The Neptune in King's Lynn and West Norfolk

After reading the reviews we have to say that we were very disappointed with our visit. We had the 3-course menu which was adequate but not at all exciting. Whilst each course was well cooked, the sauces and accompaniments lacked subtlety and flavours were not well balanced. Difficult to justify a Michelin star on this performance. Over the years we have used a number of Michelin restaurants but sadly this rates as the worst we have visited. It was highly priced and certainly not worth the money we were charged.

Superb...beautiful food, lovely atmosphere and service. Rooms immaculate and very thoughtful in the small details .. can't recommend highly enough. We will definitely be back.. a real treat tucked away in a quiet location. Thank you for a lovely stay. Our compliments to the whole experience . Danielle and Darren Gilmore

Simply outstanding. Perfectly executed meals from a limited menu based on what is in season and best. Impressive wine list for a boutique venue. Friendly service. Very comfortable and clean accommodation so you can make a weekend of it and best of all, have the breakfast! Highly recommended.

Very small – you really have to book. It’s just the chef and his wife who does front of house. Superb tasting menu with very friendly personal service. Easily worthy of the Michelin star. We stayed over (they have a few rooms). The bedroom is luxurious and had some lovely touches such a tin of freshly baked chocolate cookies. Breakfast, also cooked by the Michelin-starred chef, was also superb with freshly squeezed juice, home baked bread and the puffiest, buttery croissants.

This is fine dining at it's very best. Everything perfect. They even coped with 6 unexpected diners. The wine is not stupid expensive and the chef takes an interest in what you want and like. I loved it and will be going back soon

Excellent food lovely people the chef is marvellous and engaging.

Fantastic meal, nice location, Staff were helpful and friendly. Worth every penny, I enjoyed everything that I ordered.

We booked the tasting menu and B&B for my wife's birthday. The tasting menu was great, lovely fresh produce and great flavour combinations, presented beautifully. The room was really nice and breakfast was also top notch. The Neptune definitely lived up to expectations.

Just fabulous! The tasting menu was superb, with each course perfectly flavoured and balanced, and leading onto the next. Each dish introduced and served by Kevin. Jacki is so welcoming that you feel like a special guest. They certainly merit their Michelin Star. (We did not stay as we have family nearby.)

We decided last minute we would like to try this restaurant and we were fortunate that due to last minute cancellations they were able to accommodate us. The dining area is intimate, we were four couples in total but didn't feel too close to the other guests. We were greeted by the chef Kevin, who made us very welcome, his wife Jacki front of house soon made an entrance and was equally friendly. The wine list is extensive, unfortunately my partner was driving so we were unable to take full advantage of their wines. We did enjoy a glass of champagne each plus a half bottle of wine. We enjoyed the tasting menu, which started with Iced Ginger and Lemongrass Tea a perfect palate cleanser. This was followed by various courses all delicious with exquisite flavours ( Menu available on web site) Each course was served at the table by Kevin with an explanation of the ingredients. I particularly enjoyed the Monkfish with Satay sauce, which was spicy. I actually enjoyed all the courses, the attention to detail and presentation was second to none. Kevin and Jacki ensure that the dining experience is first rate and I would certainly recommend eating there and look forward to another visit. Thank you for a splendid dining experience.

Fabulous should just about cover it.

A fantastic stay and tasting menu meal for to celebrate my mum's recent significant birthday. A very friendly welcome and an absolutely delicious meal with then a very restful sleep in the rooms above. Would definitely recommend and book again.

Went a couple of weeks ago for my Husbands birthday. Fabulous meal and room . Lovely hosts Kevin and Jacki . Had the 3 course meal and now need to go back for the tasting menu 😋

Had a lovely time. Cant fault anything. Luxurious room, great food, wine and service. Highly recommended.

