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

I go here quite a lot and have always found the owners very helpful and polite, I have tried different meals from breakfast to lunch, ice creams etc and have all been amazing, I wouldn’t go anywhere else whilst visiting Hunstanton.

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

Dropped in by chance on the way to Suffolk, so pleased this is a great find, food excellent I had the large fish and chips and it was huge, fresh fish and the beer batter was delicious, partner had the fish pie which was excellent with lots of different fish. Wine was good, husband sent his beer back as it was on the turn but that was dealt with quickly and replaced. Staff are lovely and friendly, plus it’s very dog friendly. Would recommend booking as we got there as it opened and within half an it was packed.

Hadn't booked, turned up for Saturday lunch. Luke warm welcome from girl behind bar. Pub very clean nicely decorated, but lacked any atmosphere. As we were seated near the entrance it wasn't very warm inside. Food decidedly average, no call back or asked if we enjoyed on leaving. Slight maybe pedantic gripes, the constant scrape of chairs and stools on the quarry tiled floor got a bit annoying, ( pads are available!) Dress code for bar staff, appreciate i am not walking into the Ritz, but it probably wouldn't be acceptable to the management if a guy was behind the bar in a vest top, so why is it acceptable for a girl to dress that way, doesn't set a great standard. Slightly snobby maybe, like I say not walking into the Ritz, but standards do matter.

If I could give a 5 for food and a 2 for service I would. Heard excellent things about this pub/restaurant. So for a change we thought as a family we would give it a go. Seated promptly and drinks order taken immediately. We all ordered, we were then told that it would take 35-40 minutes, absolutely no problem, some of the group decided to have a starter due to the wait. Starters duly ordered, one of the party decided to change his main as he was having a starter. This was not possible?? Ok that’s fine. Starters arrived, everyone enjoyed. Plates removed quickly and main courses were served. At that point we didn’t see the waitress again. We had to go to the bar to get some drinks (no hardship) drinks were delivered and quite clearly we had all finished our meals, but they were not taken away. 20 mins later we asked for the dessert menu, still having not seen a member of staff. (Well actually we had the joys of watching the young waitress flirting with her boyfriend, or potential boyfriend rather than taking any notice what was happening in the restaurant) after waiting for so long we decided against the dessert, paid the bill and left.

Very accommodating as there were 13 of us for Sunday lunch. Nothing was too much trouble. Staff friendly. Food was lovely. Will definitely be visiting again

Excellent find! Very appealing shop front and though small, really pleasant inside. We had a warm welcome from a young lady who took our order promptly. Our flat white and tea were very good. It was our first visit to Downham Market, a pleasant small town so when we go back we will revisit The Seat.

Nice place to stay for a few days, would happily stay again.

My kids liked the food , but service is very poor

Nice lunch and very decent pint of bitter with a friendly welcome and good service in pleasant surroundings. Not the cheapest but well worth the visit & shall return. Thanks.

Pop in on the off chance during a bike ride, very friendly and an excellent pint of thatchers gold.

The food is served quickly, the food is so-so..

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, dog friendly, great food, cannot fault it in any way. Would highly recommend

Amazing menu and fabulous food to match, great service even after a manically busy day for the staff. Restaurants and bars like this are few and far between these days. A little gem in North Norfolk and not to be missed.

Been here a couple of times for take away. We usually share a mini fish and chips which is enough for us. Today this mini fish seemed to be removed from the main menu only to be offered kids meal with a drink. We decided to have cod and chips twice (as 4 of us) for £25 the fish was very thin and not too many chips. Some if which were scrag ends. Very disappointed for the price as we have always had a good take away. Probably won't visit there again which is a shame.
