The best restaurants serving British food in Mid Forest Breckland East of England

This was our second visit we had not enjoyed our previous visit due to the service but decided to try again as it is a lovely venue we hoped it was just a bad day so we took friends for dinner there yesterday and the service was awful again ! Staff need training and communication from management ! Staff gave us incorrect information when ordering, were not aware the kitchen had run out of certain dishes which caused disappointment when food came! Wait times were very long and it’s difficult getting drink refills ! Desserts came out wrong and cold ! Such a shame as it could be fab if the management could get staff trained better and more of them !

Popped in for dinner. It’s basic but well done. No bells or whistles or music. Just simple food, good service and simple things done well. A refreshing unpretentious place. Perhaps not for everybody. Felt good to us though.

We've eaten and stayed at the Olde Windmill 4 times and love it, its a proper pub, cosy, welcoming and traditional. This time I booked a Dinner, Bed & Breakfast deal, thinking it would be a better price, but I was a bit disappointed to be honest. There isn't really any saving by doing this, so I'm not sure why they offer it. My experience of D,B&B is the deal should at least give you a 2 course meal, with added supplements for the more expensive options, but this deal allows £20pp, which doesn't cover 2 courses unless you are happy with a burger or a salad, otherwise you will struggle to keep to the £20.00. There's no discount, which is a shame. Other than that, we love this place, the room was lovely and we had a great meal (although the red wine and mushroom sauce was a bit watery and tasteless). We will be back, but I certainly wouldn't go for the D,B&B unless it's worth having.
