the centurion public house in Great Yarmouth

We went in tonight for a couple of drinks and we could smell the beautiful food smell. So we ordered An unplanned meal (a new option on the menu ‘black rock’ menu ) and it’s one of the nicest meals I’ve ever had. It was a steak with a twist. You cook your own steak on a hot rock and it was absolutely beautiful. We are a miller and carter fan but I think this has topped it. This is now my new favorite.

Absolutely fabulous black rock grill steak tonight and it was amazing. Large meals, fab service and would highly recommend. Lovely landlady and staff.

We decided to give their black rock grill a try as every thing about it ticked all the boxes for a girls night out. We sat down and took out Coates off it was cold all 5 of us their was only us in the restaurant on a Friday night. We told the staff and her reply was it’s not cold 🥶 n here it’s 21 degrees!!! Which was her response trust us 5 of us were all cold. I had already asked if I could have prawns and scallops as a main dish, it came out without anything else to which her response was their side dishes !! Started to try and cook but there was not enough heat on my rock, all the other girls rock was sizzling, so I took my half cooked fish off the rock, and put back with others. Told the waitress that’s the rock not hot enough which she then told me they are all heated to a certain temperature, and walked off, which I excepted. Then another rock turned up with the angry chef who attitude was as bad as the waitress, I pointed out that I was not going to use the new rock as my half cooked fish was on my plate next to the fresh fish, which they both thought was ok !!!! The staff attitude was not professional, this put my friends off their meal.

Had the black rock menu tonight! It was delicious!! Everyone eats the steak at their own liking and service fab!! Just what Caister needs! Please try!! Well worth it and value for money!

Not good for dogs ran out of water. Drink prices compared to Great Yarmouth which we visited were astronomical. Will not be going back. Spoke to a few friendly people though. Maybe could empty the one ashtray outside. More cigarettes on the floor. Not nice.

Great pint, Great pub food Great atmosphere, with friendly helpful staff and now a new food menu as well

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.

After spending a week in Caister we used The Centurion on several occasions and even after spilling beer wile watching football, Also had a nice afternoon playing Pool we fount Karen & Staff most professional.

We arrived thinking this was a restaurant but was mistaken. Sadly we were too late to order food so settled for some drinks. It was quiet but the bar lady was friendly and helpful.

The food was good for what it was, meat pie and mash. We felt the service was done as if we were hindering them. There was no atmosphere, while the place looks good from the outside the inside is rundown.

Nice pub great beer garden but the customer service is terrible woman behind bar with grey hair with a clip in it doesn't crack a smile no please thank you as if she doesn't want to be there. We had 2 drinks and left. You can't run a pub if you can't be bothered with your customers!!

Absolutely amazing food, large portions for a good price!

Went for a meal today the food was wonderful, the land lady made you feel very welcome highly recommend the pie and mash,good selection on menu

Stayed local and decided as a family to go for a meal. Drinks were alot cheaper than the resort and when I commented on it, no response from barlady. Placed the food order and the atmosphere was letting the pub down. Felt like barlady didn't want to be there. My food was fine, burger yet stepdaughters Chilli con carne had a hair in. Made barlady aware. Pool table was closed and when asked if it was available was told after dinner time, but no time given. Had to ask, what time is that. Overall food OK, drinks very reasonably priced, atmosphere, none.

Found a hair in my food, no atmosphere and the staff were miserable. wouldn’t even give it 1 star!

Doesn't feel as good as it once was!

So the food was average tops. However the entire experience was marred by the lady behind the bar with curly hair who failed to crack a smile throughout our visit. The last time I visited she was the same. Sharp to the point of rudeness, no smile, nothing. I asked for a desert spoon. She said she had a tea spoon I asked for a larger spoon.... Do you meet it right now ? I'm like yes I do. I was with 3 guys with learning difficulties and one needs a spoon to eat. My colleague tried to explain later why we needed a spoon and she walked away, there was no acknowledgement or anything. I literally have no idea why people like this work in hospitality. I then heard her be rude to the next customer over a glass of wine. Id have thrown it at her. If this is her pub then I would avoid going, if this is her job then her manager needs to transfer her to the local prison where her conduct and manners and general demeanor would be better suited. Everything was too much trouble and ..... When we left she stood at the bar Infront of us , no other customer and she failed to thank us ..... Buggered if was thanking her . If you wish to see the most miserable woman in the UK go to the centurian.

I don't want to be horrible but it's not the type of pub I tend to go to. It's a 70s? box with a bar with a huge carpark (translation for the yanks parking lot).

