The best restaurants in North Norfolk East of England

I am a visiting the area and I have to say it’s one of the best Chinese takeout I’ve had in a very long time. I would say it’s better than the one at home.

Really wonderful friendly service, reasonable prices and delicious food. Best béarnaise sauce I’ve had with a steak. Beautifully decorated for Christmas! Very gluten free friendly with GF beers on tap and plenty of clearly marked options on menu.

Just popped in for a pint. Nice beer.

Great staff, they are very friendly the food is great! Lovely location, Beautiful views over the Norfolk broads!

Clean and tidy, staff very helpful and friendly, with a wide range of drinks, both beers and wines as well as spirits. Food portions were good, and it was hot and freshly cooked. Will be going again.

The most tastiest Cod I've had in a long time,great portion too. Thank you to the lovely staff 🤩

No care from the staff,rubbish coffee

Delivery man knocked door, wife fell on pavement, big bang, blood everywhere. 3 Yr old screaming.imagine! Thanked deliver person. Requested l pop to shop to pay next day. No! Have to have money!

Delivery person called me a liar! Saying crazy woman was shouting! ( 3yr old ) was screaming because of what she had witnessed. Shame used them lots before! NEVER AGAIN!!!!. Told you l would never use you again! Never have or will!

Myself, my husband and our 2 children had dinner Friday night (booked a table ahead of time). Great choice of food with specials. Lovely setting with all the Christmas decorations. Generous portions and staff were friendly.

Second visit, very good staff, room was clean and comfortable and only £32 , buffet breakfast £8 ( thru Expedia), right on the sea front, yards from the promenade. Car park is at the rear of the building, £6 per 24 hours.

Lovely atmosphere and very welcoming !Large plates and large portions served promptly. Live music every Friday, which added to the experience. Would definitely recommend for a night out with dinner.

Cosy traditional pub with plenty of choice of drinks. Handy location. Friendly staff. Food looked great too although we didn't eat there

Fantastic all round, first time here. Perfect. Food for 6 people at an excellent price.

Super food and friendly service. The portions were huge (and delicious, I loved my chicken curry) and the staff couldn’t do enough for us. We attended for a family member’s 70th birthday and they allowed us to bring our own cake and decorate before hand. We recieved a discount because of staying in the local air bnb, which was another bonus! We would definitely visit again, but unfortunately we do not live locally, however, I would recommend The Criss Keys to anyone else staying locally.

We stayed for two nights to visit nearby Thursford, where we were booked to see the Christmas show. Initial impressions weren’t great. The room was monastic, with only the bed, a rickety cupboard and two hard chairs doubling as bedside tables. The curtains looked like they had been made of monks’ habits. This might be a deliberate design vibe chosen by the hotel, given its proximity to the shrine. The bathroom was very small and a bit tired. Having said that, everything was clean and functional and the bed was comfortable. We had a very nice meal in the restaurant. The staff and locals were friendly. Breakfast was good, included in the price. We went out for the day and left our key at reception. We returned after the show at about 22.10 to find the place closed and no one on duty. We were locked out. Our key on the hook behind reception or our belongings in the room hadn’t suggested that someone ought to wait for all registered guests to be accounted for. We called an out of hours number and the manager did return to let us in. She said they ‘didn’t take any notice of the keys’ which seems like a cavalier attitude to residents’ comfort or wellbeing. I was also surprised and a bit shocked that there was no staff on site overnight in case of emergency. However, the manageress was friendly and didn’t seem to mind having been called out. Maybe it happens quite a lot. When we returned to our room we found it had not been made up for us. The tea tray had not been replenished so we couldn’t make ourselves a hot drink. We paid £225 for our two night stay, so it wasn’t a ‘budget’ price, but I feel we got budget treatment.
