The Fisherman's Inn in Great Yarmouth

Went for a meal this evening which was excellent with stunning views across the river. Staff and management make you feel most welcome. Will be returning again very soon

The lunch was very nice. A warm welcome. Cobwebs in the main area. Staines around walls, tables needs cleaning after every customer. Toilet cobwebs no toilet paper in one cubicle. Needs to be checked regularly. Does need more staff on especially in the bar area, customers queing to be served. Only one lady serving.

Beautiful location, lovely staff, great place for a drink. Came here for food. Food terrible And it’s not the first time I’ve been here in the last month. I really wish they would sort out their menu.

The food in this place is amazing, it is reasonable priced and very good quality. The fish and chips are great and the hunters chicken was fabulous. Drinks are reasonably priced too.

Amazing fish and chips as described on the menu. With a comfortable atmosphere and great staff. Definitely a must if you’re in the area.

Lovely pub with great views of the river . Staff were very friendly and prices were reasonable. Great place for a drink when the weather is nice

Interesting location, with a beautiful outside eating area facing the broads. Not what I was expecting, but after a long walk around Burgh Castle, a worth while stop for a cold pint!

Came in for lunch on a chilly damp day. Food fabulous. Just what was needed today, a hearty beef stew in a giant Yorkshire. Get the coats on and get here. OK it’s off main route, but the log fire, food and good beer makes it worth a trip.

Visted the Fishermans Inn twice whilest staying at a caravan site near by. Had a great lunch and dinner. Great price for food and drink and the staff really helpful and welcoming. Views are amazing, great place to watch the sunset. We'll be returning next summer.

This pub is AMAZING!! Live music outside, decent pub food, amazing views and crabbing!! We had two children with us aged 8 and 5 and they had the best afternoon! Such friendly staff and again the most amazing views 😊

Lovely meal, dog friendly, reasonably priced. We visited whilst staying at Parkdean caravan park which was just a short walk away

Popped in here to check food serving times and the menu before walking along the river to Burgh Castle. Later we found an outdoor table with a lovely view of the river and boats passing. Food was fabulous. Combo burgers came with a large portion of chips, peas, salad and coleslaw. The chilli dish with garlic bread was especially nice. The kids enjoyed their food too. Very enjoyable. Pleasant staff and a nice atmosphere.

Lovely table by the river. Food was good and the service good. Lovely pint of Adnams Ghost Ship. Definitely worth a visit.

Lovely place hidden away. The service was great, the food was yummy and good selection of drinks. Lovely views to see. It's not too expensive and just right. We enjoy our dinner here, and definitely coming back. Definitely recommend.

Wow just wow we went here for something to as family of 8 what a stunning little place excellent food amazing views and very friendly service if we ever this way again we will definitely be coming again

Read quite a lot of negative reviews regarding this place but I have to say that this was not our experience at all, lovely outside seating area, very friendly attentive staff and excellent freshly cooked food. We had the fish and chips, absolutely delicious, obviously can’t say more about the other food on the menu but what we saw going to other tables looked lovely. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and look forward to returning ourselves.

Great location overlooking the broads on a nice, sunny evening. Staff were friendly (with the exception of the manager) and service was really quick. Sadly wouldn’t recommend the food but nice spot for a drink.

We visited here last week for dinner. I had the fish burger and my partner had lasagne. It was brilliant, hot, fresh, tasty and excellent service. We came back a couple of days later with the dog and sat outside watching the boats go by and just had drinks. Again, excellent service in a fantastic location. Highly recommend and thank you to the team working there.

Really good home cooked food. Amazing views and friendly staff. Highly recommend. Lots of space and very clean.

Great little find whilst on our camping holiday. Short walk from Park Dean resort. A little pub, with great views across the river. The food was lovely and even had food for dogs on the menu! Would highly recommend it.

