The best restaurants serving British food in Coltishall Broadland East of England

We had the most perfect day at the Norfolk Mead for our wedding. Frankie and Danni were so helpful throughout the planning process and on the day they were both amazing and made sure everything ran smoothly. They were always prompt with their replies and nothing was too much trouble for them. All the staff were lovely and friendly. The food was delicious and the venue itself was beautiful. Being able to have some time in the spa the morning after our wedding was a perfect way to unwind and reflect on the day. We could not have asked for a better venue!

We had booked in for a special family breakfast. When we arrived there was no knowledge of our booking and we were clearly an inconvenience to the staff. The quality of the breakfast was good but too often staff did not replenish the food when it had run out and dirty plates etc.. were not taken away.

Absolutely love this place, we always get looked after so well, and the food is amazing as well as the beers. Great couple of guest rooms and great prices all round. Thanks again, and it won't be too long before we return 😊

A nice location with good views. The cafe was clean and welcoming and most of the staff were pleasant, apart from the young chap who was quite miserable. The food was nice, but one small piece of butter for toast was disappointing and I could not catch a member of staff to ask for more. The cake selection was disappointing so we had to move on elsewhere. We had travelled 90 minutes from home on a recommendation, so I was expecting more.

My wife and I visited for Sunday lunch as part of a family group of six. The restaurant was really busy, but nevertheless we were shown to our table by a lovely woman, who arranged for our drink orders to be taken. We chose our main dishes, no one wanting to partake in a starter and sat and chatted. In what seemed to be the blink of an eye, our food was delivered! Three of us had roasts, one had tuna, one had halibut and the sixth had Cromer crab. Well, I have eaten in many a fine restaurant, but to say the food was excellent is just not enough! Our roasts were not only superb tasting, but the portion sizes were huge! All three of the family who had fish dishes sang their praises also. I don’t often say this, but I couldn’t finish my meal, likewise several others of the group. Doggie bags all around?! Anyway, desserts were off the radar and we paid up and left, completely stuffed. The staff were really attentive throughout our meal, ensuring we had everything we wanted. They chased up drink refills without us needing to call them over. The overall bill was around £170, but this included all of our drinks, which we felt was reasonable…not cheap, but reflected the quality and quantity of our meals. The only downside that we could find was that we could only book the table for a maximum of two hours. We would have liked longer to sit and chat, but based on the number of clients coming and going, I suppose this is not unreasonable.

Great selection of local ales and beers, Sarah and the team are amazing.

Just had a family of 8 Easter Sunday lunch and we were all blown away by just how lovely every meal was. The setting by the river is gorgeous too. There was so much lamb and beef on our plates we had to take some home... food was all freshly cooked and the cauliflower cheese was sublime. Deserts we're enormous and the sticky toffee pudding with ginger snap was a lovely end to a fantastic meal. Service was wonderful too, so thank you all so much. We will definitely visit again.

Serves lovely food, reasonably priced too. They don’t take reservations during the holiday season as they cater for holidaymakers on the boats outside. Reservations are only possible out of season.

The fish was bony and the batter soggy would not recommend. And had to wait for it to be cooked .
