Jenyns Arms Restaurant in King's Lynn and West Norfolk - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

I live in S. Wales but travel to the Kings Lynn area to stay with family once or twice a year. I like this pub very much because of it's lovely location, smart interior and a good choice of ale's. However I notice in some reviews people complain about the surliness of the landlord and landlady, well funny thing but I found this to be the case as well, a right pair of misery guts they are, but I do not care about this in the slightest degree as long as they do not have a go at me directly. So we will continue to leave our women in Downham to shop and call in for a few pint's. Oh I'm 74 now so I can get a bit crotchety myself... x

Great food every time. Good service. Puddings are delicious! Its an old english pub with lots of character and the food is always really tasty and homely. I wish there were more places like this. The negative comments about this place are totally unnecessary and insulting! If you have a gripe, do it in person! I like the Landlady, straightforward, no messing and runs a really good team. Tonight’s steak was the best and definitely filled a gap! Thanks again!

What a fantastic place. Great value friendly atmosphere and staff are awesome nothing was too much . Great for families young and older romantic couples or group of friends. Take a lovely stroll along river afterwards, cannot recommend this place enough

even though there is a children’s menu, they had no high chairs so my son had to sit on my lap the whole time...

Jenyns is a lovely pub - even though it's really out of the way, it's very well patronised. It's worth taking a bit of time out to explore Denver Sluice while you're there. Good, friendly service, meals arrived quite quickly. But a word of warning! The portion sizes are immense. The plate was piled so high, it was almost intimidating, I had been eating for ten minutes before I found the meat, buried under a huge pile of potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and other veg, Can't complain at the value for money, though. Just make sure you're really hungry!

Quite frankly I am astounded that this place has got it's fair share of negative reviews, it's only now after eating here I can see why.... your customer base! Came here for my birthday lunch on friday with my mum, I thought it was such a quaint beautiful little place with the option to sit out alongside the river if you should choose to do so, we sat in doors, it was fish friday... I had the Salmon with Hollandaise sauce and my mum had the Fish and chips, it was absolutely delicious, both had a bread basket included and all for £10.90 each, I daresay there is nowhere else around here that would match your value for money or freshness. Now back to my first point.... whether it was just a bad day or not, we couldnt BELIEVE they way some of shall we say your customers of the older generation? Were speaking and demanding toward the staff, just pure plain pig ignorance, I work in hospitality and if I had customers like those we witnessed that day on the regular talking to me like that I daresay I'd have been sacked years ago! All of the staff here were lovely, helpful and welcoming. We cant wait to return for lunch here again, keep doing what you're doing :) 💕

This is in a beautiful spot on the River Great Ouse at the Denver Sluice Gates. We called in for an evening meal on the way back to our hotel after visiting relatives in the area. We had not booked but were fortunate in that we arrived just before 6.0pm when they were opening for the evening and secured a good table. It became busy soon after we had ordered our food, The main thing about the meals, which tend to be quite traditional pub fare, was the size of the portions. We watched as huge fish with chips and half a chicken were served to other diners. I had chilli con carne and my wife a filled jacket potato which were largely manageable. The food was well cooked and the service was excellent.

Beautiful spot down on the river and if you’re happy for closing time to be 8.30pm and be spoken to in a rude manner by who I assumed to be the landlord then this is the place for you. I certainly won’t be going again which is a shame as it use to be such a vibrant place to go.

Rang ahead as advised for allergy. All sauces have gluten in them I was informed the choices is plain fish or jacket potato or salad. Asked if they could try to make more options as not many and was told if the choices was not to my liking they couldn’t do anything about that. And if they catered for gluten free they would have to cater for vegans etc. Your business, your choice, my custom going else where.

not been for many years. a lovely setting. the food was disappointing as meat appeared to be processed. would have prefered to have paid more for better quality. staff were friendly and service was fine just a little disappointing

Travelled by boat and decided that we would have a evening meal. Specials board was very good. The steak and ale pie was very good as was the prawn salad. We were going to move off the following day and go to a different mooring but decided to stay so had another meal the next day which was equally as good.

We called in on our way to King's lynn as it was a lovely evening. Decided to have the braised lamb & were not disapointed, as the meat was tender, all cooked well & the mint gravy delicious. Pub was quiet but it turns out the bridge had been closed for a long period & trade had suffered. Let's hope people discover this friendly pub again.

