The best restaurants serving British food in England

Beautiful home cooked Sunday lunch faultless Excellent friendly service Definitely recommend

December ’24. We booked 3 months in advance for 21 guests to attend a room in the restaurant for my wife’s 60th Birthday. Unknown to us, prior to our arrival, we had been moved by the management to a shed in the grounds. This “Party Barn” was totally unsuitable for our needs in December and had previously been declined when we booked. Our frustration was immediately expressed to Jacqui the owner of The Trouble House. All the guests needed to keep their coats on throughout the afternoon due to the freezing conditions in the shiplap constructed building that let the cold wind in everywhere. The coldness was further amplified when the staff had to open the door to serve us. The floor of the shed was constructed of loose gravel which was unsuitable and damaged our guests dress shoes which is not acceptable. Added to this we had three elderly relatives in attendance that not only struggled with the cold, but they were expected to sit on bench seats as nothing else was available in the barn. They really struggled with this. Although Jacqui knew we were far from happy from our experience, and we had made it clear it was not what we had booked, she still charged us the full price including a 10% service charge on top. We expressed our dismay as soon as we were taken into the barn rather than the room we agreed on, and again after lunch. Surprisingly whilst settling our bill were not offered any recompense, even the 10% service charge remained. Since the day of the meal, we have tried to come to a reasonable resolution with Jacqui over our poor experience at The Trouble House prior to writing this review, but disappointingly after several emails she has offered us nothing and has refused to respond. A day that should have been such a special one for my wife has turned out to be a memorable one for all the wrong reasons. If you are booking an event at The Trouble House ensure you have written proof of your agreement. Also do not trust the previous review dated 25th December ’24, it no where near reflects our experience and is possibly a management spin.

Visited this place for lunch on a recent visit to Gorleston, after a family member said she remembered visiting this cafe years ago for afternoon tea and it being really good. I had a sausage pasty, a coffee and a bit of cake. The pasty was lovely, tasted home made, with lots of flavour. The coffee wasn't amazing (but I'm fussy when it comes to coffee) and the cake was a little dry. My family member though said that their cake was lovely. This is a nice spot for lunch, on a quiet road with lots of character. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. I would visit again.

Great atmosphere, nice beer and food.

Esta fue nuestra primera vez aquí y realmente es una joya escondida! Teníamos el menú degustación no vegetariano de 7 platos con los maridajes de vinos a £ 90 por persona (£ 45 por persona sin el vino). También hay un menú degustación totalmente vegetariano o se puede mezclar y combinar entre los dos menús. La comida estaba deliciosa - en particular el budín de venado (que no estaba seguro de que me gustaría) y la tarta Bakewell - y los maridajes de vino muy buenos. Los estudiantes hicieron un gran trabajo - bien hecho! 👏👏👏Sin duda volveré y lo he recomendado a otros. No aceptan propinas, pero hay una caja de donaciones en la salida del restaurante, así que traiga algo de efectivo si desea dejar una propina!

For some reason we waited for years to experience this wonderful place and so wish we’d done it sooner. It was a Xmas present from our daughter as I’d always thought it rather expensive without even checking it out properly. For the fine and extremely delicious dining experience we had, I personally think it was very reasonable (maybe not somewhere to go every week, but definitely to be considered for that special night out). The food, service and venue all exceeded our expectations and we will definitely go again in the near future. It will be fascinating to look out their windows across the Hoe in different seasons.

worst fish and chips ever please avoid the place it's you want fish and chips while in sheerness avoid this places without a doubt the food was disgusting you could tell it was a cheaper version of cod there was using look more like a piece of fish from a box you get from a supermarket I will never go in there again and waste my money for cheap nasty food

My partner and I ordered fish and chips. The food was hot and delicious. The service was friendly quick and efficient.
