The best restaurants serving British food in St Margarets with St Nicholas King's Lynn and West Norfolk East of England

The best cafe in King's Lynn by far. You get proper English tea and the coffee is good. All cakes are freshly baked on site, and you get genuine, traditional English service. There is free parking for an hour and it's near the river in the interesting part of Lynn. Support this local family business. There are so few of them left. I recommend it as I have been going here for years and am always impressed with it.

We love Grants.Lovely hot food,great menu.Always plenty of veg to help yourself to.The staff are very friendly & will cater your needs if you ask.They have catered for my family of 27 of us upstairs,& we all had hot food & no-one complained,all enjoyed their food.Our family know we love it so much,for presents,we quite often get vouchers to eat at Grants.

Really customer focused great value very affordable on a budget great choice to cater for everyone

As regular customers for lunch on Saturdays my partner and I have noticed that the service has got worse. If the owner isn’t there, the young staff who despite doing their best, leave customers for ages before taking orders and don’t notice when customers need them. Today we received our beers but no glasses, then we waited 50 mins for 2 basic mains and a side dish, they came followed by our cutlery. The food is good and the staff are lovely but it’s clear there weren’t enough doing front of house and probably the kitchen, as we weren’t alone waiting ages today. We want to support it as an independent restaurant but the really slow service is putting us off.

I have been here several times before for coffee, lunch , tea and cake Yes it’s a lovely atmosphere and food and drink lovely BUT Today I went with friends It was very busy and two waiting staff walked past us several times whilst waiting for a table Neither of them greeted us or said they would be with us soon Any way we got a table and ordered drinks service quick and drinks fine I used the toilet and it was not very clean and the sink had obviously not been cleaned for a while needed a good scrub Very disappointing for an establishment selling food and drink

Pleasant service from friendly staff. Variety of sandwiches really good, freshly prepared with really good baguettes. Very reasonable prices. Filled the gap at lunchtime. Also choice of white and wholemeal - recommend the wholemeal.

Christmas dinner out with the family for the first time ever… heard so much negativity towards a restaurant Christmas dinner but the lattice house made it the perfect day with sheer quality food and astonishing value for money! If your family is relatively small and would rather not cook on Christmas Day, 2025, and drink with zero pressure on time slots, then book up! I expect us to place a repeat booking… thank you for an all round positive experience!

Milkshakes are so tasty!!! Best I’ve ever had - bit on the pricey side but soooooo worth it!!

Wetherspoon garden going down to the river Ouse in King's Lynn.

Both of us are now out 9f pocket. No answer on the phone and email not recognised

Very pleasant visit, Fridays disco ok until dj changed the music to trance. Tables needed a wipe once glasses were collected. Staff friendly and smiling. Cheers Prices Very good,

Popped in for lunch whilst passing. We received a friendly greeting from the bar staff and found a nice table just off from the bar area. We had the fish and chips which was lovely and a fair size, and mussels which were again lovely and a decent portion. Drinks wise we had a couple of lime and sodas , plus coffees after. Prices were very reasonable. The staff were attentive ,but not over the top. All in all,a lovely lunch in a nice setting. Worth a visit .

