Barley + Graze Restaurant King's Lynn in King's Lynn and West Norfolk

Meals were good. Ate here the 2 nights we stayed had plenty of choice. Really enjoyed the chicken tikka Masala wine was lovely.

Burger horrible, would of been better going to McDonald’s

Bit of a mysterious start to this visit. Was staying locally so booked the Dragonfly as reasonably cheap compared to other local venues. Decided to eat at the in house restaurant, but when I asked if I needed to book a table they said that they were very busy between 7.00pm and 8.00pm. A cheeky peep into the restaurant and there were only about 6 people in there! Came down for some pre dinner drinks at 8.15pm to be told that we needed to be in the restaurant by 8.45pm - ok, but not a lot of use if you arrive late and want to dine later. Went into the restaurant by the stipulated time - had to get some menu's from another table and had to call the waitress over to take our order. To our surprise the food arrived very quickly and was of decent quality. I had a burger and my partner had chicken curry, both of which were very nice. Overall not a bad meal but they just need to tighten up the booking/waiting procedures to move the ratings up as there didn`t seem to be any problems with the quality of the food. I got the distinct impression that they were understaffed with reception having to cover the bar and help with the waitressing.

Two forkfuls only of slimy fish in the battered fish and chip meal. The unappealing macaroni cheese tasted worse than the one I had recently from Iceland for a pound and the same small size. dry and bland garlic bread. Awful vinegar dressing on the bagged salad. Difficult to believe that this is a restaurant. No draught beer available despite three pump handles on the bar. We asked for a sandwich and got a 'wrap'. Exasperating! Chips were OK and the tap water refreshing served with ice and lemon. Also credit to the manager who didn't charge us for the fish and chips and salad. We felt sorry for the staff for having to serve such poor food and deal with the consequences.
