This was a regular haunt for breakfast pre-covid - but on our return we were disappointed with the food not up to the same standard and the "personality" somewhat missing

Table seating a free for all with them not being santatised in between diners. Food over priced with limited menu choice unless you like chicken. i had a cider and my partner had a lager tops, both were flat and undrinkable. Not very good value for money a chicken fillet burger £13.00!! Totally overated, will not be returning here.

Food really good. Service really efficient. Just felt like we were part of a well oiled machine! Maybe a little soulless, but nevertheless more than acceptable.

Not good went on the off chance. They said they had no tables and we could eat at the bar. Looking at the dining room there wasn't any one in there. There is a new layout and a bit complicated to find the bar he was talking about. So returned to ask the way. Got a rude response but found the way. Food was horrible. I manged to eat a bit of the side salad. The burger was drenched in oil. Which I might add was oozing out. My wife's chicken was pretty much the same. There was cheese melted all over everything but a very poor quality cheese. Bacon in the burger very fatty and oily. Again neither of us eat much. I took the burgers and the bacon home for our dog. Sorry guys you failed thete as well she refused it as well. My dog isn't fussy either when it comes to meat. The burger tasted more of a hamburger rather than a beef burger. Won't be returning any time soon. My advice give it a massive swerve go McDonald's save yourself £40 .

First day of lockdown restrictions easing and you’d have thought the bubonic plague had hit this useless place! No staff, tables left needing clearing so wasps gathering, can’t park in entrance area of car park (too generous apparently), not allowed inside at all without a mask (too dangerous), no staff coming outside (too dangerous). If this place goes bust it’s incredibly well deserved. Bravo for such a superb effort.Won’t be returning.

Tried to make a reservation online but couldn’t so emailed. Joanne, receptionist, came back to me and told me she would make the reservation for us which was great. Really helpful. When we arrived we used the no contact thermometer to check our temperature... as someone who takes temperatures ALL day at work, i can honestly say this machine is great. I want one!! Got escorted to our table and i explained i have dietary needs and asked to order a child’s meal. There was no problem with this at all and no questions asked. I ordered the carvery and can honestly say i couldn’t finish it all. The beef was tasty, you could tell the gammon was honey roasted and the turkey was moist. The cauliflower cheese was to die for. I am a bit of a foodie when it comes to mac or cauli cheese and can honestly say this was the best i have ever had, including my own!! Hubby had Halloumi Fingers with Chilli Jam for starters, which were huge.. almost like a whole block had been cut into 4 and crumbed and baked. I just had to taste and they were so good. He then had Belly Pork... this was also a generous sized portion and succulently cooked. Followed this with Raspberry and White Chocolate Cheesecake. The layer of raspberry coulis was at least a cm thick. Tasted so nice... a perfect balance between tart and sweet. Would 100% recommend this restaurant. Prices were excellent too. THANK YOU!!

We visited on Saturday 29th August and were warmly greeted at the entrance with information regarding Covid procedures, all of which were sensible. On entering the building our temperature was taken by holding our wrist up. Hand sanitisers are situated throughout the building. We had a carvery which was displayed behind glass screens and was very tasty. All staff were welcoming, helpful and friendly which is not easy when wearing visors. The Stag have definitely got their procedures right and have kept eating out “as normal as possible” in these strange times.

Holidaying in Norfolk. Popped into The stag for lunch. At last an establishment that is dealing with COVID properly. A chap greets you in the car park to explain the procedures and take your track and trace details. Temperature taken and all staff have face shields. Sanitizer is plentiful. We have eaten out a lot this week and this is the first establishment doing this so if you're feeling nervous about heading out, this is the place to go. Truly deserve to be supported and the food and service was fantastic too.

We stopped off here on the off chance of a free table, on our way back from a long day house hunting in Norfolk. We were stopped by the man on the entrance gate, who was extremely polite and helpful. The set up, due to COVID was one of the best I’ve seen.There was luckily a table free outside, as we had 2 dogs also. The service was excellent, meals including kids meals was excellent. First time kids cleared their plates! We have always driven past saying we must go there, over the years. We are so glad we got the chance to try it, will definitely go back.

