Fancied a roast, I had beef, hubby had gammon, we had it delivered and it did take an hour and a half to arrive, but it was piping hot, great amount of tender meat, veg were nice, carrot and green beans, peas and gravy, there were lots of roast potato's, I would prefer some mash or new potatoes and less toasties but these are just my thoughts. We did enjoy it, so all good.

The Food is well below quality from cost of it, mostly burnt and you seldom get food you ask for, and they ban you if you complain, the cook called Martin is aggressive and knows nothing about manor or respect to customers..

I wouldn't eat here in a MILLION years. Did you know there are 6 microwaves in their kitchen? That's right, 6. That says all you need to know

Last night we ordered via Justeat 1 sundae £6 & 1 Super Bowl £13 (described as ridiculously large bowl) - it's not as described. We ordered the superbowl to share for my kids, as it was her birthday. The superbowl arrives in a small bowl (slightly smaller than a breakfast bowl) and had much more cream than ice cream. We could see the Super Bowl was roughly same size as the sundae, so we poured them each in a breakfast bowl and there was no difference between them. Now we paid £6 for the sundae, & a whopping £13 for the Super Bowl. What a rip off - we were so disappointed. Now my point is that there is NO difference between a normal Sundae and the Super Bowl, and it’s certainly not like as it’s advertised, much smaller and not ridiculously large! I left feedback explaining the above on Justeat and instead of them accepting this feedback they replied and basically Told me to get a McFlurry! Yep they’re that rude. And you can see all there other dismissive and pathetic replies to other negative feedback in Justeat.

Ordered small roast and boss hogg deluxe Roast was awful Yorkshire pudding was very cooked and hard in places. The veg taste like they come from Iceland. The burger was missing the 2 beef burgers the hubby ordered chicken as extra so he phoned them they said as he ordered extra chicken (he paid extra money for) they don't put the beef burgers on. Well my advice is reword the disruption to say replacement at an extra cost. Not just extra . Poor quality food for the price

Having used jesters in Normanston Park for a few years we have been disappointed on the last several visits. We had been giving them the benefit of the doubt due to covid etc. However, they no longer do baguettes but have replaced these with 5” baps. They have also increased the price of these by 80p. I have also noticed that on a couple of occasions the baps have obviously been defrosted and then microwaved so not really a fresh roll. A bacon bap is now £3.30 which is a lot smaller than the baguettes they used to do at £2.50. To be fair the staff who work there are extremely polite and efficient, it’s not their fault the owner has decided to increase costs. A cup of normal coffee is £1.80 when most supermarket cafes offer same for £1.50 and some with free refills. We have decided to give this place a miss from now on as there is much better value in other venues in Lowestoft. The venue is nice and clean and staff work really hard. The location is pleasant so it’s a shame the costs have increased so much. I think 2 bacon baps and two coffees should not cost over £10 which it does here.

I ordered lunch for 11 people to be delivered at yesterday. The staff were very helpful and courteous, the food arrived on time and hot. Very tasty food, loads of choice, we ordered 10 different items off the menu and everyone agreed it was great. Would recommend for lunch deliveries in Lowestoft. Also great value :)

Came for a birthday treat in the sun, had no french stick, the one thing they advertise all over the place. Due to covid and indoor being closed we sat outside and so didn’t get the free drink for sitting in, breakfast was poor quality, tinned tomato, not half a tomato and watery beans. Very dry bread roll. Was in a takeaway container so not presented very nicely. Don’t bother!

My wife and I enjoyed a home delivery meal from Jesters as it was her Birthday and due to lockdown we couldn't go out to eat, so we ordered in...this is the first time we have used them (although we had tried on Valentine's Day but no deliveries were available). My wife ordered a Fried Chicken, Bacon and Maple Waffle Sandwich, I ordered a Boss Hogg Deluxe and we had a starter size Pimped Out Pulled Pork Nachos to share...we specified the delivery time and it was within 15 minutes, so all pretty decent and the delivery driver was friendly (as was Tia who took my order). When we unpacked the food we realised the portions were huge...everything was sealed in plastic containers and still pretty hot. The Boss Hogg was delicious, with two good sized beef burgers, bacon, onions rings, coleslaw and salad and a large bag of chips. There was far too much for me to eat so I focused on the meat and hot food and left mainly the salad / slaw. My wife's sandwich was also large...and the 'starter sized' pulled pork nachos was big enough to be a main course - the presentation was a bit messy but it was all tasty and there was loads of it. If we had realised how big the portions were we would have probably skipped the starters and had the chips in the Boss Hogg Deluxe between us. Overall I was very happy with our meal, which was decent value for what you got, and it was free delivery. Service was friendly and efficient. Was well worth trying.

