Great food and very pleasant staff. Clean and comfortable seating. Quick service. Nothing too much trouble for staff. Plenty of car parking.

Ella was courteous with our order. Helena served us and was polite. We have dined here several times as a family now, because we know we will get value for money with good service. It has a relaxed atmosphere and feels spacious. We didn’t take any pictures of our meals to show you what they’re like but portion sizes are good and the food has always been nice. Greene King give 15% discount on Blue Light Cards as well :)

So disappointed. Have eaten here on many occasions and never really had any issues - tonight was a very different experience. Started was OK but the staff did not check on us and when they eventually bought the mains, we were told “sorry, the staff did not realise you had finished your starters so things may be over cocked”. Cheesy chips were cooked past recognition. The steaks which were supposed to be med/well or med were very well done. Sisters meal was wrong and literally plonked on the tray and I had an incinerated bun. Whilst they changed the meal for my sister to what she had ordered, it was still just thrown on a metal tray. They replaced my bun with one that was not even toasted a little bit. If it had been busier, I could have understood a bit but we were the only ones eating. I never expected a gourmet meal. Shall be giving it a miss from now on - such a shame to have had such a poor experience.

Pub almost empty, but loads of staff. Took ages to get the sharing starters (x2). These had been finished for about 30 mins when the waitress said ‘the kitchen didn’t realise you’d finished your starters so things are overcooked’. Then what proceeded to come out was burnt food, dry meat and just an array of horrible food. Loads of young lads in the kitchen with their music on a full blast. No communication with the serving staff, so our food had just sat there cooking under a heater I suppose. We had been waiting ages so when the food finally came out at 9pm (we’d got in there just before 7pm) we just wanted to eat and get home as it was late. We had to send back some inedible and incorrect food, but we just accepted what it was and won’t be going back.

We were a group of 11 adults and children and although we got turned away from another pub, the staff here were so welcoming and sat us straight away. The menu is a typical Green King menu, with good choices to suit everyone needs (Veggie & vegan). Food came quickly and was tasty, warm and well cooked (no complaints at all). All the staff were lovely, the pub was getting busy with a live band, but wasn't too loud and the kids really enjoyed it! Overall, a spontaneous meal out which turned out to be an awesome meal and great evening.

Came for a weekday lunch and took advantage of the "2 classics for £13.49" my wife and I had the steak and ale pie and, I have to say, I wouldn't have complained if I had had to pay full price for it. All the food seems really well priced and there was a nice atmosphere with friendly staff. Would recommend and we will be back at some point.

After eating here last night I am reluctant to ever go back. I ordered the steak flatbread it arrived 4 small slices of chargrilled steak and lettuce that was going bad. The steak was so overdone it was impossible to chew. The chips were, in my opinion, slightly undercooked.

We ate here a few times. It was great, the staff were great, the food was fab. My only negative comment is that the place looks tired inside, old and tatty.

Met some friends here this evening for a meal and a few drinks (not the first time). It's not a gastro pub but what it is...is comfortable, clean, welcoming and relaxed. The staff are always friendly and the food is perfectly decent. It's standard chain pub fare but good value for money and we've always enjoyed our evenings. The rib eye steak this evening was perfectly cooked, delicious and of a good size. No complaints from any of our party and we'd not hesitate to go back.

We dropped in for a bite to eat for my sister’s birthday celebrations and were warmly welcomed and looked after by John and his team. We ate a wide range of foods which we all enjoyed and we all commented on the hospitality that we had received throughout our visit. Would definitely recommend this pub to others looking for good casual food and service.

Visited on 2nd April for an evening meal. Can not make a judgement on the food as we waited at the bar for a drink. The young lady behind the bar walked past us twice, more concerned with the tv channels and remote controls than actually serving us a drink. The young man waiting on the tables said he would serve us instead. It never happened. The food may be good, the service definitely isn’t.

Visited with a group of friends to watch a live band ( what a treat nowadays!) A warm greeting by the staff and managed to find a table to perch at. Good selection of drinks at very reasonable prices- even bogof on cocktails ( from 6-9 on a Friday night!) Barman even remembered our drinks round on the second visit to the bar-very impressed! Only slight downside was some of the party left early due to a small screaming child from 10-10.30 pm ( children leaving pubs at 9 obviously is a thing if the past) Menu looked good - although we didn’t eat on this occasion . Will return- yes!

