The Roman Camp Inn in North Norfolk

We held my dad's life celebration at the Roman Camp this week following his funeral, and we couldn't fault it. The staff were amazing, so friendly and looking out for us. It was such a lovely ambience and the food was fantastic, which was so important to us as dad was such a foodie. We had the afternoon tea and added some bucks fizz on arrival. The food is all made on site and you could tell. Thank you so much for making a difficult day still a lovely one.

Over the summer we’ve been here quite a few times for Sunday lunch & also dinner on Saturday evenings and it’s been consistently good, even when we’ve been later in day (it’s one of the few places where Sunday roast is served into the evening). Last Sunday we sat out in the beautiful garden. Each time, the service has been good and the food delicious and especially love the summer pudding - my favourite!

Called in for a late lunch and our six meals were all ok but generally uninspiring. The staff were most friendly and service somewhat tardy.

The owner of the B & B we stayed at recommended this Restaurant to us. Booked by phone and when arrived were shown into the Conservatory where our table was waiting. The meal was excellent and the the staff were well groomed and extremely friendly . The whole experience was fantastic

Our first time at the Roman camp Inn and were not disappointed Staff friendly and could not not do enough for you Hotel and room spotless restaurant excellent Food excellent lovely garden setting with Garden bar Stayed for Week end and have already booked again

We had a lovely Sunday lunch here it was absolutely beautiful, we sat in the garden which was stunning, the outside bar made everything so much easier to do. Harry looked after us and he was lovely and friendly and nothing was too much trouble.

Good service and great food served in the garden on a pleasant summer evening. The sea bass was excellent and the beer was great served from the garden bar.

Fantastic food sadly poor service. Meals preordered. Children had to wait causing distress despite asking for their meals to be served first. Large group and those who had starters had their main meals before those who hadn’t which included the children. Children’s deserts ice cream so easy to serve still last to be served. Not fair on a 3 year old. For that reason would not recommend for families with children. No water on the table or offers. Very disappointing

We celebrated my wife’s big birthday at The Roman Camp . The food was great , the service and organisation was exceptional . We entertained over 20 people and had a great night . I would recommend The Roman Camp for a big celebration or just a meal out .

£3.10 rip-off, a tiny cup of bitter, flavorless scarcely warm "coffee" at the bar. I would struggle to make such a horrible brew. A highly disappointing experience I will never repeat.

There are lots of choice for gluten intolerant. Went with a friend who is gluten intolerant and she was so happy she could have a fish and chips gluten free. The choice is good and adequate and service is good.

Had an excellent lunch here with our relations. Food was really good and setting was lovely in the conservatory. The Mussels and Welsh Rarebit along with the mushrooms on ciabata were all winners.

Went here before COVID and had a lovely meal in soft armchairs in front of a roaring open fire. Decided to go again, same time of year but 4 years later and was quite disappointed to find the lovely bar area completely deserted with no fires lit. We were sat in the dining room, which is lovely, but we were on a little table for two near the entrance so not very relaxing or cosy. No where near as lovely as the bar area. There was a wake going on at the same time in the conservatory, but this didn’t seem to affect service which was very good and friendly. I had the steak and kidney pudding which was just amazing, I know trying to repeat an experience can be risky, but it was just like I remembered it. More gravy would have been nice. My husband had fish and chips but was a bit disappointed with his meal. The batter was very pale and he said it was undercooked in places and the chips were also very pale, a bit hard and not very tasty. He likened them to cheap oven chips. The actual fish was very good though. We didn’t have pudding because we simply could eat any more. I really hope the bar with the fires were not in use because they were dealing with a wake, it would be a real shame if that’s what it’s like all the time. Might pop back soon to see if the bar area is back in action again.

We have always enjoyed dropping into The Roman Camp for a drink or a meal, but this was the first time we had stayed. The comfy, well equipped room and the delicious, beautifully presented meals were excellent, but above everything were the warm welcome and the friendly, helpful people who run and staff the inn that made our stay so special. Thank you.

