The Snug in North Norfolk

This fairly small restaurant is quite plain inside but more than makes up for that with the quality of its food. The chef clearly knows his business. It's a place that deserves to do well.

Delicious supper. I had the lamb chops which were simply gorgeous. My friends had the chicken which they really enjoyed. Restaurant was full of happy people. Lovely staff. Special mention for Hannah who was very patient as we took so long to choose.

I had such high hopes for this restaurant having read the reviews but we were totally disappointed in the food and atmosphere. I’m at a loss as to where the word cosy comes into it. Maybe we just caught it on a bad day but it was more like a cafe than a restaurant and the spilt food splashes on the walls didn’t help, no Christmas vibe or cheer at all despite it being New Year’s Eve. The Sunday roast was ok, but spoilt by cumin seeds being sprinkled over the roast carrots and the gravy being very lumpy and it not being piping hot. I think some more honest pictures on their website of the interior would help customers make the right choice for where to spend a special occasion.

Delicious breakfast, yummy ingredients and the toast was so good. Service was good and food arrived quickly. Beautifully decorated and very clean.

Fantastic service and knowledge by the young gentleman waiter. He explained the foods we were unsure of and wine recommendations. There was Mediterranean lemon chicken which myself and a friend had. She had lemon on her plate with a slight sauce glaze whereas mine didn't so much, and the meat was a tad dry. Another friend had the sea bass which was slightly underdone which was quickly corrected in no time and brought back to the table and she enjoyed her meal. Another friend had the partridge and venison and really enjoyed the flavours. We looked at the dessert menu and felt a little underwhelmed as nothing really stood out so we declined.

This was my first visit to the snug, although I'd walked passed loads of times. Will definitely return, my veggie breakfast was fantastic. Service was excellent. What a lovely little place, well worth a visit.

What a lovely find My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our lunch today as part of Norfolk Restaurant Week - in this cute tucked away establishment - cool decor - 3 courses for £20 was excellent value - the portions were just right and the food was very tasty and filling - Service was excellent too

Lovely little place. Very cheap. Select of drinks not great. Waiters fab. But food is cheap and cheerful. Not great taste but meat was fabulous quality. Could be so much more!!! Dauphinois potatoes no flavour whatsoever. Venison cooked to perfection. Borek was tasteless and mega greasy.

We booked The Snug for a Thursday evening while staying in Holt. We enjoyed some lovely food and wine, the staff were great, it was a wonderful evening.

2 friends looking for a QUICK lunch in Holt on a Christmas shopping trip. Not too much time to spare as we had driven a fair way to get to Holt so didn't want to spend too much time over lunch. A friend had recommended The Snug tucked away in Lee's Yard so we decided to follow this up and see for ourselves. We were served with drink quite swiftly and chose our light lunches. And then we waited....and waited. We could see other people being served who had come in after us so were beginning to wonder where ours was. The waitress came to our table and explained there had been a problem in the kitchen. Really? How come everyone else was being served? The meal arrived after 40 minutes and, to be fair, we were offered a complimentary drink to compensate. The food was excellent and we enjoyed our meal but won't rush back

4 adults. Unhurried and thoroughly enjoyable Sunday lunch in a great atmosphere. Between us we had light and really delicately flavoured starters of handmade lamb kofte and crispy squid. Both were incredible, in particular the lamb kofte. Roast pork and crackling, roast beef and Yorkshire puddings and roast venison were all fabulous and the vegetables were delicious. It was appreciated how good it all was when we all sent plates back completely emptied. Desserts of apple sticky toffee pudding (yes, I know it sounds odd but it was amazing) and ice cream, strawberry pavlova and chocolate trifle finished a truly wonderful meal. The Merlot was excellent. Service wise, the staff were interested and attentive and Paul the owner and chef made a point of checking in with all tables. It’s £18.95 for a roast main which is competitively priced for the area and having eaten around here a lot, this is one of the best in quality and value. We will definitely go back. And soon. Fantastic.

It was a lovely night out and the staff were all excellent the food was amazing thanks for a lovely evening.100% would recommend

Very unsatisfactory with my experience Found this little place and thought id give it a try. Food was fancy but tasteless will cheap products. Left sitting ages before waitress came and took our order. Place half empty but still waited 30 minutes for main course....