I visited here to vote in the local elections. Okay as a polling station. Can't comment on the food, service etc.

The staff were friendly, the food was hot and freshly made. Definitely worth a visit.

We popped in to watch the football while we were on holiday. The staff are so friendly and made us feel very welcome. The pub was clean and comfortable, and we had a lovely night . The food truck in the car park had log burning cooked pizzas which topped the night off . There is a list on the wall for the food trucks and the have different ones visiting.

While visiting we had a meal, I had cod and chips, half the chips were half cooked and hard, my husband had a chilli nicely presented, basically just pub grub, pub and toilets nice and clean

Fair food at a fair price. Building a little dated and small inside. Limited menu, but whatever you choose will be cooked well, served well, large portion size. It has its own carpark. It is all one single level therefore accessible to all.

Fantastic pub, great staff and the food was so fresh and tasted great! Look forward to bring more friends here again. Thank you Karen!

Really liked the fresh scratchings

Family of 12 for lunch. The food was incredible and great value for money. Really good portion size. Would definitely recommend.

Awful atmosphere not welcoming at all.

Oh dear god, how to not welcome people the bar had 8 people in it, 6 more walk in and get told don't stand in the bar I need to serve people. Hmm plenty of room I think. Then another 8 people from our group walk in and get told they can't play darts unless they buy drinks. So all in all 14 people leave. Loss of revenue £££

I didn't have any food but have heard its good

Good grief! It had to be the worst Sunday lunch in the UK? We popped in as we were staying nearby, the beef meat was warmed by the gravy, but fair! Alas it went down from there! hard baked roast potatoes with dry interior Hard and dry, baked. I'll leave it there! BUT It was awful!

Not A Very Good Pub No Stella BEER, No Smoking Shelter

Six of us popped in for a few drinks & a bit of supper. All our food came out piping hot & was superb. Friends tried out the new platter, fabulous. Large portions so you’ll never leave hungry. Great value for money, looking forward to our next visit.

Been 2 Sundays running , very friendly, good atmosphere, nice clean pub

The landlady was very rude ,she shouldn't run the place moaned about a lamp dirty place also needs a good paint and clean up

As it was Sunday, all 4 of my family members had roast dinner as this was all that was available. Honestly it was the worst roast dinner any of us have eaten. I had beef and it was very tough! There was swede on the plate which had WAY too much pepper in it. There was a strange mixture of red cabbage and sultanas which was very odd and tasteless. We could hardly even cut the roast potato's. The stuffing had a nice taste but was sliced like fruit loaf and was tough. There were boiled baton carrots and peas with it too which were very bland. This really was a disappointment!! Our plates went back still pretty much full. Would NOT recommend it at all!

Visited the centurion while staying at one of the local holiday parks, only went to the centurion after reading other reviews and can honestly say you wont be disappointed. Food was really good, Mixed grill and the sirloin steak big portions and value for money. Will definitely call again when holidaying in the area.

Really surprised by the quality of the pool table and 50p per play. We intend to return. We didn't eat here this time.

Sunday lunch is a staple in the UK, it has been cooked for many years, its hard to mess several items up on one plate! So popping in for a lunch we were told only Roast on sunday menu, and we selected a roast beef & roast pork, this was not on their web site but we were happy, so far- It came up looked odd a flat Yorkshire sulking as it was stodgy & un-risen just out of a pop over pan, matched by the odd looking sage & onion stuffing this was an exceptional one crafted to look like a ice hockey puck and had the same consistency pretty inedible as I only had a knife & fork normally as a blacksmith it would be no problem but i tried, the mushy swede (I think?) bland, now roast potatoes, plenty crisp alas the fluffy normally found inside was mostly missing, one good point the beef was ok, quite good the peas like Norma's greyish. I cant recommend it, so far off target it needed a warning & this is it!

Good beer and excellent food at good prices

Brilliant food, fantastic service, brilliant atmosphere best dinner I’ve had in Castor and value for money

Karen and Dave and Jo are amazing and they do wonderful food and I do love the Ice cream sundaes 🍨 Love from your special friend Luke xxxxx

Good food. Good place to watch football, 2 min walk from haven holiday camp and a quiz on a sunday

Nice range of drinks..,. Barmaid not very personable.

