In2Blu in North Norfolk - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Sadly food was awful. Took our father in law for his 60th and the food was very poor. Steak pie was like rubber, pizzas smothered in cheese like rubber as cold when served. The sea bass was served with what I can only describe as a potato hockey puck. As a table of ten we had to preorder and they brought the courses out one after the other with no time in between. Luckily it was so bad it was laughable so we had fun. Just was waiting for basil fawlty to walk in.

We had dinner here a few times while staying nearby on holiday. It is the restaurant in The Links Hotel. Really nice food and efficient staff. Recommended.

I enjoyed a delicious meal,I had the vegan starter ( falafel) and it has dispelled the myth that vegan food is bland - it was absolutely delicious and full of flavour The cost for two with an alcoholic drink each was really reasonable Friendly staff , nice restaurant, delicious food- i will definitely return

併設のホテルに宿泊しました。昼にクローマーでシーフードプラッターを食べましたが、折角なのでまたシーフードを食べようと思ったら、蟹はメニューに無くムール貝とフリッツが有ったのでそれにしました。ムール貝はイギリスでは珍しくベルギーと同様の大きな鍋で供されました。芋もベルギー式のカリッとしたやつでした。ワイン2杯飲んで£29とかなりリーズナブルでした。料理の提供も約１０分と適切、ウェイトレスの気配りも凄く良くお勧めです。

Located in The Links Hotel, the restaurant is pleasant and light. The extensive menu offers the usual fare with good friendly table service.

We had a very enjoyable evening meal in the Link's hotel In2Blu restaurant, this is an attractive venue, well decorated in a modern style. There was a good range of dishes on the menu at reasonable prices. Our meals were well cooked, well presented and were delicious. The staff were excellent - very friendly and efficient. Overall, a very positive experience.

The £6.95 starter soup was tiny, didn’t come with any bread. Carrots was cut in rather large pieces and not peeled. The broccoli came with sea bass were over done and slightly yellowish colour. Best thing was the kids meal came with 3 sausages, with gravy and a free soft ice cream, for under 16, from a little parlour machine to choose your own toppings.

waiting over an hour for food un trained staff no focus on customer needs things got no better with management involvement

Music a bit too loud for us, after a while it felt too loud for the age of the customers in the restaurant. Staff polite, attentive and helpful, tables reasonably distanced. Food was served hot and was very tasty I can recommend the pork belly. Prices started at about £12 for a main course and seemed reasonable for a restaurant in a hotel of this class.

We booked here because we wanted cocktails. The barmaid gave us a Valentine’s Day menu!!! The barman asked us where we got the menu from? We couldn’t have any cocktails because the cocktail menu was out of date and they were too busy to make any. He said he didn’t normally work in the bar. We wanted cocktails. My sister ordered some drinks and wanted to pay cash. The bill was £11 plus. The barmaid asked could she pay by card as she didn’t have any £10 notes for change. !!! Wtf. Please get some experienced staff that can count and know what they’re doing. The food was average.

We used to be regular and frequent Customers at The Links until it ran into its "management" problems 4-5 years ago - and have only just started returning. The food - as it always was - was of a high standard with good standards of service.......at least at the kitchen and waiter / waitresss level. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for the "management" - our bill, when presented, for food was £0.00, for drinks £0.00, total £0.00 and when this was pointed out the "restaurant manager" became involved - and he was surly, dismissive, unapologetic and didn't seem to "want to know". Clearly his younger and more junior staff could teach him a great deal in how to deal with and treat "his" Customers. Clearly Sadly, The Links still has some way to go to fully restore itself to its former glory

Had a really good inexpensive meal here on Friday night. The £20 menu was great and also a la carte . All food was hot and cooked very well. The staff were well trained and provided a high standard of service. It's a modern restaurant and my only criticism would be it was a bit bright.

We were staying at the hotel here for 2 nights and on the first ate here. Service was good, drinks from the bar were delivered to our table with no delays. Food was pretty much what you'd expect from any hotel eatery, I had the prawn cocktail which was tasty enough and then the rump steak with fries and accompanying side of salad. The steak was OK but I felt was a bit lacking in flavour. Overall we ate here for the convenience of it rather than the value or what was on offer on the menu. The eatery is also a bit lacking in atmosphere, it was fairly busy but we seemed to be surrounded by old people who were there for the golf batting course. Would perhaps give the adjacent sports bar type eatery on the golf course a go next time.

We arrived on a Friday night without a booking and were greeted by a very attentive member of staff, Jack. His badge said Trainee and he was clearly new to the job but despite this did an excellent job of making us feel welcomed. The restaurant was busy and some other diners were rude but he remained calm and polite. Fixed price menu (3 courses for £20) was good value.

