Greenstone in Breckland - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Celebrated Mother's day with my 88 year old mum and was greeted by professional yet friendly staff at the beginning and at the carvery in a fantastic way

Has the same fare menu as similar franchised outlets in Norwich, which have been good in our experience. Cannot say the same for this establishment. It started with the drink. I asked for a Coca Cola. At the table I tasted it and to me tasted awful, with a horrible after taste (to me), and took it back and was replaced. The reason was, it was not Coca Cola, it was Pepsi Max, something I have never had. I was not told they do not serve Coca Cola, I made do anyway but not drink it all. My wife's piece fish had been on a diet, it was the skinniest piece of fish seen, and covered with over done dark batter, and her chips were as mine, only warm. As said my fries were only warm, and again, the covering the chicken fillet had been over cooked to a dark colour, and affected the taste. We put his event to a bad experience, and mentioned we would not come here again. As it happened, a member of staff asked if everything was alright. We took the opportunity to complain about our meal, as above, he went away saying he'll see what we can do about that to manager. Having finished our meal about 10 minutes later, with no one bothering to come back to us on our complaint, we walked out. As a mention, the time was 14.44 when we ordered, and there were only 4 tables occupied. The carvery was unappetising, because I suppose the peak time for that had passed, with a dried up small end cut of beef, the gammon end cut was also dried out. The pork I could not see as cut side was face down. Definitely will not be going there again.

First time eating here. Couldn't fault the staff, they were very friendly. We had a roast dinner which was lovely, but nearly cold, only saved by piping hot gravy. Not sure we would go again 😕

The food was lovely and came out fairly quickly. Loads of meat at the carvery and the service was fine. Serving staff friendly and cheerful. Only downside, is that the chef had long curly hair and a beard and neither were covered! Surely for health and safety, his hair should be covered with a hair net? Not very good as he could drop hair in the food. Other restaurants seem to have hair covered for kitchen staff, so what is the ruling on this? Kinda puts me off from having a carvery there in future!

Really poor service today which was disappointing, no apology .Waited an hour for desserts had to ask if we had been forgotten.

We ordered 2 burgers and 3 carveries, burgers took 40 minutes to arrive. Good job we waited to get our carvery otherwise we would have been eating separately. The beef was almost non existstent it was so flat I thought I'd try my luck and ask for beef hoping they'd come and put a new piece out.. They didn't! It was gristly and hard because I'd got the fatty and Crispy hard end.. Not nice. Roast potatoes were hard, carrots were dry and grey... Not very appealing atall and the cabbage was also dry and very underwhelming. I had peas (safe choice) they were OK, Cauliflower cheese tasted nice but the chef needs to learn to cut the stalks off!! It was hard to find the florets. Mash was delicious and the Yorkshire pudding was yummy. Stuffing ball was rock hard, I didn't even attempt it. The burgers that my sons had were apparently delicious so maybe the greenstone could put more effort and care into the carvery. It was 1pm so not exactly mid afternoon, the food should be fresh hot and look appealing. I won't be hurrying back.. 😔

I recently dined at a delightful food place in Dereham and had a wonderful experience! The food was absolutely lovely, bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. Although the beer was a bit flat, the staff were incredibly accommodating when I called for a variation on my meal due to a bad tooth, and the service throughout was simply lovely. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for delicious food and top-notch service in Dereham! would recommend instead of fast food place for sure

Before we got our drinks our cutlery arrived with blue roll as napkins. Then after a drink we had another drink, both drinks were the same but served in different glasses. Meal was ok but could have been so much better

Worst carvery I've ever tried to eat infact l left half of it we usually come here every Thursday after weekly shop but last week put us off so we went somewhere else which was actually slightly cheaper on food and drinks and it was nice so may revisit as near tesco but won't touch carvery

Food was inedible. We had a carvery and the Beef was inedible, the Cauliflower Cheese Hard and the stuffing solid as a rock. We were offered Steak Knives to cut our meat bur they did not cut through it either! A Chainsaw may have done the job! Awful experience and would not recommend!!