Been several times over a couple of years and never had a problem. The staff are brilliant, granted sometimes they look like another pair of hands would not go amiss but won’t hold it against them. The menu is ‘chain pub’ but had crap food in other places, here is is always fresh and hot. Good selection of beers that don’t break the bank

We visited this pub and was initially pleased with the decor and feel of the establishment.we than ordered food and the young lady who came to bring is our drinks then told me it was a half an hour wait for food.By this point we were very hungry but we had already paid so had no choice but to wait. Approx 40 mins later the food came which was not as I would have hoped due to the portion size, a mediocre amount of chips and 2 onion rings which to be fair was all cooked nicely except that the chips were Luke warm and the burger roll didn't seem very fresh. next time we will find another establishment to eat as this fell below par for us.

I have used this establishment on several occasions for the purpose described and for that purpose it’s ideal. It’s halfway for us to meet, and the food is very good for what is meant to be . It a reasonably priced cheap and convenient diner with no delusions of grandeur. It’s clean, affordable and conveinient without any further ideas. It fits kids at a good price and endeavours to keep them occupied with TV. On that score I have certainly not got any complaints. I will be using it again in January for the same purpose

Went here this evening. I had cheese beef burger, husband had double bacon cheese burger. They arrived with chips. Husband said shouldn’t his come with lettuce. Waitress went and got some lettuce but my husband did look in the meantime and there was in fact a small piece of lettuce on the bottom of the bun. It wasn’t until we had finished abd were thinkin of ordering pudding that we looked at the menu and realised we were also missing the tomato, red onion and burger sauce. Have been here before and been happy with our food but tonight’s meal was a disappointment.

We visited the Pub/ Restaurant tonight (Friday) . Which is Burger night . Ordered a double cheeseburger . Well let’s say it was so dry ! They had no burger sauce to add to the burgers. The cheese was a freezing cold piece of fake cheese. Rubbish . Wouldn’t have minded if had been told about no sauce but to be honest it was inedible. No brioche bun either . This pub has been refurbished Shane the food is not upto the standard of the fixtures and fittings !!

Husband and I ordered the chicken in a Yorkshire pud for our lunch today, When it arrived, the Yorkshire was stodgy, unable to cut, we had to rip it with our cutlery. The chicken was really dry, the only thing good about it was the roast potatoes. It said on the menu we would get sage & onion stuffing,, it was not on the plate, the veg was not very warm. Minimal amount of gravy too. Not one member of staff came over, as they normally would, to ask if everything was okay, We decided to not even say thank you as we normally would when we leave anywhere, as we do eat out regularly. I can honestly say, this was the worst lunch we have had in many years.Totally disappointed

Today I took my 4 year old bother to this place for lunch. I ordered a chicken mayo wrap and him chunky chicken nuggets. To start with these so called chunky chicken nuggets were around half the size of a regular chicken nugget. And then my chicken MAYO wrap had not one drop of mayo in it and the chicken was so dry I couldn’t eat it. And I cannot even describe what was on my salad. The staff in there were absent so I had no choice but to sit and wait until my plate was collected to put in my complaint. The member of staff said he’d talk to the chef. I waited a further 15 minutes but no one came back to my table with any sort of apology or resolution. So I left. Moral of the story is, if you ever come to eat in fakenham ALWAYS choose whether spoons.

Eaten here twice recently. The first visit was good. Usual pub fare at reasonable prices. Food was well cooked and fairly quick service.The second visit was not good. Two of our party ordered steaks. One was eatable but not very tender, the other was uneatable and was sent back. Not only was the replacement steak uneatable but it was severely burnt on both sides. We then decided to order macaroni cheese instead, thinking that this would be quick to cook and serve as the rest of us had almost finished our meals. It took ages for them to serve the macaroni cheese.Before leaving we complained and asked for a refund of £1, the difference in price between the steak and mac cheese. We were given the £1 plus another £5 for the bad service we received.Overall a bad experience of this establishment. If you decide to eat here, don't order steak!!

