A great restaurant to pop in to for lunch on a Saturday. We were met by Cristina and Daisy. Nothing is ever too much trouble for the staff there. They showed us to our table, took our order, and while we were waiting , we had a cup of their delicious coffee. I had fish, cooked to perfection, with mashed potatoes and broccoli . Beautifully presented. My husband had their burger, with all the trimmings , onion rings and delicious chips. It was the chef / owners birthday, and the sous chef appeared with a chocolate cake which did have a few candles, and after Happy Birthday was sung, the cake was cut, and we were served a slice. ( free of charge) A very comfortable restaurant, where you are made to feel very welcome.

We discovered The Blind Pig today and what a gem! Superb food, beautifully presented, and accompanied by a great wine list. The lovely, friendly chef, Nick and his team had all the time in the world for us and made our lunch with friends an enjoyable and relaxing experience. The atmosphere is intimate and cosy, and ideal for all occasions.

Met up with friends for lunch today and had a great experience and meal. I had risotto and sticky toffee pudding and the wife had fantastic crispy pork belly and apple tarte tatin. Lovely people (Nick the owner / chef came out to say hello and check all was ok) and a great value fab meal. We will be coming back, recommended.

Our second visit to The Blind Pig Aylsham for Sunday lunch. I had a cocktail with my vegetarian roast, a lovey treat. Such a large portion and truly delicious roast potatoes. My husband had roast beef, and couldn’t believe the size of the Yorkshire puddings. I could only manage their coconut ice cream for dessert, but my husband tucked into a fruit crumble and custard. There were quite a few other diners, and over our coffee, we thought how cosy and comfortable the restaurant was. The waitress was delightful, and very attentive. They do make good coffee, which is a refreshing change. So looking forward to our next visit. Such lucky people that live in Aylsham, which has this amazing, albeit small restaurant.

We arrived on time, and had our table pointed out to us. We had to get our own menus off the bar as none were given to us or left on the table for us (we both needed to use the loo when we arrived). We then sat for 25 minutes before we decided to leave. In that time a table of 4 was seated, menus brought to the table, and a drinks order taken. Another couple was also seated, given menus, and had their order taken - the point we decide to leave was when their starters were brought over and yet neither waitress had even looked at us. We fully appreciate that Saturdays are busy nights for restaurants, but when there's 10 or less tables it's a bit ridiculous to not have even been asked if we'd like a drink.

Fantastic intimate restaurant with a wonderful atmosphere and very friendly staff. Food was delicious however I don't believe the deserts quite lived up to the other courses. I was disappointed that the bottle of rosé wine we ordered arrived unchilled. It was supplied in an ice bucket however I had to ask twice to have the ice replaced as it melted quickly. Also, I did feel as though some of the dishes on the menu were not in keeping with the restaurant's image. That's purely opinion and no slight on the restaurant.

Our first visit but hopefully not the last. Delicious food with excellent service. The roasts looked amazing when they were brought to the table and I was beginning to regret my choice of the hake. I was not disappointed though - it was perfect. A good choice of desserts - I loved the mango tart tatin with coconut ice cream and my husband’s choice of chocolate and pistachio brownie was equally well received. Under new ownership, The Blind Pig deserves to do well and we are looking forward to a return visit.

A birthday lunch with friends. Exceptional Sunday lunch , followed by desserts to die for. Very attentive staff, nothing was too much trouble. There were ten of us, and we were all served with a smile. Prosecco served ice cold in ice buckets, every attention to detail in as far as gravy in small jugs, and delicious coffee. Lots of choice. We will definitely visit The Blind Pig again.again.

A smart little restaurant in a quiet area of Aylsham. My fish and chips were very good and so was the salmon starter. Only minus points is the haloumi salad wasn't that obviously labelled and my mum found it a little small for a main dish. Overall pretty good and a fair price too

Disappointed with our lukewarm Sunday lunch. Most of the vegetables were undercooked ( more than al dente!) Yorkshire pudding was cold and hard. A few people in the restaurant sent their Yorkshire puddings back presumably either cold or hard as well. The gravy was very salty but …..the chicken was tasty ! Maybe we were just unlucky today as there are lots of excellent reviews for this restaurant. Initially we didn’t complain because we’re British:) and thought we could get through it but it really wasn’t acceptable. It is not cheap to go out for a meal these days so we really shouldn’t have to put up with poor standards. Unfortunately the owner or manager was very dismissive when we complained and said “ no one else has complained” No price reduction, no complimentary drinks, I’m not even sure if she apologised. Not really the best customer service in the world !

Went on a whim after seeing the Hake dish on your socials, great decision. The husband is hard to please, and his little eyes lit up from the first mouthful.

This wasn't a meal, this was a dining experience. You can tell the owners put a huge amount of thought into getting things right. The menu is perfect, and justifiably priced because the quality of the ingredients and the care and attention to getting the dishes perfect was very evident. I had the burger, which was phenomenal, and my wife had the pork belly which was equally perfect. The ambience was lovely, great choice of colours and music and everything was so clean and purposeful to get the environment just right, it seems large enough to meet enough people you know but small enough to still be intimate. Very very impressed and will be back often.