It was a nice meal, we enjoyed the food and the occasion, but was it spectacular? Sadly, no. The problem with these types of places is the expectation. When they are beefed up so much, the customers expect so much. I can honestly say there are many places in Norfolk where one can get better food, in a more relaxed environment, at a much better price. Personally if I ran the Neptune, I'd get rid of the star, just serve good basic grub and do it well. People would leave far happier. That said - I'm not really complaining, the food was good, the service was good, the place is good, but given the price we had to pay, just cos of the star, its not somewhere we would opt to go back to. If some friends went and asked us to join them, then we would, but just would not choose to go there for another night out.

By far the best place for a dinner out on the coast. Our evening was an absolute perfection, from table serving to delicious food to idyllic setting. Could not recommend more.

Unfortunately a bit disappointed. Having tried several times to book, for years, I just ended up asking for the first available date as we live locally. We have experienced a few Michelin stars Restaurant but unfortunately I do not really think this is up to it. Food was ok but, considering the price, we would not rash back.

My wife and I stayed at The Neptune on a Friday and Saturday night, having breakfast on Saturday and Sunday morning and the full Tasting Menu experience with my wife’s Father and Step-Mother, who live nearby, on the Saturday evening. The room was huge and beautifully prepared. Breakfast was superb both days. The Saturday dinner was as good as we had hoped. Jacki welcomed us warmly and we felt comfortable from the very start of our visit. We were all in awe of Kevin’s skills as a chef. It seems incredible that Kevin produces such beautiful food for everyone on his own. This was a very special experience. Thank you to Kevin and Jacki.

Eating and staying at the Neptune is one of our most precious treats. Jacki and Kevin are excellent hosts. The rooms are spotlessly cleaned and well equipped; with quality teas and coffees plus wonderful home made biscuits. The evening meal is created exactly as you'd expect of a Michelin star restaurant: each course is designed to make the ingredients sing to their best. You'll often be served by chef Kevin himself! Jacki is always on the move between tables. Her knowledge of the wine list is well worth exploring, and she recommends by what works and not what is the most expensive. Tables are always yours for the night so you can relax. We're great fans of the coffee and pastries to finish the night... even if we are already full. Breakfast is exactly what you'd expect: cereal, fruit juice, toast, etc except this one has a proper chef creating it. We keep going back!

Lovely little restaurant which we tried for the first time whilst on holiday in North Norfolk. Service was friendly and unobtrusive. I’m a veggie and the preparation of the veggie dishes was beautiful. My partner enjoyed all of his dishes as well. It’s a single handed kitchen, which is amazing. Thanks for a lovely meal.

We have been coming here about once year for years; one of the greatest charms is how nothing appears to change - except of course it does. Kevin's cooking goes from strength to strength - nothing has ever connected so well with my inner glutton than the perfectly cooked lamb cutlet with a glass of lamb consommé on the side, that we had last night. Wow - can't wait to come back!

Amazing experience. We stayed yesterday and ate the taster menu last night. Food was (as expected from a Michelin star restaurant) impeccable - what makes them stand out if the faultless hospitality of Kevin & Jacki who are very present. Neither can do enough to make you feel welcome and we very much enjoyed the little touches. Our room was very well appointed, tastefully furnished and immaculately clean. Kevin carried our luggage & showed us to the room and explained how the coffee machine worked and where to find the WiFi code for example. We were given a flask of fresh milk (which we would normally reques). Just outside the room is a tray from which you can restock tea-bags or coffee pods - they've really thought of everything a guest might want. The meal was superb. The restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere and my husband was offered the opportunity to taste an unfamiliar wine before purchasing. We had a comfortable night's sleep and a beautiful breakfast this morning before leaving. At no point were we rushed and Kevin & Jacki found time to chat to all of they guests.

A really excellent meal with the quality showing through throughout. We had the 3 course menu which had first rate choices.The cooking was of a very high standard and the service friendly and attentive.

Was there Saturday night so had the taster menu a truly wonderful meal. Great attention to detail which you would expect from a Michelin star restaurant coupled with personal and friendly attention from the owners.

