I very rarely write a review but this experience was so amazing that I felt I had to tell people about it. We went on Saturday for the taster menu and from the minute we walked through the door Aga made us feel like we were the only people in the restaurant. As far as front of house service goes this is the best I have ever experienced. She talked us through every course and had clearly researched her wine choices when it came to wine pairing. When it came to the food, it was obvious that Lewis had put his heart and soul into it and the flavours were Michelin star without a doubt. Every dish was exceptional and even included ingredients from their own allotment. The stand out favourites for me were the goats cheese tartlet and the cheesecake. But for someone who isn’t keen on radishes, red wine or fish, they made me love them all. I think the best pairing was how the two of them complement each other with her excellent customer service and his exquisite cooking. We will definitely be going back.

Wow wow wow. We were recommended this place as something different from the other excellent gastropubs whilst staying in North Norfolk. They only have 20 covers a night so book well in advance. There are 2 menus. Long and short. And the option to have wine pairing. We went for the long menu. We were both a bit wary as there were things on there that neither of us particularly liked but the clever way that the food is cooked and put together put paid to any doubts we may have had! In fact they turned out to be our favourite dishes. There are only 4 people working here. 2 front of house and 2 behind the scenes. Each course was like eating a course from masterchef the professionals. When presented, they explain each ingredient and how it’s put together. Many are locally sourced and some grown in their own gardens. Service is spot on. We had a fabulous corner table and sat and watched the restaurant at work whilst dining. The long menu took a little over 3 hrs to get through, but couldn’t think of a finer way to spend the evening. A rare find. We will certainly be back!

This is possibly the finest meal I have ever eaten. The tasting menu was so clever and varied with fresh and tasty ingredients so well put together. The staff were all so friendly and knowledgeable and the atmosphere very relaxed. We spent nearly three and a half hours leisurely working our way through the menu.

We went to The Old Bank with friends for dinner to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. I can only rave about this intimate little restaurant. The welcome was lovely, the atmosphere relaxed and as for the food- I have never experienced anything so exquisite. Every dish was explained by our delightful hostess/owner and the oohs and ahs from our table said it all! Our friends are frequent partakers of Michelin starred food and remarked that this was superior to most! I had the wine flight, which was superb. Each tasting was generous, perfectly paired and each bottle was brought to the table and explained in detail. The restaurant was so good that we are already planning our next visit to Norfolk to include a meal here.

What an amazing small intimate restaurant. The manager was welcoming ,knowledgeable and we had a great time. The food was off the charts good. For those looking for delicious food in a lovely environment this place is perfect. Every tasting menu course was delicious and beautifully presented. We will be back but tricky to get in as so popular. There are plenty of options in Norfolk but I love this place and Aga (hopefully the right spelling) was knowledgeable,kind and patient. The perfect host and what a treat to have a meal here. A really decent wine list complimented the tasty food.

We were so lucky to get a cancelation at this great restaurant, on the night of our visit to Norfolk . From the moment you walk through the door you are made to feel special, we chose the full tasting menu with wine pairing & decided to start with one of their " Special Cocktails , which were wonderful . Every course was excellent , real Michelin Star , top quality innovative dishes with so much thought and great presentation coupled with a full explanation of every dish. Wine pairing was incredible and also served with a full details of the grape, the vineyard . We have no negatives and cannot understand why they have not been awarded a Michelin Star, assume that is just round the corner We will be back

Having tried for a couple of years to get another table, we were lucky this time in catching a cancellation as it appeared. We opted for the long tasting menu with wine pairing. It was sublime - probably the finest dinner we can remember (and we have travelled pretty widely and enjoy good food!). The owners and staff are superb hosts -really well briefed on every course and wine. The courses were perfectly paced and exquisitely presented. The wines came from all over the world but were all really good in their own right but complemented their dish perfectly. We were given a really interesting detailed account of the food and wines as they arrived. The dinner took about 3 hours but it flew by. They kindly rang our taxi asking him to come later! It is an expensive evening, certainly by Norfolk standards but this place is beyond exceptional and the obvious time, carefully and lovingly sourced (mostly local) top quality ingredients and breathtaking master-craft in the kitchen mean it probably couldn’t be achieved for less. Thank you to this wonderful couple who have created a truly exceptional gastronomic sensation here in North Norfolk.

We were extremely lucky to get a cancellation as I understand normally they are booked out 3 months in advance. We opted for the "short" taster and it was truly a wonderful culinary experience. The waitress was totally informed as to what we were served and each course just got better. The combinations of tastes and textures were beyond description. When asked what was our favourite we could only reply that they were all fantastic.

Imaginative food, a few twists and a great front of house team made this a really lovely foodie experience. We had the longer menu, with seven different courses and we really struggled to pick a favourite. It was actually the usual non-stars that really shone - a baked egg, pumpkin, potatoes - all played such a key role. And I loved the additional touches of herbs and flowers from the garden. The friendly staff and lovely soundtrack rounded off a great evening.

We had the long menu for a table of four. Small plates but lots of them. An exquisite experience that lasted around 3 hours. Each dish was beautifully presented and described and contained an array of flavours using locally sourced fare. The secret is in the detail with some of the ingredients cooked slowly over several days to achieve the desired taste and feel. Every dish gave something new to the pallet. It was quite simply the best dining experience I have ever had.

The Old Bank is understated, cosy and so welcoming. we booked what would of been the last Sunday Lunch before lockdown #2. We was able to take the Dog (lunch time only I believe). First of all the service was excellent from start to finish, adhering to all the COVID - 19 guidelines. The Sunday Lunch menu was so inviting. I had the rump beef which I can honestly say was the best Sunday lunch I’ve had... ever. The drinks selection was vast and nothing seemed to much. We opted for a dessert with our lunch and it just finished the meal off fantastically. Because you think it being a high end eatery you would come away hungry but it was totally opposite. I am so happy we got to enjoy the Old Bank before lockdown and deserve every 5 star rating.