We had not booked but no issue at all - The children quickly occupied with question/colouring sheets - great childrens menu and an excellent choice of starters and main courses for the parents. Service brilliant, prices fine and the Chocolate factory a dream for the children and grown ups -- 10/10 all round.

After its problems of recent years we have avoided The Links until recently - but we had a very good mid-week lunch recently and felt comfortable returning for a Sunday lunch - and are delighted that standards have been reinstated and so we are likely to now return as regular customers

Great Chef and staff and the food was excellent and great value. The set menus were fine and we ate twice in the restaurant. Definitely recommend.

Lovely meals, attentive staff and reasonable cost. Very nice dining area with good choice of well spaced tables. Excellent dinner menu and view into the kitchen always a good sign!

Food very slow arriving and tasteless when it finally did arrive . We waited nearly an hour between starters and mains and staff did not apologise for this and in fact avoided eye contact with us . Saw diner sending food back and another diner complaining while we were there so we weren't the only unfortunate ones . A shame because this is a pretty and elegant restaurant which deserves food to match

Very good. Really enjoyed the food, visited twice in one week, going to be a regular visit for sure..

Honestly no complaints, new refurb is a big improvement well done to the owners and management. Chef is quality, good value, what more do you need. £20 pound fixed menu for three courses if you are on a budget.

Food was nice and portions ok. Presentation of the food was ok. We had to wait a while to get seated. Value for money but tasted a bit better than average.

I took a friend for lunch on the Saturday before Christmas and was disappointed that there wasn't a seasonal menu or a roast available. In fact there wasn't a lot of choice, we had fish and chips which were tasty but overpriced. We would recommend the desserts though, we had panettone bread and butter pudding which was delicious just ridiculously expensive.

Attractive menu with quality of food to match. Great choice of wines to compliment the main courses. The desserts were well presented and fun to eat;- well done to the chef and the team.

Se abre en 1830 para la cena, pero ten cuidado con los viajes en autobús que estancia en el hotel y cenar en masa a 1.900. Servicio de moltura 31,17 mientras que el viaje en autobús se diners.

Siempre me tome mis amigos y familia para comer el domingo. Era el lugar favorito de mi marido tarde mientras estábamos visitando el área.

Este es un restaurante de hotel, y la comida era muy agradable. Teníamos los dos platos de cangrejo, un solomillo con pescado y patatas fritas. Toda la comida era muy buena y los postres eran ganadores para nuestros niños. El ambiente es típico de un hotel y el personal fue muy amable.

Mi familia acaba de venir de un viaje. Visitamos los enlaces siguientes para nadar con una visita a su restaurante en 2 Blu. La comida era estupenda, tanto mi esposa y yo tuvimos el jamón y paté de pea, que era preciosa. El asador más fantásticas - cordero y ternera maravilloso - mis hijas de 7 y 9 disfrutamos el menú infantil con diversión Helados - una excelente experiencia familiar

Superó todas nuestras expectativas.

Tenía un par de comidas de la noche aquí, durante su estancia en el hotel los enlaces. Arranque de paté en la primera noche estaba sabrosa pero pollo plato principal era insípida y sin sabor. Tarta de Pera con pizcas de flan flan era agradable, pero era poner en un plato frío, haciendo que la crema pastelera fría! La segunda noche la sopa de verduras. Esto fue tan especiado y que ni yo ni mi marido ni pude terminar. Campo de carne del menú principal de tdh era hermosa, así como el pescado y patatas fritas. Guisantes blandos eran para morirse! Posset era preciosa.

Lovely food of restaurant quality, well presented. Nice ambiance, friendly staff and reasonably priced.

Good choice at breakfast, and dinner although not a huge choice was very good, and the staff where very good.

We were recommended to dine here by our B&B owners and a nice find it was. Came here twice and used the set £20 menu each time. First time the service was a bit slow, but there was a coach party or two and we were in no hurry so it went very well. Food was nicely presented, table service attentive without being too much and drink prices seem OK. The second time it was a lot quieter, same staff and another pleasant meal. Would both return and recommend

This is an amazing place to eat. Food amazing and service to match. Could not ask for more attentive service or friendly atmosphere

