Nice young lady behind the bar, all nails and makeup, the landlady, totally accommodating for the Grand National, and I got a good clean lovely pint of Abbott very cheap indeed. The place is very clean, it's got a varied clientele from office workers to regulars and families, and I would recommend a visit when you're in Lynn.

So my husband and son went to kings Lynn music festival and went to have a drink in the maids head, my son went to use the toilet and was ordered by the bounser to get to the back of the non existent queue he went back to the bouncer and said he wanted to use the toilet and was violently pushed into the railings and landed on the floor, the bouncer and another one jumped on top of my son grabbing him by the throat and was literally strangling him only letting go when his dad intervened. When is it nessesary to use these tactics when a customer asked to use the toilet. I certainly won't be recommending this pub to anyone and most definitely won't drink in there again. Their bouncers are appalling

Ordered drinks at the bar and was served the incorrect drinks. Asked for the correct drinks to be provided only for the barmaid to vacate the bar and come back with landlord. Landlord acted like a complete child and radioed for the bouncers to remove myself and two friends. We then asked if they would remove people elsewhere for asking for the correct drinks they agreed and said it was a joke. What a way to run a pub!!!

Love it here, the bar staff were very attentive and the drinks were lovely. Since we weren't allowed to take drinks outside by a certain point in the night, the bouncer lady was more than happy to watch over our drinks while we went for a smoke, massive thanks for that. :) The music is also amazing and the pub itself felt very welcoming and comfortable. Great experience. :)

Absolute dreadful & disgraceful meal last night 18/02/22 Both mine and partners meals were of a very poor standard Steak and ale pie that was just about OK, Brocoli and Mash that was indelible, never tasted anything as disgusting as red onion mash,the gravy came with thick skin on it disgusting and extremely poor value. Fish was disgusting and my partner said the bread that came with it was stale,left most of meal. The chef and management should be ashamed of them selves.

The place is absolutely gorgeous now. Lots of lovely antiques which you can buy. We went for a cavery roast, which sadly was a bit of a let down. The beef was a bit over cooked, the veg was not great at all, carrots overcooked, there was peas and sweetcorn,and cabbage, cauliflower cheese which was coming to the end of the tray, but the server scraped out enough for me, the roast potatoes were okay but dry. My daughter in law went next and she was shocked that he literally scraped the tray either all the end bits. I think they need more choice of vegetables. Such a shame that we were all disappointed. The saving grace was a very nice and delicious choice of puddings.

I booked this restaurant for Christmas Day & a payment of 50% (£69.95) was taken from my account at the time of booking. However, despite my telephoning/emailing on many occasions, I was never sent confirmation of my booking - nor any indication of any Terms & Conditions. I also did not receive any menu from which to make choices for our meal - which I had been advised needed to be done in advance. Any attempt to access the website threw up a message that the domain did not exist! I was beginning to lack confidence that my booking had been properly processed & concerned that there might not be a meal available - but, then, unfortunately I had to cancel when my partner tested positive for Covid. On contacting the restaurant, I was advised that none of my advance payment would be repaid. To retain £70 seems an excessive amount, given the way the booking had been dealt with and the fact that no food choices had been specified.

I've been in Kings Lynn for 4 year and never came here before because someone told me it was dodgy. But it isn't! The friendly barman had a Christmas jumper on. There are clocks everywhere, all telling the wrong time, and chairs. There's one big round table at the back where you might imagine Yakuza guys playing cards.

After my previous review I was messaged by the new owners to tell me that much had changed and they were worth a revisit. So took a gamble on it, as we were out for a show at the corn exchange. Just drinks for starters. On arrival it was clear that there were not enough staff, only one person behind the bar, and there was a queue even at 6pm. The person infront of me had to order 3 different meal options before one of them was available, this did not bode well. I had a Pint of Wherry which was very nice, and was going for a second, however the pub was getting busier and the one bar person was now even more under pressure to wait tables and bar serve. I watched as 5 people entered the bar, waited patiently and then left because they simply could not get served, as the bar person was having to stop serving drinks and go serve food. I gave up on the idea of a second pint of Wherry, and left. The experience could have been so much better with just one more person behind the bar.

Went yesterday for our grandson birthday. The barman could not have been more polite or helpful. Venue was nice enough but really let down by the fact they have hardly any staff at all. The poor barman was ran off his feet, serving customers at the bar, taking food orders and clearing of all the tables. What was difficult for him on top of doing everything else was that just about ALL the menu was unavailable, we ended up having burgers...the food took well over an hour to arrive, when it came it was ok Y

Best steaks we’ve eaten in years! The surroundings are really comfortable and the music was brilliant. The service is great and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Prices are very reasonable. Strongly recommend a visit and will definitely return when next in the area. We also bought an antique off the fireplace. The pub used to be an antiques shop and they still have items on display for sale, genius.