I popped in mid walk with my granddaughter for a drink. It was a beautiful day to sit outside and take in the stunning views and watch children crabbing with their parents. The outdoor seating area was comfortable and pleasing to the eye. The staff were friendly and there was no pressure to buy food or more drinks

From the moment we moored to the moment we left it felt a little awkward. We moored at around 11:45 to be greeted by a rather miserable looking lady smoking a cigarette. (She also had a staring problem). At around 12pm we entered the pub and were greeted by what can only be described as a grumpy bloke, we ordered drinks and sat down to read the menu. The food we ordered was your standard poor quality pub grub, frozen chips, greasy food etc etc. Once we'd finished our meals I went to the bar to order another pint and apple crumble, I was told that even though the pub had been open over an hour at this point that the crumble wasn't cooked, no option for us to wait until it was cooked, just told we can't have it. Felt very unwelcome from start to finish, which is annoying as we visit the beautiful broads for at least 4 weeks a year and spend quite a substantial amount in the pubs.

Visited here twice on this holiday ,mainly friends we were with wished to go and like the view and area. I have been here several times before when on holiday . Outside seating is available plenty of comfortable seating if weather is good. One area...

Went there a month ago food was lovely. we returned this week food was only warm my friend had a jacket potato as well and both the same only eat a little a portion told waitress she said sorry that was all we are local...

Very friendly pub used by locals and visitors from the many caravan sites.Dog friendly and had bonus of watching a lovely sunset.Did not get to try the food but it did look delicious and had larger portions.

We were having a walk and stumbled upon this hidden gem along the waterway. It looked really unassuming from the outside but inside we were greeted with a friendly welcome, large spacious interior and lovely views from the garden area. Fisherman’s burger and scampi were...

Beautiful place enjoyed a few drinks on the decking area watching the boats go past. Was lovely I then had a couple of games of pool with my son. I have just read the reviews previous and one was bad review from someone who stayed...

The very loud music spoils the tranquil area. We moored along the river and the bass music booming out well after 10pm kept children awake. Seemed to be a rowdy pub not family friendly. Sadly not recommended unless you want a loud club type evening.

From the response to comments made previously on here it is obvious that the owner/manager does not take criticism well. This is a shame as I have to say that the food leaves a lot to be desired. I ordered quiche which came as a...

The menu is simple, but the food we received was very well presented and great value for money. We were a table of 8 walk in but the service was still prompt even though service was busy. Nice location and ideal for families

A bit off the beaten track but what a fantastic find. Overlooking the river and marshes what better way to enjoy a pint as the sun goes down. The beer and food were good too.

We went here most nights to sit & chill for near the end of the day. Had lunch here on Sunday, I had the Lambs Liver with Bacon WOW. Lovely views & relaxed place good 90's music on.

Fab two nights spent with friends great staff very welcoming Will defiantly visit again Thankyou great find!

Second visit in two days, both times waited less than half hour after ordering food, good service, friendly staff and gorgeous location. New local for when we are visiting this way plus we will be telling everyone.

Due to our camp site next door at Breydon Waters being very high priced and not very enjoyable we decided to come here on the advice of locals. A lovely little pub beside the river Yare with stunning views and a very enjoyable atmosphere. The...

Had a week on Breydon Water, visited here twice during visit once for drinks and other for food and drinks. Weather was amazing so sat out side bothe time, fantastic view off broads. Good range of drinks especially Coors 👍🍻. Food was great, have no...

Excellent food at a very reasonable price. The pub has been made over with lovely decking on the waters edge. We had a light lunch whilst waiting for the ride to change to cruise into Great Yarmouth. We had a light lunch and some excellent...

Lovely pub. Traditional pub food with lovely terrace over looking the river. Combo burger is huge and a family favourite.

We parked in Belton and started walking the Angles Way towards the Roman Fort in Burgh Castle. We passed peacocks, horses and had a great view of the river and the marshes. We spotted people crabbing and also this Inn which had tables on their...

The landlord was beyond belief with his rudeness. My blind son suffered a seizure in the car park of the pub , so we were three minutes late arriving to eat. He said it was hard luck, it is now three minutes past seven and...

Phoned to book a table but was informed that they don't take bookings it's walk in only, but I was assured there would be tables free for two people. Very busy and noisy but tables free at about 18.00. My cod and chips was good...

Friendly service. Yes it’s not gourmet, but it is priced right. The waitress was clear about the serving times. It also had free mooring, what more could you want😁

There are some good things about The Fishermans Inn. It has a roof which is great because it was raining.  At one point a man walked past with a lovely greyhound.  I think that's about it but I'll be back if I remember anything else....

