The Moorings Restaurant in King's Lynn and West Norfolk - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lovely afternoon tea and excellent service. Highly recommend. Polite, lovely setting and staff are very helpful. Would come back

An absolutely wonderful place to eat. Staff were very attentive, as they bought some warm rolls and butter as we had to wait a little while for our meal. Their carvery gravy is to die for so rich and flavoursome. Well worth going to if you're in the area.

I visited with my family for Sunday lunch and it was lovely. The food was cooked perfectly and everything was tasty. Amazing Yorkshire pudding and plenty of veg. The kids couldn't get enough of the roasted carrots and parsnips - delicious! Service was efficient, but not rushed and the staff are what really stood out. Incredibly friendly, personable and attentive. They know what great customer service is. We can't wait to visit again.

went for sunday lunch for my mums bday an brother in laws it was lovely roast would go again staff were polite

Nice surroundings, good food but nothing to write home about and very expensive. Drinks could bankrupt you….bottle of Pinot Grigio at £27…..outrageous.

Previous visits have been pleasant even though the seating area in front of the bar and reception makes it feel as though you are dining in a village hall. The new(?) menu looked interesting and with some mains upward of £25, we expected better. After a 45 minute wait (restaurant was not busy) the dishes looked well presented but sadly, one was overcooked and the other under seasoned and fairly tasteless. The meal was somewhat redeemed by the desserts.

We had breakfast here and ordered a "Full English" that cost us £10.50 each!! It comprised of a small slice of toast, 1 sausage, 1 egg, 1 mushroom, some really anemic looking beans, and 2 rashers of bacon. For the price, it was a very small portion. You could taste that they were the cheapest of the cheap sausage and bacon that were used, and cheap beans aswell.. so the price isn't really justified anywhere. We also ordered a glass of orange juice for something silly like £2.50. It was again, the cheapest of the cheap orange juice from concentrate so was extremely acidic and hard to enjoy. I think for the prices charged, they should be using better quality food or increasing the portion size a bit. I've never paid so much for such a shocking breakfast. The staff were friendly though!

The quality of the food is excellent and the waiting staff are precise, warm and courteous. During a visit today my infant daughter fell ill and staff were incredibly helpful and compassionate. Gold standard service.

We've missed so many birthdays and anniversaries because of COVID, this was an important occasion for the family to be together for a "proper" Sunday Lunch. The food was great for meat eaters and vegetarians alike, the portions just right, the service attentive without being intrusive. Happy people all round - we all had a great time. Highly recommended (but if I were you I'd book just to make sure you get a table).

Our order came freshly cooked and it was a beautifully cooked salmon. We might have enjoyed a dessert or even a coffee if anyone had bothered to ask if we enjoyed out meal or came over with a dessert menu. No staff member came anywhere near out table once the meal had been served and we had to wait at the bar to pay until a member of staff had time for us. I have never known it like this before and it does put me off reccommending the place again although the chef is great. Please get this sorted I want to feel valued when I pay out money!

Very good meals, clean and with space around you made you feel comfortable . Calm atmosphere . A variety of meals to suit most people .

We enjoyed an amazing meal this evening, we had starters, main and a desert. My friends had the 2 bird burgers, I am vegan and my vegan burger was the best I have had. Deserts were delish and my vegan brownie was to die for. The service was quick and the staff are exceptional. We sat outside because we prefer to at the moment, would highly recommend this restaurant.

Been here a few times for Sunday lunch. Took my Mother here for last Sunday. Staff were pleasant & obviously pleased to see us, Service was sharp without feeling pressured & we soon gad drinks & someone was there to take our order. We had a great meal with all of us having 3 courses. The food was great & the bill reasonable. I must remark on the amazing Hake main course which my wife & I had. Lovely.

Had Sunday lunch today at this Resteraunt. Good food, friendly service and lovely surroundings. Drinks served in the garden and orders taken there. Led to table when food ready. Would recommend and will re visit soon.

The Moorings is the best restaurant we have locally and we visited it twice in the week before lockdown 2 and went back as quick as we could on the Friday evening after lockdown 2 ended. We have enjoyed lovely food, great service and a safe but cosy atmosphere. Grateful to have such a lovely place nearby. The Creme Brulee was a thing of beauty

We had an wonderful family birthday celebration meal. The food was excellent. The Rib beef steak just melted and the scollops were delicious. To have a choice of 6 sorbets was great as I only usually have a choice of lemon! The staff were friendly, attentive and all wore PPE.