Our second time staying and dining here. The dinner, bed and breakfast is such brilliant value for money given the quality of everything. Kevin is an excellent chef and the menu last night in my opinion, out did top London restaurants. It was inventive and perfectly cooked and presented. The rooms are beautifully presented, clean and thoughtfully prepped. Breakfast was excellent. Kevin and Jackie are excellent hosts, welcoming and attentive without being overbearing. We will definitely return.

This restaurant is run by a friendly couple. As you find with anybody who is truly professional, they don’t have to keep telling you how good they are. The chef is a very modest man. His wife is front of house and accommodated my dietary requirements. I had the tasting menu, and the Lavinton Lamb and monkfish courses were especially good.

Lovely hotel. Lots of special touches that make a big difference like the decent coffee machine in our room, lovely teas and homemade biscuits. Dinner was great, Kevin really knows what he's doing; simple dishes where the flavours and produce really sing. Absolutely delicious. Great service. It's a small, cosy restaurant and feels so relaxed. Breakfast in the morning was lovely. Will be back.

The Neptune is a gem of a restaurant, Kevin and Jackie are the bets of hosts. The food is fabulous and the wine list exceptional. Their kindness towards my husband in his powerchair was the icing on the cake!

We booked for the tasting menu and were not disappointed. The Neptune is a tiny restaurant catering post Covid for under 15/20 covers. The whole setup seemed to be run by a husband and wife team - and they were good. The menu was exactly as shown on the website and every mouthful was a delight. The portions, for a tasting menu, were generous and ingredients include lobster, monkfish and turbot in different courses. Our bottle of wine was carefully poured to last the entire meal with no obvious up-selling. We spent about 3 hours over our meal and( we are in our 70’s!) we left feeling that we had good value both in quantity and quality. If you are in North Norfolk with £100 per person to spend on a meal then, in my opinion, you would be hard pressed to better this restaurant. No negatives at all !

Lovely restaurant - feels like dinner with friends. The tasting menu was nice and positions large - we enjoyed it very much. We’ll be back!

I love nothing more than a tasting menu and was very excited to sample this one and at £100 maybe my expectations were too high hoping each course would have the Wow factor , and most did , but not all . The pre desert and desert were disappointing , the pre dessert was far too similar in flavour and texture to the actual dessert and neither were particularly attractively presented unlike some of the other courses . Interesting wine list and well priced .

Amazing totally delicious and wonderful dinner for two! Luckily got a cancellation so enjoyed a lovely meal with wonderful hosts. Whole experience was so relaxed and enjoyable not rushed and plenty of space. This is how you should enjoy a special dinner. And talking of which the food was absolutely superb! Thank you and hope to come again.

What a superb meal we had with our adult sons and daughter - in- law in April 23. Such a relaxed atmosphere and friendly, personal service from Kevin and Jacki. None of the pretentious service associated with some Michelins where customers are patronised by staff asking "how are we guys?" and "instructing " us on what wine we should drink, how marvellous the food is and of course how privileged we are to be there !! . Such stuff isn't necessary when the service is understated, informal and delivered to the table by the owners . Just perfect to be served by a couple who have held Michelin stars for 20 years and yet serve contemporary food , know their stuff and give great service in a relaxed informal atmosphere. Just perfect.

Another fantastic taster menu from Kevin and Jackie.

We stayed for two nights in a beautiful spacious room with everything we needed and more. Lovely home made biscuits! The food was very special, we enjoyed a 3 course dinner on our first night and a tasting menu on the second. The breakfasts were also amazing. Kevin and Jacki are excellent relaxed hosts.

We have wanted to visit here for ages and our recent visit was not a disappointment! We opted for the taster menu and it was excellent. Jackie, front of house and Kevin the chef also own The Neptune. They are so friendly and really engage with their guests which was lovely. The restaurant is small so it is quite hard to get in, but keep trying because it is so worth the wait. Cant wait to go again.