Just returned from a lunch at the Roman Camp Inn. Saw it the day before when passing and thought it looked nice. We had lunch in the beautiful, bright and spotless conservatory, which looked new and was very large but welcoming. The service was excellent and the food was exemplary. Staff were attentive but not intrusive. Both meals were very well cooked and the presentation was lovely. Would thoroughly recommend.

We ate here several times during our stay in Aylmerton. The food is excellent, the service is faultless and the inn itself is beautiful, a really nice ambience. The steak and kidney pudding is to die for, perfect winter comfort food. All the dishes we had (haddock and chips, burger, chicken supreme, lamb rump and the OMG steak and kidney pudding) were excellent, first class ingredients and expertly cooked. The staff are friendly and very welcoming. Would thoroughly recommend.

This restaurant has restored our faith in receiving a beautifully cooked meal. We came here for a festive lunch with friends today( Xmas Eve). The food was delicious and presented beautifully. The service and welcome was second to none and all in all very good value for money. We certainly will recommend this restaurant to our friends and will be back. Well done to the whole team. We even finished off with free sausage rolls and mince pies! A very enjoyable experience.

A great place to eat, the food was very good as was the service. After our dinner we sat by the fire and had coffee. Nice and relaxing. Would highly recommend.

The food was good (exception below) and the restaurant and gardens were lovely. The service however left much to be desired. As a rule I am uncomfortable making any complaint but when you see later arrivals being served their food first (4 other tables) and waiting 55 minutes for 2 meals, in a reasonably quiet restaurant. (7 occupied tables) I did feel we couldn’t leave without raising our observations. And if dealt with satisfactorily this review would have been better. I did raise issues with the waitress who said she was in charge of service but only received ‘I don’t know’ or ‘I was on my break’ as responses. I gave up trying to resolve our problems. Sadly lacking in customer relation skills. The roast beef dinner ordered by one of the party had 50% fat on in it. Please see photo below. This point was not addressed satisfactorily either (ie will charge you 50% or free drink or coffee) but with ‘I will tell the chef’. I wasn’t looking for free meals but some acknowledgement that they had failed to meet reasonable expectations of a dining experience.

We have eaten here 3 times over the summer and both the service and the food have been excellent every time. We will be going back next summer.

Had dinner here on 2nd September, restaurant was fully booked but staff set us up in the bar area which was still very comfortable and welcoming. There were four of us and the food was excellent and reasonably priced, staff were very friendly and attentive. We enjoyed the meal so much we returned for dinner on the 3rd September, this time in the restaurant area, again we had an excellent meal, the Sunday roast. This pub/hotel is very comfortable, clean and a great place to eat.

We came here four times in the two weeks we spent on holiday every time was beautiful, the food was fabulous we could not fault a thing and we tried out various different things between the four of us. The garden was lovely and the patio area was really nice. Would recommend to anyone who wants a peaceful lunch without children running riot. Our waitress was so lovely she was in training apparently but we see her as trained she was adorable nothing was too much trouble. Thank you so much.

Your not be disappointed. Lovely place to eat and relax. Food was excellent and the service first class, can't ask for more. Lovely gardens and plenty of parking. We live just down the road so will be calling in again very soon.

Stopped here as it was en route to our destination. It’s more catered for the older generation but they do have a kid’s menu which satisfied our two. Service was good, food was lovely. Not your cheapest of meals but it was value for money in our eyes. Drawback was that it was on a busy trunk route so turning towards Cromer took some time. Certainly worth a stop though if you fancy a change from fish and chips!

We had a fantastic afternoon, catching up with family over lunch and drinks. The food was amazing, three portions of warm sausage rolls with a side salad and onion jam, one cheese and pickle sandwich with salad and fries and one duck wrap with salad. Not a scrape of food left on the plate. We had drinks of beer, larger orange and pomegranate and water. The grounds we lively full of colour and wild life. Although not the venues fault, we were in the countryside but two many wasps. The hospitality staff were great, Hayden Wells, was our attendee and served us well, nothing was too much trouble. Tables were clean, well spread out Dogs were welcomed, as long as you cleaned up after them, dog bin provided.. Good wheelchair ♿️ access to the lower lawn and into the hotel itself, not sure about the high part of the garden. Although the pond had access. The downside are no umbrellas to keep the sun off. We changed tables a couple of times, due to the sun attacking me. I have to keep in the shade. Will be back again. Well done everyone.

