Carpenters Arms East Winch in King's Lynn and West Norfolk - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Food was average, the service and staff are good but the flies were a big problem for us. As a result we won't go back.

Food average to ok however the sauce on the linguine had split and went mostly uneaten. When pointed out the staff acknowledged the issue but only offered to refund 2.45. Additionally the place is infested with house flies which makes dining a stressful experience. Suffice to say I shall not be returning.

Lamb chops for diner. Great mint gravy, veg and mash. Very tasty and plenty of food.

Staff where absolutely incredible! Extremely friendly and chatty. However food was poor! It is not worth the money you pay for it.

Had steak pie with veg an mash . Fantastic would give 5 stars but no Yorkie pud 😱😱😱. Food 100% excellent but missing a yorkie pud and from Yorkshire . Defo recommend

Very lovely place. Food was fantastic. Service was very good. Staff very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back.

Large varied menu & specials board , Large sized portions, food well cooked & nicely presented. Friendly bar & waiting staff.

Very welcoming, great time watching England football thank you

The food was excellent staff very helpful will be going back

We popped in here for something to eat on our drive past. Dog friendly in the bar area. Had a roast beef dinner, which on a Friday was a bonus! Was very busy and food was fab. Could have done with a bit bigger portion but did the job all the same. Would recommend. Will be back.

Nice staff, yummy food, and good value for money.

Little pricey but great atmosphere. Good choice of food and out dogs were made very welcome. Probably advisable to book especially if you want to take dogs

Great pub great service great food 1 sadness no steak

Stopped without booking just for some lunch. We were the only couple in the garden, so very quiet. OH went to get drinks, Guinness & cappuccino Beef Hogey & bacon Brie & cranberry ciabatta. Both lunches were lovely. There was loads of really tasty bacon in mine a nice small amount of salad. OH said his was good plus a portion of nice crispy chips. Friendly service, good coffee and lunch, so would recommend

Visited twice while I was staying at the pentney holiday lodges we went Sunday afternoon got a beef dinner and Friday got fish and chips nice and hot fresh food and a nice cold lager nice people who work in the restaurant and good service if I am in the area I will go again

Lovely food lovely atmosphere and good service. Would recommend.

Lovely traditional local pub, also do awesome food, especially the roast dinners. Staff are very friendly and helpful. No tabs allowed at the bar for people sitting outside unless your known to the Staff

Very nice tasty food, all cooked fresh.

Great food, very timely considering a very busy Sunday lunch service. Interior lovely and staff fantastic.

Just called on the off, chance no problem getting us a table . Staff was very friendly and helpful, and there was nothing too much trouble. The food was very good and plenty of it as well. Service was good, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming and very friendly

Absolutely amazing food, great service, lovely atmosphere, plenty of parking, would highly recommend

We were shown to our table quickly by a cheerful chatty waitress. Our food orders were taken quite quickly and the food was very enjoyable. Will certainly be visiting again.

First time I've been to the Carpenters Arms and the only disappointment is that I'd not discovered it earlier. What a lovely pub, very friendly and efficient, polite staff. Very well kept craft beers and as the the food, well "wow" absolutely superb. See you again very soon 👍😀.

The venue was very nice and the food was excellent.

Arrived without a reservation on a busy night and were seated straight away. There was a great choice of food on the menu along with a specials board. The food was amazing, really lovely home cooked food at a very reasonable price. This was without a doubt the best food during our stay. The staff were all really friendly and gave a great service. We didn't know before arriving but there was a quiz night (Thursday) which we took part in and were made to feel welcome by both the staff and the locals. I wish we had more time to go back again before going home. I would definitely recommend it to anyone in the area as a great place to dine or stop for a drink.

Sadly it took 23 minutes from sitting down for our drinks to be ordered. Then a further 20 mins for the two started to arrive. Children were running amok , but this is down to bad parenting. The food on the other hand was very good and after the starters arrived service was great .

Very good food, excellent service decor a bit dated otherwise would be 5/5

Great place , great food , great price , fantastic staff , great atmosphere. Food was great and the portions was very good . Roast is to die food with big Yorkshire puddings . Loads of veg . Ham egg and chips wow hand carved ham and thick cut yummy .

10/10. Had the roast turkey with lots of veg, very well priced. Excellent portions and the turkey was succulent. Quick friendly service, a warm atmosphere, and one of my favourite beers - Adnam's Ghost Ship 👍 we'll be back.

Lovely food , catered for are diet's very well , highly recommend this lovely pub , reasonably priced, and for us close to home , will be returning soon , keep British pubs alive, 10 out 10 . Regards clive.

Booked for a party of 27 so needed a large space in the restaurant. I have to say that they were brilliant and really looked after us so well! They went out their way to accommodate us. Really good service and great roast dinner, excellent all round! Would definitely recommend this place.