Table had not been wiped before we sat down (COVID doesn’t matter in here ) , dirty cutlery which I asked can I have another fork staff looked at it gave me another one no apology, jacket potato not cooked through, hair in dessert couldn’t...

Told they stopped serving food at 7pm, had our main meal, it was ok nothing to write home about but OK. The server delivered our dessert menus about 10 to 7. We tried to order our puddings at 7.02, to be told they close the...

All I can say is perhaps there has been change of management recently, visited the premises and was underwhelmed with the quality of the food and the attitude of what I think was the lady manager The recent reviews say it all and is so...

Really looked forward to visiting the Fishermans Inn with its views of the Norfolk Broads, but sad to say what a disappointing menu. Very little choice - we both opted for fish and chips - which was fine, but expected to see more variety. It...

Nipped in with some friends but wished didn’t bother In inviting unwelcoming not worth the long walk

Amazing place can't believe how well it has changed in a few years got the be the best pub on Norfolk broads I have visited. Lovely staff very efficient and very quick! Food was excellent! 10\10 Mooring 100%! Would loved to of stayed all day!...

Today we decided to take our dog to Burgh Castle for a walk. This was our first visit to The Fishermans Inn even though we are fairly local. The food was excellent I can recommend the combo burger & the mince pie with gravy. The service was fast & food hot. The waitresses were very friendly & polite. We felt totally safe with all covid measures in place. We shall visit again now we know where the Inn is situated. Everyone said goodbye to us except 1 person which added to the friendly atmosphere. Well done.

Enjoyable place to sit and relax , excellent service , relaxing place have visited here a number of times in the past , nice outdoor seating area , well organised re restrictions

We went to the Fisherman’s Inn by recommendation. The first time we tried, we asked for a menu only to be told, they were rushed off their feet and had stopped taking orders for food at 6pm. It was ten past six and not very full. Although we thought it poor, we decided to give lunch a try a couple of days later. We both ordered a baguette each and a side bowl of chips. As is normal we were asked if we’d like to order drinks which we duly did. After about twenty minutes we ordered another pint each and enquired about our baguettes. At this point we were told they were really busy and the food would be a forty minute wait. (For a ham baguette??}While we were waiting the table next to ours became occupied and their food was delivered within ten minutes. When we queried it the owner came out and instead of offering any kind of apology became very belligerent and in front of everyone told us we could have our money back if we didn’t like it. No customer service skills whatsoever. We obviously didn’t trust having food served by anyone with that sort of attitude so after a few words we left. We’ve eaten out regularly for most of our lives and I can’t think of a pub or restaurant run in such a shoddy manner. It’s lucky the bloke doesn’t run a brewery!Only go if you do

Very disappointed with our visit to The Fisherman’s Inn. Was served our drinks and asked if we’d like a menu, so we said yes we’re eating please. 40 minutes of waiting and our waitress walking past our table to serve other tables and still no menu. When we left we complained and was given a response of “Sorry but were busy”. The waitress walked past us twice, even looked to see if we needed more drinks. Too busy to not give you a menu is not good enough. Beautiful location just a shame about the staff

Great such nice food lovely view good to fish and skim stones e.t.c nice drink friendly staff and passers by on their boats lovely will wave to you the summer sun is just lovely nice drink kids enjoyed will be back for the 100th time again lol !

2nd year running we have visited Yarmouth during our October Half Term Break, last year we stumbled across this place, made to feel welcome straight away with a nice warm welcome, dog and children friendly. Ended up popping in every day. Headed straight here this year, it was like we'd just stepped into our local. Amazing service, massive choice of drinks and although we didn't eat the food looked and smelt lovely.

Came to a event here a year ago and made to feel like a total outsider. My boys talked us into giving place another go as they both used in the summer. So glad we did! We arrived a large group 3 households but we got 4 distanced tables in our own bit of pub. Signed in on arrival. Very helpful waitress, other customers were friendly. Can’t believe it’s the same pub we visited b4.Sorry we were abit loud but the younger members hadn’t seen each other for a while due to working abroad and of course lockdown. We will return when family visit again.

