The best restaurants in Carlton Waveney East of England

My wife and I took my mum out for Sunday lunch and had a very enjoyable meal. We booked a table via Messenger a few days ahead and they confirmed pretty quickly. We all enjoyed a lamb roast...Mum had the child's option as it is still a good plateful but more suited for her smaller appetite. There was a little wait for the food to arrive (around 45 minutes) and was a good plateful, the only minor niggle was that it wasn't piping hot, more lukewarm, so perhaps it had been standing for a while awaiting service. The deserts were yummy - we all had the cheesecake, which is home-made by the manager...the cheesecake was Gold Bar, and it was amazing...I thought the portion might be too large for mum but she ate the lot and said it was one of the best cheesecakes she had eaten. Overall the meal was very good and the dessert was superb, the only reason for just four stars was the heat of the roast dinner and the slow service today. It was busy in the pub with lots of people in there for the football, but not too many tables were eating so I think the service could have been more attentive. I will keep coming back for the cheesecake though...did I mention it was really good?

Really enjoyed our 2 nights stay. Staff were all very friendly. Room was very comfortable and warm. It's a very enchanting hotel, with a beautiful 15th century (I think) barn restaurant . The area is a lovely natural area to visit.

Use this chinese alot and had nice food but tonight the food was disgusting. Bland and the beef was like rubber if in fact it was even beef. It went straight in bin. I will not use this chinese again as it was that bad.

Attended with a group of ladies from our local WI for afternoon tea. Venue very attractive but no atmosphere as only us there. 16 in our party but just 5 tiered stands with enough for 3 on each brought out. We found it difficult to explain to waitress that need another portion but she seemed to think we had plenty and probably some left over! She then brought us a further plate of sandwiches and another scone. The sandwich fillings were disappointing too, no choice and appeared to have the 4 cheapest fillings, I.e no beef or smoked salmon. No choice to have fruit teas just tea or coffee. Scones were dry and cake choices poor as well. Would not return for afternoon tea, probably poorest I have ever had.

Had an evening with friends celebrating, the staff we amazing, nothing was too much trouble, they were attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. The food was amazing, a taste sensation, the lemon tart was delightful, my only critique would be portion size, especially for the larger eaters, maybe sides could be added to the menu, I’m sure if we had asked they would have accommodated us but the meals can and we just tucked in, we will definitely be going back.