Warm friendly hosts who engaged with all their guests. Beautifully thought out clean and spacious bedroom, coffee machine and a ghd hairdryer impressed me! We had the taster menu which was great, venison especially was excellent. To top it off a fabulous breakfast the smoked...

We had a lovely evening at The Neptune Inn. The food was absolutely outstanding and the service impeccable. Will most definitely be back!

Excellent friendly welcome in this great little restaurant, comfortable and well spaced seating and table. Excellent wine list, but it was the food we came for, and it didn’t disappoint. Having not been before we opted for the tasting menu, as it turned out it...

A lucky last minute booking. The food and ambience at The Neptune are second to none. Every course was meticulously prepared and delicious; it really lived up to the Michelin star it has earned. We will definitely return.

6 of us had a really lovely evening here. Went for the tasting menu which was superb. Every dish was explained by the chef in great detail and it was all delicious. Not at all stuffy and pompous so if you're looking for condescending waiters...

The Neptune is an old restored pub, with flagstone floors and steps here and there, and a small bar area, with dining for about 12-16 people. There are 4 bedrooms, 1 of which, where we stayed for 2 nights. Comfy, massive bed ( which we...

We spent the weekend at the Neptune to celebrate our wedding anniversary ad had a wonderful time. The food was excellent, made all the more special by Kevin and Jacki sharing some of the ingredients that gave rise to the fantastic flavours we experienced. Our...

Looking for a fine dining experience for my partner's 40th, and that's exactly what we got. Exquisite food, fantastic wine, and fantastic service from Kevin and Jacki. I'd hounded Jacki several times in the weeks leading up to our trip to Norfolk after she'd shared...

Booked to stay/dine here months in advance and having had a taste of it there's no surprise demand outstrips supply by a huge margin. This is a cracking place however you look at it. Lovely warm welcome, spotless, well appointed room, lovely relaxed atmosphere and...

We booked at the Neptune to celebrate two significant birthdays (mine being my 60th). Upon arrival, we were made to feel extremely welcome by Kevin as he showed us to our lovely room (no 2). The dining experience was lovely; the food divine. We had...

I found this gem of a place when hunting for Michelin starred restaurants with rooms online for a nice meal and overnight stay as a belated birthday and Christmas gift for my partner. Kevin and Jacqui were the perfect hosts and the room was lovely....

Our best dining experience in Norfolk and also our best evening out since before the pandemic. Its expensive as you’d expect as it’s a Michelin starred restaurant but I actually think it provides better value than any of the “gastropubs” along this stretch of the...

We opted for the tasting menu and every course was delicious. The hosting and service was faultless and although busy, Jacki and Kevin spoke to everyone. Long waits for bookings but well worth it.

It is always a pleasure to stay at The Neptune. The hospitality of owner Jacki & Chef patron Kevin is really superb. We enjoyed glorious food & then retired to the immaculately comfortable room. It is a joy to stay here & is highly recommended.

High demand and reduced capacity, to enable social distancing, mean there’s quite a long wait to get a table but it’s well worth it. Two small rooms, one with a now redundant bar, are calmly decorated and create a relaxed atmosphere. Service from the tiny...

I was expecting a Wow factor from a Michelin starred restaurant and got an evening to forget. The waitress was very condescending, we didn't go for the tasting menu and opted for the a la carte, the confit of quail could have been anything under...

Stayed overnight and enjoyed a superb, fine dining experience. Our tastefully decorated room was spotlessly clean. Huge double bed with lots of plump pillows. There was a pod coffee maker and tea making facilities in the room together with fresh milk and home made cookies....

Finally managed to get here after several COVID related cancellations. Having been to several Michelin restaurants of various ratings i found this one to have the most relaxed atmosphere. The staff were very attentive and the food was great. Just enough time between courses to...

Stayed for one night for a Tasting Menu experience. The Neptune was more difficult to spot than we had thought, but look out for Caley Hall Hotel next door or The Old School House Hair Company opposite. There are a few car parking spaces in...