We popped in as we were passing, so glad we did! Dogs (except assistance dogs) aren’t allowed indoors, fair enough, so we sat in the beautiful garden. It was raining when we arrived, but luckily there were a couple of open sheds with table and chairs. The menu has plenty of choices, OH had welsh rarebit, which looked and tasted delicious. I opted for afternoon tea; wow, it was absolutely yummy! The finger sandwiches were packed with filling, excellent selection of (not so) mini cakes and two homemade scones which were accompanied by homemade jam. All of the staff were friendly. The young lady who served us was really lovely and very friendly. Definitely recommend, and hope to pop in again!

Bar area is oldie worldie absolutely beautiful. Service is exceptional. Deco is beautiful plenty of leather arm chairs to relax in. Staff extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The selection of gins and beers are very good. We had a meal one night. My husband's male was outstanding. He had the duck to start and the lamb was rostto for his main. However my meal was very mediocre. The chicken liver pâté with onion chutney was tasteless. The fish and chips were very basic. I would have expected thick cut chips and homemade mushy peas. The chips were Mediocre along with the garden peas. This is definitely a place to visit. The outside garden is amazing and presently they are building a glasshouse.

Went for sunday roast had pork there was no crackling, the yorkshire had collapsed ,not enough gravy not a patch on last time come on sort it out we really like this pub

Really nice place and serving staff are lovely and efficient. Went for Sunday lunch we’re disappointed with our experience. My partner asked for both beef and pork and said he’d happily pay extra - this was not deemed possible! Mashed potato was pre prepared and cold. Yorkshires we’re soft and flat. The yorkshires have been commented on in other reviews. None of the reviews have been answered. We did get food bill reduced on one meal after our request due to cold food, but only on request. Shame it’s a really nice location - but recently refurbished Cliftonville in Cromer and Dales in Sheringham are prepared to listen to what their customers want. Won’t go back to Roman Camp for Sunday lunch . Actually we should have left abs gone elsewhere when they refused to do half pork half beef - anywhere that won’t respect its customer doesn’t deserve the trade.

3rd visit to the Roman Camp Inn. Food was fantastic with excellent service by the staff. Highly recommended and now a stable on our visits to North Norfolk

This was our first time here and the last.Firstly! when our food was been brought it did look good on this large square plate but? As I started to eat it the Pork was all fat; Cabbage wasnt cooked, Potatoes wasnt roasted properly and the Batters was flat and soggy Not enough Vegetables! We have had better meals in a Cafe Meals like this does not give us any reason to return! We dont understand how this hotel is rated a 4star!

It was late on a Sunday afternoon and we fancied a Sunday roast. We rang a few places but all stopped serving at 3pm. Then we remembered the sign we’d passed while out on a walk the previous weekend which said The Roman Camp serves Sunday Roast until 9pm. We arrived around 6pm and found a table outside in the sunshine. We would’ve preferred to have sat out on the grassed area, as we had doggie with us, but we’re told food is only served on the terrace. Not sure why this makes any diffference, as there was only one other couple outside and they were only drinking. So we did as requested and sat on the terrace. The gardens are beautiful. The choice of roast was Beef or Pork. It was served on a bed of roast potatoes and vegetables, carrots, leeks, cabbage with some mash potato too. The pork & beef were both delicious. And the gravy was lovely and thick & tasty. The Yorkshire’s weren’t massive & a bit flat but tasted good. Overall it was a lovely to sit outside in the sunshine and eat a lovely dinner and we will definitely return.

Fabulous roast the staff are fantastic we have been many times for a drink the roast pork was amazing great menu and marvellous value for money check it out you wont get a better dunday lunch

Nice friendly atmosphere in this restaurant with good wholesome food. The portions were excellent. It is quite busy so booking advisable. We had the haddock risotto and lasagna, both very good.