The Jenyns Arms is situated at Denver Sluice and has a very good riverside position. With such a location, and with it's outside terracing and seating, I thought it would be busy - if it were on e.g. the Thames I'm sure it would be busy all day - but the sluice is off the main track a little with little passing trade and there wasn't much activity on the river so that's not the case. My wife and I went there first of all during the afternoon to find it closed; it closes between 3 and 6 pm. We returned as part of a group of about 30 for an evening meal (a midweek roast) and the food was quite acceptable; nothing to go overboard about but, for the price, was ok and it was all served hot. Where it stood out for me was in it's choice of desserts: there was quite a few I could have chosen which is quite unusual as I'm a bit of a traditionalist where desserts are concerned. There was bread and butter pudding, treacle tart, apple pie, jelly, and others all on display. I chose the bread and butter pudding and it was good. I heard no complaints from anyone else either. Overall I'd rate it somewhere better than an average 3 but below a very good 4.

Of the beaten track but what a find ! This pub has fantastic views. The staff are very helpful The food was good pub grub done exceptionally well We will definitely recommend to friends and will return.

My wife and I along with two friends visited the Jenyns Arms whilst we were on the river. This is a very good pub with typical pub food but very nice it is. The portions are generous and the atmosphere and ale are very nice. When we go on the boat we always head for this public house as we know we'll enjoy the food. Well worth a visit if you are on the river or not.

Took my uncle for lunch he had the steak and ale pie which was huge!I had scampi!Both meals were lovely!😎

Very nice pub. In the middle of nowhere. Beautiful setting. Clean. Helpful and efficient staff. Welcoming pub. Accommodation is very reasonable, warm, clean and spacious. A hidden gem!

Eight of us visited last evening for a celebration, it has been a while since my husband and myself have visited the Jenyns the food was wonderful , staff friendly and obliging does not deserve the bad reviews

This pub is full of character, the staff are friendly and the food is good. There is always plenty of choice and the homemade specials are always excellent. It is a busy place at lunchtime and in the summer there are plenty of tables outside overlooking the river as do the tables in the conservatory. We visit regularly and are never disappointed - well worth a visit if you are in the area. If you are really hungry the delicious steak pies with fried potatoes and veg are a good option.

Having read the reviews i was very skeptical but as a relative had booked as she liked it, we tagged along. Food was ok and the staff couldn't be more helpful. Certainly the 3 staff were rushed off their feet and i would estimate they needed a further 2 people to keep up with demand. The bill was not too bad either. I wouldn't rush back for the food alone but the location was good, so who knows.....

I whitnessed the landlady drop food on the floor pick it up and put it on the plate AND STILL SERVE IT 🤢 Most food is microwaved and very rude owners to both customers and staff!! AVOID AVOID AVOID

Visited this pub on Saturday with our small well behaved dog which we have done before and sat in the conservatory but on arrival the conservatory was closed off and no heating, when enquiring about the dog we got a very rude welcome and was forced to sit in the back corner of the pub like naughty school children, it was freezing in this area. We decided to leave after one drink and not order food as originally planned due to the rudeness of the landlady (we believe she was), there is no need to speak and disagree with people and customers like she did. Very much put us off visiting the pub. We were very disappointed, due to the location and boaters the pub needs to become much more dog friendly to well behaved dogs.

It seems such a shame that this beautiful pub and it’s amazing setting is so poorly let down by it’s nasty microwaved food and rude staff. Ordered the ribs which tasted microwaved! Over priced, and over heard the landlady being very rude to another customer. Avoid!!!

We took my uncle for the christmas meal at lunch time!Food came out piping hot!We all had the turkey it was delicious!Service was excellent!We have booked again for the 23rd!Ho Ho Ho!🎅☺

Had a lovely meal today with my uncle!Good food and good service!Never had a bad meal yet!We booked up for the christmas meal which starts 1st december!😊

Service and food very hit and miss One day can be really good another day food awful and service abrupt to point of rudeness Shame when the location so lovely

I had steak this was served hot and cooked as I like it, my wife had gammon with jacket potato. The staff where friendly and overall we had a very nice. Evening.