Visited just for a meal (not staying in hotel). On arrival, nobody greeted us, there was only one waitress around who was busy with other customers so we took a seat on sofas, only to be consequently ignored by other passing staff. Even when said waitress had finished with customers there was no "I will be with you in a moment" . In the end I got up and said to her we have booked a table and I could see she was busy so we happened to find two menus which we took to the sofas to read. Eventually someone took our order and shortly after we were shown to our table in a nice dining room. Food was pretty quick to come although other customers were getting bread rolls and the laid tables all had side plates but I had to ask to get any (I was later told it was common practice to only give rolls if you have starters which we weren't) anyway they happily gave us some. Food arrived, both had cod and chips. Was nice but by no means the best or biggest piece of cod I've ever had. Nobody ever came to check if our food was OK which is a big annoyance of mine, and should really happen in this type of a la carte restaurant. Waitress cleared plates but asked if we had all finished after picking up plate!!! Ordering desserts was a bit of an ordeal. Same waitress gave us menus but a long time later a young tall man came over and asked if we were ready to order and said he would get a manager to take our order??! Then a few minutes later, he returned to take it anyway!! After he took order he returned to tell me the desserts would be a few minutes which I thought odd!, not usual practice in a restaurant!! Dessert arrived and I had specifically asked for my brownie to be hot rather than just warm, and you guessed it, it was cold. Managed to grab someones attention to get it changed, then another lady called Sophie came to our table, I believe she was a manager. She was very helpful and friendly and apologised and bought me out a fresh hot one which was lovely. We went and paid Sophie at the bar and explained the problems with the service and hope that she has a word! Food was OK, I would probably return on the hope the service improves.. Maybe the staff we encountered were new?

Why give it a fancy name ? its just the dining room of the Links Hotel serving bland, dated and totally uninspiring food. One to be missed

We stayed at the Hotel and used this restaurant ,the food and service was superb,a lovely atmosphere with very attentive staff

We had dinner and breakfast. The service was attentive friendly and efficient. Food at dinner was good. Competent rather than inspired. Six of us ate and I think we all enjoyed what we had. We certainly went to bed feeling full! Breakfast was part buffet, part served and again was very competent. No-one had any complaints, and included with an overnight stay it was superb value.

Had a lovely meal here. Chef was very accommodating and offered a range of vegetarian meals in addition to what was listed on the menu.

12 of us descended on The Links hotel for Sunday - staff brilliant food great price reasonable - Roast Beef to die for - great meal thank you

The food is OK but there were no highlights during our stay. It wasn't the sort of place where you get really excited as to what you may find on the menu. The soup was under-seasoned and the main courses OK. Lamb was a bit leathery and got a bit browned off with mash. No crispy skin on the fish- don't enter 'Masterchef' chef!! The coconut and treacle pudding was like school dinner but worse. It was a cut slab of cake, dense in texture and flavourless. Where did they find such an awful recipe? And why on earth would they serve it? Service was good and the staff very pleasant. Breakfast was interesting. Cold buffet consisted of tinned grapefruit, cereal, tinned prunes, yoghurt and a bowl of chunks of apple. No way was this anything else as I searched for other fruit amongst the apples. English breakfast OK but food piled high and kept hot for a long time at the buffet station.

Food was average fair choice, but too rushed.Three courses and coffee in one hour.Pick a night without a function may be beneficial

The food was reasonable, my wife had a good main course, the starter was ok, but the belly pork, although tasty had a soft skin whereas it should have had a crackling top.

The venue is an attractive hotel with restaurant. We were not staying at the hotel but just dining in the restaurant. Booking a table was easy and we booked earlier in the day with the hotel reception. When we arrived we were welcomed into the bar area for drinks. This was pleasant and comfortable and we sat on cosy sofas.We were dining as a family which included our 11 and 15 year old daughters.We all ordered the carvery:Sunday Roast. We were served drinks and desert at the table. Our main course was served at the carvery area. Sadly this main were where our expectations were not met. The meat was cut very thinly and although we were able when we requested to have two meats. I had pork and beef. All our meat portions were very small. The parsnips, potatoes and veg was help yourself. Due to the mega meat portion we filled up on this. The veg was very standard and was cooked soft. The gravy wasn't particularly hot.The deserts were better but we felt as a family they weren't worth the money.Unfortunatly I can't rate this experience very highly. Having eating a roast nearby the following Sunday to a much better standard I feel that the meal did not live up to the venue.

Last Sunday we visited The Links In2Blu, my 6 and 7 year olds my wife and myself. Excellent welcome swift service - drinks, menus and crayons - Really well throughout children's options - 15 mins later seated and within 5 tucking into the great Liver Parfait and Smoked Salmon the children garlic bread - Roast Beef and Lamb magical - interesting vegetables - The children's sweets are fun and ours good. Overall performance - very well presented, well considered and fantastic value for money - well worth booking

I took a friend here for a birthday dinner and we were not disappointed. My friend had the calves liver and although she complained that the carrots with it were a tad on the elderly side, the rest was delicious. I had the tagliatelle which was AMAZINGLY good (and a huge portion, too). As a vegetarian, I am accustomed to veggie 'mains' being soft pap of the risotto variety but the roasted hazelnuts in the tagliatelle gave a crunch to the dish which was amazing. The staff could not have been more helpful, the surroundings were comfortable and top class and we very much enjoyed our evening.

