Oliver Twist Restaurant in Fenland

I was in Guyhirn for the first time on Sunday the 10th of November. I was early for my appointment and decided to stop at the OT for a sandwich and a cup of tea. That soon changed when I walked in and noticed straight away the welcoming atmosphere, and the many folks tucking into what looked like a fabulous roast dinner. My stomach spoke and the landlady went out of her way to find a free table for me, and even on a busy day I didn't have to wait long. Folks I love my food and I tell ya, this was amazing! I made sure to leave my cutlery pointing the correct way to show the chef how much I appreciated his/her skills. I will definitely be back, even if it takes me the 90 minutes to drive there. The beef was cooked to perfection, the spuds and the vegetables spot on AND the gravy OMG. You didn't feel rushed, there was no sense of panic, just friendly locals or visitors all here for the same thing, bloody good food. Thank you to the staff.

Great 2 Night stay, fantastic host and staff, spacious room fully equipped, super comfy bed and pillows, great menu with quality ingrediants. A definate contender to win Four in a bed!!!!!!

We were a family group of eleven age range 21 to 86 The food was outstanding hot and freshly cooked Staff were amazing nothing was too much trouble Would go back in a flash 5*

Lovely ❤️ What a lovely place to be…. Good food Amazing friendly staff Plenty of parking Rooms available toooo Loved every minute

What a find. Great menu, great staff and excellent surroundings. We had an excellent meal here. I`d highly recommend this country pub. Not immediately obvious from the main road (A47), but look it up either by name or Google. Definitely not one to be missed. There is also accommodation available. Nice!

Ok…. I haven’t reviewed anywhere for a while but this is necessary! Table of 22 booked to celebrate a friends birthday. We didn’t pre-order, we ordered on the night. We all accepted that there maybe some delays with food coming out as the restaurant was open, serving other paying customers. There were quite a few ‘changes’ (chips for mash, burger in a ‘normal’ roll not a brioche, gluten free, starter for main etc….) The staff did amazing!! Not ONE, I repeat NOT ONE single order was wrong, the food was piping hot AND we were all served together. I have no idea how they managed this, but they were fabulous! An absolute asset to the pub. They were friendly (we were rowdy!) and polite. Nothing was too much trouble. Extra gravy, extra sauces, one of the girls even remembered whose order was whose!! Very welcoming, not one single negative :)

The food is excellent and there is a broad range on the menu. We have found the food is always consistently excellent and you can tell it has been produced by a talented chef. The real ales are well kept and always at their best and you will always receive a warm welcome. Well done Oliver Twist.

Nice and clean, nice atmosphere Friendly, helpful staff. The food was excellent, it was fresh and tasty with good size portions. The best food I've had with a great selection of choice.

Wow, totally blown away, a lovely place to stay, rooms were refreshing, spotless and attended to every day. The staff were fantastic and welcoming, nothing was too much effort, family run and with passion. The food was out of this world, had the Steak Pie, wow, just wow, home made and amazing. Every meal was outstanding, that includes the breakfast. Well worth a visit, well worth returning to. Thank You ☺️

Family get together, excellent quality food and service, could not fault it. Lovely atmosphere will be back. highly recommend for couples or family.

Just an excellent Sunday Roast Dinner and venu. You can't fault the service and courtesy by all staff , great value for money

Found a black hair in my starter which has put my off going to this pub for food. I will not come here again and I do attend this pub occasionally. WILL NOT GO BACK.

We had dinners off the specials menu, really good dinner. Service was excellent, very helpful & friendly team.

Love all the food Fillet Steak is the best ❤️and Sunday dinners are lovely, Always Friendly always helpful Great service Great Food

Surberb sunday roast lunch. Arrived at 12.30 and greeted by friendly staff. Ordered the roast meats (3) platter for two for £28. We have eaten at most of the Local sunday lunch resturants near Kings Lynn and this was the best. 3 meats ,tender and full of flavour. Delious roast potatoes and HM YP. Stuffing, pasnips, carrots,broccoli, cabbage, new potatoes and lovely gravy which was topped up . Cannot fault the meal at all. Will visit many times again. Thank you.