Unfortunately, our visit to the Duke's Head for an afternoon tea experience wasn't quite what we were hoping for. On arrival, we were greeted by a sign asking to "wait to be seated" and wait we did for 15 mins before a member of the restaurant staff appeared. This would have been understandable had there been a busy service in progress, but there were fewer than 4 other tables occupied. On eventually being shown to a table, by someone anything other than what you could describe as a "Maître D", we were given menus, signalling that it was clear that it was not obvious that we had booked for afternoon tea, which was equally demonstrated by the waiter not being able to find our reservation initially. Our afternoon tea was eventually served to us and for the most part the food was satisfactory, albeit the shortbread sweets were soggy, rather than crisp and the tea had tipped over to the point of stewed. At no point during our service, did anyone check if all was in order or if we required anything, as for practically the duration of our visit there were barely any staff present. Other tables were also left unattended and had to actively seek out staff in order to place their order. At a mid-point during our service, a moderate sized party of guests arrived for their booking and without any tables being previously arranged to accommodate the number of guests, their tables and chairs were very clumsily dragged and thrown around noisily, without any elegance, ruining what little atmosphere that existed in the restaurant. At the close of our service and on the request to settle our bill, again, I had to be asked our booking name, as our entry could not be found. Following a further 15-20 minutes of waiting for the bill to materialise and expecting to be billed as part of the hotel's promotion of 2 for 1 afternoon tea (as booked in advance), this caused further confusion and another 15 mins passed, before we were ushered down towards the main reception area for investigation. At reception, during the course of the conversation, we were either told that our booking couldn't be found or we was given conflicting information. As there was no reference to the promotion on the booking, I was asked if I could supply the booking reference/email, to which I did. However, as the promotion was not listed on the confirmation, this was completely dismissed and we were told that we were being billed for the full amount. In addition, it was insinuated that it was my error, as I was unable to produce any proof or voucher code (of which there was not one, as it was a direct booking on the hotel's website). I explained that all I received was what the hotel had issued me in confirmation of the booking. At this point, we were told that the promotion was in August and the system shouldn't have allowed us to book our selected date, which I didn't feel was our error. Later in the conversation, we were then told that there hadn't been a 2 for 1 promotion since February. Lastly, we were told that it was likely that there was a 20% discount saving, but we didn't receive this either. The whole conversation was awash with arbitrary decisions and ambiguous stories. Consequently, the staff were completely dismissive and were only interested in us paying the full amount, which is what we were forced to do. During all of the above pitiful exchange, we were witness to a couple who were locked out of their accommodation and were left waiting to gain entry and another dining couple were also complaining that they had not received their meals as promised. A member of the restaurant staff who was actually trying to make amends was asking what I assumed to be the duty manager, if he could just bill them for what they had received and provide them with a good-will gesture soft drink, to which he replied, "no, don't say anything to them, I will speak to them, as they need to pay the full price". Sadly, these examples perfectly epitomised that the hotel was not adequately staffed and there was insufficient organisation or customer service. The facial expression and reaction of the assumed duty manager led me to believe that this was not a rare occurrence of events. We have had a number of positive afternoon tea experiences in other establishments that leave you feeling that you had received an attentive service with well presented and consumed refreshments. However, sadly, this experience left only a bitter taste and is not one that will be repeated again. I can only conclude a shocking service and poor attitude from a hotel that given their longstanding presence in the hospitality industry should know a great deal better, especially as what we ended up paying for was definitely not of equal value to what we received.

Went to Kings Lynn Wimpey today and on first impression very impressed, Very clean and a smile when we walked in the door. Sadly thats where it ended. I have a little bit of positive feedback but also a lot of not positive feedback. Not having a go at Wimpey, Just enlightining what I think should be addressed and rectyfied. A young girl asked what we wanted within 1 minute of sitting down so no real time to look at the menu properly, The Latte was bitter and luke warm and the coke was very watery but many establishments are like that as it is a syrup. We ordered a 1/4lb burger and chips and a Wimpey International grill. Very dissapointed to be fair. The meal was brought out to us with a smile then plonked on the table and we had to ask for cutlery so we could eat, We actually couldn't be bothered to ask for vinegar or sauce as they couldnt be bothered with us, it all seemed too much effort to them so for customwer service I can only give one star. This needs to be addressed for other customers in the future really. The burger was luke warm and over cooked and the chips were very dry and tasted like old oil. The International grill was a disaster. The famous bendy sausage was very over cooked and tasteless, the chips dry and the burger tasteless and bland and again over cooked. The bacon was very over cooked and shattered when you put a fork in it. The only thing that was perfect to be fair was the egg. I did point this out when paying as the girl asked if i enjoyed the meal and offered to cut some of the bill as a sorry but I pay my way and donlt do this to get cheap meals, I just want it cooked right. Not so sure I would rush back to Wimpey at the moment. We will see.

Great food and atmosphere very relaxing
