Had the most delicious Sunday roast I’ve had in a long time. Beef nice and tender, lovely selection of vegetables, a massive homemade Yorkshire pudding, gravy tasty too. If you didn’t want a roast there are specials and also a menu too with plenty to choose fromCan’t wait for next visit

We went to this pub yesterday to meet friends for lunch. Never been there before. This place is great, the food and service is excellent. All food was cooked to order and the quality is amazing. There facilities are great for disabled customers as well. I would recommend and can say best pub we have been to for lunch in ages.

First visit here since they reopened following lifting of lockdown. It was good to see the car park full, Covid measures in place with tables spaced and all the necessary precautions in place. We had Roast Turkey which came with a good selection of vegetables and extra gravy. Generous size serving, so come hungry and best to book to avoid disappointment, especially on Sundays. Understand dogs are welcome in the bar area so remember to ask for a table there if you intend to bring your fur baby.

I’ve not been here for around 3 years so decided to come here and bring my mother in law for lunch. There was lots of choice on the menu and special board. I ordered chilli con carne, my husband the steak and ale pie, in law had the chicken curry and my son had the fish and chips. The waitress was extremely friendly and attentive. The place was clean and the covid procedures were spot on. Unfortunately that’s where the good points end! My in-laws curry was homemade and she actually count eat it, we tried some and there was an overwhelming taste of cumin, the consistency was very sloppy to, she couldn’t eat it! My chilli was so dry, there was no sauce nor actual flavour, the tortillas were dry and stale, my husbands steak pie was watery, the mash had a very odd shiny look to it and an odd taste! Of all the meals, the fish and chips was really the only nice meal to be served! It was such a shame as reading other reviews, the foods been good! The waitress came to collect 4 pretty full plates (my son couldn’t finish his fish and chips, for a child portion it was very big which is pretty good, just to much for my 5 year old), she asked if everything was ok, my mother in law then complained about her curry, we felt guilty complaining about the whole meal, but Ild imagine seeing all these full plates coming back, would suggest we weren’t overly happy. The price of the curry was taken from the final bill. Maybe we caught the bad straw for the day which is a shame, we left pretty hungry and stopped for a McDonald’s! The ladies however were brilliant!

Whilst there is no children's menu the light bite section covers a good selection when we bring the children. This place does get busy so best to prebook if your wanting premium times...

I found this pub on Trip Advisor when looking for somewhere near Kings Lynn and was so pleased I did. The staff are lovely, the food is very tasty and it is reasonably priced. There were 4 of us and we all had different meals and every meal was great . I personally can highly recommend the Stilton mushrooms as a starter, they were delicious and the warm toast spot on. It is also spotlessly clean, which is a must for me.I would definitely recommend this pub for all of the above reasons.

There was nothing overally wrong with the pub just nothing stood out either.Positives - nice food, clean toilets, dog friendly, plenty of parking. Negatives - one worker I noticed like to pet the dogs and bought out dog biscuits but she was also the same lady who served the food. They also quite clearly preferred dogs over children as there was no kids menu so we had to pay over £7 for the smallest fish & chips they did which was a ridiculous size for my young son.Half the restaurant is casual, the other half is old fashioned table cloths and napkins folded up decoratively. Certainly attracting the OAPs!I probably wouldn't return on the basis of wasn't overally kid friendly and just not my style at all.

We arrived early and sat out in the garden having a drink. The restaurant was busy (thought that's a good thing) we sat down for our meal and nothing but perfect service very polite and EVERY meal came out correctly and all together (we were a group of 10) sometimes meals come out wrong or have a bit of wait at other places we have been to as a group. We all planned to go back to the lodge and have a few drinks after but we were all full up from the meal. Everyone complemented on the quality and quantity of the food. Amazing place highly recommended. Well done to all the staff.

Have eaten at carpenters many many times in the past, every time we go back it’s just as we remember. Best Sunday roast for miles, when we do get chance to go out, wouldn’t think to go anywhere else, the gravy and roast potatoes are to die for, never ever disappointed in the quality of the amazing food, not just Sunday roasts, we have been for weekday meals too! Good all rounder... although you must go and try the roast... followed by the sticky toffee pud! YUM! Just thinking about it makes me want to go back!

Went out for lunch with parents today. NEVER AGAIN. Two of us ordered braised beef, mash and veg from the 'specials' board. The beef was inedible, neither of us could even cut the meat with a steak knife. It tasted awful and really chewy.The veg had a strange taste to it. Hence 99% of the meal was left.

I eat here fairly regularly and have NEVER had a bad meal. Most recently I went on the quiz night and had the courgette risotto off of the Specials board and it was epic ... so delicious and plenty of it. A friend I was with had chilli nachos and the portion they got was huge and also very delicious (I nicked some). Lovely atmosphere and always good service. A definate recommendation from me if you're looking for somewhere that serves excellent food for a very decent price.

Went to the Carpenters for the first time in a while a few weeks ago and it didn’t disappoint. I had a Pie which was one of the specials and the flavour was just fantastic. I went again yesterday, a last minute decision to have a roast with my partners family. On a busy Sunday they delivered as they always do with an amazing roast. Would definitely recommend this to anyone if you’re looking for one of the best Sunday roasts.

Our first visit and it was accidental as we were hungry and passing, late (ish) on a Saturday night. From the moment we stepped in, we were made to feel very welcome, ordered drinks and asked for a table which we were shown to. The bar area was very warm and well attended. Waiting staff were very attentive and the food was hot and tasty. Fairly standard pub menu but that suited us perfectly with nothing pretentious or fancy, pub food well done. Very reasonably priced, good portion sizes and friendly customers too! Waiting staff who genuinely seemed to care whether we were enjoying the food or not. Offered desserts even though the kitchen would have been closing. The only negative for us was that it is so far from where we live that we can't visit more often. Would like to come back.

