The best restaurants in Glaven Valley North Norfolk East of England

Be if a sunny but cold February or a sweltering summer, the hotel is perfect with its modern touches to the olde worlde charms. The restaurant staff are polite, informed and attentive without the overbearing ‘is everything alright?’ intrusion. We have had very good meals, but also the occasional hiccup with the food falling a little short. During our last visit the fish pie lacked the essential ingredient of fish and as the waiter noted on clearing the table, that looks ‘crispy’ around the edge as indeed it was. This wonderful location, and smart restaurant does itself a dis service by serving Cod and chips not on a simple plate but adding a piece of grease proof paper(?) al la fish and chips shop style. My pet hate is a plate of food served in mini pots with the expectation that one assembles the food themselves. This time was no exception, peas, tartar sauce, chips all came in little pots and the fish on the aforementioned grease paper. I simply don’t understand why such a good restaurant would want to compete with the local chippy or indeed invite comparison. Put the food on the plate and left the chef and ingredients do the talking.

Its always good to see pop up cafe type food places. They provide a relatively cheap snack quickly. This one is no exception.

Fine dining menu, fine dining prices, fine dining portions, pub grub quality. We visited for lunch having seen their on line menu confirmed by the same menu at the door. But we were offered just three main course choices. The food was bland and very overpriced. The fish of the day ( at “ market price” ) was a red mullet barely visible with the naked eye. Decent service but we were virtually the only people there . I’m not surprised. Far better options nearby. Best avoid.

Had a fantastic time here last year so came back in half term with my mum and kids … absolutely awful. Rude staff, 25 mins wait for barista coffee/ tea … sat outside as people literally arguing over tables. Staff standing around chatting while only one person did the barista work … as someone who does this as a living I would have thought they would have all helped and got the drinks out quicker ?!

Lovely but disappointing. Just home from an overnight stay and really disappointed .This was a well looked forward to treat. On arrival we were shown to our room which was really nice . A few minutes later a knock at the door to say sorry furor to yell you we have a problem with the gas so no heating and a reduced menu. This would have been nice to know prior to arrival . Small heater in room but coukd not leVe it in all night as was too hot but 10 minutes after turning off room was freezing. Bathroom no heating and really cold to cold to use shower. What would have been nice was an apology and maybe offer of a,mulled wine or hot drink etc. Nothing . Was really played down no real explanation just that's, the way it is . The menu was small however we ordered the burger and chips at £18 what arrived was huge plate mostly empty with a burger and handleful of frozen French fries. I would have expected maybe handcut chips and a little garnish, tomato salad etc nothing. The plate looked ridiculous. The burger was lovely the skinny French fries oily and tasteless . The burger and the toast that i had (instead of brioche bun) was cold . We also had a diet coke each. The bill was over £48. How?? £12 for 2 cokes ?surely not . The room was lovely but either freezing cold or blow air heater hot . So sleep was not restful . Breakfast. Choice looked lovely but again the breakfast room was so cold i mentioned this to the gentleman who served us he just smiled and agreed .again played down or brushed off. The breakfast was cold poached eggs .no one likes cold poached eggs. . Plates were stone cold as well. I understand things happen and there was obviously an issue with heating but cold food and cold rooms is not acceptable in a hotel.no offer of more blankers . No apologies nothing. So sadly as much as I loved the actual hotel their response (or indeed total lack of one) has completely put me off . I paid for a room and food and both were very disappointing.

It was a very damp and showery morning and we weren’t sure if the restaurant was even open! But we tried the door and it was . The lady on the bar asked the kitchen if they were still serving breakfast (it was only 10.10am) and they were. We sat down and there was a very damp smell in the room. Which was a little off putting but We ordered full English and Vegan breakfast, both with coffee. The coffee were served piping Hot which was lovely as usually they go cold before breakfast is served. But breakfast came and coffee was still hot!. Breakfast was also really hot and delicious, good local produce and served with a smile. Deffo come back again! Serves lunches and coffee and cake too so worth drying at different times of the day.

Just perfect after a long morning of walking in the park.. Friendly staff and good food! We liked the atmosphere, drinks and food a lot.

Overcooked, rubbery, minimal beef burger. Service had been added to the bill without asking or even telling me, so I paid it without knowing or being given an opportunity to increase or decrease the amount.

This used to be a very nice traditional pub, with a good menu - what a difference a year makes! Bar moved, decorated in dull blue colour making the place look drab & uninviting. Barely anything on the menu bar fish & chips! Only 4 other diners in the place & like us were driven out due to thumping drum & bass music --- is that necessary at lunchtime?!? Won't be going back anytime soon.
