Excellent Christmas meal with friends, food was hot, plenty of fresh vegetables and the staff went above and beyond to provide an alternative to meat and dairy for me. Lovely decorations provided a lovely atmosphere.

The deco may not be contemporary, it may not have bistro cuisine but, if you want to step into an eatery that serves excellent homemade food that taste great, served with a friendly smile and jokey banter, all at a very reasonable price then we fully recommend it. All six of us had a smile at the end of the meal.

Really really good old school homemade food!! Hot, plentiful and really enjoyed it. My husband had the steak pie which looked great (he said it was really tasty!) I had the roast chicken which was also good! Knickabocker glory for pud (awesome!) but couldn’t decide because I liked everything on the menu! Lovely waitress, no fuss, no frills just great homemade food! Well done all!!

Appeared to be a family run business. The food was good if unexceptional. It was a bit of a misstep to semi-drown a decent cottage pie in gravy but it was a robust meal. Places like this deserve a steady footfall in these hard times and their prices were reasonable.

There are not many places that if you visit a town that you can get real home made food ,not microwave or frozen reheated food but real food. Today we had the pleasure of visiting SHERINGHAM,there we found this wonderful restaurant, when entering we were greeted by friendly staff who took our order,they advised us we would have a bot of a wait due to all food being cooked fresh. We waited 1/2 hour before our food arrived,they say you eat at first with your eyes before your taste buds kick in,this was certainly the case here. Wonderful what else can I say.

This place is in need of a makeover. It's very reminiscent of Fawty Towers. Still using an urn to boil the water!? This resulted in bad tasting tea. Goodness knows how long the water had been in there or when the filter was last changed. Old fashioned bar looked tired and in need of some love. The brie wedges were very nice though! Customer service could do with some life support/CPR

Stopped by for some lunch, sadly this was the only place to offer a place for 8 people. We only needed a quick bite for lunch but very disappointed with what we got for the cost. Over £6 for ham and cheese toastie but then was awful processed stuff. The cheese was the cheap square packet type. One of the toasties used the end slice of the loaf, shame also it was just a basic supermarket bread. I reckon I could’ve made the sandwich at home for less than £1. Totally overpriced and the dried salad didn’t help boost the value. I would’ve expected some crisps and maybe some dressing for £6. Another person had a cheese and pickle sandwich and had to go looking for the pickle. The soup for one individual was £6 again and came from a Heinz tin. Just a very very cheap set of ingredient trying to be passed off for a premium lunch. Four of us for lunch and probably the worst £35 I’ve spent in a long time. Don’t like leaving bad reviews but I would like to warn others in advance.

Looked everywhere in Sheringham for proper, no frills, nothing pretentious food, and this place ticked the boxes. No frills, maybe a bit dated inside but lady who served us was wonderfully friendly. Good hearty food. They even have cheesy chips!! (2 bowls ordered) reasonable prices too. We’d certainly go back there to eat rather than some places where is all style over substance.

Very handy location for the Sherringham end of the North Norfolk Railway. We were tempted in by the promise of toasted sandwiches. We were misled. What arrived were 2 slices of barely toasted bread, tepid ham and a square of plastic cheese that hadn't got warm enough to even pretend to start melting. The chips we had with it were good however. Maybe avoid the toasted sandwiches...

Visited here whilst on a weekend away in Sheringham. It wasn’t busy at all so had no trouble getting seated and ordering. We were served by a wonderful lady. She was very pleasant. The food was very good. Great value. It did take us back to the 70’s to our childhood but in a good way. The menu was limited but we ate well. It was cheap and good value. Would eat here again next we’re in Sheringham.

Passed this place many times and finally went inside for Sunday lunch. The place is very dated with Artex everywhere. We were shown to a table and given the menu to have a look at. We both choose the roast beef lunch and hot drinks. Drinks arrived promptly. The food arrived and there wasn’t that much of it on a large oval plate. Tasted very bland with lots of seasoning required. Not the best Sunday lunch we have had.

Went here whilst in Sheringham on holiday. Didn't have to book for evening meal, but it was fairly busy. We dined for under £50 for 4 of us with 2 of us having the evening special (3 courses). So if you're looking for traditional british cuisine, cooked to order and you dont want to pay the Earth, then this is worth a try. Food was made to order with real chips! I found it to be very clean, with excellent customer service from the waitress. True it's not got the option of ordering by app and you get a hand written bill at the end. (That takes me back!) So if you're in Sheringham give it a go.

This was the first place we saw after coming out of the railway station so we dived in. After going to the mini-counter to place our order we chose to sit outside. No comment on the decor but it wasn’t particularly uplifting or indicative of the town. So, good for passing time before your train leaves and for pensioner specials but not the best in town.

Ate here over three nights while away on holiday for the 40s weekend and it’s just beautiful homemade food , it’s not a massive menu but still a nice variety and the food was exactly like I would make myself , one thing impressed me that it always came out piping hot which is something larger restaurants fall down on , the staff were really friendly so if you want basic nice food I would recommend this place , we will definitely eat here again on our next visit and certainly book a table as it does get full but be aware they do close at 8pm .

Went back to Sheringham for the 40's weekend and decided to have lunch in The Jolly Tar. It was absolutely packed. The waitresses looked lovely dressed as Land Girls. The only thing that spoilt my visit was the rudeness and offensive comments of some of the other customers. When a restaurant is full to breaking point you expect to have a wait for your meal - especially when your orders are cooked from fresh and there is a large selection to pick from on the menu. How quickly could these rude people cook over 60 plus meals? When you have worked in the catering business (as I have) you know how difficult it is to keep the hot meals flowing. I take my hat off to the staff that worked so hard there today and kept smiling although they must have felt like answering back. Well done to all The Jolly Tar Staff. My 45 minute wait for my hot meal was well worth the wait......and to the rude people that expected a meal served to them in 5 minutes of being seated......TRY MCDONALD'S.