Proper old fashioned pub in the nicest way serving good quality food at reasonable prices. Sharing platter for four as starters,4 good main meals,one cheese and biscuits,bottle of red wine,pint of Guinness and 2 large Pinots for under £120 for all ...well worth a visit

Very nice place to eat.. Sunday dinner is 13.50 for a large and not sure for a small.. Very friendly staff.. Worth a visit.. we do frequent this place a fair bit.. as worth the 15 mile drive..

Always friendly staff, and very good value Sunday roast.

The Sunday roast was average. Veg was good, pork was very fatty, roast potatoes were black in places (over cooked) and so was the Yorkshire pudding. The gravy had the consistency of glue. I stopped there as we were running late and it was the closest please to eat. Overall the food was ok but I wouldn't go back. It was cheap £13.50 if you're on a budget.

Up in Norfolk on a weekend break, we came across this pub on way back to our holiday park from King's Lynn. Food was absolutely gorgeous, My daughter and I had one of the best lasagnes we've tasted and lovely fresh chips. My husband had marinated chicken with a superb garlic sauce and my son ate all of his crispy chicken. Shared Nacho platter also all disappeared! Will call in again if we stay this way. Staff were also very friendly and good with the kids

Very friendly staff, meal was lovely, will definitely go again

Called on way home from coast for lunch. Had roast lamb and it was delicious. Staff very friendly too. Highly recommend 👌

Delicious Sunday Roast and veg. Thoroughly recommend the quality and portion size. Apple Crumble a bit too hot to eat straight away, could easily burn your mouth and not proper crumble on top which was disappointing. Service very good and friendly. Dog friendly in the bar but not restaurant part. Lively atmosphere.

Our first visit to The Carpenters Arms and it certainly didn’t disappoint. We both had the Sunday roast and it was simply the best Sunday roast we’ve ever had in a pub. Proper homemade food with an absolutely delicious home made taste. The food was spectacular however, I have to mention the best gravy I have ever tasted. Thank you Carpenters Arms-we’ll be back soon!

Very pleasant and friendly pub. Dog friendly too. Had a lovely late Sunday lunch.

We have passed many times. Yesterday we stopped. A great meal cooked fresh, good beer and Low Alcohol Ghost Ship too. Marinated chicken with Stilton sauce, vegetables and potatoes. I can see why it is so popular.

Disappointing. I had the roast beef which was pre packed rubbish, my wife had the beef pie with chips. Pie was ok but had to send back because the chip had clearly been re-fried. Service was very slow with very little care and poor attention to detail shame coz I had read the reviews so feel a very let down.

Never been here before ..travelled from derbyshire to have sunday lunch with norfolk family ...everything first class .good quality fresh food & generous portions served piping hot ..all the staff were very helpful & freindly & the atmosphere was good ...ample free parking ...sunday roast is very popular so make sure you book your table

The Sunday lunch was too die for. 5 veg, great roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding was huge and the pork was the best I have ever had. Well done to all involved. I will definitely go there again.

Great choice of food- home made, great service. Worth a visit.

Beautiful food. Lovely staff 👌

Good food n drink,didnt have to book easy access dog friendly

Excellent food and friendly staff.

We had a Sunday dinner and were not disappointed. It was a good, tasty meal, well priced, and was served quite quickly, too. Loved that serve food up to 9pm on a Sunday (when everywhere stops serving food so early).

Excellent in every way possible. Thoroughly recommended.

Large portions of well cooked delicious food. Not fancy but very wholesome and tasty

Lovely pub which serves great food - good prices in a convenient location. Lots of indoor seating, friendly staff and a nice atmosphere.

Delightful freehouse, with refreshingly friendly service. Excellent food quality and portion sizes. Well kept ale and lager lines providing crisp clean tasting drinks. Treat yourself and call in.

Great traditional English dishes. Friendly staff.

Called here recently while travelling between Great Yarmouth and Peterborough. I found it to be a thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding experience. Staff were exceedingly pleasant and efficient, with both drinks and food being provided with little or no delay. My food on this occasion was well presented and was well cooked and very tasty - my mushroom and stilton tart starter and hunters chicken main course were both delicious, freshly cooked and the chicken was moist and succulent with a dressing of sauce and cheese which was sufficient. Both dishes were served with a very nice side salad which was well represented by suitable amounts of various fresh ingredients. Cannot express enough how much I enjoyed this experience. Paul C

Dog friendly. Lovely seating in the garden. Very peaceful. Food lovely. Staff friendly and very helpful

Lovely meal sat out in well equipped beer garden

Really nice food, good sized portions, friendly staff

Great place to dine .. Lovely atmosphere..

First time there, me and my partner will definitely be visiting again! Food was very good and service was exceptionally quick. Only downside is that you don't do omelettes, unless you do but have to ask.

Food was excellent and super tasty. Happy with the service. Would definitely go back if I'm ever in the area. See photos for food description. I recommend the chef's homemade pie.