Part of our Old England Eating by the river is great experience The food is great value for money.The sticky ribs fall off the bone .

The food was quite obviously microwaved, the chips were not even as good as weatherspoons (Which I have struggled to eat in the past) and the drinks are overpriced. It's a great setting but it's not great when the landlady sellotapes a sticker to your car telling you to move it out of the car park, even though they don't own it. The environment agency do! I discourage any boater or member of the public from going here.

Poor reviews and service. Nothing of the kind GREAT food matched by service have already visited again and will return can't wait.

The bar and restaurant areas are very large with a lovely garden overlooking the river and Denver Sluice complex, very nice watching all manner of boats coming and going as you enjoy your drink or meal.

Met some friends at the Jenyns for lunch as it only served food till 7.oo pm on Bank Holidays we all had a different main meal they all came at the same time which was good all cook as expected hot and tasty no complaints its pub grub and plenty of it worth a try.

Visited the Jenyns Arms for dinner yesterday after an afternoon boating with friends on the Great Ouse.

Came here tonight with my partner, mother in law and her partner. I had a lasagne and chips which came in a big portion and my partner had the sirloin steak which was huge. Very tasty, nice atmosphere and food came quick and hot. I love the outside views too. Only suggestion would be the decor/menus/interior definitely need an update!

Had never been to this pub before but decided to go for a meal

Arrived at 8.15pm, after checking website and seeing food was served til 9pm.

Been to the Jenyns on and off for 30 plus yrs now, the food is always great, you get what you get and it is what it is no frills experience in fact I don't think the menu has changed for at least 30 yrs so you know it works and its a safe bet.

This pub was recommended by our hotelier and didn’t disappoint. Set in a lovely location next to the water, the service was very good, food was reasonable priced, lovely and plenty of it. Will definitely visit again when we are back in Norfolk.

Don't complain about your food here you'll get it taken away bill cancelled and be told to leave, disgraceful treatment. Definitely a quantity over quality establishment.

The food was very good, a bit more pricey but freshly cooked. all the staff were very young and polite too, which is nice, Not too pushy ,the portions were great, I fancied the haddock, that was very fresh and tasty, you only got chips with it though, no peas, my friend had scampi, enormous portion, my grandson had the Chilli, he was not impressed, as was very sloppy. it really needed the red wine to be reduced in cooking, as it was overpowering with the beef flavour, Not enough spice. my son and husband had vegetarian curry. they both agreed, it needed more vegetables and not pineapple, maybe cauliflower and potatoes. All was very hot and fresh.A lovely setting too.

Let me start by saying the food is good and view of the river is very nice. The staff are generally young, polite and hard working. There was an issue with one of the brollys on a table outside which a young lady attempted to fix by standing on the table under the watchful eye of a lady in her mid thirties which all was fine by me except the table wasn't disinfected or washed afterwards! (Just saying). This however does not put me off from going again and the place is well worth a visit!

Sunny Sunday afternoon - took my mum for something to eat and a drink by the river in the sun. We both chose the 4 cheese quiche with chips and coleslaw from the specials board. Mum doesn't like coleslaw so ordered without but when the meal arrived, she asked one of the waitresses if she could have a tomato instead. No problem, they cut up the biggest tomato I think we have seen and brought this out to her with a smile. The coleslaw tasted homemade and the quiche was definitely homemade and so delicious. While we were waiting, the bar staff chatted to mum as she was looking around at all the old items they have hanging up around the bar area. The food arrived quite quickly and disappeared quite quickly too! We then took our drinks and spent another half hour or so sitting by the river watching the fish swim around, the swans with their cygnets and the boats passing by. Very relaxing and peaceful. The staff were all very friendly and couldn't do enough to please, highly recommended.

It looks like it lacks care, the young staff were friendly , but the old grey haired lady who appeared in charge when I was there was very abrupt, and lacks social skills. She appeared to be drinking and holding court with her friends, and off duty staff.

Had a wake for my mum at this pub as it was her favourite!They catered for 100 people and everything was excellent!Every one told me how good the food was i couldnt fault anything!Thank you to all the staff especially as it was on a friday one of their busiest days!