Food was great. Service excellent and the food was hot and tasty. But what made the visit even more enjoyable was the friendly and helpful staff. Nothing was to much trouble.

Lovely place to go its a must see even in rainy days, staff was amazing, brilliant social distancing, amazing view with an amazing decking area. Must say a lovely lunch having fish and chips, staff very clued up about broads and drinks from the local area.We will definitely be coming back again soon Thanks for the amazing hospitality credit to the broads

Decided to go here last week , as was staying in Burgh castle , Second visit here as had been here several years ago . Very quite but social distancing was in place , sensible lay out , clear exit and entry too .Lovely seating outside .Believe the food was very nice as had heard people remark about the food .

Absolutely amazing pub. Dog friendly. Beautiful views. Really nice food. Staff go out of their way for you at all times. Deffo visit again an again

Visited here a couple of times and have enjoyed a very high standard of food, cooked and served by friendly welcoming staff. Highly recommend a visit to here for food or just drinks as it’s alongside the water. Stunning views

Had a nice walk along the river with my family and stopped at the Fisherman's Inn as the sun was starting to go down. I had been before in the past when we had our boat moored up at Goodchild's Marina next door. Staff here are very welcoming and the food was all fine. Enjoyed a couple of beers while watching the sun go down on the newly updated terrace.

This is a fantastic pub in a great location. All the staff are friendly and helpful the beers are lovely and the food is great. I’ve been a few times now and never had a problem, it’s lovely give it a try I’m sure you’ll be happy

We visited the Fisherman's Inn for sunset views which were recommended by people at our camp site. The views are amazing! We had outside seats and watched the views whilst having some drinks. Really lovely chilled outside area :)

I recently visited the small establishment with my partner after a suggestion from her family. The drinks were reasonably priced (7.90 for a pint of ghost ship and a single gin and lemonade), it's not incredibly cheap but the view is worth the extra cost and the barman was extremely knowledgeable and helped my girlfriend pick a drink. We sat in the beer garden area which had some simple benches and some trees for shade (there is a terrace with proper seating but that seemed to be for food). Very pleased with our visit and will definitely go again before we leave the area.

The positive of this place is that it has a wonderful location overlooking the water.And prices don’t seem to be too bad.the beer garden is very pleasant but littered with fag buts. Not pleasant for my little one.The food is basic. We ordered fish and chips. Fish was nice, but the chips were terrible. Cheap oven chips that were barely cooked. Very poor. All served in takeaway cartons too (for convenience?) It seemed extremely busy with people from the local campsite, and although the location was picturesque it wasn’t particularly relaxing evening out.I was also feeling that they are not taking seriously enough social distancing, perhaps they should be limiting numbers, rather than packing in the punters? So overall - poor food. Very busy. Concerns of overcrowding a risk with Covid.

Walked down the river after a walk from burgh castle ruins and stopped for a drink but also ended up eating too. Staff were helpful and friendly. Limited menu for obvious reasons at the moment but we were happy with our meals. Good sized portions. Would stop here again.

Visited The Fishermans a few times across July. Lovely pub and welcoming staff.The one big problem is social distancing. There is a circular table in front of the bar that is right next to where you stand, both sides, to queue to be served. It has always been full, when I have been there, with locals, who have been up and down, walking by where I am queuing. It is too close and makes you feel uncomfortable. If they removed this one table (or put out of action) then it will open the area up and people would feel safer and appropriately socially disant.

We stopped off at the Fishermans Inn with our dog for a drink and some lunch. Dogs are allowed in the garden but not on the terrace which is annoying because the terrace offers an unhindered view through a glass barrier whereas the garden has a hedge which restricts some of the view. But we ordered a few drinks and sat along the norfolk broads enjoying what we could see of the fabulous view. Then we ordered some food and this is where it all went wrong. Due to covid the pub offers a limited menu. We ordered a burger and a quiche. Neither were nice at all, the beef burger didnt even taste of beef, it was a pink colour and tasted sweet, the chips were aweful and the quiche was cold, it had obviously just been taken out the fridge. It was definitely not homemade and tasted old. I understand that everyone has had to adjust to a new way of living but there is no excuse for serving poor quality food I feel like money has been stolen off me and that they are taking advantage of the view to sell a poor product. I will not go here again and I only hope that they can take on some of my review and improve on their service