Outstanding food and service, tasting menu was simply sublime, incredible flavours and catered for my gluten intolerance. Simply superb, highly recommend, we will be back!

The Neptune in Old Hunstanton is the perfect place to relax with wonderful food & marvellous hospitality. Kevin & Jacki are the perfect hosts. Dinner is a divine adventure with delightful olives & beautiful little cheese & sultana biscuits. There is a really tasty amuse...

We stayed in one of the beautifully decorated, well-appointed rooms as well as having dinner. The food was exquisite and the service informal and friendly. Breakfast was equally as fabulous!

Had the tasting menu with friends. Outstanding cooking. Also very innovative. We have been going to this restaurant for years and it has just got better and better. Fresh local ingredients make the food even more special.

We had such a lovely visit to the Neptune on our honeymoon last week. We couldn’t recommend it enough - the team were so friendly and welcoming, and the food was totally outstanding. The whole experience was incredible and we will be back when we...

See my review on the other listing for this venue. This listing is not adopted so they have doubled up.... Suffice to say: IT WAS A KNOCKOUT.... FIVE STARS.. DING DONG etc

This was our first meal out for a long time and we were slightly worried about going out again. We were immediately put at ease, with really thoughtful precautions and only 5 tables well spaced out, nothing was too much trouble and the food was...

Such a disappointing meal from booking to end- the whole things felt like we were an inconvenience to the owners. Won’t be going back, save your money there are far better places locally to try

Always a treat to go to The Neptune especially after such a long gap due to COVID restrictions, food excellent, service delightful, book soon as tables limited.

Booked a table back in June for the 15th Sept 7.00pm turned up on time only to find they hadn't got us booked despite our emails confirming the date and time.Told there wasnt space no apology didnt even give me the chance to find my confirming email!!Walked out in disgust as it was supposed to be (a very expensive) highlight £65 for 3 courses?Still it saved us some money,enjoyed a Sainsbury's pizza at the holiday let instead!!Should have been nil stars by the way!!!

This was our first restaurant meal post lockdown and what a treat it was. The food was delicious. We had the tasting menu which was well balanced with lots of nice touches. Service was attentive and very personal as it’s only a small restaurant and the owners do the cooking and the service. Recommended.

Had the tasting menu which was very seasonal and delicious. The service was excellent and very friendly. Cant recommended this little gem enough. Superb!

What a lovely little restaurant this is. With only 18 covers it has an intimate feel and the staff can be attentive to everyone equally. Quality is of a high standard. Family run, with clearly a very good chef. Because of the size and popularity you’ll need to book, but a bit of planning never hurt anyone. Our Sunday lunch was excellent from start to finish.

This small restaurant tucked away in the North West of Norfolk is well worth a visit for the exceptional cooking and friendly service. There is a good fine dining menu set at a reasonable price for a Michelin star venue, I chose the braised hare which is unusual on a menu in the UK we would visit again.

We stayed here for the second time and were not disappointed. Kevin and Jackie were perfect hosts and delicious food. Comfortable room and nice touches like fruit and sweets available, that is, if you can eat mother morsel.

With just 16 covers the restaurant offers an intimate setting and a sense of personal attention. We were a table of four and together visit fine dining venues fairly regularly, the food definitely did not disappoint in fact I would struggle to favour any one dish. My wife and friends would have votes for the Salmon dish.I would love to return to this super venue with my extended family and block book the entire restaurant as i know they would all thoroughly enjoy the experience. I found it "heartening" when the owners eat at the finest more acclaimed restaurnants and we shared notes.