Second visit for a Sunday roast.Bar service good. Drinks good. Very disappointing. Beef very tough. Complained, they did bring some more, which was marginly better. Waiting to be asked what, if anything, we wanted for dessert. All four of us had decided what we were going to have. Waited 30 minutes and finally gave up. Complained yet again when paying the bill. He did apologise. However the lady who takes orders was not that bothered as walked past us twice without saving a word of apology, as she was clearly not on the ball as it should have been her job to know who was still waiting for service. Another customer commented in car park when we left that beef was tough but had no problems with service. Clearly they care more about regulars than possible retuning customers as I can assure you we will not be returning to this establishment. Gone down hill completely.

Visited this pub many years ago while on holiday, so happy when family told me we were holding a big family get together there, that's where my happiness stopped. On arrival I asked for a shandy, only to be given 2/3 of a glass of lemonade topped up with lager and another drink in a dirty glass, nory these thing wodnt worry me but working in the same business highlights this, the lady who was supposed to be looking after us was rude, very cold and not very attentive, when handing out meals she decided to argue about a meal that had been ordered, instead of changing it just stood looking at us, we decided to take the meal. £11.25 for scampi, chips and peas, frozen chips, half decent scampi and dehydrated boiled to hell peas, I expected better. I add we were a 17 person group, we dared to ask for another slice of meat for the children as their meal only came with one slice, this was shown on the end bill, with 2 slices totalling £1.50, as 2 special birthdays were being celebrated we had our own cake, no plates were provide but cheap paper napkins to hand it out in. Total lack of care, no professionalism and certainly nothing to make me want to go back.

We had booked a table for five a few weeks in advance, because as it was a special occasion , we definitely wanted to make sure we got a table. We did phone up a few days before, just to make sure things were going to plan. Anyway, we were booked in for Good Friday, as it was the actual day of the birthday too. My Brother and Sister-in-law, who now live on the other side of the country, were pleasantly surprised by The Carpenter's Arms. It has been given a makeover since he last went in when he live here. Anyway, 3 of the 5 had haddock, chips and mushy peas. Brother and sister-in-law were pleasantly surprised by the generous portion of haddock, I had my "almost" standing order, the smoky chicken melt (aka Hunter's Chicken). Fabulous as usual. Mum had scampi, chips and garden peas, as it was Good Friday. Despite getting full by the main course, which surprised my brother, who couldn't believe how full he was, we did have some desserts. My brother can be fussy and picky, but was amazed by the quality of the food. He's travelled the world and yet had not tried sorbet before. He tried The Carpenter's Arms blackcurrent sorbet. Very refreshing. My sister-in-law thought so, too. The Birthday Boy himself had a cinnamon waffle with ice cream.. Mum had a mango sorbet, which she has had before. It is her favourite. I had a delicious pink gin. Overall, terrific meal. Great, friendly service.

Spent the weekend close by and popped in on the Friday for light lunch which was lovely so we decided to book Sunday lunch. Good job we booked as it was veg busy which is a good sign. Our party of 8 had different lunches few of us had the roasts which was very good, a few had fish and chips which where large, curry and lasagne also looked very good. Everyone enjoyed their food. Would highly recommend a visit.

As roadside pubs on the main road go this pub is well worth a stop. It’s quite a nice large pub inside with plenty of tables & the staff are pleasant food I feel is average pub food at average prices.

We have eaten at the Carpenters both lunch and Dinner never ever had a poor meal or poor service, their Roast dinners are of first class. Waiters and waitress are ALL friendly and helpful, with a good sense of humour, but one did say that I had a striking resemblance to. Joe Pasquale, pleased the wife.

This is the 3rd time I’ve been here for a roast, every time it’s spot on. It’s not fancy fine dining, its a lovely traditional roast with excellent meat, potatoes, Yorkshires, vegetables and gravy. And the price is more than reasonable. Highly recommended

Took my sister and brother in law for a lovely Sunday roast today. Booked a week ago as they travelled from Cambridge. Could not fault the food, service and cleanliness. Arrived early but the table was ready, ordered drinks and they also took our food order. Within 10 mins we all had a plate of delicious home made roast dinner. Very reasonable priced will definitely be visiting again.

I don’t normally leave reviews but read some of the previous stuff and had to laugh out loud from idiots that were clearly after something for nothing. We had a wonderful meal with 8 friends. The staff were lovely, we couldn’t eat it all but still ordered deserts that were amazing!! A wonderful find, all of us couldn’t find anything to fault, will definitely be back. Lovely friendly place. Highly recommended A******

We stopped here on our way from Peterborough to Norwich for a bite to eat. We could tell from the car park it was popular and we hadn’t booked however the staff were welcoming and very accommodating, they did their best to find a way to fit our party of four in somehow! The food was great, the option of a smaller sized portion of a roast was welcomed by my elderly parents and the desserts were traditional and tasty. We were particularly impressed by the extra gravy that was brought to the table without us requesting it and the friendliness and efficiency of all the staff despite them being extremely busy.

This venue is a traditional pub that serves good food. It's always reliable and reasonably priced. We tend to go there when we just want a nice and comfortable evening with no fuss. And they always deliver. It is quite popular and you may not get a table unless it's pre booked. I have it on speed dial...