Had a lovely family meal at this restaurant for the first time. Staff were great and the food very nice. Very clean and pleasant surroundings. Will go again and recommend this place.

Sunday lunch is really good. Staff friendly and attentive. Roast sharing platter is really good value

Needed a hallway location for a meeting and this fit the bill plus decent reviews. We it delivered. Start with staff who were efficient, gracious and engaging. Our appetizers were fresh and delicious. Entrees amply portioned and tasty. The desserts just topped it off. OK it’s out of the way but even in a wet/snowy evening it delivered.

Four of us had dinner on Christmas Eve, place was very festive, food was great as was the service. We’ve been here a number of times and have never been disappointed. Won’t be long before we visit aga.

Reading previous reviews we felt confident that Sunday Lunch for 8 of us including a child and teenagers at The Oliver Twist was the place to be especially as it was also quite local.A bonus during winter months. Staff acknowledged and engaged with us immediately on arrival, menu’s were distributed and drinks orders taken by friendly and attentive staff. Some of the starters were disappointing including the crab cake, the sauce accompanying the scotch egg, and the bread served with balsamic vinegar / oil although the mushrooms on toast were very much enjoyed. The mains arrived and there was, in fairness, plenty of food presented. No one was going to leave the restaurant hungry. The breast of chicken was very moist and tender but the beef and pork were over cooked and dry. There was a plentiful selection of vegetables and crispy Yorkshire puddings but, sad to say, we’ve had better roasties. The saving grace were the desserts including the Eton Mess with raspberries, sticky toffee pudding and the apple pie. The panna cotta and doughnuts would have also received a thumbs up had it not been such a small portion! That diner was very disappointed! We are hoping it was an ‘off day’ for the chef and, that if we returned for a meal during the week, we would be pleasantly surprised. Do we give it another chance? ps We did report a very slippery floor after one of our party who was using crutches and another wearing high heels nearly lost their balance. By the time we had paid the bill and were leaving (about 25 minutes) it had not been attended to. The restaurant was busy and the atmosphere was pleasant. Could do better The Oliver Twist although our hound was very grateful for his doggy bag!

My friend and I just called in for a drink late on a Saturday afternoon. We were greeted by a friendly Barmaid ( who had a pleasant personality which meant you could share conversation with her ). The menu looked so tempting I just had to order the Sea Bass from the specials section of the menu. This was properly freshly prepared ( not microwaved ) and with the very tasteful vegetables was superb, best I had tasted in years . 10/10

Wow is all I can I say lovely Sunday roast platter amazing friendly service with a great atmosphere will definitely be back very soon #HIDDEN-GEM

Not very inviting from the outside but had booked a table as not much open on Monday's. Greeted nicely by staff good prompt service and nice range of drinks and food. Lovely food and would definitely go back.

For business reasons myself and two other colleagues stayed at the Oliver Twist Country Inn for one night. The service and hospitality from the staff were extremely friendly and very welcoming. The evening meal and breakfast was excellent and offered plenty of mouth watering choices. As someone whose job requires regular travelling I would certainly recommend this venue to stay, would definitely use the Inn again.

Its the first time we have stayed at The Oliver Twist But I am sure we will be going back.The couple who run the pub and their staff made us feel very welcome and safe.The evening meal and breakfast were good value. The room I stayed in was spotless. The shower was really good.

The food was wonderful very generous portions it was all hot and extremely well presented The staff were professional and attentive and were dressed appropriately for the job Will definitely be returning in the future

Stayed nearby for a short break away with my husband, was recommended this place by the owner of where we were staying. The food was incredible, I highly recommend the crab fritters and the honeycomb toffee cheesecake My husband had the ribs which he said was really really good. Really nice place, lovely staff, light and airy and clean and fresh. If ever back in the area will defo pay a visit. 10/10

I was recommended to eat here after staying in a nearby Airbnb and the food was amazing, staff were great. Cannot recommend higher

Just had a Christmas day dinner at the Oliver Twist. The welcome was so friendly. The meal was superb from starters through to coffee. All through the meal staff were friendly and curtious. The atmoshphere in the pub was just right, Christmasy and bright all customers wishing each other a happy Christmas. Meal was spaced out so you could enjoy it and no rush to eat it and leave. Thank you all staf for such a love time and mesl. We will be back and hope to book for next year God willing.James Dixon 35/12/2020.

