed to say I don't have their names so can't give them a name-check. Much as I'd like to. But I am sure management know who was working the bar/restaurant on Saturday May 7th! :-)The restaurant is quite small but very comfortable and we didn't feel too close to fellow diners. Although there weren't too many other diners there that evening. As for the food, it was all delicious and beautifully prepared and presented. Sample menus are available on their website so I won't describe what we had suffice to say we thoroughly enjoyed each course.I can, however, recommend the sharing dessert platter. That was a perfect finish to the meal. There was also a lit candle in the brownie and the whole restaurant sang "Happy Birthday" which was a lovely surprise. Thank you.We finished off with coffee back in the bar area before walking back to our hotel having enjoyed a lovely evening. I'd certainly recommend eating here especially if you enjoy fresh, well cooked and well presented food.

Very nice hotel, friendly and charming staff, shower a bit of a squeeze and we stayed for dinner and it was absolutely fantastic surprise. Superb food, especially the roast cod, follow by an inspired deconstructed cheesecake, Will definitely return. Only gripe, at £97 per night, they could have thrown in a cooked breakfast. Still wont put me off going again though.

Our first visit on reading excellent reviews. The restaurant was quiet and seemed cold and lacked atmosphere. The meal was fine but that special touch was missing. Overall an expensive meal that did not live up to expectations!

Fantastic food at sensible prices. Great staff, friendly and efficient. Would certainly recommend dining here.

Tried the restaurant this evening with my son.The quality of the three course meal we had was superb but like the drinks expensive. The food although excellent would not be enough for a person with a healthy appetite.Both staff serving us were friendly and welcoming and the ambience pleasant, clean and warm. Would I visit again? ,possibly but probably not as I do have a healthy appetite and if I were hungry there are many better value venues in the area. However without any doubt few could compare with the well presented and delicious food we had.

Great all round! I was really happy with the food and selection of drinks at the lovely bar. The staff were incredibly friendly. I had monkfish and my husband had cod...we love our fish! Compared to a couple of fish restaurants we have been to, their fish was superb. See you soon Andover!

Four of us visited on Saturday night had to wait to be seated. Starters ordered 2 soup & 2 Prawns the soup came with no roll or bread and the King prawn cocktail was small portion not good value as it was nearly £7.00. Main meals came Cod and 3 Ribeye the cod had to go back because it was cold and had to be heated or redone not sure which. The ribeye was ok but tasteless the saving grace was we ordered peppercorn sauce and Blue cheese sauce which improved it. If you wanted mushrooms you had to pay extra if you wanted salad you had to pay extra.After the main we requested tooth picks they never came also early evening my wife reported no toilet paper in the ladies toilet when we left around 23:00 still no toilet paper. Not a good experience especially with Pamela's just round the corner very pricey food ok and more expensive night than our last visit to Pamela'sI don't think we will be back.

The chef was able to provide a vegan menu which had one choice per course. Although more choice would have been a bonus (not being a fan of beetroot) the food that I did eat was delicious and well presented. My husband also enjoyed his meal, and service was very good.

Visited whilst in Yarmouth for the Soul weekender. Simple menu,with a special. Food was good quality, and well presented and the staff welcoming. If you are in Yarmouth and want a little something special,check it out. Would recommend booking especially in peak season,as there is a hotel attached.

Friday night visit for dinner & first visit. Restaurant small with about 20-25 covers. Hit by a wall of noise as a party of eight women were in who thankfully were near to finishing. The service and greeting was welcoming from two excellent waitresses Soraya & Cynthia. I started with Ham hock scotch egg and the wife the Prawn cocktail. This was followed by Sea trout with samphire & new potatoes (15 of them?) & Lamb with cous cous moroccan style.To finish we shared a dessert Banana ice cream, salted pecans & chocolate jelly. This was washed down with a bottle of wine and two additional glasses to finish. Total £85 All food excellent and would visit again didn't stay because hotel is not accessible for people with disabilities.