Thank you for accommodating Halibut with no mussels, glorious tasty food much appreciated in time’s of uncertainty. Wishing you all future successes.

Wonderful attentive staff, pleasant atmosphere, and food was incredible. Small menu but still felt spoiled for choice as everything sounded and looked delicious! Felt very safe eating here as all staff were very conscientious; we were never uncomfortable and nothing was rushed. Thank you for an incredible evening.

What a fabulous little place! Offering only a very small number of covers, we found The Old Bank to be incredibly welcoming. The front of house team were very attentive and engaging and really helped to set the scene for a stunning tasting menu experience. All dishes were seasonal and expertly matched a wide variety of ingredients with beautiful presentation. We can’t wait to come back the next time we visit Norfolk and will be recommending to any friends and family that visit the area.

First visit yesterday to The old Bank and after reading the incredible reviews was nervous it may not live up to its reputation but we were not disappointed, a fabulous warm welcome. Incredibly delicious food! Was one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten, beautifully presented, every mouthful was a delight. Thank you for a fabulous evening!

From beginning to end, our evening meal at the old bank was excellent. Very attentive staff, a most engaging and enthusiastic owner (apologies did not get your name) who explained that most dishes have 25+ ingredients. Technically brilliant - balancing flavours well and execution (smoked egg yolks) with presentation to match. Will be returning...

Booked lunch after reading the great reviews. Was greeted warmly on arrival and received superb service throughout. We opted for the two course lunch menu and the food was excellent supported by some good wine. Not only was the food excellent but the prices were very reasonable. After finishing our food we sat outside in the outside garden to finish off the wine. All in all it was a thoroughly pleasing experience that I can't recommend highly enough.

This was a treasure of a find. The food was wonderful and so was the ambience. Attention to detail was exemplary from the home churned butter to the Covid restrictions. Brilliant.

We were very lucky to get a last minute reservation at The Old Bank on our short trip to Norfolk. WOW, just WOW. The food and service was impeccable. Every flavour had been very carefully selected and blended perfectly. We had the lamb and it was melt in your mouth fantastic. A must go if you’re in the area!

We have eaten at a few top class restaurants recently and I can honestly say that the food at The Old Bank is up there with the best. The menu doesn't really convey the delight to follow. We always like to have a taste of each other's meals and we are still discussing 'who won'. We particularly enjoyed the deserts, which were amazing.The team at The Old Bank are friendly and make you feel like part of the family.I only wished we were local (we were on holiday).

The Old Bank was fully booked when we tried to reserve for Sunday Lunch but we went on the waiting list and as luck would have it we got a cancellation.We had not had a good weekend and travelled home early because we didn’t like our accommodation. The Old Bank was like a warm hug! Everyone was really friendly, clean and well spaced tables in Covid times. Our dog was really welcomed and we enjoyed chats about everyone’s dogs. We had the Beef which was one of the most flavourful and melt in the mouth Sunday roasts we have ever eaten. The beef itself was medium rare but must have been very well rested as it wasn’t bloody and tasted divine. All the vegetables were delicious and the gravy was a good consistency.We followed this up with an apple and vanilla Mille feuille which was stunning.If you are able to get a table don’t hesitate to book. The food is not cheap but the quality of the ingredients and the skills of the chef mean you are getting a meal to remember and talk about later so on this basis it is excellent value. We have paid similar prices for instantly forgettable food.Thanks Chefs and Aga and her FoH team are delightful - if it wasn’t such a long journey we would be regulars for sure. We will definitely return to The Old Bank when we are next in the area.

We were lucky to get a spot for early dining after a few days on a waiting list and so glad we did. Small, cosy and Covid safe (how mad that we have to say this now!!) the menu was small but the choice and creativity of the dishes was beyond 5*. Service by Kay and Aga was fantastic as was the atmosphere despite less covers. The quality of choice and food by chef Lewis was fantastic. We will definitely be back the next time we stay in Snettisham. An absolute must visit if you are in the area and make sure you book well in advance.

Our first visit for our daughters birthday and we were not disappointed. Restaurant is small and cosy, COVID arrangements were in place but did not affect the atmosphere or the food. Small but perfect menu. Two of us had the set menu, two had the a la carte we were all very impressed with the delicious food. Will certainly visit again if in the area.

Our first visit to this lovely bistro restaurant since the start of the Covid 19 lockdown & one we were very much looking forward to. Protocols were followed with hand sanitizer at the door & social distancing but this in no way interfered with the enjoyment of the occasion which, as usual, was friendly and relaxed. As ever the food was Devine.

Came here for a light lunch with family. Very nice and clean atmosphere inside with pleasant decor. I, with an egg allergy often feel unwelcome in restaurants, and find it difficult to relax and enjoy meals out, but here, no request was too much trouble. The staff were kind and patient, with the chef even coming out of the kitchen to reassure me, and check on details of all of our meals. I've never felt so welcome and at ease in a café and the extra efforts of the owners of The Spontaneous Cuppa really made a difference. I ordered a baked potato, with cheese and chives: the side salad was delicious, as was the potato, and the rest of my family thoroughly enjoyed their meals too. Feeling included in meals like this is important, especially for those of us who have allergies and dietary requirements. I can thoroughly recommend The Spontaneous Cuppa to anyone looking for a tasty lunch, especially to those with extra dietary requirements.

Amazing atmosphere! We went for a hen do and the staff were so kind and attentive. They went out of their way for some dietary requirements and hats off to the chef for their lovely homemade scones. Amanda and the staff were lovely and had time to chat with us about our evening. Would visit again if in the area.