What can we say, very warm welcome from friendly staff, felt very safe, every where was clean and it was very Christmassy. The food was amazing and the service was great. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat during these very difficult times. We will definitely return and soon.

We have been here a couple of times for a take away and had lots of meals in the restaurant. The food is always well presented and tastes great. Staff welcoming and chatty. Couldn’t recommend enough.

First time out for a long while due to COVID, warm and friendly service, felt very safe, felt very Christmassy, food amazing, would fully recommend.

These guys really need a reality check “ especially in the world we’re in “gob smacking poor attitude and should they be doing this! You cannot treat a paying customer as if you are doing them a favour’ by being open’Save your money and go elsewhere

Absolutely delicious. 2 roast beef & 2 roast chicken. Meat cooked to perfection and all the trimmings were simply wonderful. Highly recommend. If we could give 10/10 we would.

Popped in on our way home and I must say the barmaid was fantastic and the food was brilliant will be back.

Food is amazing and service is great. Such a shame there’s no dog friendly area as we would love to come more often.

Like to share our experienceJoined friends for evening meal Great selection on menu Food was of high quality and well presentedStruggled to eat all as portion size was largeExcellent COVID-19 procedure in placeQuick and professional table serviceRecommend the steak!Great place to visitMark and Di

Had an anniversary meal kelly an excellent hostess and John a top chef food and service first class thank you for your wonderful hospitality

Staff were so friendly. We had a baby with us but was our first date since having her and everyone made it really special. We were the only ones in that part of the restaurant and the service was so quick. The food was exceptional we cannot wait to visit again! Thankyou Oliver Twist

We booked a table for my mother-in-laws 80th birthday for an evening meal and what can I say.... superb food, brilliant atmosphere, felt extremely safe with all the precautions taken in respect of Covid and ALL of the staff are simply THE best.

Delicious take away meals and treats like scotch eggs kept us going through lockdown. Our first meal in the restaurant was as good as we'd remembered. We are looking forward to having many more. Great atmosphere. Great staff especially Kelly and John.

Had a lovely evening here as always. Food fantastic again as always and the staff are great. A warm welcome whenever we go.

We were camping at the Secret Garden and so decided to book lunch for our second day. The staff were very good and everywhere was very well signposted. We were shown to our table and drinks arranged. Menu choice was very good. I had the fishcakes which were delicious my husband had the pie. We were very impressed with the food and explained our friends were joining us at the campsite and could we book for the Sunday lunch. We then returned on the Sunday and again were not disappointed. All very well laid out and set up. Food was excellent and we had a lovely afternoon. Thank you to the chef and all of the team.

Visited with my grand daughters and felt very safe doing so. We had a really nice lunch, the staff all wore face coverings and everything was in place to ensure we kept covid free.

Dined here with hubby on eat out help out. Sirloin steak perfectly coojed med rare with all the trimmings - superb onion rings and oliver burger with all the extras followed by the most luscious dark chocolate brownie and salted caramel icecream. Sll in all, fabulous.

Me and my partner came to eat here for Sunday lunch. We are big fan of le roast. Both of us agree this is the best Sunday roast we have had out in years. We have the Sunday roast share platter of meat with cut of beef, pork and chicken. Highly recommend! The service was also on point.

Thanks for the Oliver twist for evening dinner won't disappointed menu has lots to offer decided on beef and lamb both ok nicely presented good servicegood social distancing all the serving staff were wearing masks

First time out for lunch today since lockdown. Staff made us feel very welcome and at ease.I had the daube beef - really tender, hubby had a steak (huge) and our vegetarian daughter had the Black Bean burger - all delicious. Highly recommend the onion rings which we shared - we'll order an extra portion next time! Too full for desserts but looked so tempting we ordered them to take home.Found out there is a take away menu online too.We'll be back.

went ther with familey fro my stepsons 30th we had to have two tables due to the covid thing but we where close by the staff where execellent and very professional they made sure that when we ordered it all came out together so we eat at the sametime the food was lovely

We had a birthday meal for my wife with her Daughter and her husband and my granddaughter and our son and the food was delicious with excellent service from the staff and everyone said they had a good time and what they had was fresh and wonderfully cooked and would go back again very soon.