After races cancelled due to the rain my great niece rang from Fakenham racecourse and we were lucky for this pub to be able to do a carvery for sixteen of us family business friends on arrival we’re greeted with politeness etc seated together and can say we all had a lovely carvery ages from twelve to eighty one plus some deserts we had a lovely time we’re not rushed and would definately recommend vegs potatoes three meats etc

Went here for Christmas dinner the staff and chefs were great very pleasing friendly and helpful Having a gluten free dairy free and fish free child they were very accommodating 10/10

Visited Christmas day, first ever Christmas eating out and can honestly say we wasn't disappointed. Spoke with staff and chef about my youngest having 4 allergies and the chef went out of his way to make sure there was a dessert for my daughter, for a gluten and dairy free dessert it wasted amazing! Staff on the day were happy and great to be served by, a fabulous meal all round food was amazing. Thank you to all and a merry Christmas to you

1. seated 10 minutes past our reservation time 2.had to reorder food for the 4th time. Which took half an hour 3. Waited an astronomical amount of time for starter plates to be collected 4. Waited an hour fifteen for orders which were not carvery. 5. Carvery veg was more oil less veg 6. Served dessert before mains plates were collected

Terrible, terrible ! Prawns in prawn cocktail 10 and cold nearly frozen . Meat dry , vegetables overcooked! Yorkshire pudding you can kill someone that’s was so hard . And standing for hours under lamp. Service slow slow slow . Never again until New chefs new staff! Bad opinion between town people !

The carvery was amazing, the beef was cooked beautifully and was tender, homemade Yorkshire puddings were crispy, lovely selection of veg, I personally love cauliflower cheese and was really cheesy which was nice, the server was very friendly, bar staff were quick with drinks considering...

Good friendly service.Food not very good.prawn cocktail, 8 prawns in sauce, bit of lettuce and 3 bits cucumber,looked and tasted unappetising. Carvery, veg warm, potatoes hard, where they'd been out a while, 1 tiny slice beef, like boot leather, turkey ok, but so small slice....

Very dissapontied unfortunately No Beef or Lamb on offer and no apple sauce to go with the pork. The carvery we had Pork which was OK . Would we return not sure

Saturday evening so we expect it to be busy and it was which is ok but no bitter beer available at the bar and only pork available at the carvery must be down to bad planning by the management especially as all the tables were...

food was excellent and the pudding was amazing I understand it was a saturday and probably going to get busy but the service could have been better

Came in for a meal last week and everything was perfect. Carvery was very tasty and as a bonus the staff were all friendly and helpful. Definitely will be returning.

We stopped here for a meal after a local sightseeing trip,in hindsight we should have pushed on Located on a busy road and accessed behind McDonald’s,and on the edge of an industrial park,it’s not the best site Not many people eating but it is a...

Took the kids for a treat and every plate was finished! Staff friendly and service was relatively quick considering the place was full, bouncy castle provided which was a nice touch. Food is fresh and tasty definitely will make a return visit

Lovely food and brilliantly catered for our anniversary. I mentioned it when booking that it was our first wedding anniversary and they pulled out all the stops with dessert. Delicious and brilliant staff. Thank you!!

A very long wait for food, and when it was delivered it was clear it had been left under a heat lamp. The food was dried up. Charged for a portion of onion rings and got 3 onion rings. Food was plonked on table, had...

It’s a Marstons, so what you see is what you get generally with these pubs. Pretty decent decor but a carvery lacking flavour and all a bit dry. Luckily I could coat it in gravy. A more family friendly area at the back which keeps...

This place is a prime example of idiotic people running a chain of restaurants trying to screw people over! We Both had the regular carvery, the 2 slices of meat served were cut so thinly I think a baby could of chewed them, vegetable selection...

Went here for lunch with a friend. Ordered the chicken club, only criticism is that the bread was toasted too much. So when they put it together and they cut it, it all fell apart. Friend ordered the tuna and cheese panini which he couldn’t...