Perfect! Staff couldn’t have made us feel more welcome, even recognised us from a previous short visit to make the booking. The food was excellent - we were celebrating a BIG birthday and the chef, barman and waitress went out of their way to make...

always get a lovely friendly welcome. have eaten here a few times lately, really bright and welcoming and the food was great. will definitely be back again

My partner and I took some friends there for an early dinner so it was fairly quiet. We've been several times before and always had a good experience so it was no surprise that the service was excellent (even better than usual in fact). The...

Been several times for drinks in the garden which is lovely! We decided to treat ourselves to Sunday lunch - so disappointing ! Seasonal veg ? A small ( very small) portion of greenish/grey chopped up veg, tough, chewy beef ( ate because we were...

Just came back from a lovely evening here, food and service was outstanding, great atmosphere for the 1940 weekend too, will definitely be back

Reviews earlier this year were rather off-putting but our host at a small local holiday centre recommended it and it only took a few minutes to drive there. First impressions good - a warm and friendly welcome and a nice ambiance. Relatively short menu (makes...

Whilst driving out of Cromer looking for somewhere to eat we came across this place! Looks great, staff were friendly and helpful, the menu was great. When leaving I was looking for the Michelin Star on the walk outside….. portions were small and the prices...

Been going here for over ten years always excellent. Went today 22.06.22, for first time in a couple of years. Found staff incapable of attending to bad and serving drinks to people eating meals stating table service only for drinks or meals. Waited one hour...

Easy to book a table. Very pleasant and efficient service. Food delivered timely and we cleared all three courses, so safe to say enjoyed it 😁

I recently decided to go to the Roman camp for the first time to try it out. I was appalled by the standard and quality of the food. Everything was cold and my drink was only filled 1/2 way. The service was also dreadful. You...

For a restaurant purporting to be better than pub grub which you can get anywhere, this was very disappointing. Badly cooked food and overpriced.

Visited this afternoon for a meal..It was lovely...the waitress called Fiona was excellent & very helpful & attentive....It was fairly quiet in there & no pub atmosphere but I guess it's due to the covid restrictions still as previously it's a warm friendly atmosphere...theres been...

Called in a few times for drinks whilst staying at a local holiday cottage and decided to try breakfast. It was absolutely delicious. Choice of cereals, yoghurts, juices followed by choice of cooked breakfast We both chose the full English. Perfectly cooked and beautifully presented....

Straightforward good gastro food. Choices great. Website shows current menu. Specials available. We had excellent fish pie stuffed with white fish and a cheese and leek soufflé. Both so hot and tasty. Sweets were exquisite. Service excellent from two waitresses. Thoroughly recommend.

My wife and I ate here on a Saturday evening in December. My pork dish was wonderful and the gluten free fish & chips was one of several dishes available for those seeking gluten free food. I’d definitely recommend this to others

Bar staff polite and welcoming, service great but three locals were abusive to us from the outset - for no reason at all. They clearly thought they were hilarious in their swearing and inappropriateness.

We stopped of here on a road trip in Norfolk. First of all the place looks lovely from the outside & is very inviting. We were seated quickly & ordered the leek & potato soup. I’ve got to say it was the best leek &...

A friend and I called in on the off chance for lunch today and were so pleased we did. Really good food and great service from a very pleasant young waiter. It was a such a pleasant environment and we will certainly visit again when...

We stopped here for lunch and was pleasantly surprised - the front of the Inn really does not do it justice. When you walk round the back there are lots of charming eating areas. We were lucky to get a table on the top terrace...

We ate in restaurant and bar every night As food was delicious Very good service Sanatizer was all over the place felt safe

A pleasant if unexceptional lunch in pleasant if unexceptional surroundings. The food was OK as was the service, but I probably wouldn't go back

We booked a 2 night stay, visiting friends locally. We paid £260 for Bed and Breakfast. The staff were very helpful and attentive throughout. The original older building housing the Bar, Lounge and Dining Room, is very nice with lovely panelling and a comfortable "Traditional"...

We ate earlier today. The food was ok and the restaurant area is fine….. outdoor area looked pretty good but it is next door to a petrol station…… We would not return as it wasn’t anything special….. no one asked if we had enjoyed and...