I have been using the Oliver Twist during the lockdown months for takeaways and I have to say that the food was excellent everytime. The service is always impeccable and friendly

Stayed here for work for 2 nights and ate in the restaraunt.The room was spacious, clean, fresh and wonderful.The meals were superb with high quality cuisine at very ressonable prices.The breskfasts were also really good.Kelly, the host was curtious, helpful and friendly while maintaining a proffesionalism.Well done to you all.

Attending The Oliver Twist today for a wake we had organised. Can not recommend it enough. Such good value for money. The food was lovely, there was plenty of it alcohol so reasonably priced and the service was so efficient and friendly. A big thank you to Kelly and John

been here on numerous occasions over the past 3 years..vip member but never been for sunday lunch the sharing sunday lunch was superb and great value will b back thankyou for ur hospitality

Met up with family here as a halfway point for each of us. Sunday lunch was excellent, with a choice of roasts, plus a wider menu choice. Would visit again.

The place was quite empty on Saturday so it was easy to get all the attention we wanted. We had three courses and the food was really good. The beer was good and the bar lady brought it over which might not be possible if it had been 8pm but at least she does if she can. The service was excellent, friendly, engaging and prompt. Couldn't have asked for any more

The staff here are the friendliest bunch of people. The food was delicious, especially the proper HOMEMADE desserts. I would recommend the honeycomb cheesecake......awesome. I'm quite sure all the puddings would be amazing and I intend to go back and eat my way through them. My only criticism would be the chips were still almost white. They were vooked throughout mot crispy and that proper chip colour. The only reason I can think of, was that the fat had not reached optimum temperature, as the onion rings were pale and had absorbed alot ot fat too.Other than that I would highly recommend this place and we will definitely be back

This was my first time visiting oliver twist..but my partner had been several times in the past, we had a lovely night. Food was excellent..very tasty..everything we had we hot and presented very well. Staff were very friendly we wasnt rushed to order at all. Food between each courses was served in perfect time. Overall it was all excellent..thank you

Nice bar with a warm welcome. excellent home made food although the soup was a very small portion, clean rooms. good breakfast choice.

I haven't been here for several years. A group of 8 had Sunday Lunch on the 9th.Unfortunately, the Curry was not enjoyed by one of our group. Not very spicy and luke warm, but didn't want to make a fuss. Yes we will all come again another time.

excellent food the ribeye steak was to die for. the staff were very friendly and helpful and the inn has a lovely atmosphere the whole evening was perfect will definitely be back

Great Warm welcome ordered drinks and shown to our table with menus.Lunch orders soon taken.Starters soon arrived and they were delicious,soon followed by the mains.The slow cooked belly pork was wonderful.The roast beef was very rare but delicious.If you want a mix of meats you can have a sharing board made up of beef, pork and chicken.All were served with roast potatoes and a selection of veg and lots of yummy gravy.If you still have room for desert there is a list of delightful home made ones.We can highly recommend the honey comb cheesecake,the brownie and the sticky toffee.

Food was fantastic especially the onion rings you have to to try them , steak was cook just right and chips where just the best , if you have room the sweets well try your self . Just yummy

This is THE best pub in the area. Brilliant atmosphere, fantastic food choice and nothing ever too much trouble. All the bar staff are an absolute credit to Kelly and we cannot recommend the Oliver Twist highly enough

Olivier Oliver, never before has a boy wanted more.

Food & service is always perfect, The whole family enjoys eating here. highly recommended. Looking forwatd to visiting again soon.

