The best restaurants in Poppyland North Norfolk East of England

Such lovely staff , loved listening to the cook singing along to music , the place just felt so relaxed and was nice watching the planes coming into land , definitely recommend as a stop on your bike ride

A thoroughly enjoyable Sunday roast in a wonderful village location for myself and my wife. A very warm welcome was given and although they were very busy we were given thoughtful consideration throughout. We will be back!

Been coming here for years but now has new owners. I wish them well but it’s been modernised and has lost its old seaside charm. Fewer seats inside for cooler days, no displays of quick food to eat. For me it’s just lost its appeal. I’m sad.

Was in Norwich for a family wedding and decided to stay for a few extra days sightseeing. Stopped at the Albey Horseshoes for a Sunday roast which was absolutely fabulous. One of the nicest roasts in a very long time. All home cooked by the landlady and plenty of it. Had a selection of 3 different meats & you could choose which one you wanted or all 3 if you're hungry We had a lovely reception and the landlord was really friendly and welcoming & made one of the best jugs of Pimms, thank you We had a superb meal, great hospitality and one of the tastiest roasts around Don't be put off by the exterior and please don't drive on by, you won't be disappointed by the food & fabulous hospitality within. A great find and if we ever go back to Norwich we will definitely be going back

We dropped in on a Friday, with a view to having lunch. We had never been to The White Horse before, but had seen positive reviews. We were warmly welcomed by the friendly staff and ordered our drinks. For those that imbibe, there appears to be a well stocked bar. We had a look at the menu and decided upon the chicken pie with vegetables and the crispy pork belly. We were advised that there would be a 30 minute wait, as all of the food is cooked freshly. There are three eating areas, if you ignore the gardens; the bar, the conservatory and a lovely looking restaurant. We retired to the conservatory to await our meals. Sure enough, 30 minutes later our meals arrived and looked really scrumptious. The pie was obviously freshly cooked…it’s obvious when pastry has been reheated in a microwave! My belly pork looked gorgeous. We tucked in and without a word of a lie, both meals really were delicious. Being a lunchtime and we had a walk back to Cromer awaiting, we didn’t partake in desserts…I doubt we could actually have eaten one anyway! We had a really positive experience, lovely food, good service and we will be back! We definitely recommend The White Horse.

Gone downhill. Had chip buckets a few times over the years but the last one we had at Aylsham lights was just a huge disappointment. £28 for 4 people you would expect quality produce. Only difference between kids cheesy chips and adult one was seemingly a bit of parsley on top, but a price difference of whopping £4. Cheese not melted, just pre-grated flavourless cheese dumped on the top of frozen chips. I had the winter warmer and the sausage tasted undercooked and I had a stomach ache for the rest of the evening. Overpriced, overmarketed, doesn't look anything like the photos on social media. Customer service wasn't great either, grumpy faces, no smiles.

What’s happened we used to visit last year, now cakes terrible poor menu and Very odd ordering system. Staff used to be so friendly, sadly will not revisit

I cannot understand why there are so many negative reviews on here, we were there today, October 13th, and had their chicken curry with pineapple. Well cooked and plentiful, service was excellent, cleanliness of the cafe was also excellent.

Lovely warming bar and restaurant we popped in after a walk along the cliffs from Cromer. Stopped for a bit to eat. Great service, attentive, polite staff and tasty food.

Done such a fantastic job on revamping the garden centre and restaurant. Such a shame the food was terrible! My wife had what was supposed to be Chicken schnitzel which was on the special board. The first one was so tough it was overcooked and couldn’t cut it. This was replaced with a second one and was told by the waitress they are all like that! I had a cheese and onion omelet which had been burnt on one side and was presented inside out to hide the burnt base. A lady who worked there named Heather, came and asked us if we enjoy our meal and thought we were joking when we said it was awful. She apologised and asked us if we would like a piece of cake or a refill of our drinks which we declined.