Well, what a beautiful setting this pub is in right on the river bank, Wildlife in abundance. Myself and partner entered the Jenny’s, and were greeted with a smile and very helpful bar man. We ordered some drinks and food which we both enjoyed sitting on a table by the river.

Been here in July 2017 for a lunch with family. Service was good, food came out quick enough and still hot as you would like. Food was delicious as we expected, prices don't bite. The best thing here though is the view! We were sitting outside and the view was really nice. I think it adds more taste to the food :) Recommend to get her for a casual eat out on a nice day.

A last minute decision to visit this place, although I'd rather have taken a flask of coffee and sat in a cemetery.

Wonderful location overlooking Denver Sluice with ample parking opposite and outside seating by the River Great Ouse.

We only started coming here relatively recently as it makes a nice lunch destination at the end of a cruise on our boat. We’ve had Sunday lunch here on 3 occasions and the food has been lovely - plenty of it, piping hot and extremely tasty. The pub has a lot of character and charm. The only thing I would change is the puddings on display in the chiller cabinet. They always look a little jaded and sad especially when they get down to the last few slices.

Went in for Sunday dinner. Food and cheeky pint was good. I had a small pork dinner that was more than enough because was still a big portion. Quick and friendly service. Love that this is an old building with all the wooden beams. definitley think the table mats need updating though, think my gran had them many years ago lol. Will defo be returning for Sunday dinner again :)

We drove out to Denver to visit the suice complex, and a walk along the river. In need of a dink after this we decided to call in for a pint and lunch. Found the staff to be friendly and helpful. Our only complaint would be how long it took for the food to arrive, however it was a very hot and sunny bank holiday and reasonably busy. The food was plentiful but average, we would visit again if in the area.

Three of us dined at Jenyns Arms. The steaks were cooked to perfection and the home made steak and ale pie was delicious. The waitress could not have been more polite or helpful. The food was served in a reasonable time. The setting is beautiful. Very good value for money.

A well cooked and presented meal in lovely riverside surroundings.

Visited recently for a birthday celebration. Excellent range of beers. Top quality food, excellent portions. Desserts were unbelievable, with an incredible choice. Service prompt and cheerful. Sat in the conservatory overlooking the river near the sailing club.

Telly good family meal, the service was good, we were not rushed. We were slightly squeezed into a small space and my dessert was cold, but was still yummy and a really good night, would definitely go back.

The cutlery was dirty and pretty foul. The glasses smelled like dirty water and the food was pretty poor. I wish we hadn't bothered if I'm honest.

Excellent service and top food and drink from here - thank you! Made our night out very special. All areas we're very clean and staff very attentive

We had family visiting so we thought a trip to Jenyns Arms would be a good idea. Passed a few signs as we got closer saying that it was only open on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday. No problem, it was a Saturday lunchtime. Arrived to find the place closed. Even the sign on the door said it was open. Wasted journey.

A very disappointing meal out. Having previously visited here several times before and found a good atmosphere and lovely meals we booked a table. The place was empty, food was limited with only one portion of several dishes. Enquiring about dietary requirements we were misled to find a member of our party ended up with a meal they couldn't eat! No help to solve this issue only told a different meal would have had to paid for on top. Original meal taken away. No offer of desserts at end of meal and long time taken to clear table. We will not be returning or recommending this establishment. An empty restaurant on the Thursday before Christmas should have given us a clue. You should not have to cook a meal after going out to eat. Food we did have was expensive for what it was.

Lived in Norfolk for many years but never visited this place. Big mistake! Staff very friendly, pub lovely and welcoming with plenty of seating. Good menu which promised that everything is freshly prepared. Large serving of tasty food. This pub is right on the river which just adds to its charm. Will definitely visit again.

Ate here two days running, staff lovely and a warm welcoming atmosphere.

Staff bent over backwards to serve just under 30 people for a family wake. Food all came out together and was piping hot. Would highly r eccommend.

Well worth seeking this out. It was early for lunch so we managed to get a table in the conservatory area, which overlooks the river. The day was a bit wet and windy, but had it been warmer the garden looks inviting running down to the waters edge, with plenty of tables, chairs and parasols.