We were staying at Breydon Water and took a walk to Burgh Castle and then back along the river to the Fisherman’s Inn. The two men serving were helpful and explained the way things were to work during Covid. We ordered drinks and sat outside on the lovely decking overlooking the water. After choosing lunch from the blackboard we went back inside and ordered a burger and chips, jumbo hot dog and chips and a cheese sandwich, this came to around £15, add the drinks to it (2 pints and a coke) and lunch came to around £25, bargain! Food service was quick, came in disposable packaging and was piping hot. Good old fashioned beef burger meal, real sausage in the hot dog which our daughter loved and almost managed to finish it all and a decent cheese sandwich. Nothing fancy, just good quality tasty food served in a very safe way. We will return to this hidden gem for lunch again when we return to the area, we were made to feel very welcome and it was lovely to sit by the river in the sunshine

Stoped for a drink cute little place with friendly staff worth visiting if you fancy a cold drink by the water.

We walked here from nearby Brendon Waters holiday Park and stopped to have a drink. We sat outside looking out over the river. It was very chilled and relaxed. Inside looked clean and tidy. W would visit again.

Fab pub right on the river. Great beer (Yarmouth Red) and good pub grub. Gonna while away a few hours here whilst on holiday 👍🏼

We found this lovely little pub by accident. Its on the Angels Way. It has great views, situated on River Waveney. Great sunset. Children crabbing having fun food great. Jay the barman was very friendly helping the novice fisherman and pouring a good pint. Well worth the visit.

Hired a day boat and stumbled across this no frills Riverside pub. Simple lunch time menu. Suitable for all pallets. Ample seating in garden and Riverside views. Friendly staff. Would definitely visit again if in the area.

Lovely pub and great view, not to be missed if you are in Norfolk. Fish and chip dinner very good portions and quick service. Friendly bar staff and 3 ales available. Dog friendly and ample parking.

Having read reviews visited while staying locally very disappointing as no food available on a Thursday also atmosphere not as welcoming as you would expect from a pub reliant on passing trade and holidaymakers staff more interested in televised horse racing than serving public from personal view would not be visiting again or recommendig

Have called into this place kastvyear and was fantastic service, sadly this time round the whole place is very click and rude / ignorant. Have never eaten here so won't judge on that, people in bar stop talking when u go in and make u feel very un welcome and that u are in the way, I think it was the owner who served us and won't say what I thought of him apart from plain ignorant. Land lady seemed pleasant mind... Great views of the sunset but sadly about as good as it gets

Arrived to a packed beer gdn and a clean looking pub but things quickly went down hill. Stood at bar barmaid says who’s next I go to giv her my order only for her to walk away and serve a gentleman who’s name she know! Finally served by a man we asked about ordering pie and mash. Was told when it’s ready we will announce it you will queue pay and then be served. Suddenly saw a queue forming and people walking away with tickets and barr staff getting people to the bar. Husband went to bar again he was ignored in favour of a regular. There was no veggie option it would have been easy to do a veggie pie! The actual meal was ok.The event was advertised on Facebook as a chas and Dave tribute band however it was 2 blokes who constantly said they didn’t know songs hadn’t practised and hadn’t sung them for 10 years very unprofessional . After playing for a short time they stoped to eat said they didn’t know any more songs and the staff said good now we can hav real music northern soul etc. We moved outside finished our drinks and left and went else we’re.Very disappointed as had come for a cockney evening. I’m much younger than the singer who claimed to be a eastenders but know more London songs than they sang.Was also not impressed to see dogs in bar especially as food was being served!We have a caravan local and are looking to the area now this pub is meant to be open all year round it could well have become our local but the welcome by staff has put us of. You will not gain more regulars if you treat people this way. Ignoring people once is bad enough but twice is unforgettable. With pubs closing weekly in the area you should welcome any customers and do as you advertised.