My husband and I visited The Neptune for a treat. We are slowly working our way through Michelin star restaurants and this was next on our list. And as lovers of the British seaside, we tied it in with a visit to the sea. I have to say, we were pleasantly surprised by the small, yet homely setting. The coziness of just six tables gave the restaurant a lovely feel, yet the tables were far enough apart not to feel cramped or part of other people’s conversations!However, having eaten in several Michelin star restaurants before, I have to say, this isn’t the experience we expected. Small details were missed. Such as, I ordered a drink that never came, other tables received their bread with the beetroot course & ours was served as an individual course.It isn’t a “stuffy” place. It’s very relaxed and the owner was very friendly and chatty. I must stress, we couldn’t fault the food. It was absolutely divine. We’d highly recommend the tasting menu. The pork, in particular, was delicious. All in all, we had a pleasant evening and would recommend the food. But if you’re expecting fine dining and being spoilt, this isn’t the place for you.

I booked this as a surprise for my Husband to celebrate his 40th Birthday. We stayed overnight in a deluxe room which was just lovely, the bed was massive and a nice cosy way to spend the evening after what was the most amazing tasting menu! The room has lots of quirky furniture. The only downside for me was the shower, I couldn't quite get the right temperature for me, it was either too hot or too cold. And I like the little feminine touches in the bathroom in case you forget the essentials or are caught short.My husband is allergic to shellfish and they accommodated him really well, changing a course completely for him and removing the fish from another course and adding in something else. The bar had lots of choices of wine, gin, beers, etc. My husband even enjoyed a bottle or 2 of the chef's favourite beer. A thoroughly wonderful way to spend a Birthday

First time at this small but perfectly formed restaurant. Went for the 7 course dinner and the food was delicious. It’s the first time ever an owner has told me to hold back on ordering more wine as there seemed to be plenty left.....she was of course correct. The seafood with bomba rice was my favourite but the venison and everything else was perfect. Portions are not big so we had a perfect balance of tastes and went home very happy and not too bloated.The owners have been doing this a long time and seemed to still have the energy to produce their best. We will be back

The Neptune is a nice small Hotel / Restaurant in a reasonable location near Hunstanton.The Chef / Owner and his wife are both nice people but having the Michelin tag set our expectation at a level that wasn't met. The food is very good but not Michelin. The room was clean and reasonably comfortable but nothing special at all.I wasn't expecting to have to knock on the kitchen door to ask twice each day for fresh milk for tea in the room and we fancied a drink before dinner on the Saturday of our visit but there was no staff at all available. We went next door to the Caley Hall Hotel which was very nice with lovely staff and a nicely pulled pint.In general the weekend was a very, very expensive disappointment. There are many Hotels / Restaurants in Hunstanton that are every bit as good as The Neptune at 50% of the cost.. We won't make the Neptune mistake again..

Very small only 6 tables. We were lucky to find this restaurant in early January as it is usually closed in January. The food was very good as was the service. This is the second time that we have visited and we were not disappointed. Would visit again when next in the area. We picked from the normal menu but a taster option is available for a table.

We dined her as a couple, and stayed for one night.The Neptune is excellent, It is not at all as stuffy or formal as one might expect. Both of the proprietors are very friendly, and they create a relaxed, but genteel, atmosphere. The food is top-notch and is served in an unhurried way, which turns the meal into an occasion.The room was very comfortabe and was spotlessly clean. The decor is unfussy and elegant. Breakfast was generous and delicious.

Sunday Roast will never be the same after visiting The Neptune.I love my Sunday roast and here I had roast beef and all the trimmings to die for.Have recorded this excellent venue to friends and family and will certainly be eating here again in the not too distant future.

I won’t repeat what has already been written a number of times before my discerning reader, so I suggest you review the comments made by ‘PMurray Cambridgeshire’ in Nov of this year.

Arrived early afternoon as we wanted to walk on the coastal path. Would have been happy to leave luggage in the car but warmly greeted and shown to our room which was spacious and well appointed. Not a huge menu, but carefully constructed, and none the worse for that. All the dishes we had were excellent in all respects and good wine suggestions to complement each. Highly recommended.