Had family lunch here, large portions for adults, tasty food, kids sized portions, separate areas for dining, although there is a bar in the dining room there is a separate bar with sports TV shown. I would recommend

Great place My mums local always go There when we visit this time went with My best mate who absoulty love it red hot and plentiful food dogs Welcome

Went as a family of 7 for an evening meal and would highly recommend. Food was delicious and lots of it, portions are huge and well worth the very reasonable price. Fabulous service and lovely friendly bar staff 🥂🍻

Polite staff meals was cooked to perfection and nice large portions would definitely go again

Absolutely lovely food, extremely generous portion, cooked perfectly and for a fantastic price. The reason for my 1 star rating is the owners attitude to our family. She made us feel extremely unwelcome and was condescending throughout our evening. A real shame as the waitress tried really hard and the afternoon bar staff 2 days previously were lovely.

We have always enjoyed our visits to the Centurion, until this year. Our family was made to feel very unwelcome by the lady behind the bar. It was as if she didn't want children in the bar area. Food was out of the question. No children only tables. No children could play pool. She refused to turn up the volume on the TV. If you have children, consider going elsewhere for food and drink.

Quantity over quality meat was over cooked plate filled with chips. Full of locals not very friendly, kept look at us all the way through dinner felt uncomfortable. I wouldn't recommend this place.

Decided to leave the haven caravan sight for a pub meal for two sets of couples walked in and got the coldest reception, the lady that said she owned the place said that one of us had looked at her in a funny way 😂 which definitely did not happen which lead to her being very rude to us and making us feel very uncomfortable so we bought one drink and left and never got food and the way she was with us all it sounded like she could be bothered to cook anyway. I did go back in after my drink and said I didn’t think her customers service skills were very good and asked why she was so rude to which she told me that I had looked at her funny and I told her she was wrong but again was very rude to me , definitely won’t be going back there and the lady missed out on a large bill .

Lovely food big sizes and cheap

Great pub food was great portions we're large

Visited when stuck between Caister and Yarmouth due to buses not running after a car crash. Just what we needed, massive food portions, great value (£50 for family of 4 including alcoholic drinks!) and it was lovely fresh home made food 👌🏼 served by bar and kitchen staff who couldn't do enough to make our visit any more pleasurable. Thank you 👏🏼

I live locally so took my family to try the food. WOW!!! Fresh, steak cooked to order and very generous portions. We all enjoyed the food and the friendly staff. A really pleasant evening and very reasonable prices.

Was sceptical about going here as it didn't look the most welcoming of places but I was so wrong!! Was given a lovely warm welcome and whilst the selection of beers wasn't as wide as some pubs I've been in, there was still enough of a range to find something decent. The food is the best thing about this place though. I had the mixed grill and the wait was long enough to prove that it was freshly cooked. The portions were absolutely massive and it tasted superb. This pub is a perfect example of not judging a book by its cover. If you find yourself in Caister then you should definitely pop in

Family and dog friendly pub with lovely and friendly staff. Portion sizes were unbelievable. Food quality was good and so much better than the Haven site

Didn't eat there, hardly anyone in so little or no atmosphere, surprising as 1st Sunday of school holidays

Wow, such friendly staff, ordered meals which didnt have to wait long for service, never seen so much on a plate, real good value for money will def come again to here

Good quality food and reasonable prices 👌

Just had Sunday dinner and it was absolutely gorgeous would definitely recommend it 😊

Lovely roast dinner was nice and fresh and home made and come out lovely and hot. Would def recommend for a lovely roast dinner

Great food etc, and it's a 5 minute walk from home. 🙂

Staying at haven and decided to give this pub a go. Wow amazing meal. Portions so big. Salmon new potatoes and 3 veg. Steak and Ale pie new potatoes and 3 veg. Half a chicken and chips. Everyone throughly enjoyed they meal. Bar staff lovely and friendly. Very nice pub highly recommend

Very friendly atmosphere and lovely place for a drink and dinner

Only went in for a couple of pints. Good beer and friendly service. Quiz night on Sunday. Worth a visit.

On holiday came across this place which was really nice. Layout very good big place. Food was unbelievable portions we're huge and excellent value for money. Bar staff very friendly. Fully recommended

Where do l start, after leaving our holiday camp in Caister on sea we took a nice stroll to the Centurion public house which was approximately 300 yards away. After a couple of pints we decided we would try the food and we were in for a treat. We both ordered the mix grill and the portions and quality were amazing and great value at just £17.95 each. The staff were friendly and attentive and well worth a visit and not to mention the hand pulled beers 😊

Great meal plates where cleared red hot and huge portions

Big portions hot food very tasty friendly staff polite aswell best food in caster on sea and clean dog friendly and kid friendly

Best food we've had all week thank you.

