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

Our accommodation was elsewhere and food not good so went here. This review is purely on food and bar services, we came here for meals, breakfast and evening meal. There were some builder in the indoor spaces doing some work but they were not disturbing us. Breakfast lady a little unsure of what her job is, i wanted to swap egg and bacon off 1 breakfast for extra slice of toast and a Rosti, NOPE NO SWAPS she was happy to leave them off my plate but then wanted to charge extras for toast and rosti, so I said forget it, just do 3 normal breakfast but put egg and bacon on a separate plate off one of breakfasts. Then next morning builders were again present around the indoor area and had to turn electric off briefly, before we arrived, then as we walked through door, same lady from yesterday morning was flapping and saying tills have gone down, she can't turn them on as she'll get into trouble, she kept repeating this to the builder blokes, who were telling her to just turn the switch back on and they would boot up, needless to say one of builders flicked the switch and tills rebooted up. Then she was waffling on about not my computer, I'm not allowed to switch them on. Honestly she was hard work. In the evenings Alan and Sarah were very attentive and a delight when we came for our evening meal for 3 nights. Food delicious and definitely worth shouting about. Bar prices reasonable too. Thank you

Great friendly service. Excellent play area for kids. Good value for money and plenty of parking. Would recommend visiting

While visiting family in King’s Lynn we stumbled across this delightful pub by chance, we popped in for a drink and what a lovely place. Staff were friendly as were the locals. Will definitely return. If you like your beer try the Norfolk Nibbler, beautiful. Thank you for a lovely visit.

Drove quite a long way to visit the place on a nice busy Saturday. Arrived to it being closed despite saying open on Google. Disappointed.

Sunday lunch had the beef very tough and sliced in strips. Vegetables under whelming, carrots, peas, plain cauliflower and broccoli just loaded up with roast potatoes to look like a plate full. Desserts weren’t much better panna cotta way too thick! Only saving grace was excellent service won’t be going back in a hurry!

We came today for lunch I had chess ham quiche £8.50 I think and my daughter had the Stilton one £9 we also had a full salad which I didn’t realise was another £1.90 each so all together it was £29 with a portion of chips and 2 drinks the salad was nothing special quite disappointing to be fair the quiche was tasty but very small portion in fact it could have been servered on a teaplate very over priced and disappointing

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.

Good honest pub grub Generous portions Good value for money Staff welcoming and very helpful Will certainly return for more!

Didn't actually get to go in as when we got back to have drink and bite to eat after a rainy wet and windy walk along the beach it was closed way before it was meant to be but I guess that's because no one was there and was a terrible day weather wise so I'll just say it was great lol and go again and do s real review

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal at the Rose and Crown 👍 We went along for a music event and chose to also eat there. Good honest pub. No frills. No airs and graces. Friendly staff Good menu Fair prices We had the chicken and veg pie with mash and the scampi and chips. Proper food! Very tasty. Followed it up by two ice-cream sundaes 👍

Four of us had a lovely meal, 3 different meat roasts (meats cooked to perfection and well presented) and a very deluxe bangers and mash which my partner loved. We had a choice of desserts, they were all fantastic in their own ways, a real treat. The restaurant was busy, service from the young team was very good, thanks for giving my Dad a meal to remember

Had a fantastic 60th birthday celebration Sunday lunch!! 14 of us, lovely service, from booking to finishing. Everyone commented on how beautiful their meal was. Would definitely go again/recommend!! One slight hiccup, one of us ordered lamb but was sent beef twice, chef said it was lamb!! Clearly wasn’t, family member was happy to accept the beef?!?! All the meat lamb, beef, turkey was lovely though All in all, a very enjoyable lunch Thankyou for accommodating us!!

We came for a big birthday and booked months in advance as we had to hit specific requirement including a nearby good walk, dog friendly, vegetarian and kids friendly. We arrived about 10 minutes before our allotted time, coastal traffic was kind! We were immediately seated however it took over 20 minutes to take our drink order and then another 15 to take our lunch order. We asked for our child's meal to come out with the starters. It didn't. It did come prior to the main course but it was after the starters had finished. There was so much humus but lacking in anything to eat this with. The kids meal was bigger than the adult meals. It was far too overwhelming and hardly got touched, even when it had cooled down. Our main courses were lovely and generally very filling. We had stated on our booking that we were celebrating a big birthday. Most restaurants try to make that person feel special and apart from on entry nothing special was done. I was hoping for her pudding to come on a plate stating happy birthday but nothing. Those who had desserts said they were nice. The dog bowls for dog water were also not refilled regularly and were empty on our arrival and exit. The worst bit of our experience was being told that we'd have to finish our drinks at the bar We spent in excess of £200 and the service in the 2.5 hours we were there was slow (at least 20 minutes between orders, over half an hour between starter and main) and they had another table waiting to be seated. We ate promptly but if you cant serve efficiently enough dont book another table on the back of a booking and absolutely dont let the customer know if its your fault. You should be apologising profusely to the next customer that your service was slow. Not rushing your current customer as soon as the dessert has been eaten. I won't be going back based on this experience.

If you want a tepid self serve coffee for £4 this is the place for you. Next time I charge my car I’ll just save this hotel the bother (it did seem like a bother) and hit the Sainsbury’s just before the roundabout coming from Kings Lynn instead.