My girlfriend and I were a little unsure about going out for our first meal since this covid 19 outbreak but our fears were alleviated as The Stag Restaurant have done a brilliant job with they layout,the staff were brilliant especially Natalie (think she was the Manager or Duty Manager)who had a lovely smile,very friendly and could not have been more helpful.The carvery was behind a wall of perspex (or plexiglass)and the chef(s) would serve up the plate as you chose what meats and vegetables you wanted ,finished off with a tasty turkey gravy,I like to drown my food so a waitress was more than happy to get me an extra gravy boat but you can also go up for more vegetables if needed.We felt so comfortable and relaxed at this restaurant,staff were great and the carvery was delicious,we will be going back again soon,thanks to everybody there,we highly recommend this place,Keith and Lynne

Tried to book the restaurant on a Sunday afternoon for 5pm the same day & was surprised to be told it was fully booked so took a chance on getting a table in the bar as we were driving past anyway. Fortunately although the bar was busy we managed to get one of only three tables that were free. Everything was straight forward, we ordered drinks at the bar, then our meals, which arrived pretty quickly considering how busy the place was & they were really nice & reasonably priced.

We as a family of 6 have been using the Stag at Xmas for around 5yrs n they were always pretty good,, well this year I spoke to a Manager (of sorts) to ask the justification in charging a 3-4yr old £40.00 for a meal there only going to have a veg plate n a dessert... His response wasn't acceptable at all to be honest n then when brought to his attention that he needs to get waiting n hospitality staff that want to work n be friendly n considerate of guest still eating while there turning tables n clashing about... His response was then,, "it sounds as if you don't want to eat here anyway"... What an ignorant man n how dare you think its OK to take advantage of families with under 5's....

Had a bad experience at this restaurant this evening we were a group of 18 we had preordered our food and two of the starters were wrong and one starter had a hair in it one of the mains was missed off another was swimming in grease, service was appalling no check backs and we were left waiting for ages while the waiters were standing chatting, my son asked for mayo and never got any. We had to constantly ask for cutlery as they didn't bring us any for each course. We complained about being cold due to the aircon nothing was done and some of the group went home early as they were freezing. Would not recommend this restaurant

From the moment we walked into the bar, we felt welcome. Incredibly clean tables, cutlery and servery. The wait staff were friendly and attentive. Choice of drinks is excellent. The Carvery is the best we have ever had. Three meat joints to choose from, all tender and beautifully carved. More vegetables and side dishes than I have ever seen before and all very tasty. Not enough cranberry or horseradish sauces when we were there and our request for some was ignored but, hey ho, only a very minor blip in an otherwise perfect experience.I can recommend the coffee roulade. Can't wait to be in Norfolk again, just to eat there!

We were heading to North Norfolk for a mini-break and looking for somewhere along the A11 to stop for dinner when we found this place quite unexpectedly. It looked fairly busy but they had space and because it was a carvery we didn't have to wait long at all before we were eating - the convenience of fast food combined with hearty pub grub.

Visited the restaurant for lunch. I asked for the Pan Fried Salmon with vegetables and creme fresh, when it arrived the salmon was placed on top of the vegetables which was fine but the whole dish was swimming in butter and totally inedible. I asked for another and the waitress took it away, she quickly returned to say the dish came with the butter. What a shame the chef could not accept that he/she had got it wrong. The waitress was apologetic and I asked for an alternative dish which was fine.

Net with friends for a catch up with the intention of choosing off the menu but the carvery looked great so three of us plumped for that and one had the halumi burger. All super, the carvery had plenty of choice of veg. We all had different puds and mine was an excellent sticky toffee pudding and custard. The menu states ice cream so I asked for custard and it finished my pud off a treat. The chocolate brownie and creme brulee were fab too. Staff were very pleasant. It was really busy but had a lovely atmosphere with couples, families, friends ... A lovely mix

Four of us dropped in for lunch last week and all chose a carvery. Very disappointing. Three choices of meat and then- after my choice had been plated - I realised there were two types of casserole. Beef was tough & with cauliflower cheese and leeks in sauce just too much liquid on too small plates. Roast potatoes & parsnips were burnt and the carrots and peas poor quality. Not the cheapest carvery at c£10 and there is better value in local pubs. Falls into the classic trap of thinking more is better. Would be advised to ditch the casseroles and concentrate on doing fewer dishes well. Staff were friendly and restaurant clean and tidy.

Booked an evening meal for my wife's birthday. The starter was good. The main meals were indifferent at best (fish and steak both overcooked) but particularly disappointing was the 'Dessert Surprise'. The waiter asked if we'd like desserts and we said yes. He gave us a couple of minutes to choose and then came back to say that we couldn't have any as the kitchen had closed! What sort of restaurant dumps customers mid-meal? And if the kitchen really was closing, why were diners not politely warned that they needed to make their dessert orders before it did?

The bar has two types of staff them that are happy to eat finger food from a shared platter on the bar with no effort to hide or wash their hands. Then there is the other staff member whom advised me I couldn’t take home my half cooked chips as they had no take away licence! When asked why I wanted to take the half cooked chips home I explained the potato was not cooked enough and the lady asked if she should tell “chef” I said Yes.