What a disappointment, table been prebooked, waited at the bar quite some quite a time before being seated. All had roast - turkey, pork or beef waited quite a time for the lunch to arrive, but that was'nt a problem.Menu stated ROAST POTATOES, our potatoes had not seen an oven or if so straight in and out, not a bit brown on them just dry skins which were tough, when plates were collected (nearly all potatoes left on plates) remarks to waitress, dinner was quite nice but potatoes had spoilt the lunch,on her return to collect remaining plates, she said they had not had any other complaints ( surely the potatoes returned to the kitchen said it all ) I was very disappointed as I have had several meals at this pub over the years. But never a Sunday Lunch

This place is right on the river with lovely views from the outdoor terrace and so peaceful. Will definitely go...

Some (but not much) of the food was good and generous portions but chips dry and inedible, desert was awful, apart from the nice prawn curry and some chicken breast the majority of the food was at best less than average. We felt that we were being rushed to Order. The serving girl though was pleasant and polite. Probably won't go again.

Su estancia en un alojamiento en las cercanías de Runcton Holme. Mi esposa y yo y otra pareja decidimos buscar este pub para una comida. El año pasado fuimos pasando con mis nietos. El clima era agradable y nos sentamos junto al río. Luego comimos dentro de la muy agradable para un asado los domingos.

Yo había estado aquí un par de veces, pero después alejando no había sido por 5 años. En el fin de semana que estaba en la zona y decidimos volver.

Sunday Lunch.. Staff were great, and it was amazing how quick the food came out. I had Turkey Roast, which was really nice.. My only recommendation is to give the Gravy separate to the meal so that you can put it on yourself as I am not keen on too much gravy. However, once you know, the next time you would be able to request that so not a major problem. A lovely meal out though, Thankyou.

Its a lovely location and they should provide lovely food to go with it. Unfortunately thats not the case. I went with my partener ans 2 friends I was very dissatisfied with the menu.(very small choice) and overpriced i thought for pub grub. Anyway i had chicken off the special board. It was ok. Bit dry. But im not 1 for complaining. No one even came over to check if the food was ok. My friend had a steak, she didnt get her mushrooms or tomatoe just a mountain of peas on the plate and her partner didnt get any peas at all. We did laugh about it. My partner had a pie, he really enjoyed it. Drinks and a packet of crisps for next time i visit.

Like one of your reviews we went a long time ago and food was awful but being told the food had improved we decided to try again and was not disappointed it was really lovely and the staff were really helpful .Nice to sit outside down by thr river when we had finished our meal will definitely be going again .

Staff were miserable. We waited ages to get served. Ordered food. Waited an hour. No food. Complained. Got food quite quickly then. Spoilt our family day out. Didn't really enjoy the food after that.Shame because the location is beautiful.

Extremely poor presentation, items missing from a couple of meals, very average flavours, table sticky from not being cleaned properly, shabby chairs, the whole interior could do with bringing up to date.

last time we visited this pub the meal was awful. however we had been told by many boaters that the food had improved and they were right. the atmosphere was friendly and pleasant, staff were helpful, and the food delicious. it is pub food, it does what it says on the tin, but good. my husband had lasagne and I had scampi both were cooked to perfection

Just got vack from a lazy sunday drive out.stopped off at this lovely pub by the river for drinks.watched the world go by outside by the river on one of the many seating areas with parasols.lovely setting.

It was awful we were left standing for ages, we had pre-booked told to go find seat. Sat for 45 mins and had to ask to be served. Waitress was very sharp. Tables around stacked with dirty dishes, atmosphere was awful. They had run out of puddings, one waitress running with food nearly knocked into people. We wouldn't go again. They need more staff, more organising and better communication with customers. Lovely setting but needs more attention to detail, bad reviews are not good for business.

Ringing to book a table was met by " we are busy " " just turn up and you will have to wait " . This was said in a rude abrupt manner. I can understand I'm not the only one requiring a table I do however expect courtesy and polite phone manners when enquiring. More was said but by the tone and the feeling of my custom not wanted I swiftly ended the call. I feel I have dodged a bullet, if phone manners are in line with their entire customer service I have no doubt my afternoon would of been ruined.