Excellent choice Recommend to any one

Amazing food, with an incredible selection on the menu and the specials board. The service from all the staff is top notch and the atmosphere is cosy and welcoming for a pub with so many tables. The perfect place to stop off and spend a few hours.

We visited this week while staying at Pentney Lakes. All 7 of us enjoyed our food. The waitress was very helpful with regards to food allergies and was able to answer our questions. My daughter very much enjoyed her gluten free fish in beer batter with chips. We would definitely visit again.

Really lovely roast and friendly staff. Highly recommended 👌

Hadn’t booked and they were busy but still found us a table, staff were lovely and the food excellent thank you so much, will definitely remember to book in future so nice to find some where so good.

Not the friendly experience we were expecting after reading their webpage. I did give two stars to the young lady who endeavoured to find us a table inside after we were covered in thunderflies outside. Unfortunately, i was treated by the bar lady with hardly concealed contempt, and a condescending attitude towards my drinks and food order. I am a mother of 3, which is hard enough at the best of times, all i want is a smile and a beer at the bar! We visited on Saturday 24th June, and will not be returning.

Great menu choices and specials, lovely food and friendly and efficient staff in a lovely atmosphere. Good quality drinks and good prices too.

Good menu but they can be a little slow on a weekend, don’t get mad just because they are busy the staff are working hard so just enjoy your time there. The fish is huge and fresh so a good choice if you don’t fancy a roast dinner.

We were served at the bar by the delightful Elinor & a lovely young waitress brought our meals. We both had the lasagne which was very tasty thank you 🙏

Excellent. Great service good food and very pleasant surroundings.

Lovely Father's Day lunch. Staff brilliant and coped really well with how busy it was. Love that you can ask for more gravy etc if you want it.

Our 2nd Sunday lunch in a row and again fantastic

Just popped in for lunch as passing through. Great food quick and friendly service. Definitely go again, maybe evening time.

Excellent food and service.Definitely recommend

Fantastic food . Got to ask were are your sausages from,best I have tasted.

Very tasty food and excellent service

We have been here several times and have always found the food to be good. Today was a triple birthday celebration and we booked a table for 15:00 and we practically had the place to ourselves. All of the food came out together and was hot. The staff are friendly and polite, well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Best Sunday lunch ever, good meat and a fantastic selection of vegetables including cheesey leeks. Disabled friendly, will visit again soon.

Booked a table for early dinner at 4 good service and enjoyable food reasonably priced nice place and has a beer garden and some parking

Called in recently for an early dinner on the A47 on the way to Kings Lynn. A friendly pub & made to feel very welcome. Had a very generous tasty Hunters Chicken washed down with some local ale. Will pop in again when the opportunity arises & definitely recommend.

lots of people was in eating so cannot be that bad I had fish and chips the fish was ok once I had took the skin of and some of the chips had black on them that did not put me of al go again.

Brilliant meal and very friendly front of house. Dog friendly

Great pub at reasonable prices. Service was excellent. Food was fab 👌

Food really tasty, Staff excellent

What a great find, don't be put off by the sign welcoming coaches , great food and really friendly staff definitely will be going back 😀 👍

Beef was melt in the mouth, and good portions. Sunday roast was fab, and the cheesecake homemade and beautiful

A selection of beverages very good, food menu means a return visit is required

We visited for our first time on a Friday2pm for our lunch and found it very inviting inside with plenty of seats and not too busy ! We had very good service with a big friendly smile from our young waitress and food was fresh & very tasty ! We would recommend this pub to others to try as well worth a visit ! X

Just want to thank the staff for being so kind to my very stressed dad and my children when they broke down opposite your pub. My children were treated incredibly well and your kindness was a real comfort for them. Thanks for giving them sandwiches and letting them use your WiFi and electric. Really put my mind at rest knowing they were safe. Thanks xx

Reasonably priced Sunday roast, very friendly staff and dog friendly. Pork was really nice but unfortunately the lamb was fairly fatty. Nice selection of veg, roast potatoes, yorkie and extra gravy.

Lovely place stopped on our way into Norfolk. I am looking forward to dining in the establishment in the near future.

Had a lovely meal for a special occasion.

Ok we orderded 3 plates of food only 2 came rite the 3rd one was another 20minutes to which the 1st 2 had finished the 3rd one the chicken was over cooked overall we was not happy we was not offered any discount will be long time going back

Always love eating here great food and atmosphere .very dog friendly and great service

food and service we're very good , quality and price of the food was great , plenty to choose from the menu , atmosphere was buzzing, i would say to book as it was very busy , but definitely worth a visit

Visit quite often as the food is always good, service is friendly, quick and great price.

For me, it is comfortable and very welcoming and the food is good. The menu is typically pub food, but the specials are very good and change often. I had the prawn cocktail from the main menu and the stuffed chicken breast with a white sauce and Lyonnaise potatoes from the specials. Going back soon for the Beef Wellington.

Food was absolutely lovely and loads of it! Will definitely eat here again. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. We will be back!