So its been a while since I've done any postings - I've been just too lazy I'm afraid. So anyway, went to the aforementioned Public House for dinner, twice in three days because I liked it that much! Despite this establishment being a few miles away from my homestead, I just never got round to visiting! So here we go, Camembert for starters, fish, chips, mushy peas and home made tarter sauce for the main. The Camembert was not too bad I have to say, the main was very good indeed. Beer battered haddock no less - very nice, chips well they were quite good as were the peas. The home made tarter sauce was very good, followed by home made rum & raisin ice cream. I have to say the fish & chips was probably the second best I've ever tasted (the best I've had being Fine Dining). Overall I was impressed to say the least. My second visit was ham hock scotch egg, and wait for it, a burger for my main. The scotch egg was awesome and the burger was also quite good. It was Christmas themed for my second visit and many thanks the Elf 1 and Elf 2 (Jayne & Emily) for looking after our table. I would thoroughly recommend this place for dinner. Oh and no rowdy guests please, the landlady is well into her Ninja related stuff!

Excellent. My girlfriend and I stop to have a meal here and it was excellent. The food was brilliant with very good portion sizes. The atmosphere and decor (well themed and quirky) was lovely and the staff were great. Overall great experience, recommend.

Really nice atmosphere, excellent self contained rooms and a great breakfast!!!! Was visiting an elderly relation and would not hesitate to use them again for my future visits to the area

Wow best curry I have ever tasted chicken was succulent and nice friendly staff and good atmosphere.

We were visiting to decide if thi si somehwere where we could have our first Xma lunch away from home. I am glad to ay it lived up to expectations and we do plan to have our Xmas lunch there. Its a nice location with good food and friendly staff

We took our time over choosing, very good menu. The food arrived and we weren’t disappointed by any of it, waiting staff attentive and friendly.

our first visit and last, service was slow table was not ready we were sat by the window,the window sill had dead flies on, starter was fine but the mains of ribeye steak was very poor. Mushrooms were black and like rubber bullets steak was tough as old boots very disapointing spoilt our evening we didn't bother staying for dessert.

We are regulars here and have the benefit of a loyalty card which gives us 10% off. The combination meat lunch is particularly good and good value and the staff are very pleasant

Not great but middle of the road. You won’t be disappointed but neither will your wallet. Predictable menu costing around £75 for three with starters mains and 2 drinks each.

Very warm welcome, freshly cooked and tasty food. Nice to have linen tablecloth and serviettes. Sensible prices also mean we will return.

I very rarely leave reviews....We were revealing back to Wales after picking up a sauna, it had been over 6 hrs driving & loading & we were looking for a nice country pub for a nice meal & a beer.. My son saw the sign through the bushes, the pub looked lovely.. The menu was fine & the camembert starter was lovely. The beef rib looked lovely, yet was mostly fat & bone, I've had these at other restaurants & this was terrible in comparison, the potato wedges that were supposed to be 3 fried were not cooked all the way through...The salad was ok though... Defiantly not worth the £16,95 .... My sons Dodger burger looked good, yet tasted like cheap frozen burgers & doubled up cost £17... Even the IPA was a little flat.. All in all a waste of £47.50... Was very disappointed, was going to complain but didn't really know where to start as it was such an anticlimax... The going lady serving was lovely though... If you are going to charge such prices, I suggest you have quality ingredients as you state on your sign... A party of 4 came in, sat down looked at the menu & left just as we were leaving. Bar food at fancy restaurant prices.. Chef trying to make silk purses out of pigs ears...

Pre-booked Xmas lunch. 8 of us family and friends. Could not be faulted. Table looked lovely, food well done and service impeccable. Very well organised and all of us really enjoyed ourselves. Many thanks to owners and staff. Would recommend.

We have taken several different family members to The Oliver Twist when they visit us from Essex. We have never been disappointed. Lovely food, Friendly Staff, reasonable prices! My brother-in-law had the pie, he said it's the best pie he has had in a long while. We will continue to dine out at The Oliver Twist and recommend to friends and family. Keep up the good work.

This is a lovely friendly pub and restaurant. The staff are always happy and pleased to serve you. I can honestly say I have never been disappointed with the food here. I take all of my friends here to eat when the come to visit.

Staff were quick and pleasant Food arrived quickly and was excellent quality and taste Service very nice Lovely meal and night out

Beautiful food, Perfect place, Lovely people and just all round lovely. This place is a must go, you will not regret it.
