The best restaurants in North Norfolk East of England

When we visited with some friends today, I was very impressed about how accommodating the staff were as I have a dairy intolerance. The only reason why I haven’t given it a 5 is because unfortunately there wasn’t anything on the dessert menu I was able to have although having said that they were able to provide sorbet as an option for me

Visit the garden centre for lunch however as soon as we got to the entrance of restaurant we could smell dogs put us right off our food, I have nothing against dogs but they shouldn’t be allowed where food is, we walked out such a shame

We were very pleasantly surprised how good Fakenham Tandoori is. It’s entirely unprepossessing outside and certainly not ostentatious inside but clean and capacious. But empty - which was not a good sign. But the freshness of the ingredients, the variety available on the menu and the tastes were excellent. We had a vegetarian biryani, a chicken biryani, a kohai (I think cauliflower or spinach), and some starters. The poppadoms were fine, the chapatis excellent - only the chutneys were a bit poor, though the lime pickle was hearty!

They muck up orders, the pizza is so thin it falls apart when picked up, deep pan would be nice, food is okay, but overall quite poor, wouldn’t recommend to be honest.

Had fish n chips at 4.30 Last night, fish was awful, it must have been re fried from lunch time was dry well over cooked and batter was hard not crispy at all, the worst fish I've ever had

Great to have a Chinese takeaway that was light, varied and leave you feeling fresh! I can definitely recommend the satay, sweet, nutty and rich. The schezwshan pork was decent too. Cash only, so get organised.

Quality : Low. Price : High. Pie of the day "Chicken and Leek" turned out to be Steak and Kidney which was indistinguishable as it had been reheated more than once. The mussels were OK ! Offered (one) free coffee as a 'sorry'. Will not be back.

We booked for a family Sunday lunch, when calling to book there were a lot of hums and ha’s making it sound really difficult to take our booking. The staff looked as though it was dress-down Sunday. The food was well presented and tasty but very expensive for what it was.

Over priced! £11.95 for toasted sandwich that came with small side salad, small pot shop bought coleslaw and handful chips. Had bacon and brie filling with so much cranberry it tasted more like jam sandwich. With a coffee each bill came to £33. Most costly lunch I've had for ages. Won't be rushing back.

Went to Pensthorpe cafe today was a bit apprehensive as our visit last year was disgusting we complained and was offered a free coffee which we declined and walked out, our friend who we meet when we holiday in Norfolk told us that it had changed so we went today and what a differents the food was delicious and the staff were so helpful and friendly, l recommend a visit l give it 5 out of 5 stars.

I never write reviews but the food and coffee were so appalling. We ordered 2 bacon baps and 1 sausage and bacon bap, 2 latte's and a black coffee. Food came as sandwiches not baps - bacon baps were £5.50 for dry medium sliced bread and 2 thin slices of bacon. Sausage & bacon bap was £6.50 for 2 tiny bits of bacon and 1 sausage in dry sliced bread. The latte's were more like cups of frothy warm milk, with no coffee. For £26.00, and being in the catering trade. I was speechless at the food offered. If we hadn't been hungry, I would of sent it all back and asked for a refund. Tablecloths sticky, staff unfriendly apart from a young lad who brought us ketchup. When I spoke to the girl behind the counter to say how disappointed we were, there was no apology. All she said was "well I don't cook the baps or set the prices". No ...I am so sorry to hear that, shall I get a manager or thank you for your feedback". Very disappointed, appalled and quite frankly I would be embarrassed at serving up anything like this.

Arrived with my wife and friends for a coffee in the morning. Served by Sharon. Thank you all for kicking my birthday off to a good start. Very good coffee.

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.

Excellent value for money..friendly staff..clean..pet friendly... well worth a visit.... plenty to choose from on a full, varied menu..