We popped in for lunch today, we both ordered from the specials board. I chose the steak and ale pie and my partner had the rump steak. The portions were huge! Never a bad thing. The pastry on my pie was like concrete, I couldn't get a knife in it. The contents of the pie and the rest was good, but disappointed. The service in the whole was good. The waitress didn't say much about the pie and no discount was offered. The setting is so nice, the place just needs a bit of an over haul and menus need shaking up a bit. It has so much potential, like the pub it used to be years ago

Arrived and ordered door (typical pub grub) and was told there was a 45 min wait. This was fine as it was a nice evening and we sat outside overlooking the river. The lad who took our order was polite and friendly, however another member of staff told the family behind me very bluntly that no changes could be made to the menu when she requested pineapple rather than egg with her meal. Food arrived just under the 45 min wait time, which was good as our small son was getting hungry. Couldn't even placate him with his iPad as the free WiFi was awful.Food Arrived, it was hot, lots of it, basic pub grub and nothing outstanding but OK.Busy pub, great location. Would go back for drinks by the river, but not for food.

Visited Jenyns Arms with our friends when in the area for a well earned break. The setting for this hostelry is beautiful, right on the river bank. The location means they can get very busy but we arrived just before the rush, at one time the wait for food was an hour, which just goes to show how popular the place is. But, it isn't just the location that makes the Jenyns popular, the food the produce is excellent, now I'm a big chap and love my food but I couldn't finish my meal, the portions were large! I had the steak and ale pie, one of us had the chicken burger and the other two had the plaice. No of us could fault the food or the service we had here and would have no qualms about recommending this pub at all!

My husband and I have visited the Jennyns Arms twice this week on Tuesday and Thursday and each time had the most wonderful service by the lovely staff and a great meal . Our favourite pub!

Table booked for Sunday lunch.Long wait to be served ar the bar.Roast dinner was bland.Some roast spuds were hard and none were crisp.Seats worn.View by the river was great.Staff good.Disappointing!

Fantastic scenery perfect for unwinding on a wonderful summer evening, Food was reasonable priced and well cooked and presented.

We went yesterday as part of a large group. Great meal and excellent service; fantastic location by the river, ideal on a summers day.

What a great place to eat! Barges and boats are moored close by and as the sun set we sat in the conservatory taking in the view and enjoying the ambience. Then the food arrived, oh my, I wish we lived closer! My Husband enjoyed a Rib Eye Steak and I had a Seafood Lasagne which was to die for and helpings generous. Go on, treat yourselves at Jenyns.

Went to lunch recently on a cold Monday.The pub was very welcoming with a roaring log fire.It was noticeable that the restaurant and bar area were well looked after and very clean.The typical pub food was plentiful and well presented,in fact the portion sizes were perhaps just too large.We didn't have desserts as we were all full.All in all a good first time visit,and we would certainly return.

Myself and the family always look forward to having a meal here. In good weather this is the perfect place to sit outside overlooking the river or in the conservatory where the view is also amazing.There is always plenty of options available and the specials menu that they have available on a separate board are always divine! The food is always out on good time and it is always big portions and the meals are very reasonably priced! Choices of desserts are to die for and can be hand selected from there desserts cabinet!I always look forward to eating and this restaurant and cannot recommend it enough!

We sat in the window seats overlooking the river with lovely views, but the chairs were old and saggy! We ordered crab lasagne and prawns from the Friday fishy menu but the dish was very hot, straight from the microwave it seemed, and rather bland. I've had scampi and chips here in the past and enjoyed it, but this meal was very average.Shame, as the setting is nice and the staff pleasant.

We arrived for lunch without booking but found tables free. Order was taken fairly quickly and the food came after a short wait of about 15 mins. Excellent meal. Frank has a stilton ploughman's with crusty baguette and plenty of accompaniments. Huge amount of cheese. I had the fish and chips which were well cooked and delicious. Coffee was great too. We chose to sit inside as the weather seemed cold. The Denver sluice complex is well worth a look and a lovely walk along the river soon built an appetite. Watch for the dog on the roof!!! Frightened us to death barking above us!!!

A tranquil waterside setting with outdoor seating in the summer, and interesting little resident characters - two noisy terriers! Order at the bar, and get a plastic box with your cutlery and napkins - very efficient! Salad a little heavy on the red onion.