Absolutely awesome food. So fresh and delicious. We had a fabulous evening here. Staff were amazing even sorted a taxi out for us when they were very scarce.

Had a superb Thai Meal last night. So lovely to see Paul again after many years. Libby and the other girls who were working there were an absolute delight. Great service, lovely atmosphere, lovely & clean. Couldn't fault anything & can't wait to go back. Thankyou all.

What a great place to eat! We've just enjoyed a delicious breakfast here - a breakfast stack for me and a full English for my husband. Gorgeous sourdough bread and very tasty sausages in particular. The staff were very chatty and welcoming too. I would...

We came here on two consecutive mornings for breakfast on our recent stay in Holt and sampled the Full English, Veggie Breakfast, Poached Eggs on Avocado and Sausage Sandwiches. Everything was piping hot and very tasty with super friendly service. Lovely washrooms too! The lunch...

This spot is really excellent for a light evening meal which was all we wanted before travelling home. We came for coffee two days ago and came back as it was so good. Fab loos too and customer service is excellent.

This restaurant is absolutely amazing 10/10. Paul & all the staff are super friendly. To top it off the food is absolutely amazing. For dinner I started with the garlic and chilli prawns as an appetiser and for a main I had the chicken burger...

Lovely retreat in Holt But unfortunately not great food. No water offered on a hot day. Steak so rare we had to ask for it to be cooked a bit more. No salad. All a bit boring

A lovely evening, Thai night,delicious, friendly efficient team, upgraded our wine order as original request wasn't available,we appreciated this gesture, very professional. Would highly recommend a visit, we will hopefully return next time we are in the area. Thank you.

A hidden gem ! Went for breakfast and found it superb. The full English was fresh with great sausages and lovely potatoes, the Avocado with eggs perfect, and the eggs benedict fresh and tasty. Service by the young team was friendly and efficient.. the lemon...

If you’re looking for a small intimate venue for a special celebration, then look no further than The Snug. We recently celebrated our 40th Wedding Anniversary there with our family and all our guests agreed what a delightful venue it was, and that the food...

We came across this little gem by our chance, we had been travelling around the area and decided to stop I Holt for something to eat, we fancied something light but filling. The snug, well this fitted the bill just right, opting for just two...

Last night’s “Burger Tuesday” was delicious and the coleslaw was out of this world. All the staff were so welcoming and professional. A great credit to Paul and his team. Booked again. Thank you.

Spotted the sign and popped in unplanned. We were quickly seated and served. Great coffee, lovely food. Really good selection for a lunchtime meal/snack and nice quality. Friendly and speedy service. We will definitely be back.

Amazing, huge beautifully cooked breakfast and good coffee. Local quality meat and veg, not at all greasy. Excellent value for £10.95! Very friendly staff and dog friendly. Would like to try the rest of their menu!

Located down a blink-and-miss-it side street, this was the culinary highlight of our trip to Holt. Dog friendly, small and compact venue with some outdoor seating. Limited table space so very 'snug' indeed, but a refreshing change from the typical restaurants with formulaic and predictable...

Wow, what a lovely place. The atmosphere was lovely and we were well looked after. The food was excellent and our waitress, Libby, was amazing. If you’re gluten free, there are so many options including dessert. It’s the type of place that you need to...

Wow! Just waddled back from the most incredible Thai meal here! Portion sizes were huge - if we had a fridge in our hotel room, we would have brought home a doggy bag. Staff were really lovely and whilst the place is pretty small there...

We ate here twice last week whilst visiting Holt.Regular menu on Saturday, and Thai on Wednesday. Service excellent both times. Food great both times but the Thai was exceptional! Portions massive!

We went on a Weds which is Thai night, and we weren’t disappointed. The portions were huge, many people were taking “doggy bags “ home. The staff were really friendly. The food was fabulous and authentic (they have a Thai chef for Weds), deserts sounded...

My wife and I went for a bite in the evening to this fabulous little bistro. Was very happy to hear Simon and Garfunkel playing in the background. Our starter and mains were excellent and cooked very well. We liked it so much, we went...

