HMS Hinchinbrook in Great Yarmouth

We popped in here for an early tea after being soaked at the pleasure beach and the staff were just lovely. The kind lady gave us a table under a heater with space for us to hang our dripping my wet coats which was much appreciated! The food was great, with a very wide choice and came very quickly - thank you for a really lovely experience.

This is the 3rd time coming here & as with previous visits, everything was hot, tasty & great service. Restaurant is nice & clean, all staff are very friendly & welcoming. All in all a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend & will most definitely be back.

Simply Excellent! 3 of us visited on a Friday evening, seated quickly in a nice booth, great customer service throughout. Food was spot-on, fish was lovely and not greasy at all. Very clean restaurant. 100% recommend.

Lovely staff, food was also lovely. Bacon a bit too hard for our liking, and sausages could do with a few extra minutes. Lovely place though

Excellent fish and chips at this restaurant.. Couldn't fault it.. One large Cod, One large Haddock.. 👍👍

Fabulous, great service with a smile and a laugh, food excellent

Fantastic meal, haddock and chips plus battered king prawns. Excellent will come again

Good size portions, comfortable seating available. Right near the big wheal.

Such a pleasant experience! The shrimp pasta and salmon were delicious. Lovely warm atmosphere and terrific service.

Good fish and chips, nice hot mug of tea, lovely staff and we watched as the floor was swept after each table was vacated. Good to see cleaning in progress so stringently.

The best pie and chips ever, the pies are home made. The staff very welcoming and professional. Will definitely be returning.

WOW!! Best fish and chips we have ever had Hot, tasty and served with a smile! Not greasy at all, and nice warm roll for a chip butty Highly recommend

Eaten there twice so far and the food was top notch if your hungry have the mixed grill you won't be disappointed 😋

Second year coming here and as brilliant as before. Food exceptional and even accommodated request for platter that wasn’t currently on menu.

After searching for a place to sit down for lunch with my family, considering the reviews for this establishment, is rather take my appetite elsewhere, was told by a member of staff that they couldn't accommodate such a big family on one table. Fair enough. But to have my father in law told 15 mins after ordering, he couldn't stay seated if he was only having a drink, they wasn't that busy to need a table accommodated and to hear a customer be told to pay and leave as soon as they finished is a bit much! We ordered a portion of chips for our own table, only for them to taste like cardboard with no flavour even with cheese topping. Won't be returning.

Really lovely fish and chips. Also had a hotdog with pulled pork and cheese. I had haddock and chips with a side of curry sauce which was lovely. I thought really good value for money and if you are up this end of the town I would recommend. Good service and nice staff.

Dont go in expecting to order what you want. Went in to spend good money, refused to serve a meal due to being over the age of a childs meal, when they do not have a big appetite. Bill would of been over £50. Find it quite shocking. Will only serve if you have a medical condition or medical card

Very nice place in a great location 👍🏻 indoor and outdoor area, very nice staff keep the good work up I will be back next year many thanks. Nice vegan options, vegan hotdogs and more 😋 Just wish you could do a takeaway vegan Hotdog because I love a Hotdog 🌭 on the seafront.

Had meal on 1st Aug 2024. Chips were anaemic large chip shop sausage was 2 normal sausages, coke was nearly all soda water portions not great no atmosphere at all , lived here 22 yrs worst restaurant visited in great Yarmouth avoid avoid avoid

Absolutely awful experience, from start to finish, the standard of service was totally unprofessional. The manner of the staff and assuming the owner (the old hagged woman) was unacceptable. Told we can not go inside to sit. Then when it came to order the old hagged woman was rude and abruptly told us we cannot make any changes to the very basic breakfast menu as the chef was too fussy (obviously it's rocket science for the microwave technician to not put beans on a plate and add an extra fried egg) Before even being given the chance to drink our drink, the bill was shoved in our faces. God forbid we pay all together. Obviously, her caulculator wasn't working today. Never saw the food and wouldn't even attempt to guess how awful it would be after being treated like that. Get better staff and learn how to treat other people. If I could give zero stars I would.