Unfortunately this is not a dog friendly pub although they are allowed in the beer garden. We stopped for lunch and the food arrived promptly and hot. You know what you are getting with a Hungry Horse and therefore we were not disappointed in our expectations. My one criticism is that the salad leaves served with the mushroom starter were limp, bruised and soggy. They had probably been keep in a fridge which was too cold. The staff were all very friendly and although the food isn't top quality it is tasty.

We have visited this place about 5 times since moving to the area in January. We love the size of the food here and how much it costs! Great value for money. I have had the odd meal that has been....well pretty average , but overall I've been happy. Although it is a lot smaller than some places in the hungry horse group, and seating can be hard to come by. And it does have one of the longest waits I've ever had for food once ordered! One time over an hour. However if your not in a rush it's not a problem. Could do with more staff working the tills and bar for sure. Last visit was 5 staff wandering around but only the one guy that seemed to be able to serve people. He works hard!!! Overall...yea I like the place

We eat here about 4 or 5 times a year on a Saturday evening. The staff are friendly and attentive. The meals which were good and served quickly are also good value. We visited after 8pm which is a quieter time and is nicer. We have always been satisfied with our visits. Its pub chain food but we tend to have grills and fish so it has to be cooked rather then microwaved so it comes out well cooked.

Myself and my family visited this evening (24/08). Waste of time they had nothing left that we wanted to order and offered no alternative. No gammon left, no mixed grill then no steak. The waitress was rude and made no apologies for the lack of choice. We were on holiday and just wanted a decent meal. We had a quick drink then got fish and chips. Hardly any staff on duty. Very disappointed.Would not recommend.

This place is what it is . I always take the kids here as i know the service is quick , the food is ok and the kids can be kids . Yes the tables are a bit sticky but the food is cheap and you dont have to be on high alert with an uncontrollable 2 year old. If you dont have experience of this place dont come if you want a polished dining experience . The staff are lovely and do their best. But its not that kind of restaurant. If you want something quick and cheap and are not really fussed about having gleaming glasses then this is the place to come.

We visited yesterday evening (9th August 2018) really wish I didn't, really ruined our evening, we couldn't just sit down & enjoy our meals. Not one thing was right.Children's meals were meant to be a larger children meal, but came with around 10 chips & overly cooked nuggets, my younger daughter had fish fingers & they were black, I couldn't actually believe they served them to us, My husband had the big plate special fish, and it was all cooked in horrible oil, not a nice colour at all his bread was stale with no butter, never got his pickled onion & the fish cake was actually a fish ball which was far too fishy, I had a large plate curry & my onion bhajis we're black, I asked for some fresh ones to be given black again, I opted for an extra naan bread instead, I was never given my chutney or mint yogurt so had to ask, the tomato pasta for my 2 yr old came with nothing, no tomato sauce, no cheese nothing,no corn either like we asked so had to send back again. My chicken were still hingry aged 11 so I had to give them some of my naan and chips to fill them up.I spoke to the manager who was more than apologetic, and I actually felt sorry for him as a manager,she said they were under staffed, spoke to a waitress and she said she was from another hingey horse as they were understaffed.It wasn't those I had an issue with they were more than happy to help, but the kitchen staff clearly need to get things straight. I cannot believe they think paying customers should be eating such rubbish.Onto desert's, well they were nice apart from cardboard in the chocolate brownie but I wasn't going to complain about that. Will I go back, no chance. SorryAttached is a pic of my bhaji

Really wish we had read the reviews before we came. Had to ask for a new glass as was all brown and scummy around the edge.Ordered 5 meals and 2 sides 5 of these contained the most disgusting looking bacon I have ever seen it was literally grey. The carrot sticks for the child’s meal were white and dry, when asked for these to replace I got an ‘i’ll Try’The chicken and burgers were over cooked and we actually took the meat home to cut up for the dogs. The jacket potatoes were dry and the “fizzy” drinks we’re all flat. The garlic bread was forgotten and when it came out it was burnt.

