Nelson's Nest of Swaffham in Breckland

To celebrate our civil partnership and my 85th birthday we invited 28 friends from our village to a buffet evening at the George Hotel. They deserve praise for the wonderful selection of food, reasonably priced, the service by the staff and the help and professionalism of Roxi the General Manager. Thanks to them it was an evening to remember forever.

Went as a group of 6 for a carvery lunch. The carvery was terrible, shrivelled up dry meat, everything was cold. When complained told I had no right too because someone else on the table had finished theirs and that I should of complained at the start even though I hadnt eaten it. Will definitely give this place a wide berth in future

We had a poor experience from the moment we walked in. The waitress was rude as we sat down. We didn’t get menus or our drinks order taken for 20 minutes. When our food arrived we instantly realised there were issues. I got the roast turkey but had no roast potatoes. I did flag this and the waitress got me some. My partner ordered beef Bourguinon which was listed as coming with butter mash but it didn’t have any potato on the plate and instead came with roast dinner trimmings. My friends had burgers and chips which looked so sad on the plate. Another waitress who served them even said ‘sorry these don’t look very appealing’! They tasted like a cheap Spoons meal for double the price. We told the original waitress the issues when she came to clear the plates and she didn’t care and didn’t even apologise. Overall it was a really disappointing experience.

Not as good as the last time we visited the place but still OK

Fantastic pub! The food was delicious. We were served quickly. The staff were friendly and attentive. Good menu choices. Close to Go Ape/High Lodge. Would return!!
