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

We were so impressed with Cobbles Tea Room. The finger sandwiches we had were full to the brim, delicious and very filling. We also enjoyed a gorgeous cheese scone! All washed down with copious amounts of tea and for a really reasonable price in a gorgeous setting. The staff were so friendly and attentive. We would highly recommend!

Grants is always excellent service and top quality food as pur usual

Had beef stew with roast potatoes and carrots plus a coffee. Potatoes hard, beef chewy, had to spit some out, gravy gloopy,

amazing food at good prices, order also came with a free little crumble which was nice!! sorry our dog scared the delivery driver 💀

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.

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

We held our wedding meal party here and it was amazing, the food was fantastic and the staff couldn't have been more accomodating and helpful.

NO FOOD Anymore, real shame as dog friendly pub & nice drinks. Had to go elsewhere for lunch.

Another fantastic meal at this lovely hotel and restaurant. The food was exceptional, the staff are brilliant, friendly and really looked after us. This is the fifth time here and even though we are thirty minutes away it is well worth the drive. We cannot recommend d it enough. The hotel is really done to a high standard and the friendly staff make it even more special. Thank you once again, see you soon!!

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 here for lunch with my husband and 2 grandchildren. I’ve reviewed this place in the past and found it to be a bit hit and Miss but this time was outstanding! This was thanks to Demi who ensured we had ample safe space for our two buggies and also tolerated our long winded order of trying to find things both our fussy eater would enjoy from the menu. She really made us feel valued and we will return for that reason

Great food and atmosphere very relaxing

Very Disappointed. Stopped for 1 night. We turned up about 7.30 and were greeted by a not very friendly young person. it felt as we were inconvenience. We were told kitchen will close at 8pm. So we had to find somewhere else to eat. Next morning after waiting for nearly 45 min the breakfast was terrible greasy and cold.