Ordered a delivery a few weeks back and due to an error with their website it was duplicated and I was charged twice. I phoned and they cancelled one of them and I was supposed to be refunded within 3-5 working days.. three weeks later I’m still waiting for my refund. Jesters told me to contact foodhub which I have and now I’m having to jump through hoops to get my money back. Shocking customer service. Shame because the food can be good, I just don’t like having to pay twice for it.

Food took longer than they said to arrive which they had told us it would take an hour and it took longer, when it did arrive the order was wrong they read the order back as well and it was correct but couldn’t seem to make it right. The gravy was watery and flavourless. The chips and onion rings were overcooked. Overall won’t be ordering from here again especially after the price you pay for it you expect a better quality of food. Not impressed.

Ordered a takeaway Roast dinner for 2 at 3.30pm Sunday 3rd Nov via Just Eat. Had confirmation of Order at 5.40pm when Jesters reopened delivery about 7.10 pm. At 7.45pm rang Jesters told it would be another 45 mins as there was 2 orders infront of me. Explained my displeasure and was told to hold on then came back and told me I was banned as she did not like my tone and I would receive my money back in 7 days. Her attitude was apauling and her tone was vile. If you cannot complain to them then I take the view of Zero Tollerance and will not take abuse from them. I immediately phone Just Eat and made a complaint about them and their vile rudeness on the phone they immediately gave me my money back DO NOT USE THEY ARE RUDE AND ABUSIVE.

Quite possibly the worst breakfast I’ve ever rated. Having waited 50 minutes for food the breakfasts came out swimming in oil and fat so much so that it left a puddle of the plate. When we cut into the sausages fat just oozed out. Everything just tasted of grease and nothing else. Revolting. Would not recommend. In future we will stick to the Lighthouse for breakfast.

I ordered my meal from dial your dinner, but somehow instead of ordering from Lowestoft i mistakenly ordered from the Yarmouth one. My order was accepted and payment was taken, the app said it would be about an hour which we didn't mind, an 1 1/2 hours later still no meal, so i rang the Lowestoft store asking where our food was and they told me they hadn't received any order. Lowestoft found out that my order had been cancelled. Yarmouth never bothered to contact me to say my meal was cancelled. I reordered with Lowestoft even though we now had another hour to wait for the meal. We then received a phone call from Lowestoft jester to say because of what happened they cant apologise enough, and as a way of saying sorry they bumped our order to the top and given us a complimentary bottle of wine. I had added drinks to my order which wasn't on my previous and upon delivery i was going to pay for them to which the delivery guy said there was no charge for them either. Now i know this has been long winded but needed to explain the story. Yes it was my fault i ordered wrong, Yarmouth should have told us and Lowestoft sorted it above and beyond what they had to . And the food was great too. The only reason for 4 stars is purely because i wasn't told of the cancellation and only by phoning did i find out . A big thank you to Lowestoft Jesters

Where to start... Mushroom stroganoff bruschetta - 5mushrooms half an onion in a disgusting sauce definately not stroganoff! Bruschetta is meant to be toasted however I got half a roll and soggy as sauce had been smothered over it! Rice extremely bland n no flavour to it at all. Chilli n cheese chips hardly any cheese on there at all. Chilli burnt your mouth off and chips had been microwaved! My partners steak phat sandwich was nice but just again over powering with onion which he removed. Cheesy mash had pepper in it? Why?Amount of money things cost was definately expecting higher standards!

I popped in one evening for a quick meal. The food tasted good but the disappointing part was the length of the waiting time for it to be cooked. Especially, as I was the only person in there at the time. When the meal came, I then had to ask why part of the advertised meal was missing from my plate. The delivery side of the business appeared to be thriving with drivers constantly in and out BUT in my opinion a little more concentration on the customers eating in would be more beneficial. Although, only a personal preference, I think it would be better to make the coffee and tea yourselves rather than relying solely on a machine to produce it. The establishment is located in a lovely park.

