The best restaurants in King's Lynn and West Norfolk East of England

I live in S. Wales but travel to the Kings Lynn area to stay with family once or twice a year. I like this pub very much because of it's lovely location, smart interior and a good choice of ale's. However I notice in some reviews people complain about the surliness of the landlord and landlady, well funny thing but I found this to be the case as well, a right pair of misery guts they are, but I do not care about this in the slightest degree as long as they do not have a go at me directly. So we will continue to leave our women in Downham to shop and call in for a few pint's. Oh I'm 74 now so I can get a bit crotchety myself... x

I have just checked to see where the delivery driver is and it says that my food has been delivered but that's wrong. We have had nothing delivered from McDonald's!!

After reading the reviews and seeing the pictures Not for me

My first time here and it did not disappoint. Parking easily accessible, extensive menu, good quality food, all made even better by the warm friendly staff. The only thing I didn’t prefer was being given a time limit on our dining table. I do understand the need for restaurants to take multiple sittings as this ensures revenue and continued success. I just do not personally prefer it.

Lunch was horrendously expensive £14.00 for a Shepherds pie which turned out to be not only bland and tasteless but also cold. On complaining to a member of staff I was told that I was being unreasonable! A frozen shepherds pie from the freezer section in adjoining Tesco would have been warmer. Totally unrealistic and rip off. I have been very happy with service and prices in the past but not today! Could not recommend, very poor.

Had a beautiful Sunday lunch, food was amazing! Warm welcome and Chloe in the bar restaurant was lovely, nothing was too much trouble! The Bar guy I think is name was Luke but he was brilliant too. Dog friendly! Lovely atmosphere. We eat out a lot but would definitely recommend, you will not be disappointed

ordered delivery. Best pizza and burger I had in King's Lynn so far. Burger bun is soft toasted brioche, smoky and lovely sauce. Patty is top notch. Not going back to fast food chains for a foreseeable future.

Only gave three out of five as the server was lovely, food absolutely shocking, half inch thick overdone end piece of fried bread impossible to cut let alone eat, burnt egg raw mushroom cold beans. Did ask for refund or exchange a was short on time and needed to get elsewhere to eat. Shame as the Morrisons in fakenham is lovely.

Decided to try the new burger, it was perfect. The sourdough bun was wonderful, burger cooked to perfection and the salad bits were fresh and the sauce was tangy and delicious. Side of coleslaw which was also a really yum addition to the burger. All the girls who served me were friendly and greeted me with a smile. Can’t wait to have it again :)

I was pleasantly surprised that my cod and chips was very tasty and good value! For context, I was a bit concerned, having read other reviews. My wife and I were on a weekend break and we wanted fish and chips for tea. We found the nearest highly recommended shop was closed, so went to the Tropic instead. The two people in the shop were very friendly. I'd certainly go back there for fish and chips. Can't comment on other food options, having not tried them there.

Poor quality. Very small portions and no children's menu. We had fish and chips which we overcooked, chips were like bones and fish thick batter, again overcooked. Ate at 6.00pm so no excuse for not having freshly cooked food available. We put the lot in the bin!

Los baños estaban sucios, tan mal que tuve que usar el baño para discapacitados que no tenía cerradura. Muchas mesas se quedaron con la vajilla sucia puesta mientras el personal charlaba detrás del mostrador. Horrible lugar para parar.

If you are of an age when you had Chinese takeaway in the 80s (I did with my parents) then this place will take you back. The poor comments are understandable if a bit harsh based on our experience. The portions are on the small side. The meat content is mean. The sauces are runny. The taste isn't bad though. It's ok, but just ok and no more. Why don't the owners read the feedback and adapt? It's all there for them.

Went there for the first time for Sunday lunch what a treat absolutely loved it had a good selection of meat and when carved for my plate plenty of it also a good selection of veg . Can't wait for the next visit .

WHEN THE STAFF HAVE TIME TO CHAT THEY ARE HAPPY TO DO SO , The food is good , good helpings , not enough staff on duty to keep tables clear , it would help if people took their used crockery on it's tray back to the cash point when they have finished their meals , ,some do but most don't , if you are lucky enough you might have the brother and sister serve you up a meal , other staff in the café are mostly related to each other, Mother is in charge , her daughters also work there , they are locals , very friendly atmosphere . We go once a fortnight usually , some of the staff will remember their regulars .