Andover House is amazing, excellent service, lovely surroundings and first class food! I have visited 3 times now and have always been very impressed. I would definitely recommend a visit, perfect for a special occasion as you are made to feel very special. 10/10!

What a great restaurant went here for a meal with my wife and what can I say apart from fantastic. We both enjoyed the food I had a question about one of my course's and the chef (to my surprise) came up and explained it to me to which I really appreciated. The staff are great food great would eat there again . Highly recommend it.

A fantastic meal enjoyed by a group of us at Christmas in this fantastic hotel restaurant.Stayed here several times and the food is one of the best around.The menu is up to date and locally sourced with great dishes to choose from and really attentive staff and a very talented chef makes this a must when in Norfolk.

Very welcoming , drinks in the loung bar, shown to table in the restaurant, normal menu plus a specials board, we shared the asparagus soldiers with hens egg, both had a different lamb dish and shared a dessert, service was great, white gloves worn by waiting staff when presenting food, whole visit was worth the money.

Our first visit to Andover House, will definitely not be our last. The food was exceptional, a real joy to find a local restaurant that serves innovative fresh cuisine. I will definitely be recommending your establishment to family and friends. look forward to our return visit.

We visited on a Wednesday evening and had a pleasant evening, the food was of a very high quality but I felt the finesse of the waiting staff was not quite there. They didn't have the professional standard that went with the quality of the food or ambience of the venue. Small things like no interaction with us, carrying drinks from bar to restaurant, not being asked if we wanted coffee at the end of the meal but very keen to ask us at every course of we wanted the wine menu. All in all a good experience but those finishing touches would complete the visit.

A modern sophisticated restaurant. The staff were professional yet friendly. The food looked and tasted amazing. The brisket of beef could have been eaten without a knife - so tender. The puddings full of interesting combinations. Two people, two courses, two glasses of wine £56. Excellent for the money!!

We have been coming here over the last five or so years, since it was recommended to us. It is definitely the best restaurant to eat at in Great Yarmouth and even in the Waveney area too. The food is five star. Delicious, a nice selection and well presented. The service is fantastic, friendly and professional. The surroundings are tasteful and airy. There is a courtyard to eat in if the weather is good. All in all, we had another perfect meal here. As an aside, the restaurant is for 13years and above.

Excellent service, menu and location in an amusement-centric beach environment. Options for eating in or out.

Food was delicious, My daughter and I had the burger, not sure if it was beef though as it didn't state but I didn't ask because it was lovely. Husband had chicken something or other and he really enjoyed that too. Desserts gorgeous, too much cheesecake on the plate for me but husband ate that. Place very nice and clean, although I had a dirty fork but I just changed it. Staff need a little more training but overall experience was good. Wouldn't go back purely because it didn't have the WOW factor.

I chose the excellent tempura fish starter and followed up with a good fillet steak, all cooked well and served in perfect time. Excellent wine added to the experience. Judging by the number of walk-ins on the night the restaurant appears to have a great reputation and rightly so.

