Gryffen's Bistro in King's Lynn and West Norfolk

My daughter and I had a meal at Gryffens and was impressed by the excellent menu and the brilliant service. Becky was an example of good customer service and so pleasant and friendly. Will definitely be going back again.

Went in to possibly eat there but just stayed for a drink. Standard bar fare scampi and chips dressed up to look very posh. Expensive.

Bar muy agradable y una decoración moderna. No estaba tan lleno que era agradable. El personal era excelente y muy atento y educado. Durante todo buena experiencia y lo recomendaría si estás en la zona. No podía evitar pensar que podría haber hecho más de la zona de en frente de la plaza, así como preciosas vistas.

Bien. Lunes almuerzo siempre es un día lento. La preparación de la comida y la presentación muy envolvente, pero tomó una edad. . . . . . Me refiero a por lo menos 35 minutos. Carnoso y fresco. .

Ya explique sobre la comida. La comida excelente, el personal muy eficiente, muy limpio y pintoresco y acogedor. . Excelente lugar para alojarse y para comer, no me puedo quejar. .

We were delighted with the Bistro. Very good food and an attractive dining room. We would certainly return to the Duke's Head. It's lovely and the staff are very helpful.

We had booked a table in the restaurant that night, and due to food allergies we had requested a dietry requirement menu on booking. On ordering, the waitress had a piece of reciept paper with dishes scribbled down that they could provide gluten and diary free, we chose the duck. 20minutes later the waitress returned to inform us that the duck infact wasnt df/gf and that we needed to order something else. ok, very good on informing us, but it took an hour in total from ordering to recieving the main meal. We would have been more sure if the restaurant provided a dietry requirement menu, with all the dishes ingredients listed. The food was adequate, although we had the feeling that due to the concert outside, more staff was allocated to the open bar selling alcohol to people on the street than in the main restaurant for staying residents. There were 2 waitresses catering the restaurant at the time, they looked rushed, we had to ask for water then reminded them after 10mins, they forgot to serve us refills on drinks, but when the bill came we were still charged for the refils, as well as being charged for the original Duck order that needed to be changed.

Stopped off on our visit to Kings Lynn today to enjoy lunch at this central hotel. The food was excellent, having closen sandwiches they were freshly prepared and arrived in fresh bread of our choice together with a fresh salad and plenty of crisps. A feast indeed. Together with a fresh pot of tea which was refilled on request we found this to be a very pleasant way to spend an hour relaxing. Unfortunately we were far too full to partake of the cakes. But the ladies having afternoon tea on the next table looked to be enjoying a fantastic selection of goodies.

If you are looking for a place to impress and not worry about the cost then this is the place. Excellent service.

Stayed here for 5nights, ate in twice and once had a bar snack, all very good on all occasions, the breakfasts was good as well

The Gryffens Restaurant at the Duke's Head: Let’s be clear there are no complaints about food quality, service, ambiance, comfort. It’s probably one of the best places to go for lunch in Kings Lynn. However someone at the hotel is determined to bring shame on it. Since the New Year, we have eaten there twice. Since our previous visits it has been refurbished and there have been some price changes on the meals - roughly a pound on each meal but inexplicably Fish and Chips has jumped by about five pounds (except Fridays). Now here’s the shaming bit. We've made two visits since the New Year. First visit - gone were the small dishes of decent quality ketchup and mayonnaise that had always been provided on request. In their place was a selection of sachets but what sachets – the cheapest nastiest condiments you could ever hope to eat. When I rejected these the waitress went and found the proper stuff in the kitchen- good on her. Second Visit – before eating there I popped into a cheap store and bought a pound bottle of Heinz Ketchup and a pound bottle of Heinz mayonnaise which I used when proffered the same muck as before. Whoever decided to buy this product should reconsider. And if they won’t the management should make them! Almost all outlets offer edible stuff whether in bottles or sachets so why can't Gryffens?

Fantastic food, and excellent service from the very professional waiter. I ordered the haddock in batter, with lovely fat hand cut chips and mushy peas. It was very filling and most delicious. Only the beer let the meal down as it could have been a bit colder. The breakfast was also very good, full English, cereals & yoghurt and fruits etc or continental, eggs to order. Maybe a tad expensive though if you are staying all week.

Stayed in the hotel for two nights so had our breakfasts in the Dukes Head bistro.Very pleasant and clean,efficient staff and excellent food with a good choice.

Nearly always go here for breakfast when in town early, good food and coffee with friendly obliging staff

My Husband and I visited the Dukes Head a week ago and had a excellent Sunday Carvery just could not fault it - all food was fresh and hot and meat was melt in the mouth no chewing - home cooking just what we both enjoy - well worth a visit

It is self service buffet, but the choice and quality are good and the staff clear the dirty plates quite quickly.

Very tasty food, beautifully presented. Staff very helpful and pleasant. Prices same as would be elsewhere.

A nice little Restaurant within the Dukes Head Hotel. Fast friendly service. The set menu is well priced at £18 for two courses and £25 for three. This menu offers a choice of three mains which includes a vegetarian option. Similar options for starter and desert. Good solid food in the lovely atmosphere of this old hotel. A different dining experience is on offer in Turners Restaurant. More up-market/more expensive.No complaints in Gryffens and would visit again if in the area.

We visited here whilst visiting kings Lynn last week end. Nice ambience and very good service..just drinks for us on this occasion but had we not booked elsewhere we would have sampled the food as it looked good.

Mothers Day Carvery.Delicious food & great service. We booked a table for Mothers Day, great welcome and we even had our name reserved on our table, which my girls loved.Prawn Cocktail was a delight, my fussy 6 year old was even accommodated with her request of a plain salad (which was not on the menu)Great selection at the Carvery, the chef was extremely friendly and greeted us well.Just about managed to squeeze in the Cheesecake for pud !Maybe a little pricey £50 for 1 adult & 2 children. But very happy with our visit so would probably go again.

visited here for lunch on a cold Thursday in February. Service was good and friendly, place not too busy. I had the cheese and tomato quiche and chips which was good though quiche would was warm not hot, the salad was nice. My dad had omelette and chips which went down well. There was plenty so no room for dessert, though cake on display looked nice. The best bit being it cost just under £16 for both meals and 2 soft drinks.