I have mobility problems and when I asked where the toilets were I was told upstairs, when I said I couldn't use the stairs I was told to use the toilets in the park. If you want average food, rude staff and inadequate toilet facilities this is the place for you.

Visited Jesters recently after a friend recommended it. I found the staff to be cheerful and friendly, the venue was clean and the menu has plenty to choose from. We were served very quickly and were happy with the food; Chilli, Phat sandwich and pulled pork burger followed by sticky toffee pudding and apple/toffee pie. The portion sizes are good and the prices are reasonable, we came away feeling full! Jesters is also conveniently placed next to the park and has nice views. Ideal stop off if you want a quick cuppa and a bite to eat. We would visit again.

God Knows where Martin came up with this idea but I am so glad that he did, a homemade burger, with cheese, bacon and BBQ sauce served in between two halves of a glazed donut. amazingly good

I have been to this Diner several times and had a bacon roll which was nice.This time I went for a meal with my daughter. I ordered the rib eye steak and asked for this to be cooked medium rare. My daughter ordered the gammon steak. We ordered tortillas to share for starters, we asked for these to be served cheese only but when they arrived it was covered in everything. I said to the waitress what had happened and she asked if we wanted more cheese? I said "no point as my daughter wouldn't eat any of it now" she just smiled and turned away. When the main meals arrived I was like what an earth is this. My steak was well over cooked and very hard to chew and my daughters gammon was over cooked too. The egg on her gammon looks like it has been cooked on a griddle that needs a dam good clean, it was black looking. The salad was covered in mustard that my daughter wouldn't eat. I never complained as I didn't see the point as it fell on deaf ears earlier we just left without saying anything. I will still go there for a bacon roll but won't be having a proper meal there again.

On the plus side,*Nice location, overlooking the football pitches (and I would guess maybe it used to the football teams clubhouse?)*Staff all very young but friendly and seemed happy.*Service very quick*Huge portions*Nice decorOn the downside,*I was brought the wrong meal (although in fairness I think what I had was more expensive version of what I ordered)*The food was ok but to be honest it wasn't great. It feels like it maybe used to be a cafe and probably should be a cafe. The menu had a LOT of variety and a lot of things that don't seem connected to one style or type of food. I would imagine that that it would be hard to do all of those things well and quickly.

Had the Big Boy breakfast (£6.99)The location was nice, the interior was clean and nicely laid out.Staff were friendly and attentive.The reason Jesters only scored a 3 was the food.Sausage 3/10 (Not what I would call a good British banger)Tomatoes 2/10 (Tinned not fresh and went cold very quickly)Egg 9/10Mushrooms 9/10Beans 9/10Bacon 8/10Sauté potatoes 9/10Ruined by the poor sausage and the bad choice of Tomatoes. Change those 2 simple items and it would transform this breakfast into a real winner. Such a shame to spoil the ship for a 'hapeth of tar'Toilet door sticks and therefore very difficult to shut and lock.

So like any Sunday morning with a hangover I decided to use jesters to driver myself and friend over £20 worth of food at 12:30 I was told that it would tak approximately 45mins it's now 14:35 and I'm yet to see my food I called up and got some fool that had not a clue tried to tell me that they are busy without even an apology.... Good arrives to which was vile !!! Sausages that contained about .5% of pork mushrooms that are burnt and vile bread that was definately Asda value !!! Overall absolute rubbish would not recommend this for a dog !!!! Awful awful awful !!!! Do not order from here unless you have no tastebuds !!!!

This is a great little café, excellent value, lovely, hot, home cooked food & very friendly staff. We think this place is a real find! It also does home delivery (we haven't tried this service yet) and kiddies meals are good value and must be tasty as our grandchildren cleared their plates in record time!! (As did their granddad!!) Another bonus is that it is situated in Normanton park, so the kids, big & small, can run off any excess energy on site!So, if you want a good, hot, tasty breakfast or brunch, we advise you to go no further than Jesters!

A nice setting on the edge of the park with outdoor seating. The restaurant is quite cramped inside and the food we found was mediocre . I would go back for a coffee or cool drink outside but would not wish to eat anything inside because as i have said the space between the tables down stairs is not satisfactory .