I describe myself as someone who sets a high bar but by the same token am keen to be positive and not nit pick.This place essentially is self absorbed, promises a lot and delivers little.Firstly when entering the hotel you are taken by what is clearly a very polished upmarket Bar, Restaurant and Lounge.All of which give a positive impression on your forthcoming experience/stay.We also stayed overnight here which I will deal with when reviewing the hotel proportion of this establishment on TA.We decided to have a drink prior to dinner - as I said I love the appearance of the bar, very cosmopolitan. I asked the lady who actually was the same person who checked us in if I could have a Bellini (pretty basic, sparkling wine and peach or raspberry juice) she had no knowledge of what this was which I can forgive but said this was not possible as you "only sell Prosecco by the bottle". Again I would accept such a process in a bog standard bar but a luxury establishment with a bar frankly as swish as this needs to decide what it wants to be. You cannot set yourself up as you have and then worry that you might have to open a bottle of sparkling wine for a Bellini and fear "I wonder if anyone else will order from it?" That is just small time mentality.I then asked if she could make any non alcoholic cocktails for our two teens whose birthdays I eluded to you when booking and earlier in the email.She said that would simply be fruit juice. For me it wasn't so much that there was not a plethora of knowledge of non alcoholic cocktails more that there was no desire here to please or accommodate.Regardless we had something more simple then moved to the lounge - as I said a lovely room.We then moved through for dinner.Onto the food - I think the choice of first courses is very interesting, exciting and relatively innovative.Presentation on most dishes was pretty good.First courses - 3 Pork Belly dishes and 1 pressed duck.Pork belly great presentation but as dry as the Sahara.It is almost like the pork was slow cooked but then deepfried to reheat or something - each side of the outer surface of the pork was dried to the point of being chewy.Also no seasoning at all - salt???Its funny because when I actually looked at the pictures of the pork belly dish on the website it did look dried but I put it down to the photo.My duck dish was skillfully put together with some great flavour combinations.I wasn't sure I would be keen on the raw beetroot but actually it balanced the dish really well with the orange puree and salted caramel - loved that.Again the duck was surprisingly dry - no idea why but it was. Again under seasoned.Main Courses 2 x Lamb Duo, 2 x Hake.Presentation of the Lamb very good barring the giant pieces of purple carrot that border on intimidating.I enjoyed the pickled carrot with this dish as it really offset nicely against the lamb.The breast was nicely cooked but under seasoned, the neck again was dry and under seasoned. The fondant potato was more like a big roast potato.The hake was lovely, cooked nicely, moist, great presentation with a really tasty Chorizo risotto. Desserts - All the lemons x 3 and white chocolate mousse x 1.All the lemons wasn't great - pastry on the tart was bizarrely chewy, the sponge on the "Thyme Sponge " was actually mistaken for shortbread by my partner as it was so hard and dry!Loved the white choc mousse soooo good and a nice choc sorbet.The raspberry jelly thing was totally tasteless.Cheese course was fine - frozen grapes are just weird and offer nothing.Wines were all nice, Chablis, Rioja, Port all good. Dessert wine is probably the worst I have ever had.Tasted like it had been mixed with water - bad.The service was ok - attentive and swift but again if you are looking to present yourself as a fine dining restaurant with aa rosettes (or michelin stars) you really need to get the staff to understand what they are serving.What comprises a duo of lamb should be explained to the diner (" here we have slow braised neck with blah blah blah") otherwise you dont know what is what and the chefs hard work is somewhat unrecognised.I think some of the menu is a little muddled - Haddock, Burger, Thai Green Curry, Rib eye all sit nicely under gastro pub but dont really mix with the majority of exciting first courses or duo of lamb, hake etc which are in my view are more fine dining...Last but not least - when booking I mentioned to the owner on several occasion's that it was for a double birthday and anything you could do to make it special would be greatly appreciated.I also spoke directly to the chef to affirm this to him also - he asked me for specifics in terms of what I had in mind and I said I would leave it to him to come up with something.Not one member of staff mentioned the fact we had a birthday in our party, nothing came out of a culinary nature, the sole gesture was some happy birthday confetti randomly sprinkled on our table.All I derived from this frankly was no one could be bothered - very poor.I have had more effort from the local Vietnamese restaurant on St Peters Road.I also saw neither of the owners or the front of house manager during our visit.It felt rudderless being run by a group of young girls - pleasant enough but no lead.Overally a place not without positives but with far too many negatives.They will tell you they have many people come from Norwich, I struggle to believe this based on my experience of AH and of what is on offer in Norwich.I suspect the owner will reply to this in the usual "party line" style fashion.They talk a good game but ultimately performance is pretty poor.Too much time spent telling you how good they are and being self congratulatory without delivering.

Booked here on a Saturday night. Atmosphere and service were excellent. Food was delightful. Had not been here for a while but food was just as good as ever, if not better than the last time. Would highly recommend if visiting Yarmouth as it is one of only a few decent restaurants in the town now.