Extremely friendly staff. Beautiful garden. Although we didn’t eat, the food smelt good and could hear diners compliments

We loved our meal here whilst on holiday in Blakeney. We were a party of 7 (split across 2 tables, but next to each other) with ages 9 to 74 and everyone enjoyed their meal. Top notch food using quality ingredients and amazing flavours. The...

We visited for family meals as we were in holiday close by. We had 4 lovely meals. The fish n chips were excellent. The service was really good. The waiting staff were friendly and attentive. I highly recommend it. A real find.

So we booked for a meal for 2 with a dog and was told that this was all fine and confirmed. We got there and as we were walking in a waitress called over “wooah hold on you can’t go in there with the dog”....

After a couple of miles trick from Cromer we fell upon this Inn needing a good break. We’re not disappointed the food was good, suet pud and a couple of open sandwiches. Dogs were accommodated and the surroundings were great, will be back when next...

Food was delicious! lovely view from the terrace area, staff are all very friendly and attentive. Quite and very relaxing place to stay and have a few drinks! the establishment is 100% covid safe which is a huge bonus! :) had a lovely experience here.

The place is lovely and has lots of potential. Unfortunately as the prices are so high and the food is less than average it is not a massive disappointment. Our very anticipated family gathering was spoilt and we spent a lot of money.

Been here for a drink a number of times. Booked ahead on the busy bank holiday Monday. Lovely view from terrace over gardens. Only ordered mains. Good, cooked to liking steak, decent scampi with proper hand cut chips and I had a decent crab linguine....

The Deluxe double room has lots of noise - an extremely loud fire alarm in every morning at 8.09 am and loud water-dropping noises coming through the ceiling right above the bed while upstairs guests were showing. No hat water after 10.30 pm. Staff started...

Had a great lunch today! Even moved table so that we could sit in the sunshine! Team very attentive and helpful, as we enjoyed our light lunch. The crab linguine was fabulous

TV did not work.Heating off cold towel rail. hot water took aleast five minutes to come hot The Inn cold. clean. under very difficult situations daughter of owner great.Stingy cold breakfast.

My wife and daughter have coeliac disease which we informed the restaurant of when we booked, again when we ordered and a third time to check when the food arrived. After we had finished, a waitress came over to tell us one of the meals...

Picturesque gardens here maintained with care and oodles of tables for meals outside. On this occasion we ate within the building. A strong covid care approach conducted in a caring way by staff both new and experienced. We had two tasty lamb shank meals ....

Go somewhere else if you have children as this pub is not child friendly. Been here before with kids and never had an issue. Not sure what it is with a few pubs in north Norfolk this weekend. Stuck up their own arses.

We were staying nearby so decided to eat here. The garden is amazing and has lots of areas for sitting in. We decided to sit inside as I was a bit chilly. I chose the seafood platter which consisted of crab, fried whitebait and smoked...

Bank holiday Monday lunchtime - Walked here from Felbrigg Hall (NT) with the dog so had worked up a reasonable appetite. No problems with getting a table in the beautiful gardens, in the sun, but out of the cool wind. Drinks order taken immediately &...

We have just had the most disappointing meal and experienced extremely poor customer service this evening. We had a table booked for a meal, we ordered starters, I ordered Gammon, Egg and Chips and my wife ordered the Nut Roast. Our starters arrived 20 minutes...

Excellent food with friendly service. My only comment for improvement would be as follows: We were escorted to a function room above the main pub and dining area due to what I can only see as Covid restrictions however, I would say it was like...

All the staff were charming and very helpful. Breakfast was a limited offering with only basic fare. At £120 per night the room with breakfast was overpriced; £80-£90 a night would have been a fair price. Good location near Cromer, Felbrigg Hall and the coast.

Great food, exceptional service and value for money. I had the scampi and chips which was lovely. The staff was tentative and professional.

Hotel in a great location for exploring Norfolk. and gardens, staff all very nice, a little bit pricey for accommodation. the only thing that was disappointing was the food and service . we found far better home cooked food in surrounding pubs.

It’s not often I have left a restaurant still feeling hungry, but today at the Roman camp it was dreadful. The staff were overran and too busy, it took far too long to even order a drink let alone order food. When eventually the food arrived it was cold!! One of the waitresses was in tears because she was under so much pressure, which is not fair. Not a good experience and as we are local we will not be going back again!