Excellent tood and very helpful staff, well worth a visit, we ate here twice during our stay, and could fault nothing.

Food very good and staff helpful and friendly. Went three days on the trot even though we were not staying there.

Had the Table de Hote menu. Excellent value. Just do not have anything that is not on it. 3 course for £20 great value. Staff attentive but discrete. Birthday dinner so Chef did this for me.

The choice of dishes here is amazing and we were not disappointed. Cromer crab for starters, sea bream and black forest sundae for me and garlic bread, chicken and the chockywoky desert for hubby. Service was superb and good value for money in lovely surroundings. Thank you

As a vegetarian the food was boring & uninspiring. Very disappointed. If you're a meat/fish eater, there is plenty to choose from & my husband enjoyed all his mealsBreakfast was fine...........

We were stopping at the hotel and so used the restaurant.Not sure why somwhere upmarket as this chooses to put the menus on an A3 laminated card, when so much other refined options are available....However looking beyond this all the food we had was nice and fresh and well presented on nice hot plates.The layout of the restaurant is very good, not too crowded, nice furniture, proper napkins, with attentaive staff made for a pleasant evening.Yes would reccommend and would definitely return to eat here again.

food was up with the best, Salmon starter surprise surprise flavours burstBest ever haddockService is great and good wine list

Very relaxed atmosphere. Good food. Staff could not do enough for us. quite a good choice. Buffet style breakfast and hot food served to us by Chef.

From arriving until leaving everything was excellent. Being a Sunday evening the place wasn't crowded, so the ambience was just what we like - peaceful and conducive to conversation. Service was excellent as was the food. We both had fish - haddock and sea bream. It was cooked to perfection and with flare - lovely pea purée. The desserts were scrumptious and my brownie was the best I have ever had. Will be back soon.

This was a nice surprise, normally chain hotels service is not the best, however the waiter service here was excellent, very attentive, the food was very good. Not the best selection for a vegetarian but often this is the case in many places. When my partner ordered an Irish coffee it was actually prepared At the table.We travel the world and spend a lot of time in hotels on business and pleasure and this certainly is in my top 10, and close to home which is a added bonus.The wine is very reasonable at only £5.45 for a large glass.

Whether we were unlucky with our meal I don't know, but what I do know was that it was one of the worst meals we have ever experienced. We called in for Sunday Lunch. Our meal was booked for 2.30pm and we were seated at 3.00pm. The carvery was dreadful, the mashed swede had been sitting there for ages and had formed a skin on the top, the rest of the vegetables were very overcooked. My turkey, if I hadn't been told it was turkey I would have never have guessed. Apart from another family in the restaurant we were the only people in there. No one came to see if we were enjoying our meal until after we had finished. We travelled over 30miles and were looking forward to our meal but sad to say we will not be going there again .

In2Blu seems a silly name and one that doesn't fit the contemporary dining style in this - very smart - hotel setting. However, that doesn't detract from the dining which was marvelous from start to finish. We went over, from Cromer, to look at the restaurant and booked at the time for a Friday evening. As it turned out there was only one other couple dining when we got there and later a group of three and, in the next room, a large family group so space was not an issue. We chose from a set price menu at £20 for three courses. We were able to use our Gourmet card so got a two-for-one deal. The food was delicious and the service excellent. A special mention to the manager,Gemma ( Jemma ? ) for making us so welcome. This was a real treat and, I would say, well worth seeking out.

Booked a family meal. We were a little fearful as the restaurant is located in a very posh Hotel. Our fears were unfounded as the staff were very welcoming and the service was excellent. The meals were good. Can thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

The best Sunday lunch in the area! Restuarant service, good quality meats, a great selection of veg and reasonable price. We have sampled many of the local Sunday lunches but now go nowhere else! Great for families or couples!

A group of us stayed at The Links Country Park Hotel West Runton Norfolk, for a golf trip. We all ate in the In2Blu restaurant, great food and excellent service. Although we being a group of 18 were selecting from a set menu, we were all really impressed with the quality of produce and cooking. Roast beef, cod loin Garlic mushrooms a great selection of food in the evening, all cooked to the highest standard. Additionally reasonably priced wines, everything served with a smile by local Norfolk staff, how refreshing is that. Also the breakfasts were terrific. There is an a la carte menu for normal room guests.