We dined here as my mum and dad had a great experience dining here a year earlier. We got a table straight away and our drinks and food orders were taken very quickly. Our drinks arrived quickly. However we waited almost an hour for food. We initially enquired when people around us who arrived after us got served their dinners to the point where everyone else in the restaurant got their food and we were still waiting. The waiter blamed this on a "system error " whereas I thought they just forgot. It got to the point where we were about to walk out when our food arrived. The food was actually very very good- highly recommended but was tainted by the poor service. The manager was a lovely lady who apologised profusely when we went to pay and gave us a discount. It is only because of how she handled the situation, that I am giving it four stars.

I visited yesterday as a family of five. The food was good, especially the cod and chips which was superb. The service was quick and it was an enjoyable meal. I would recommend and visit again.

We couldn't geeet into our normal fish and chippy and I am so happy about that as we found hitchinbrook. Wonderful food, lovely atmosphere and accessible for wheelchair users. Definitely worth the price

We came in for a takeaway fish and chips (as advertised on your glass outside!) Initially nice but the lady that served us quickly turned sour over the most ridiculous reason. We asked for an additional WOODEN FORK which apparently was the trigger for her resistance and nasty attitude in giving us an additional set, because the £13 we have already paid for a small fish and chips wasn't enough. This was then made worse as she mumbled about "this is why we dont do takeaway" after it is clearly advertised on your glass, maybe you should smash that part of it out? Perhaps luring tourists in and then ruining your reputation is better? The main takeaway for this is that this lady wanted to bicker over 5p worth of wooden cutlery (a pack of 100 is 4.99 on amazon), possibly even less than that providing you are smart enough to buy it in bulk seeing as you are a business. All of this to say it truly was a small portion and mediocre at its best. Whats next, the salt shaker is chargeable based on the # of grains you've taken? Vinegar by the drop? That staff member is a liability to the business and has no place in customer service. Dont go here.

The owner was very welcoming and had time to talk through the menu for two of our party that are coeliacs. The staff were attentive and friendly. Food was excellent.

The only place we eat at when we come to Great Yarmouth! Their staff are so friendly and always so helpful with the menu. Their food is well cooked and seasoned every time. The steak was great and the ribs hit every single time.

Did me a solid, amazing as per.

We love to come to have fish and chips We see you in September

It was ok. Staff were friendly and accommodating but for the portions and the food I thought it was very expensive. I've had many fish and chips both takeaway and restaurant and this is by far the most expensive for the serving size and quality. But the overall experience was nice. Staff were nice. It's a nice place. But I probably wouldn't return. I've had much better for much cheaper.

Love this place great fish & chips

Staff are so welcoming and the food was amazing! Best fish and chips I’ve ever had! The small fish was larger than I expected.

Lots of choice on the menu, freshly cooked food and attentive staff.

Absolutely delicious staff were lovely will 100% be visiting again

Toilet very clean. Food very fresh and delicious.

What an amazing resturant. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Food was amazing with the chiefs going above and beyond to accommodate us.

Love this place its one of my favourite places to go and the lady there is brilliant x

Don't bother says closes at 8pm, went at 5.30pm to be told we are closing now. Walked quite a way to try this place after reading reviews. Won't bother again.

Wonderful welcome for all of us. Plenty of space for pushchairs. Dog was very much welcome. Food was lovely, they even supplied books for our daughter. Very good experience.

We went there on a cold and rainy day after a visit to Sea Life and really enjoyed our fish and chips. The staff was very friendly and they were very tolerant of our toddler toddling about. They had a high chair for him and even a picture book to keep him entertained. Prices were also very reasonable. Nice stay, good chat, excellent food.

Gorgeous place to eat on the Seafront with reasonable prices and good drinks! Truly one of the best roasts we've had (tried beef and gammon) and fan of the bacon burgers they do here also! Also cocktails for a bargain and the service is pretty awesome! Very nice place to relax and enjoy a meal. They even gave a selection of the meats on request without charge, very kind! Only thing which is not an issue, they ask you to pay upfront when you eat outside. That is due to tourists doing a runner, so at first we were confused but when it was explained we didn't mind, makes sense! Just maybe before we have our meals in front of us 😁 don't hesitate!