This has got to be the best pub in the area Cheap drinks and excellent food all home cooked and really tasty. The staff are very friendly and there’s a nice friendly atmosphere. Well worth a visit Plus it’s in a great location

We went here for lunch there was a limited menu but specials on a blackboard, food all cooked to order and good. There's a log fire in the bar which was needed this day and the owner kept topped up with logs. staff all friendly and helpful. disable access toilet well maintained and clean. Will be going again on our next visit to this area.

A lovely place right on the river side

Staying on a touring site nearby, saw the signs for the Fisherman's Inn and decided to walk down the lane and check it out. Very standard square building from outside, but inside it is clean and tidy with lovely views over the river. Beer is good .... local brewery choices ... and friendly staff. Well worth the visit.

We felt very welcome when popping in for lunch and a pint. Two real ales on (Ghost Ship and Timothy Taylor) and dog friendly. We had a baguette each that was tasty and well presented. Great view both from the windows and the garden.

Visited first time since refurbished. Whilst it has a new carpet and fresh paint the welcome was cold to say the least . Miserable choice of beers and only blended whiskey. No sign of any Menus . A pool table now plonked in the middle . Won’t rush back sadly .

The pub now has new managers open all year round dog friendly log fire lovely atmosphere cheap alcohol and food

We use the Fishermans lots in the summer, and was excited that it was opening again and staying open all year round, we arrived to the coldest of welcomes, the man behind the bar looked at us with disgust! And made us feel as we were not to even to be in there, big shame as we spend a lot in there in the summer very dissapointed.

First night open, nice friendly atmosphere, good food, and Ghostship on tap, lovely wood burner and has had a tasteful re-furbishment, a lovely local worth a visit, winter or summer.

It is really old fashioned pub style décor but the food is really good. Obviously being a fish fan I was spoilt for choice and the staff were helpful in that they let me mix the menu up a bit.

Seven people moored up for the night, nice food, fast service, large portions and friendly staff. Good pub grub, looks dated and needs some loving but knock the food, beer and staff.

Visited with another couple and two great grandchildren. Place is supposed to have been refurbished but not much sign of that apart from, perhaps, new carpeting. Expensive - £22 for two glasses of wine and four soft drinks. Staff friendly enough and it's a great location, right on the river and adjacent to a boatyard and a rather basic marina. But I have to say that it's not a watering hole I would visit on a regular basis, despite living only a short distance away. It seems to cater more for passing boat trade and holiday trade rather than having regular patronage. Nice garden area though very dry and lots of wasps about (hardly surprising this time of year!). Interior is rather dated - as I said, No real evidence of a refurb. Can't comment on food, but have eaten here before and recall it was pretty good.

The location and the staff were lovely and worth a visit if your going past or in the area.

quite country pub, right by the river, beautifuk setting, good beer, good food, lovely beer garden, well worth a visit

As above. Do not go if you are hungry and expecting good service. We were visiting the area and decided to treat ourselves. Hubby and daughter. It looked a little quiet, possibly about to close but I saw it was ipen all day. We asked if they were serving food as we went to eat just to be sure. They were but our order couldnt be taken as they had just taken large order (for 7 people!!) Shocked but thought will wait as wouldnt be that long, so they said. We got drinks after about 15 mins we had pretty much finished and were deciding if to stay as lil one getting restless and hungry. No one had come over to say we could order (i asked if this was ok and it was!) I went to the bar to take glasses back to see another familys order bing taken, they had literally just arrived!! Not happy. If you cant handle more than 1 table dont open a restuarant! good luck to you. You are never going to survive the restuarant trade. Shut up shop before shop shuts you! Ridiculous. Poor service. Lost customer for life. We do visit the area regularly and I would not recommend anyone visit this place even though the view is v peaceful. Very disappointed

Just visited this venue even though it was closed I wanted to leave a review as the beer garden had a splendid view! See my pictures.

Can’t fault the views from the beer garden. Beautiful. Great pub with fab food and drink. We’re local so we pop by a lot in the summer to enjoy the scenery and go crabbing. No idea of opening times... seems they’re shut some days and not others. Well hidden away and if signposted more clearly I’m sure it would pull in huge trade in the summer months.

Lovely lovely lovely we ate the lot and would definitely go again specials menu exceptionally nice best food we had on holiday!