Really wish we hadn't gone there. Bar staff rude didn't know what drinks were we ordered. Starters were ok but the mains were rubbish cold and dried up. Waitress was rude. Argument going off in kitchen could be heard all over pub. We were put in front of window full in sun asked to be moved as pub emptied but was rudely spoken by a red haired waitress. Hello paying customers pay your wages respect goes a long way. Complained when we paid got £30 of bill should have had 5 meals refunded bar staff couldn't count. An experience never to be had again. Thank you for ruining my dad's birthday meal. RUDE STAFF LOSE CUSTOMER

Well where do I start. The hungry horse is an absolute waste of my hard earned money. My friend reccomended this place to me as I am on a budget so didn’t want to spend much more than £10. We travelled 50 miles expecting high quality meals which we did NOT recieve. Served by a rude teenage boy who rolled his eyes at me... a PAYING CUSTOMER. While waiting for our food another couple were heard complaining about their food, claming their chicken was cold and almost raw, with even his salad being microwaved. Do not come here if you are expecting a clean and quiet environment as there were too many flies to count and screaming children everywhere. Two of us ordered the horseradish and beef wrap which came with no horseradish and was only Luke warm. One of us ordered from the ‘mix it up’ option, expecting chicken to arrive. I can confirm what arrived on her plate was NOT chicken, but however more resembled a school rubber. We’re still sure whether it was in fact safe for humans to consume. We will not be reterning. #notimpressed

A standard road-house type of pub. Decor looks a bit tired but there is plenty of space to find a quiet corner (away from the telly).Food portions are OK and the service is good. The quality of food is what could be expected from this type of establishment.Not a "destination" pub, but a good local.

not a cosy restaurant, more family orientated but lively, clean, good food at a good price. sizzling steaks were excellent, i've had far worse at twice the price, service was good even though it was busy, decor modern and fresh, only downside was desserts all very chocolatey, i would have liked to have seen something like a lemon tart on there

Just stopped in for coffee & snack but decided just to stick with coffee. Cappuccino straight out of a machine, I've had worse, wasn't asked which size just handed the biggest!Table, bar and floor incredibly sticky, didn't feel very clean - same goes for the ladies loo. Didn't fancy eating there.

Ok food dirty surroundings could do with a good deep clean and be more consistent with serving sizes

Me and my partner went to the restaurant twice on 5th May for supper and 6th May for breakfast. The food was delicious and quite hearty, typical English breakfast also tasted, prices not very high, I recommend this place.

I’ve been to the Henry IV multiple times for drinks/food etc. And the food has always been cooked brilliantly! Never had wrong orders or sub-par meals and I’d happily come here everyday if I could! The staff is always welcoming, especially - chap called George who is always in a good mood. I Highly recommend this establishment.

We’ve visited here before and never had a issue. However went to order a curry and they didn’t have any curry, so changed my order to a steak sizzler. When it arrived the peppercorn sauce was stone cold and even a little bit still frozen. So asked to send it back. Waitress said “what would you like me todo?” Bring me another plate of food which was hot! So I waited 13 mins for another to arrive which I couldn’t fault. Had the Easter Mania for dessert which was okay could of had more small Easter eggs in and more chocolate sauce. But okay for the price paid.

Went with friends. The tables were dirty. Ordered food. When food arrived it was Luke warm and tasteless. The cutlery was dirty, bits of food left on, we asked for clean cutlery and were given wet cutlery. Wouldn’t go back if it was free!

Went in for a couple of drinks and ended up staying longer. The disco was great and the atmosphere really good. Lucy behind the bar made us feel really welcome. Will go again.

I had lunch with my elderly parents today. My father enjoyed his sausage but my fish pie filling wasn’t nice and some of the fish didn’t taste fresh, the mash topping was nice but the filling was a poor attempt at what can be a lovely tasty dish. My mum had the beer battered fish and chips. The beer batter was overpowering to the fish and tasted like the oil was old. I tried some of my mums and agreed with her. It’s two years since I have eaten here and it was a disappointment.

If you want to eat awful and not healthy than best you camp in. Food is cold, staff are rude and faces like they don't wanna be there. Short woman was very rude and you could hear them shouting out the back. Some man who appeared to be friends with them messing around outside. This isn't what i like to see when eating out. HUGE let down girls. They need to be more polite and have a better manner and not shout so much!!!

Stayed overnight, dinner was good, breakfast was atrocious! Over cooked bacon, sausages, hash browns and eggs, whether, poached or fried were hard and burnt. The toast was beyond crispy, frightened to eat the crusts in case we broke our teeth. The room was nice, Myrtle, needs a long mirror on the blank wall near the plug points. Staff friendly and accommodating at dinner.