What a great find, first time to Holt and found this delightful venue. Great welcome, Great Coffee, Great Cake and Great Service. Congrats

So as a family we often dine here, not just for lunch with a nice glass of wine but often on one of the many theme evenings. We live locally and think it important to support local businesses that are good at they do. The...

Thursday night curry night. Oh dear. Both curries were very sweet and not very nice. It appeared that the Naan was shop bought and the rice was like 'uncle bens'! Very disappointed. However, when we gave feedback they reduced the bill by 20% without us...

Very Old friends who moved to Holt a few years ago, booked The Snug for the Wednesday evening Thai night for a much anticipated reunion. Your reviewer has eaten a fair few Thai meals over the years, and this was some of the best I...

Lovely little find in the back streets of Holt . If we hadn’t have had a cooked breakfast at our accommodation we would have loved the roast , it looked and smelt amazing . Lovely staff and delicious lemon and elderflower cake, one of the...

Gorgeous breakfast at this place, tucked away in busy Holt. Quality ingredients, generous portions and well priced.

Really great meal, the food is very classic with some twists, cooked very well. Relaxed environment and friendly service. Only small niggles are the venison in the starter was over cooked, some pieces had no pink atall and the salt and pepper shakers are that...

Had a lovely lunch in this modern bright and clean cafe. Very nice food at a reasonable price, pleasant staff and very dog friendly.

My friend and I enjoyed brunch at The Snug this week. It’s a small cosy, intimate little gem hidden away in Holt. The food was delicious and the coffee really good. Nice friendly helpful staff and good value for money. We will definitely be back.

Lovely and welcoming with friendly staff. Absolutely the best veggie breakfast I have ever had anywhere!! Generous portions and excellent quality. We will definitely visit again.

Amazing doggy friendly cafe! Very much recommend the avocado and poached eggs 😋😋 Really friendly and we was made to feel so welcome… especially our furry family member!

Went for the Thai evening. Absolutely wonderful meal one off, if not the best Thai meal we have had. Portions were more than generous. Service was excellent and friendly, Cant wait for the next visit.

Excellent- great little place. Went late afternoon and they were brilliant. Cooked for three of us even though lunches had finished. Food was great - thoroughly recommend

So glad we made a point of going to The Snug after seeing some brilliant reviews. It definitely lived up to those glowing reviews, and we are very happy to become regular customers there. Not only is the food really delicious, but the staff are...

Found this cafe bistro by chance while visiting Holt. Had delicious lunch there - we both had a salad of warm goats cheese, bacon and roasted figs on a bed of salad with balsamic glaze. It was delicious and substantial- we also noticed another couple...

Went here for Thai evening for my birthday and then again a few weeks later with friends on a Saturday evening. The food on the Thai night was fantastic. You could opt for level of spicing that suited you on the main dishes which was...

We ate here for the 1st time this week and realised we had been missing out. It is tucked away but definitely worth seeking out. The food was very tasty and good value for money. Service was friendly and we will certainly return when next...

We had a three course meal from the restaurant menu. Our first visit here and it won’t be the last. Very tasty well presented food. The lamb shank was particularly good but we enjoyed everything. One of the best meals we have had recently and...

We’d never tried The Snug for dinner but glad we did. Very welcoming, nice sensible menu and good food. The dog was made very welcome and just a lovely evening all round. 2 courses for £16. Absolute bargain!

We rated 5* as the food, coffee and service are excellent. We came last year and loved this place and once again did not disappoint. #qualityfood#deliciouscakes#friendly

Stopped by as we had previously purchased some delicious pastries to take away. Located slightly off the main thoroughfare with seating upstairs and an outside courtyard seating area. Lovely dog friendly staff, good service and very tasty produce at a reasonable price. Will definitely pay...

Highly recommend, great food friendly staff also cater very well for any intolerances and allergies. Reasonable but good quality.

We stopped here for coffee and pastry. Good coffee and a nice little outdoor space. We took our dog and sat outside. A cosy little place. I would be happy to return.

