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

What a wonderful restaurant! We were welcomed as soon as we walked through the door and service was gently attentive throughout. The atmosphere is relaxed and cheerful and the food, exquisite. Well done Socius, you’ve hit the sweet spot at everything!

Fantastic coffee and cake - warm personal service by the lovely lady who runs the stall - great value - perfect experience.

A total of 5 of us booked for Sunday lunch and were accommodated in a private dining room, which itself was very pleasant. However, of the 3 scotch eggs ordered, only 2 were available. The roast chicken was not available at all. That apart, the most frustrating element concerned the pannacotta desserts. Two were ordered and both were deemed to be of strange taste and texture, and were left largely uneaten. The waitress was told this and she went to confer. When she came back she said that she had tasted them and thought they were fine, and indeed the chef had reportedly told her that that was how they were. 'As an gesture of goodwill' she deducted the cost of 1 from the bill. The bill came to over £250, additionally 2 of our party were staying at the hotel and furthermore an absent family member had bought a bottle of champagne separately for us to enjoy with the meal. All that, and they could only reduce the bill by £9.50! To my mind a more appropriate thing to do would be to have offered an alternative dessert or deducted the cost of both, rather than the waitress just telling us her opinion.

I visited this cafe today for the first time.The staff were very friendly.There was plenty of choices for a lunchtime menu and also reasonably priced for Burnham Market.The drinks we ordered came out fairly swiftly and the food not long behind.Nicely presented and tasty.Its obviously very popular and we will definitely return again soon

Visited on pizza night and the quality of food was excellent. Everyone that served us was polite and friendly. The experience was lovely and we'd definitely visit again. Visited again...the food was still great but some of the service was VERY weird. Wasn't really looking for a singing waiter and made the whole experience feel a little uncomfortable. Same experience for every table and I'm sure some people love it but maybe read the room and tailor your behaviour to suit. The rest of the waiting staff were fine though.

Excellent service and good quality pub food. Room was clean and tidy. Only comment was as a plumber the shower was too small

Really disappointed with The Mermaid. Appears to be going downhill, so unreliable with opening hours. Turned up at 6.20 Saturday evening to find it closed. Not what you expect from your local fish and chip bar. Think it’s time to take my money elsewhere

The room was clean and fresh. It was a very hot and humid night so we did have a little road noise as we had the windows open but it didn’t bother us. We also made use of the fan provided in the room-lovely comfortable bed and pillows. Breakfast was really good, the cooked options were delicious and the service was excellent. We had dinner too which was also very good, a slight hiccup with a missing food item but very quickly rectified. Again, staff were attentive and friendly. We look forward to the next time we visit the village and stay again.

Had a great lunch with family . The food was just really tasty home cooking without trying to be gastropub fancy . The pie of the day was excellent as usual .

The pub always has a welcoming buzz. Last night we ate in the restaurant and had an excellent chicken pie and catch of the day. Wonderful, friendly service too.

Popped in the tearoom with my partner, son and dog and had a very nice experience. Sat in the courtyard as we had the dog which was nice on a warm day. The food was good and very reasonably priced. I had the ham and cheese ploughman’s and my partner had the tuna salad, both were really nice. We look forward to returning.

Welcoming, friendly pub. We stayed at 6 Little Wells which was also beautiful. Pub just a few min walk from cottage serving food 6-8pm - menu varies day to day. It is what it is - good honest homecooked food. If you want posh drive a bit down the road to South Creake but pay alot more.

Stopped here to see the abbey ruins. Delighted to be able to have a delicious lunch in the cafe. Plenty of parking, with the abbey ruins just a very short walk away. Extremely well presented and maintained ruins in a very peaceful setting.

Under new management, very modern inside. Owner was really nice and keen to build the business. Really nice for a drink. We could not comment on food as we did not stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at The Hoste the other night . The steak and ale pie was delicious. The service was great and the staff were so friendly and helpful . Would definitely recommend.