We booked dinner here one evening during our holiday in nearby Mundesley. We were impressed by the effective but unobtrusive COVID measures and the friendly welcome by the staff. The food was very good (one steak, one HUGE steak and kidney pudding!) and the atmosphere quiet and relaxing. Sadly, it seems that trade has really suffered over the past few difficult months but based on our experience, I’m sure it will flourish again very soon. We will definitely eat here again when eating the area.

Enjoyed a great meal, really good service, no issues with distancing etc. Superb food and a great setting on the outside terrace.

We were here 2 years ago and loved it.This time not as good, although we booked we were not in their book. Wife had a cracked glass, as far as the food goes small portions all at £90.45 for two drinks and three courses each. Sad because I wanted to give it a good review.Just can't get over the portions compared to last time.

Lovely pub, though we only dropped in for a drink. Bar staff were welcoming, and though we didn't eat, the food that we saw being served looked delicious.

It's a pleasure to write this review. Went last night for a family meal on our son's recommendation and so glad we did. The lovely staff were warm, welcoming and friendly and the food was excellent. We were a party of 6 and hit the menu hard with 6 different mains and 6 different puddings - all dishes were lovely and enjoyed by everyone. I had a vegetarian nut roast followed by bread and butter pudding, both delicious. Highly recommended and we will return.

Although the place is very posh and clean and staff very polite. I found it to be un friendly why because my dogs were in a very equipped van. I didn’t take them inside and they knew they were there during the day. Nothing was said by anyone then. I would not have put a animal out at 11 00 pm. It is not on my bucket list ever.

Nice pub with great food. Staff are very friendly. Reasonable choice if beers. I really don’t have more to say.

Had my son's 40th birthday lunch here yesterday, they gave us our own room which was perfect, light, warm and enough room for the grandchildren to play in. The food was great and served by exceptional staff. The barman was very helpful and polite. Overall a great time in a lovely place with great charm and character, we hope to return in the summer and make use of the lovely garden....thank you

Terrible food was very poor quality apparently home made food haddock and chips were tastless steak burger and chips very poor quality tasted cheap and nasty can easily say worst food in any restaurant ever

We had dinner at the Roman Camp Inn it was beautifully presented the staff were wonderful and the food tasted gorgeous!i had roast pork dinner and my other half had Cumberland sausage!

Called in on the off chance and certainly glad we did. Good service and delicious food, just what we needn't on a cold sunday. Don't live far away so will without doubt return.

Called in for a drink one evening last week. Drinks were horrendously expensive. As my Dad would have said "I wanted a drink not to buy the pub"

Generous starter meant we couldn’t do justice to the excellent chilli bowl ( me) and battered haddock (spouse)! Good quality food at reasonable prices with pleasant but unobtrusive service...just what we were looking for in the circumstances for our evening meal.

Lovely friendly pub ,amazing beer garden, great food , was amazed at the size of the beer garden which is such a surprise because you can’t see it from the road, even tho they were extremely busy the service was very efficient, well worth a visit

It offers a good varied menu and comes at a reasonable price. The service is pleasant without be intrusive and served well.

Ate here after a day out in Norfolk and needing somewhere to fill our bellies. This place definitely did that! We ordered a couple of pints and chose our meals. I had the duck which was overcooked so informed the staff of this when I was asked how the meal was (after all it was not cheap - £14.95). I received a beautifully cooked meal in replacement and the roast potatoes were so good (that I had been stealing from hubby's plate whilst I waited for my dinner). Staff friendly too. Will be back when in the area.

We had a very busy day at Holkham Hall so on our way back to our holiday home we decided to make a late stop at the Roman Camp, the staff were all extremely pleasant and polite a credit to The Roman Camp, the premises are deceptive really lovely inside and beautiful gardens at the rear of the building.

If you fancy something a little different, then this is the place. Fancy fish and chips? Don’t just look at other peoples’ plates, order it yourself! Too late? You won’t be sorry to return in fact, you will want to to have the other dishes!

Nice traditional pub with good food that you could eat in the restaurant or the bar. Really really friendly staff