Nice fish and chips. In overall food was good.

Fair service, fair pricing, and fair food. Plenty room for groups as well as some cosy booths for a bit more privacy. The "Cash preferred" sign at the pay point seemed dated in 2024, but our card was accepted with a smile. We'd definitely be happy to eat here again.

Lovely people and amazing food!!

The team fitted us in without a booking on a Sunday which was great. The staff were friendly and the food was delicious and quick to arrive. You have to pay at the bar. The toilets were clean. Overall I would recommend:

Fabulous meal for Mother’s Day ! Food was amazing and service was spot on ! Lovely staff all very helpful and welcoming! Would highly recommend the roasts, I had the beef and others the lamb, everyone cleared their plate , thank you to all for their hard work !

Lovely Sunday roast, great Vegan roast! Let us bring the dog in.

Lovely clean restaurant. Good menu choices for adults and kids alike. Good value. Staff extremely friendly and attentive.

Went here yesterday. 8 of us plus a high chair. We were lucky that we got in as we hadn't booked. The service was great, very welcoming, friendly and accommodating. They were great with my little niece, gave her a book to look at , which she loved. The food was really good, top quality. I had the roast beef and it was really lovely. Nothing was frozen, or tinned. Everything was fresh and made from scratch. Childrens portions were really good to. Will definitely come back here again. Best in the area .

This place is a must if your in Yarmouth, the fish and chips was so fresh and a great portion size, the staff was very friendly and pretty quick to be served, all round had a great experience with the family

Had Sunday lunch,, absolutely delicious, lots of flavours going on, very well thought our and cooked, service was as amazing as the food 👍👍

Just got back to our hotel after having tea here. I had plaice and chips, other half had cod and chips....all really tasty, presentation lovely and service was wonderful....will definitely be back.

Food was average service was good

We had lovely food here today Sunday roast was perfect very tasty and good produce used , we had roast chicken and pork dinner and our fussy grandchildren had the kids portions nuggets and the fish and they said it was lovely too.

The Sunday roast was beautiful. The beef the gravy, veggies everything. Thank you xx

food burned so bad couldn't eat poor effort

Had a Chicken Breast roast dinner and it was well cooked and plenty of food and tasted great. The owner made us feel welcome and was friendly. Great service too.

Have been to the hinchinbrook few times before in the last couple of years. Was always well pleased with food. Tasty hot and well presented. Went there Saturday evening. Was disappointed. Burger was okay. Nothing special. And I had lasagne chips and a hot chocolate. Hot Was a cold chocolate!!!! And lasagne wasn't nice hard lasagne sheets and again cold. Wasn't a good meal. Children's meals were okay!! Didn't come round and ask if food okay.use to!! Shouldn't take it for granted that they always have customers cos circumstances can change in a instance. Clean restaurant. Parking in road. Or carpark along seafront.

Friendly service, freshly cooked food,

We ate here twice during our stay in great Yarmouth, food was beautiful both times. Sunday roast is the best roast we have had in a long time, highly recommend.

Ordered hot dog and paid £2 extra for "paprika" wedges. Resulting in a single burnt potato worth of wedges with no flavour whatsoever. What on earth I paid £2 extra for I don't know. Moving mountain hot dog is fine despite it also being slightly burnt on the bottom.

We were greeted & seated (3 adults, 2 children) ordered drinks & food. After being served we had to ask for the appropriate amount of cutlery, then hunt on different tables for sauces we wanted. Salmon was overcooked, beans were overcooked, 2x chicken nugget meals were school canteen standard at best, burger was beyond bland, skin-on fries were soooo dry & the onion ring was literally a piece of onion skin battered. We pointed out that we weren't happy with our meal, and what you see in the attached pictures is the food that we left. Upon going up to settle the bill we were met by the owner/manager who mumbled to the cashier that we could be discounted the price of one of the chicken nugget portions, she then proceeded to abruptly address us that "nobody else had complained" and "we can't see inside onion rings" Rude, arrogant behaviour (this has been pointed out in other reviews), shouldn't be in hospitality with mannerisms like that. Even with the discount, our meal was £80+ Overpriced, poor quality, awful attitude. Avoid!