We stayed at the crown lodge and ate at the hotel2 out of 3 nights food was tasty the tuna tagliatelle was particularly good the hotel staff were attentive food arrived hot and fast and although the restaurant was busy we felt the service wasn’t compromised and here was a great atmosphere. We were given a table where we could take our dog Cooper with us and the staff bought him water and commented on how nice and well behaved he was which was nice to hear would highly recommend.

Visited for a Saturday evening with friends and it was so good we booked for Sunday lunch the following day. The food was absolutely amazing, extremely good. A little on the expensive side but well worth it. My only complaint is the Covid charge! £2 per person!! What on earth is this for? Yes the staff wear masks and there is hand sanitiser, but does this warrant the additional charge? Surely it can’t be for cleaning because it’s a restaurant so I’d expect it to be clean anyway. And why is it a charge per person and not per booking!!! So excellent food but begrudge the Covid charge. The bill for our Sunday lunch, 5 adults and 1 child was £165. This was 2 starters, 6 main meals (1 was a child’s) and 6 desserts. One bottle of wine and the rest were soft drinks.

Had a lovely experience when visiting The Crown Lodge for Mother's Day. The service was impressive and the food was out of this world!! Very well done; I shall be returning.

I called in here for dinner recently, not expecting much. The service turned out to be excellent and the duck dish I had was simply exquisite! Very pleasantly surprised. Eat here before the chef heads off to somewhere with a Michelin star.

We had vouchers bought for last Christmas and finally got round to using them and boy were we glad we did. We had an absolutely lovely meal. Really tasty and filling . Probably the best one we have had here.

Living in this part of Cambridgeshire it’s difficult to find a nice restaurant and more so for a special occasion. But this place can provide this and if it’s nice you don’t mind paying a bit extra. A good choice of menu and it was nice that there was gluten free alternatives as one of our party had to be catered for. Staff were very attentive and help make our night which was a celebration of a Wedding Anniversary and a first new home. Something to please everybody from starters through mains and superb puddings then washed down with special coffees. Thank you to The Moorings.

Visiting for dinner with family last night, another great experience with a warm welcome and excellent service, the food was excellent, pork belly particularly good and superb Desserts. Congratulations to management and staff

Drove past this place lots of time and finally stopped in on a Saturday night with friends.Everything about my meal was below par for the price.Prawn cocktail was still frozen prawns, my pork fillet was way over cooked and the 7oz fillet steak for £24?? Also it doesn’t even come with sides, then beer at £5 a pint?? We aren’t in London!!Waaaaaay over priced. Best part is the staff are super friendly but that won’t be what gets me to return. Shame really as had high expectations for this place

We dined here mid weekThe venue is clean and comfortable though pretty empty so a bit soulless The food was enjoyed by most of the guests though overall I was let down by my main courseService was fine especially as we often have specific requirements

Had not been to the Moorings for several years however food is still excellent and service top notch . A super venue for a lunch or evening meal . Plenty of choice and again excellent food .

Brilliant fish and chips with crisp batter and succulent well cooked fish Great burger Sticky toffee pudding and banana cheesecake excellent

Took my parents for a birthday lunch. Tables were dressed impeccably. The menu was extensive and the food was great Will definitely be going back

Visited the Moorings Restaurant at the Crown Lodge Hotel tonight and enjoyed a really good meal. They have reviewed and refined their menu and have a great selection catering for all tastes. The gravlax on the specials menu was excellent as was the Tempura King Prawns my husband had. The Hake was delicious too. Delighted to see that the Crown Lodge has put back so much that was good in its menu.

WE ate at the moorings recently, we had a wonderful tasty meal with wonderful flavours and textures. This is a very professionally run outfit with great attention to detail, maybe not the cheapest but the meal was of high quality

Went with friends and had a lovely evening, attentive & friendly service in a very pleasant environment. Great for events too! thoroughly enjoyed our meals and will be eating here again. Best in the area that I have found so far!

Used to be our favourite place to go plus its our local restaurant so how disappointed we were when we visited last Friday as our Valentine Meal as we couldn't get a seat on the Wednesday so this was a special night for us both.

I have eaten here many, many times - the quality of the food is always excellent and the service is great. Would recommend to anyone. 5*

Just had a superb diner after along trip back from work, met my daughter and wife there & enjoyed every moment. 5*****

So happy to be going back to the Moorings again...it lost it's MoJo for a bit there in our eyes. But so pleased to say we have smashing staff eager to help again and the food is second to none! You will be seeing alot more of us...Welcome Back!