We visited The Neptune on a Saturday evening to celebrate my husband's birthday. We were underwhelmed and a bit disappointed. The welcome was luke warm, although the staff gradually warmed up as the evening went on. Having said that it is clear that they are not professionally trained.

My wife and I came here for two nights and Dinner on the Saturday.

Stayed in the cottage for 7 nights in October 2019 . First time we had done self catering. This was not a problem! Greeted by the owner who showed us round the cottage , the fridge had all the ingredients for a splendid breakfast plus a quality bottle of wine. The cottage is over 3 floors and can accommodate up to 5 people. It was tastefully furnished and we were very comfortable. It was spotless . The kitchen was equipped with every imaginable piece of equipment too. The location is ideally suited to all the places of interest in North Norfolk. I have already recommended this place to many friends.

Stayed here for the weekend for our anniversary. Lovely people who can’t do enough for you. Dinner was fabulous! fabulousfabulouswwould hi

I stayed here for 2 days while seeing family we was greeted by a blonde lady who had a terrible attitude and made us feel very uncomfortable got to our room it was ok went down for dinner the setting was nice had our food served witch looked nice but tasted rank spoke to the chef and was disgusted to see the he had horrible yellow smokers fingers and smelt of smoke and this is the guy who just made us food i would never recommend to anyone

A small place (14 covers) with a short menu (four items per section) which pretty well guarantees serious attention to each item.

My wife and I visited here as I'd bought a tasting menu dinner for her for our 1st wedding anniversary. The option to buy it as a voucher is nice as you can have something to give as a physical gift.

A lovely night. Top quality food, well prepared and a great selection of wines including an amazing half bottle list.

Took my husband here for a birthday treat. Although he loves his food he does not enjoy the fussy theatre of food that you can get in some Michelin starred restaurants. What you get here is clearly well presented superb tasing food. We tried food we had not had before ie red mullet escabeche, and it was delicious.

Loved love loved it. Myself and the husband started to make a regular occurrence in having a Michelin meal a year at the beginning of September as a treat. I was surprised when this restaurant was suggested to us as we drove by so many times and never knew is there.

We had the good fortune to stay two nights here, eating here on our first night. This restaurant with rooms is charming and the owners are exceptionally welcoming. The food was delicious and well thought out. The scallop raviolo was a particular highlight. The wine list was comprehensive and fairly priced. Breakfast was well prepared and wholesome. Most importantly the food was super, and the whole stay was a treat. A must to return.

Four of us enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Neptune’s. The service was delightful, low key but with astute anticipation of our needs.

We visited the Neptune 2 years ago and loved it. On our return visit this time taking friends for a special occasion, the quality of food, accommodation and service remains outstanding. The taster menu was a marvellous treat for the palette. Thank you

Being able to walk to The Neptune, on a warm evening in July, in England, was the making of a memory in itself! Add to that the v warm welcome from the hosts, plus that feeling that we knew we were going to be spoilt, and all we had to do was enjoy it!

We’re great fans and regulars to Morston Hall but never been to The Neptune as it’s that bit too far. Anyhow we went with friends, stayed and had a tremendous time. Boy do Kevin and Jackie work hard with the quality and attention to detail shines through. The rooms are not sumptuous but well done with that attention to detail. The food was tremendous. The wine list is not exhaustive but very well considered (an Italian is the most expensive red unusually).

Beautiful food in a stylish and friendly setting. The cooking of the beautiful produce was faultless, such a delightful couple and great service. Thank you.

Food: innovative, never gimmicky, varied menu, local produce, always perfectly judged. Wines: wide choice, excellent provenance, knowledgeable advice available. Front of house: welcoming, relaxed, expert. 5* perfect, which is why we travel for hours across England to eat here!

They’re a welcoming friendly couple so it’s painful to write such a critical review. I’ve hesitated but eventually decided that if Tripadvisor is to succeed then honest reviews, both good and bad, must be written and published. There appear to be enough 5 star reviews for The Neptune that you can risk ignoring our view if you want, but here goes:-