The food was actually really fantastic, compliments to the chef. The waiting staff seem a bit dim, like they don't know much about the type of food they are serving. Dog friendly which is strange considering it's a very small setting. Doesn't seem very family...

This was our first night out in Holt and we had a first class foodie experience. We had the lamb rump which was tender and delicious and the Snug burger which was succulent, and the chips were yummy. I managed to squeeze in a lemon...

Had a wonderful 3 course meal here with friends & our dog. Sat in the beautiful quaint courtyard to eat our absolutely delicious starters & mains (the chicken satay starter was amazing) then moved inside to finish off the night with tasty desserts & coffee....

We had an amazing Sunday lunch here last week. There were 4 of us, 2 had beef, 1 had the pork and I had the lamb. All the vegetables were cooked nicely and tasted great. My lamb was perfect as was the pork.. our friends...

What a lovely little find. Walked in from the street, no booking and sat down outside in the quaint little courtyard. Breakfast was spot on. Husband had full English, I had the eggs Royale..service was friendly and efficient..we will be back. Highly recommend this little...

We visited on a Wednesday which is Thai night. Great atmosphere in the restaurant. Staff very helpful and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious. Freshly prepared. We were able to say how spicy we wanted it. The best meal I have had for a long...

Wonderful atmosphere, tasteful decoration and the food was amazing - no wonder they are regularly booked up! Well worth a visit, I cannot wait to go again!

We were recommended this restaurant by a family who had just left and weren’t going to try as we thought it was only big meals, but glad we went in. Staff were very attentive and the menu was great. We had sandwiches and paninis and...

Found this on a short trip to north Norfolk - worth looking for it as other places were nowhere near the mark. Visited three times. Food was really good. Cakes were the best - both gluten free and not. Friendly staff, served quickly.

Perfect meal and very attentive staff. A lovely hidden gem. Nothing was too much trouble. Compliments to the chef for a lovely Thai meal.

We had a fantastic meal on Saturday evening in The Snug, Holt. My fish dish was delicious and the wine was fab. Lovely environment and happy people. Highly recommend.

Beautiful meal for four on a girls weekend away. The small but perfectly formed menu had something for all of us. A cosy, modern restaurant, excellent host, good wine, what more do you need?

After enjoying lunch at 'The Snug', we went for dinner one evening, and on both occasions enjoyed the homemade breads and delicious food. The owner and staff are welcoming and attentive, and the ambience is relaxing on both floors. This is carefully prepared food to...

Just popped in for a coffee but found cakes too delightful to refuse! This is a wonderful cafe, staff are friendly, coffee strong and cakes far too tempting. Vanilla slice and chocolate brownie absolutely perfect - compliments to their baker.

Wonderful evening at The Snug, we had popped in for lunch on several occasions and decided to book for Saturday evening. A charming welcome from the extremely professional and knowledgeable staff with Paul at front of house could not have been better. The food and...

Popped in here for a lunch snack after visiting nearby Felbrigg Hall with local friends, and was pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent, well priced and the staff were extremely friendly; what more could you ask for!

Came across this wandering about Holt on a Monday morning when a number of eateries were closed. A fortunate find as the food staff attitude and ambiance are just right. Availed ourselves of the breakfast menu. This venue is licensed. Well worth popping in.

Came again as last time was very satisfied and wasn’t disappointed the triple cooked chips were just as good as two years ago. Had cheese and chutney on ciabatta bread and shared portion of triple cooked chips. No complaints again and glad we came back....

Looking for somewhere dog friendly in Holt, we found this tucked away in Lee Yard. Wow, what a find! Totally dog friendly, immaculately clean and wonderful service. The freshly baked cakes were really tempting, we were offered both the breakfast and lunch menu to choose...

I bumped into a friend in Holt and rather than stand there chatting for an hour she suggested to hit The Snug. It was ideal for our coffee/tea moment and catch up. I had a perfect coffee and my friend an unusual tea but all...

What a fantastic little cafe/bistro. Had the pleasure of finding this little gem on a weekend away,what fantastic food and service with a local lad who's passionate and dedicated to his restaurant. Couldn't fault the food, had a great lunch,but our evening dinner was brilliant,...