There was a really large selection of food on offer to go with your meat, everything from cauliflower cheese to pasta and chicken dishes, numerous vegetables, you would certainly not go hungry and all the food was of good quality. Service was speedy and friendly, the only disappointment was the syrup sponge pudding, not much syrup was involved but in all a good meal and well worth £12, £10 if you just have the carvery.

Visited with our son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter, who have been a few times before. Friendly staff. We all opted for the carvery, in which there was a choice of beef, turkey and gammon, accompanied by a wide variety of vegetables. It was a bit difficult to recognise all the vegetables, as some were diced and in sauces, and there were a couple of dishes which we weren't sure if they were meat or vegetables. It might have been helpful if the dishes could have been labelled, and the plates could have been slightly warmer. However the food was tasty and plentiful.

Arrived at 1030 to find no breakfast menu about so had to ask staff only to be told breakfast ends at 1100No problems though asked if we could order for 6 of us to be served at 1100 as we were waiting for a couple to arriveSimple request that staff failed to understand the various orders arrived at different times plus we were told that if we wanted toast to make it ourselves Staff were unhelpful even though the place was very quiet , they seemed more interested in looking at the till than the customersFood was average, serving beans in a ramekin is a full English to farOverall nothing special and overpriced for what we hadOn a positive the loo was very clean

We dropped in after coming back from holiday and we were glad we did. A lovely two course meal with a good selection of ales.The staff (mostly young lads) were so polite, helpful and a made us feel welcome. Customer care at its very best.

The food was excellent, tasty and well made. Staff were polite and cordial, not expensive for the quality of food.

I treated a friend to lunch for her birthday but was very disappointed in the meal and service on the day.We waited forty minutes from ordering and paying and had to ask where the food was.My "smothered chicken was smothered in a thick BBQ sauce, yuk! The chicken was overcooked and small, the salad was nearly all lettuce and the chips were a meagre portion and again overdone. My friends lasagne was dry and a small portion. The meals were also expensive for what we got. I have had much nicer meals there before.

Went with friends Sun 10/9 and had an excellent meal. Our friends had not been before and really enjoyed it. You need to book on a Sunday as it is extremely busy.

Tables were not too close but large groups made it hard ot hear, very limited wine choice, swordfish was chewy but ice creams were lovely. Service was appaling too busy chatting to each other to pay attention to the diners so we had to go to them for the bill. As locals we won't be returning.

We stopped here for a break as we often pass when using the A11.The food was a choice from the bar menu or a carvery. Being Sunday the carvery was busy so we decided to order from the menu.The food we ordered came in good time. We both ordered simple food and it came out well cooked. The chicken we ordered came out in a wooden board which was changed to a plate without fuss.The staff were pleasant and we weren't constantly approached to see how we were getting on with our food.The overall standard of the establishment was very good with well maintained restrooms.There is an adjoining hotel which, if going by the restaurants standards, may well be worth a try.We would certainly be happy to stop here again and may even make it our destination rest stop.

Food was very nice as it always is here but the service always seems to be very slow having to wait a long time to be seen and for plates to be cleared, food is good but the service needs clearing up a bit.

First time i had eaten here booked a table few days previous for myself and partner for a sunday carvery at 12.30.I was told that 12.30 was fine BUT we had to be finished and free up the table for 2pm which i thought was rude making a customer feel that you have to rush your lunch to meet their deadline, anyway on the day we arrived early and was seated at our table (good job we were early as the que was massive for the carvery very busy and slow moving). We didnt even get chance to order a drink without yet again being reminded they needed the table back for 1.50pm 10 mins earlier than i was originally told so again clock watching we opted for the carvery and one drink as it felt we were clock watching ok food won't rush to go back there though due to the feeling of being rushed at your table.

During a recent visit I really enjoyed my meal... had the chicken which was lovely however I felt the service was a little lacking. Nobody came to check if our food was okay, I had to go to the bar to ask for some sauces etc etc, just a few little things that could have been improved on! If the staff had been much more attentive then I would give 4-5 stars.

Very good carvery and bistro, booking a table is recommended as it does get very busy.If the restaurant is full you can still take your meal in the bar.

I went with family for a carvery......whilst the selection of veg seemed good it was lacking in flavour, bit like school dinners!! The members who had beef found it very tough and our Gran couldn't chew it at all. Staff ok but food not... could be so much better.

Very nice environment but the carvery is not the cheapest and very average. The meat was all first class but the rest seemed to have been stood and on show for too long and at best was luke warm.

Meal was great. Service excellent. My friend and I carried on chatting for a while after the rest of the diners had left but the staff didn't hurry us out and were friendly and polite. Nice atmosphere. I've been here several times and never had a poor experience.
