Yet again another good experience at this restaurant. Me and my girlfriend come and visit yarmouth every year and come to this restaurant when we can. This year we have ordered the mix grill for myself and mushroom strogonoff for the girlfriend. Even though it took a little while, the food was worth the wait. The strogonoff was nice and creamy and the choice of meat and the flavours of the dishes were excellent.

When we came the place was empty but the staff politely greeted us and brought us to our table. The place was clean and nice but no music or nice ambient lighting. The place looked rather 2000s and no theme. Staff were very polite and took our orders nicely. Food came rather quickly and was very tasty made by experienced chefs!

Walked in here as the board outside advertising roast dinners. 5pm - no roast left, no veg either. I wanted a salad but with no cucumber - wasnt able to as the salad was pre-made and had cucumber through it. I asked if i could just have plain lettuce and tomatoes- "None left!" Husband had sweet and sour chicken - almost £14 - was just dried chicken with an uncle Ben's jar thrown in it! I asked for the Halloumi burger, asking the waiter if this was a vegetarian burger with Halloumi- "yes" he replied. What arrived was 2 pieces of burnt Halloumi on a stale burger buns with limp lettuce and a couple of pieces of sliced tomato- which wasnt available 10 mins prior! - no veggie burger in sight. I called for the same waiter who said it was vegetarian- yes but I wanted the burger! He then proceeds to say he didn't understand- we didn't eat our food, still paid the bill - £32 - I work in hospitality so would not dream of not paying, but thankfully won't be in Yarmouth again anytime soon, and would avoid this place if it was the only place open!

For another 2pounds you are better off going down the road for a good roast.The roast mixed meat was ok but the vegetables that came with it were terrible…….I would not serve them even to my worst enemy. The vegetables were overcooked and not edible. The lamb chops were cooked to perfection very good…..the rest of it Iam struggling to rate it.for the price of it I think it’s not worth it…there are better places than this one.only good thing about it was the meat the rest no no no and no out of order.2/10

Been on "date night". Warm greeting, though we were 15 mins early we were greeted and seated immediately. Waiter and waitress were tentative and despite getting busy took time to chat and make us comfortable. Not a large wait for the food and I must say I would have waited longer for what we got! It was very very good with plenty on the plate. Dessert was more than equal to the meal. Highly, highly recommend. Rick and Mandy.

We recently stayed in Great Yarmouth for a couple of days and visited the Arches on the first evening. There was a lovely and varied menu, including a varied kids menu for my 9 year old. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the restaurant was quaint and clean. The starters were delicious...we had the Garlic Mushrooms and the Cheesy garlic bread. We then had lasagne, BBQ ribs and a child's Spaghetti Bolognese. Again...all delicious and piping hot. We loved it so much that we booked a table again for our 2nd night. The prices were reasonable and I would definitely recommend it. We look forward to visiting again next summer!

Have visited this establishment many times over the years. Perhaps it has changed ownership again this year (?) but I won't be going back. Very small portions for my main meal (Steak Pie) with very few potatoes & veg meaning I'd finished eating in under 2 minutes. My friend ordered Burger and salad with chips. Hardly any salad though and so few chips we thought there was a potato shortage. Even the drinks don't escape criticism - a pint of squash was pathetically weak. Didn't bother with a sweet course.

We visited on Sunday, I had a large Sunday roast, I’m sure it was frozen microwaved roast dinner from a supermarket- really really poor , 4 very small roast potatoes, wafer thin beef, lumpy mash etc. my wife had Spaghetti bolognaise, again really poor , tasteless with tough meat that had been defrosted, our daughter had a microwave pizza, they had no puddings , things crossed off the menu with blue pen . Damp smelly table cloths , lights missing , flies , we Will remember it for the humour factor forever, we ordered the food and it literally came out within 2 minutes. Personal preference but i wouldn’t recommend to anyone it’s a dive

We visited twice we had a great 1st visit on the Saturday (we were a bit tired after travelling and wanted something fairly light to eat and somewhere nice & comfy to sit and eat it. We had a very attentive, welcoming and friendly waitress, the service was great, the waitress on hand to check if we needed anything, she brought our requested salad cream promptly and then checked back later that everything was okay, it certainly was the salads were gorgeous! The 2nd time we visited we were served by a waiter who brought my daughters salad and my Sunday Dinner and offerred to bring any condiments/sauces etc I asked for apple sauce to go with my pork however he promptly forgot and didn't come near the table until we had finished. He didn't really seem interested in serving us. The salad my daughter had wasn't as good as the one on the first visit. My Sunday Dinner was a mixed bag, in that the pork was nice, though a bit of crackling would have been a great touch, some of the veg was hard, the roast potatoes were divine! but the mashed ones were absolutely revolting you could have laid paving stones with it! I think it was probably smash rather than handmade fresh mash. After the second visit experience we ate elsewhere the rest of the week which was a shame because there was a lot of different choices on the menu we could have explored.

Me and my two sisters went today 3rd July for a late lunch. We all had mushroom omelette with chips and peas/beans. It was great. It came up piping hot and was freshly made - you could tell. We even joked the peas were like lava. It’s somewhere we will definitely go again when we’re in Gr Yarmouth. We’d travelled in for the day from Norwich. Cannot fault the restaurant, service or food, it was all good. We even overheard another customer at a different table rave about the roast dinner he had just had - always nice to hear that other meals were just as good as ours. 👍👍

Turned up after ringing ahead and being told not to worry about booking. Found the place packed with people sitting around a snooker table using it as a table for drinks. Very odd place. Offered a table so small for 3 people that I've had bigger pizzas. Not a nice atmosphere to sit and eat, as someone that travels the uk eating in many different places I'd not choose this even on my own. To clarify we turned up with 8 to have drinks and 3 people to eat, the table offered was too small for 1 and the attitude of staff meant none of us stayed.