At the recommendation of a local we visited this restaurant. We were warmly greeted and had a table reserved whilst we had a pre-dinner drink. We pondered the menu and specials and finally ordered the lamb shank special and the chicken and leek pie.

We booked a meal here for Saturday night 30th September and arrived to a very busy Restaurant. Although busy, the staff were friendly and relaxed. We sat at our table and could not fault the food or service. Thank you.

Had friends visiting and original choice for Sunday lunch was closed for the holidays and found this from web search. Very nice, cosy restaurant within hotel. Staff friendlly and efficient. The Sunday lunch menu was varied and the food well cooked and plentiful. Spent over two hours relaxing over our meal, restaurant hours were over but we were not pushed or pressured into leaving - staff happy to leave us until we were ready to go. would definitely visit again.

Polite and efficient service, with the best Sunday roast I have had out. The meat was so moist and cooked...

Revisiting after some time , always wonder whether standards are being retained, not disappointed. Warm welcome, attentive staff, great food,...

Superb Sunday lunch was asked how we liked are beef rare, medium or well done, always a good sign of...

Tenía muchas ganas de probar este lugar. Mesa reservado en 7 llegamos al bar y pedimos vino y dijo que estábamos allí, tuvimos que pedir después de 20 minutos de estar sentado. Precioso cerdo linguini no tiene sabor. Nadie nos preguntó si queríamos una copa aunque terminamos el vino a medio camino a través de la comida. De postre pedimos 30 minutos después aún no hay postre, y para la gente que sale! ! En fin fuimos al bar y nos dijo que nos habían estado esperando 30 minutos para el postre y quería pagar.

We had Sunday lunch which was delicious. very nice waitress, I had roast beef and the other 3 of our group had lamb and they were all very nice, good amount of meat and veg which was served separately. 3 of us did manage a pudding which was also very good.

The food is excellent and the portions very generous. I love the prawn and crayfish starter but then cannot manage a main course. Having been recommended their spaghetti carbonara I was disappointed it wasn't on the current menu, however, when I mentioned it when ordering I was told that the chef would be happy to do it for me.... How good is that!? Friendly atmosphere so highly recommended.

We have been here twice now, firstly on a busy Saturday night and today for Sunday Lunch . . Both times the food and service have been faultless . It does get busy and noisy

Fantastic, over and over again. Great staff, good value, tasty, fresh food. Warm surroundings. Recommend!

We visited the restaurant here with some friends but found the menu lacking in variety and the place void of atmosphere. Not having much to choose from the menu I ordered steak well done. It arrived with all our orders but it was not well done more like medium rare. I did not complain as our company of friends had booked this venue and thought it inappropriate to be a spoilsport. I could not finish my meal and found the whole occasion uncomfortable. The meal was also quite expensive for what was on offer and I would be very reluctant to go back. A very prominent feature here also was the lack of customers on a Friday evening.

Very nice, scampi,fish and chips and flavoursome chicken all in all well cooked and presented. Thank you.

Went here for the first time with friends. Very nice restaurant. Had a private room. Service was a little slow but there were quite a few of us. Food was fairly good. and reasonably priced. Would like to go again to try their Sunday roast.

Had a meal out as a family. Food was lovely. We both had the Chargrilled Pork Belly for starters which was lovely. Followed by the Pan fried Duck breast and Rolled breast of Lamb. These were also both very lovely. Presentation very good too, modern. Little girl had spaghetti bolognese which was tasty, and Garlic bread - but this was so oily it was not edible. Desserts unfortunately were a let down. Had the Strawberry Eton Mess, which was really disappointing, it was all just slopped together you couldn't see or taste the different textures of the cream, strawberries or meringue. And having had very well presented starters and mains was expecting something as spectacular for dessert. In saying this I will return again for another meal, I just wont have the Eton Mess.

Having had a super meal earlier in the year I booked in for a Valentine's day surprise for my partner as hoped for it was a great lunchtime Linda enjoyed the salmon and for me the beef was one of the best I have had for sometime,service was a little slow but they were busy so it was no problem.So we have a great restaurant for lunches/evening meals close by.Thanks to all for a great meal.