Great meal. Great service and with a smile too. Lovely staff. Clean and tidy. Reasonably priced food

Poor service. Lady taking our order was actually rude. Waitress scraped plates on to other plates on our table . Ran out of all icecream so couldn't do deserts on a Sunday afternoon. Shame as food wasn't too bad but service let it down. Won't...

Always had a great experience at the pub. Staff friendly and helpful. We have 3 children under 10 and the pub have great facilities to keep them busy after the meal. I would add some more outdoor things for them to do , to attract...

food was amazing, deffo worth visiting, james was really quick and made it an easy breeze for us when ordering at the bar

The food was really, really good. All hot and tasty. Steak was cooked really well. Service was impeccable. Really good service from James and Sam. Will be back and would definitely recommend.

Lovely staff, served by James - nothing was too much for him. Food was lovely. Nice atmosphere. Clean and tidy

Marston Greenstones Inn is well worth visiting. The dining areas and carvery food is excellent value for money with meat and vegetables selection hard to beat for a meal for under £10. We look forward to the next visit!

We had a carvery and it was delicious. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We couldn’t fault it.

I attended a Disney Princess event here today with my 4 year old daughter. The event was wonderful, the staff were great. We had a wonderful afternoon. Would totally recommend attending an event there again if one is put on. Thank you for a great...

Total lack of customer care my partner tried her meal it was cold and dry I returned to the table tried my food it was cold and dried up asked for the supervisor to check all the food on the carvery with a thermometer she...

Greenstones is our 'go to' lunch destination, reasonably priced and a decent carvery. Sadly, not today though. The carvery price has increased a lot and the quality has reduced a lot. Today, the only green veg were peas, along with a few soggy carrots, cold...

Terrible meal Steak not cooked Asked for well done it was raw A lot of people were complaining and sending meals back

Came in for lunch for a friends day out, was seated to our table and pleased with the wide range of items available on the menu, I ended up choosing the korma as it was on a deal which I thought was superb, my order...

My wife and I popped in to the Greenstone pub in Dereham Norfolk for a quick lunch which we have done before on several occasions. This time we both ordered the gammon steaks, as my wife has a tomato allergy we requested no tomatoes on...

I was passing through Dereham and looking for somewhere to eat, and stumbled across the Greenstone. I don’t know the area at all so gave it a go. I found everything really good. From the friendly greeting to the friendly waitress and the quality of...

Lovely food , atmosphere was great with friend family . Definitely recommend. The stuff was very helpfull !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We went to greenstone for carvery which was great but for stingy portion of stuffing and watery thin gravy .Staff were fantastic

We visited at lunchtime today and got a friendly welcome.We had two carvery meals with a choice of 3 meats.Lovely selection of fresh vegetables and hot gravy.We recommend Greenstone for a reasonably priced roast.

A very poor meal indeed! We ordered 3 carvery’s and a meal from the main menu. As we like to eat together we waited for the main meal to be ready before going to get the carvery. We were informed when the main meal was...

Excellent carvery, customer service and experience. All the staff from server, bar and chef(who organised something special for our daughter) was top notch. The service was with care and genuine so did not feel like a chain. We'd pick Greenstones any day. ALWAY good food...

Visited yesterday with daughter and grandson. We all had the carvery. It was the best carvery I’ve had in a long time. The staff are really friendly and helpful too. Will definitely go back.

We booked a table of four on the 27th January, we have recently returned to Greenstone as it seemed to have upped its game carvery wise, sadly this place is never consistent. We arrived at the carvery to see three tiny bits of roast meat,...

Lovely food, place was lovely and clean and staff very friendly, 5 of us had burgers and 2 had the carvery, we all enjoyed the food

It was all reet. Mrs B put her hand in her pocket and coughed up for dinner. It always tastes better when someone else is paying. No one is coming here for a romantic meal with top ingredients. It’s a urban pub and attracts the...

Ok, so 1st and foremost , it has to be the awful service ! Once seated we were left to work out whether to wait for Service or order ourselves. The latter it was as no one came to the table. Ordered 2 carverys. No...