Arranged to meet a friend in the park, As I arrived early decided to go for a cuppa and read my book. bad mistake. The staff were very unfriendly, the music so loud it was being distorted through the speakers. the place smelt like a bottle of shake and vac. When I asked for a pot of tea I was given half a mug of lukewarm water which the young girl floated a tea bag on to. There were so many tables squashed into the place that I had to move the table behind so that I could draw the chair to sit down. The tea was disgusting to the point of being undrinkable. No wonder I was the only customer.

I decided to upgrade to the hutson sausages with my breakfast the other day but will stick to their regulars in future as it did put me right off when it was raw in middle when i cut into it. i dare not send anything back as i always think it will get licked/chucked on floor before re cooking for you lol so just left it for them to see.but never had probs with their normal ones.

Things started well, the place was clean and warm on a cold January day, it went rapidly downhill from there.The service was poor but eventually managed to order, when the plate arrived the food was swimming in beans which had made the hash browns soggy, the egg only comes one way, the sausages were cheap nasty mushy and inedible.When I spoke to a member of staff about it, he just shrugged his shoulders and told me to contact the owner which I did, however it appears that the member of staff had told the manager a completely different story.This is the cheap end of the market and was only chosen because of its location, never again.

Called in for a late lunch. The food was well priced and we enjoyed most of it. We ordered some onion rings which were terribly greasy and for that reason possibly the worst I'd ever had. It was very quiet with only one other table in that left before we received our food. The only other thing that puts me off is I started to feel sick towards the end of the meal and continued to feel sick and get cramps in my stomach for the rest of the day and all of the next. I'm not allergic or sensitive to any foods so I'm not used to this at all and it's really put me off returning incase the same thing happens again!

We were looking for somewhere to have lunch as we were having a boat trip on the Wavely. Found this place. Well the first thing that greeted you was the smell of chip fat. We did not know the area and time was short, we went in and ordered two jacket potatoes (good quality potatoes however Luke warm on arrival, I also ordered a tea and a black coffee with milk on the side(a simple enough drink), however when it came it was a shot of coffee and a jug of milk I took it back and asked for it to be filled up with HOT water, this again was tepid. by now I had given up. (I will give the girl the benefit of the doubt with Black coffee) perhaps I should have said Americano. Last but not least I asked how much the cake cost (which looked as if it had been in the display containers for a long time) by the time it was passed to three of the youngsters (from me to you a bit like the Chuckle Brothers)!! I gave up. A place I certainly would not recommend.

Myself and my wife went here for lunch. We do often go here because the atmosphere is brilliant. The food is brilliant and the staff outstanding. Our plates were full from the carvery. Plenty of meat and extras, with everything gluten free (apart from the Yorkshire's). Having cauliflower cheese that is suitable for those who are intolerant to gluten is amazing. The beef was tender and cooked to perfection Everywhere is spotless and talking to those in the pub, some drive over 50 miles just to come to the pub on a Sunday for food.

6 of us dropped in for a drink after the cinema at 22.05 today . Totally deserted except for one customer at the bar. Waited over 5 minutes before the customer offered to find the bar staff. Empty glasses on bar and tables so obviously work to do but no staff. Young lady eventually appeared and promptly said we've finished serving. No apology. I am amazed bars can afford to turn away 6 customers let alone without an apology. Also strange on 2nd July to read Christmas menus displayed around the walls. No idea if these are very early for this year or left up from last year? I've worked in hospitality much of my life and the golden rule is 'never turn away a paying customer' Unfortunately a no stars review wasn't an option. Very disappointing.

Had to wait 3/4 of hour for a breakfast. No mugs available. Staff clearing trays away handing dirty crockery and table numbers then going to food counter to touch people's plates without cleaning hands first.food left on serving counter for ages before being brought out,people then sending it back because it was then cold as ours was,not as good as it used to be

Ok a 2 hour wait is totally unacceptable! On ordering I was told that delivery would be an hour, so ok great know, they’re busy, but happy they had told me this. After hour and half called and told , oh yeah your order is here on table, will be there in 5 minutes……….after the initial call, 2 hours later our order arrived, I think a free dessert would have been a great gesture. Our food was delicious though, roast dinner and a burger were tasty but this 2 hour wait needs addressing!