Didn't have food but from what I saw being bought out looks value for money. Pity I can't say the same for the drinks. Living in the Great Yarmouth /Caister area feel that the drinks are very over priced. There is a large car park. Toilets clean. Beer garden.

Very disappointed I thought this was supposed to be a family friendly pub/restaurant, but the few times I’ve been usually Friday evenings the clientele is much to be desired, firstly you have a small group in there obviously regulars with their very noisy dogs , and themselves also very loud , rude and obnoxious. The language is quite often offensive especially with children present and the bar manager who is a female laughs it off as clearly they are friends. I think a pub that it so close to a big campsite could do so much better than this the food isn’t great mostly microwaved and I’ve often had to complain but it seems to just get shrugged off , such a shame because with the right staff and get rid of the obnoxious individuals it would be a really good place so No would not recommend it to anyone

Very welcoming place, good service great food 👌

Friendly local pub that serves nice food. Had the hunters chicken which was a very good portion size and the chicken was very succulent. Will definitely eat there again when we visit the area next

Had Sunday roast it was really good quality plenty iwill go back they use two have a carvery that's was not bad nice and friendly staff recommended 😔

Lovely pub. Friendly staff and pleasant beer garden. Loved the summer hazy IPA which they had on.

Lovely food, loads of it don't need to order extras very pleased with the meals we had.The price is really good also

Excellent food and enjoyed our 3 visits staff also very welcoming and friendly

Excellent food , excellent service and dog friendly....what more could you ask for

First time here - food amazing - quick service - reasonably priced, all cooked to our liking and all hot, proper chunky chips,

Visited The Centurion while we were staying down in Casiter-On-Sea the food was so good we went back the second evening! Staff went above and beyond for our little ones the owner went out of her way to the wholesalers to get some ice-cream so they could have dessert when we visited the following evening. Food I couldn't fault at all, first evening we had Lasagne and a Mixed Grill which were both very tasty! Second evening we had Salmon and Half a rack of ribs which were equally as tasty! Definitely recommend and we will 100% be back again.

Great food excellent service eaten here 4 times over the last 4 years no complaints even went out of there way to get ice cream for the children

Nice little pub, the landlord and landy lady couldn't be more welcoming.

Decent food for a decent price Good selection of drinks and on draft . Staff very friendly and was good that dog was dog friendly indoor Beer garden looks excellent but we didn't use it this time . I think this gives you decent value...

Great service and delicious food. Huge potion sizes. We had the chicken schnitzel special amd the rack of ribs. Highly recommended. Very friendly staff and customers

Pop in yesterday for fish and chips I can quite honestly say the chefs special cod in beer batter and chips were the worse fish and chips I had ever had 1 Star is 1 Star to many

Excellent pub food and decently priced

Children's playground needs a bit of maintenance

called prior to book a table, but was told to just show up and they would pull some tables together. but when the 8 of us went in for dinner but were greeted by rude staff who said 'are you just here to use the toilet then?' there were no tables for us when we arrived. poor

Good beer, garden could be better sheltered from wind and traffic noise

Went with my mother who lives across the road for a family dinner also took the dog which can go inside . Great menu and food was hot and the right portions not overloaded your new chef is a keeper

11 of us went in for Sunday lunch and were not disappointed. The food was fantastic as was the service. There was not not one complaint about the food, in fact everyone of the party was complementary. Very highly recommended.

Friendly lady behind the bar ...large open plan bar. Very big carpark

Popped in here in between looking at properties. Seemed to be used by quite a few people and different clubs during the week. Slimmers world use it as a base during the week. Also.handy for holiday makers as caravan park nearby. Friendly bar maid. Will return

Really nice pub great atmosphere and staff amazing

I visited a couple of weeks ago. It was the first time in years. I originally thought It was closed, but the door was open and I walked in to a very quiet and dark pub with no atmosphere. Much different to when I was there before (holiday). I van remember it being such a lively place with food and entertainment. Not sure if it was under new ownership or just the time of year. On a plus side.. the lady behind the bar was very welcoming and friendly and the beer was good.

Moved to Caister on sea recently, landlord and landlady could not have been more welcoming. Fantastic staff too. Food highly recommended and a perfect pint.

What a lovely pub was so warm and welcoming, the staff was polite and best of all they let us sing football chants all night xx

Had a lovely time chanting football chants with a warm welcoming from the landlord and land lady. Thank you Centurion!