My wife liked the cod, new potatoes and green beans but I only ate half of my Meal: plant burger n chips .. completely and totally tasteless.. this was our first time. There won’t b a second :(

Have been here a number of times over the years. Unfortunately the prices seem to have gone up (its Yarmouth) and the food has gone down. I had a large haddock with chips which looked much better than it tasted. The haddock had no real taste at all and was all batter covering a thin later of haddock (which as I say was a bonus as it was tasteless anyway. A real let down and at around £15 not good.

Love here in general. The vegan burger though was a bit of a disappointment this time round. I mean yes I do know the size of them, but when I opened it up and saw the massive BIG bun i was excited, to then lift up the top and the burger massively swamped by the bun was a but of a let down as it was the big buns for meat burgers.

Great fish and chips in a clean and family-run restaurant. Come here to sit down and watch the rides whilst enjoying a cold beer and made-to-order fish and chips.

Really nice restaurant, allows dogs in the outside seating. Nice to have a vegan option that was similar to regular food. Huge portions. Lovely to sit and watch the ferris wheel and slingshot.

Just came back from great yarmouth and had to write a review on a little gem we found.It was so good we went both Friday and Saturday.The food was perfect and the steak pie i had on Saturday night was FANTASTIC. The staff were lovely to. They went out of their way to make it a beautiful evening. 100 of of 10 guys.Keep up the fantastic work.

Nice restaurant on the seafront. Would have been nice to have some grilled fish options. Good ribs. Can be busy so worth booking.

Charming family run business with awesome food and terrific staff. Relaxed, good value and high quality. Super friendly hostess (owner) who runs a tight ship. Definitely recommended.

What a gem of a place!! Staff is very friendly and accommodating in every way. Food was jus fab. We loved it ❤️

Lovely freshly prepared food. Goid portions. Clean and tidy and plenty of seating available. Credit cards accepted.

What a gem!! Very friendly staff, accommodating every of our food requirements. Highly recommend 👌

Popped in for a drink, was met with very friendly service.

Has to be the worst fish and chips I've ever tasted or didn't taste as it was so bland! Partners steak which they said was sirloin was definitely a minute steak, burnt and no seasoning yet wanted £25...100% frozen food

Battered sausages 🙄 a blonde lady welcomed us … she was really rude … food wasn’t good. Stuffed with oil! No chicken in the grill menu ( just hamburger chicken / who knows whatever was inside as the sausage was really mixed, not even had taste of meat) 🙈 the lady that served us was really lovely person ❤️i just came here for grill and reviews ! Won’t come back!

Really nice Fish and chips the only let down being the amount of tartare sauce given was in those McDonald's in-house tomato ketchup paper cups which seemed a bit stingy. Overall the fish was lovely.

Food was lovely. Always is from this place. The loaded fries are worth the extra pennies.

Wonderful food served by lovely staff

This is a reasonably large sea front restaurant serving a holiday clientele. The food was hot but not particularly appetising and I felt for the pie it was overpriced. The restaurant was clean and service reasonably quick. When I requested some additionally gravy we were told we would be charged extra for it. Unbelievable. Food filled a hole but I would not rush back

The food was lovely, service was very good. We were sat outside and were asked to pay for food prior to service, we didn't have an issue with this at the time, seemed good business practice.. However customers arriving before and after weren't asked to pay until they had comsumed their food. Please explain your policy. Seems very judgemental and rude. How do you pick your clientele, we both have very good paid jobs. How dare you judge us? Just rude, will we come back again or recommend ..... no. Judgemental and bad business error!!! An explanation would be good.

Must say the food was actually good to be fair, ive seen previous reviews about the same complaint im about to make and its about the rude middle age waitress grey/blonde hair who has no matters when speaking to customers. Bearing in mind there was a lot of us she was so rude! How is she still working front of house when there are so many complaints about her.