I used TripAdvisor to find a restaurant in the Wisbech area to dine in with local friends and The Moorings came up well reviewed.I am sure it is well respected and fairs well against local competition, but I feel compelled to review the restaurant for its culinary and atmospheric merits.The atmosphere first. The dining room / bar / lounge are all in one open plan area (which includes the Hotels reception). We dined on a Saturday evening and found the atmosphere casual and inviting. The dress code id casual. The service is pleasant and personable, but not overly attentive (if you need attention you will need to attract a waiter, they won't be checking on you).The food is far from gourmet. Meet seems to be their speciality, though fish is on the menu and vegetarians are catered for. Sadly, the preparation is not great. My wife had mullet which was badly overcooked and place on something unidentifiable. I had a rack of ribs which faired better but were nothing special. A side order of onion rings were served in an oily batter, not good.Staying in the hotel we also breakfasted here. I chose the small English and my wife scrambled eggs. Everything on my plate (except the fried egg) had been through a deep fat fryer, including the black pudding. Far far to oily, not good. My wife's eggs were very wet, acceptable, but only just.I apologise for the negative review as I don't think you can get anything better in the area but it is not a venue of note.

We eat at the Moorings restaurant often. The food is clearly freshly produced with care and attention to detail. You can enjoy simple food done well or treat yourself from the a la carte menu. Often people think that this place is posh and too expensive. That couldn't be any further from the truth. Non pretentious great food with warm service. Clean surroundings with attention to detail. Cosy fireplaces and climate controlled heating and cooling to back it up. We are very lucky to have this nearby and always look forward to our return. You should try the afternoon tea, pre booked only but a really nice treat.

I booked afternoon tea for a very special occasion and was so spoilt , it was wonderful , lovely PROPER English tea and strainer !!! was superb. Staff absolutely amazing , such a relaxing atmosphere . Don't laugh so enjoyed , so so enjoyed it have booked for a retake !!

We were impressed with the service and the range and quality of the meals. The cuisine ranges from English pub standards to Continental styles. We had the roast duck, basil infused mozzarella, leek and mango tart, home made ice cream and sticky toffee pudding. All excellent.

This is a great place for people of all ages and for a variety of occasions. You can visit for morning coffee, afternoon tea which is a really nice treat, lunch or dinner. I have experienced all of these options. The décor, ambience, staff service and quality of food are well above average. I would recommend The Moorings also for private hiring.

The atmosphere portrayed by the very friendly attentive staff, make this place a little gem.... We have previously stayed at the Crown lodge on numerous occasions, rooms are spotless. Eating in the Moorings restaurant and newly refurbished bar area is always a pleasure. Ever changing menu and always superbly tasty and fresh. We have used this venue for family meals, intimate dinners, attended large functions, the comedy nights and training courses, every time, every aspect is spot on. Perfect!

Great food and great people. I believe it always shows through when people really care and it certainly does at the Moorings. The staff are always attentive and helpful and the food is always great. I have been one of a party of eight or ten on several occasions and the food is always served at the same time, there's never been one person left waiting.Try it, you won't be disappointed.

I love this hotel and restaurant.The food quality and quantity is excellent, the staff are brilliant and exceptionally helpful and the atmosphere is very accommodating.I would recommend this to anyone.

Took my mum for lunch for a mothers day treat. Love the new decor, food tasty and value for money, excellent service. A really special place. Love it.

I have visited the Moorings at The Crown Lodge Hotel on a few occasions now and I have to say the quality of food and service I have experienced is of the same standards as high quality central London restaurants although the service is even more attentive and welcoming.The quality of the steaks is fantastic and they have an amazing wine list. My favourite is the Malbec, nothing better to accompany a good fillet steak.They also have a great section of beers and spirits!!All in all, my favourite place to eat and drink in the area by far. Wisbech and Downham restaurants just don't compare.

Recently went here for lunch, staff were extremely accommodating and the place had a great new look! Food was top notch. Definitely will be returning.....

Love the food here. Always served to a very high standard and the selection on the menu is great. The burgers and ribs are the best around! Staff are always very friendly and make the experience even better.

I visited The Moorings with a group of friends for a champagne Afternoon Tea, which was absolutely wonderful! A perfect arrangement of delicious sandwiches, scones and mini desserts! Comfortable surroundings, and excellent service - well worth a visit!

visiting the moorings for afternoon tea i was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and the high service. There was a glass of chilled champagne waiting, followed by a broad selection of teas and a lovely display of sandwiches, cakes and pastries. Although delicate looking, there is a huge selection to choose from and leaves you feeling very full at the end of it! Would certainly come back for a friends birthday or to treat mum/ grandmother on a special occasion.

I visited the Moorings with a group of friends and was very impressed by the selection of food included in our afternoon tea. It was easy to relax and the sandwiches were lovely! Would recommend it to anyone and will definitely be visiting again.

Great food and great service. The menu had a really good selection and all freshly prepared and well presented. Fresh new interior design has given this place a real face lift. Definitely worth a try!