First class service with a smile greeted us today on our first visit to The Snug. Its tucked away from Holt’s hustle and bustle and it really is like Holt’s best kept secret. We were shown an interesting menu that was significantly different from the...

Great sunday lunch now on offer at this gem of a place..lovely menu choice...great size portions of piping hot food...really enjoyed our visit

We had breakfast here this morning and I just had to write a review. Everything was perfect from the coffee to the breakfast. The staff were very friendly, attentive and polite. We will definitely be back again.

Sadly we were both disappointed by the food a weird COLD wrap that needed wrapping with accompaniments on the side. Had to send back the wine as the glass not clean, second glass not much better. I wiped it with a tissue before I drank...

What a lovely place for a romantic meal...looks amazing inside and out....freindly host ... great food and amazing wine....will be returning in the near future

This cafe was a lovely find, tucked in the off street of Holt. Lovely menu. Nicely presented and very tasty. Prompt service.

Looking for somewhere local to eat whilst staying in Holt. Came across the Snug on Trip advisor. Good reviews so gave it a go, we were not disappointed. Husband and I both throughly enjoyed our meals. All was very tasty, hot and well presented and...

After trailing around a half term Holt high street, we found this lovely little hide away. Cakes had a homemade taste. Coffee was excellent. My son had amazing cheesy chips. Very chilled out ambience and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

We were just looking for coffee and a sandwich but the menu here is so amazing we ended up having lunch and pudding. Food is delicious and the staff are really lovely . They were happy to accommodate our dog and even provided him with...

Popped in today during our day visit to Holt. Had a nice quiet table on the upstairs section of this light am cosy restaurant. We had a light lunch including Bruschetta with feta and tapenade and a baked squash full of middle eastern ingredients absolutely...

There are plenty to choose from, but this surely is one of the best places to wine and dine in Holt. The Snug is hidden away down one of the many alleyways of this delightful small town. Outside is a charming small courtyard with tables....

Really enjoyed our vist, food and service were excellent. Not the easiest place to find at dark look for the boards on the pavement on the main road at bottom of Albert street. Menu has a good variety, my partner said the lamb was cooked...

A wonderful touch of the Mediterranean and Turkey lovingly presented. This is now our 3rd visit and every time the food has been excellent with a new range of dishes to choose from. The meze sharing platter is our go to for starters, then a...

We fancied a light bite to eat when visiting Holt, and we have always been to The Snug this was the second time since it had been renovated. From the moment we walked in we were made to feel so welcome. The Smug has an...

Stopped off at The Snug as it was a go to place in the past. Under new ownership for a year now but it still had the same great atmoshere. Sausage sandwich was good quality and freshly cooked, you could tell. The scones snd cakes...

What an amazing little find. The guy who owns it is so passionate about his restaurant & it shows in the food. Loved that the Turkish / Mediterranean menu was so different from anything else on offer in this lovely town. The seabass koftas are...

Fantastic new find The Snug in Holt the best coffee we’ve had in a long time great cakes and very friendly staff thoroughly recommended!

A real gem! we had a lovely family lunch and 4 fussy eaters were happy. All the food is made from scratch and not the usual bread and pasta based fayre of market / holiday resorts. My crab salad was under £10 and included a...

We visited for lunch. We found it to be very friendly and accommodating and indeed it was dog friendly when we asked so we felt welcome to stay with our little dog they even mentioned there was already a large dog in upstairs to check...

Second visit went last year. Food as good as before if not better facilities good, staff excellent and to cap it all the table and chairs were cleaned down between customers. First rate.

It’s easy to miss The Snug, tucked away down an alley but discovering it reveals a lovely surprise - a restaurant with a simple but extremely tasty menu. Owner Paul is a true foodie and offers mostly Eastern Mediterranean dishes, influenced by his travels and...

Absolutely lovely little find for breakfast. Warm and welcoming team, dog friendly and incredible food. The menu has lots of choice and the atmosphere is chilled.

Came in a couple of weeks ago on a whim, having heard some good things about it. Lovely flavourful food and good portions, really enjoyed the Mediterranean flavours. Really really great service, Rachel (who served us) was friendly and helpful throughout our visit - good...