Had the loveliest meal and service today. The kids absolutely loved it and loved the super friendly service. It was lovely and clean and felt like a super special treat but at a reasonable price! Went as a group of 7 and everybody loved the food and said how lovely the atmosphere was!

Really wonderful, friendly family owned place. Huge portions for the prices, delicious food. Lady took care to ensure we had a sea view. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely delicious. Only gripe really pricey. I would happily come back.

Ordered Lasagne with salad, Foot long hotdog with skin on fries. The fries were hard and quite a few were green, the onions on top of the hotdogs were awful. Looked and tasted like they had been sitting around for a while, very sloppy. The service was good. Sadly won't be visiting again or recommending.

Went in once and food was fine although salmon expensive and beans overcooked. Went in again with my son who was unwell and really needed the toilet .was very rudely told I needed to be seated first. When we came out of the toilet was told to leave which was absolutely fine as after the way we'd been talken to, would never eat there again and would say avoid unless you like rudeness. Never ever been spoken to like that in a cafe. No regard for my son's condition. Disgusting behaviour and has put me off going to great yarmouth.

Lovely staff, clean restaurant, great food. Had a lovely welcome family of 2 adults and 2 children. Had 1 kids cod and chips, 1 kids macaroni cheese and 2 large cod meals. All lovely, fresh and hot and we all really enjoyed our meals. Would definitely go back.

Arrived just as they were closing, however warmly welcomed us in with our dog. Couldn't recommend this place higher. The staff here obviously have it's best interests at heart, it really shows how much it means to them. The service here was excellent. The food was also fantastic. The battered plaice was the freshest I've ever had, and with perfect batter. Others in our group had the gammon, which they loved. Brilliant family run venue which I hope do extremely well in the future, because they absolutely deserve it. Huge thank you to the gentleman front of house and the chefs.

My meal was Absolutely disgusting sent it back. Never had fish like it and we go regularly to a fish restaurant where we live. When my lunch was presented the cod was that thin it was in an arch shape either cooked from frozen or it was just batter and skin. My husband had large haddock at £15.50 and the fish was not white as it should be it was grey and did not seem fresh.

I have to say we have just had the most superb food freshly prepared, Salmon, baby New potato's green beans all in a very tasty herby butter sauce. A taste sensation 😋 My husband had the five bean chilli he was over the moon with how tasty it was. So thankyou for all the work in the preparation and presentation 🙌 You just make our holiday!😊😋

My friend and I went fur dinner last night here. Lovely service and greeting from the owner. Great portion size lovely clean environment. Best on the sea front.

Decent fish and chips along the seafront in Great Yarmouth. Adnans draught cider was really good. Comfortable booth seating. Good portion sizes.

5* everything. Beautiful food, nice and fresh. Nothing greasy. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Had the captains catch platter, lovely to share between 2 people

Great food. Staff are very welcome. Good pint off cider. I had gammon with chips.

Excellent food, homemade pie was really tasty, as was the prawn tagliatelle. It's definitely worth eating at when at the beach.

Went with little one and mum on a weekend for lunch. The meal was tasty. The rib, in particular, we had was really juicy, tender and flavourful. Good variety on the standard menu. They have kids meals as well. They even have day's special. Various seating configurations to choose from and it feels really cozy and great hospitality. Thank you.

The front of the HMS Hinchinbrook hides a real gem of the Great Yarmouth promenade. I've always avoided this place as it always looked a bit old and tired when I walked past, but went there on Saturday as it was away from the chaos of The Wheels Festival and had outside seating which suited the dog. Great attentive service and the food and drink were out in double quick time too. Good, honest British fish and chips, and great value as well. Would recommend.

Excellent service, very friendly, Clean facilities with good good in a great location on the sea front

Food was pretty decent, decent portions, not the cheapest, but decent enough 👍🏻

Was on holiday in Great Yarmouth and saw this little restaurant and popped in on the off-chance. Wow we hadn't had fish and chips for a few years but oh my god this place is wonderful. Plenty of choice of food and drink. Enjoyed it...