My wife and I visited on Good Friday at 18.30.We had asked for 19.00 but were told rather coldly it was either 18.30 or 19.30.On entering we went to the bar to order wine for our meal only to be told rather bluntly that wine was only available in 187ml bottles or full bottles and not by the glass.Afterwards on receiving our bill the 187ml bottle had a £4.50 price tag!The food arrived quite quickly,my wife was presented with a steak and ale pie which looked like it had been in the oven from the day before ,the crust defied all attempts to cut it and the beef was dry.I had ordered chicken and mushroom sauce which came with carrots and broccoli which I asked to swap for peas ,this request was bluntly denied being told this is a set menu.All in all not a pleasant experience and certainly not worth another visit.Also I must add that at the time a had asked for my original booking at 19.00 the dining room was nearly empty.Fawlty Towers customer service at it's best!

Lovely position by the waterside. Staff so kind and helpful, food perfect we had the lamb. Looks like a family friendly establishment. hope to come back one day.

My husband and I have been coming here for 3 years now and have never had a bad meal.... Until today. We both had work early this morning and decided to come here as a treat for lunch. It takes us about an hour and a half to drive here, so not just round the corner for us. Both looking forward to our meals we arrived early afternoon. The pub was fairly quiet, we didn't want anything big so we both ordered a sausage baguette, but instead of having onion with it we wanted cheese. When ordering the server told my husband that "we may get some crisps with it" . Odd comment I thought, when on the menu it said all served with a salad and some crisps. When our food arrived we had 3 sausages in a baguette, and some grated cheese on the side, no salad or crisps in sight. We presumed that the cheese would be in the baguette and the salad and crisps on the plate too. We asked the server about the salad to which she replied "oh yes I forgot" . About 5 minutes later the man server brought us a plate with a few leaves, 2 slices of tomato, 3 slices of cucumber, a piece of beetroot and a "dollop" of coleslaw. Accompanied by about 6 crisps. I said "is this just one? Or for both of us?" He replied "both of you" pitiful side salad I had ever seen for two people. During our visit no one offered us a check back or if everything was ok, even when our plates were cleared. We went to the bar to pay our bill and even then we weren't asked if everything was ok. That is the first time I have ever left a restaurant feeling hungry. When asking for a manager we were told there wasn't anyone available. Basically we had a hotdog for £7.50. NOT happy.

Just bar meals and some of them had sold out ,was looking to have a lovely choice of food and was let down could have had what they had at any other pub but would have saved money on fuel

The roast special was tasteless and the jacket potato with cheese inedible.. We did mention it politely to the bar staff, who just shrugged his shoulders and walked off! The Restaurant is in a great position and desperately needs owners who can produce better food and have received customer training.

If you looking for some nice cozy old fashion family pub with a style this place is perfect. Food reasonable price and very yummy, great to bring your family and friends and in sunny days enjoy meals outside by the river

We have eaten here several times and always enjoyed our visit. The basic menu is typical pub food but the specials always have several unusual dishes. It can be busy in summer with slightly slower service but with the river to look out on it doesn't matter. Always at least two real ales available which are very well kept. The side salad is a real treat, it has everything and there is enough for two people.

There was 7 of us, sat round a lovely oval table in the centre of the room, but the chairs are so uncomfortable...all the cushion pads in the seats has worn away...it wasn't just me, we ALL felt low down from the table top & felt the hard springs on our buttocks!I challenge the owner to try these chairs for a few hours!! The overall meals were lovely, the steaks would of been 100% better if served with onion rings/mushrooms/salad garnish etc...friendly staff...lovely puddings :-))

I have used this restuarant several times in the past and have always been happy with the food and staff, on this visit I had with me my fiancee who had never been to the jenny's before and she was really impressed with the food, as normal a high standard in all respects was achieved, the food was hot and tasty , the staff friendly and the atmosphere very welcoming, I really can't understand where some of these negative reviews come from as the standard of food is excellent and value for money is high . I for one shall happily continue to use the jenny's on many more occasions

Great setting, lovely staff but such a boring menu. My Partner really likes this place but I really struggle to find something appealing to eat and usually end up having a salad. The service is great and the food is fine, solid home cooking - rather like my mother would do, over cooked vegetables etc. I know it doesn't sell itself as a Gastro pub and if it's what it's clientele want.... but a couple of nice "adventurous" specials would be nice.
