The best restaurants serving British food in Glaven Valley North Norfolk East of England

We had been customers here for many years but over the last couple of years we thought the prices had got a bit greedy so we’d stopped coming. But earlier this year they started offering Sunday lunch at £50 which was much more reasonable and good value for money. It has returned to a regular treat for us and I suspect many more previous customers. The food is still exceptional along with very good service. The staff know their stuff and make it a very relaxed and pleasant experience. You can book your table for anytime between 12 and 4 and you are not rushed. The menu is varied and you have a choice which you never used to which is a plus. And generous portions, you will not come away disappointed! We have booked again and have no doubt it will be excellent again and a regular treat.

We wish to have a good meal before leaving Blakeney, and I'm greatful to find this place. There are not much comments about the restaurant on Google map, but that doesn't mean that the restaurant is poor. The restaurant was granted the 2 AA Rosette award and the chef did amazing job from starter to main course. The King Prawn with Focaccia is one of the best starter that I tried for the last few years, the delicious Creme Fraiche become a wonderful linkage of the prawn and the bread. I really wish we order one more. For the main course, the steak & resotto are wonderful and we both agree the hash brown is the highlight and bring the main course to another level. North Norfolk is a peaceful place and people are keen to stay a weekend for relaxing. If you're interested to a proper dining, I'm sure you will love the whole dining experience

I ordered my food over the phone and it was hot and ready, just being packaged when I arrived. The Bap I had was so fresh and they even catered to my request of of some additional rocket in the bap. Very good service and food will be returning.

As locals, we really enjoyed our visit to see the re-imagined cafe under the Norfolk Tea brand (our fave brew!). After a few ropey lunches when the cafe was open and declining in the past, we thought the revamp bright and inviting. The tea is first rate and the coffee is, in fact, made using a proper Italian coffee machine - a lovely ‘coastal’ blend as they call it. Our locally made savouries and cakes were delicious and not over-priced. We were told that further developments are planned, including the pizza nights, which we enjoyed previously. The staff seem lovely and this beautiful spot has now come back to life. We disagree with the early criticism by a few naysayers and think the new owners are on to a very good thing. Most people, after a ‘bracing’ and sometimes muddy walk on the marshes, dressed outdoor gear, simply want a good quality cuppa or coffee and a nice lunchtime snack, not a fancy meal and it’s great to see this new offering in this idyllic place. Well done and we will be back soon!

Had a lovely experience with a young lad I think he was a pot wash definitely keen to work he looked to be working really hard led me to leave a hefty tip. Saturday Night I hope he gets the recognition he deserves.

My porridge turned up cold, so I sent it back. It came back and it came back cold a second time. I asked for sourdough toast with my breakfast, but was told “it only comes with certain meals”. They said they could give me sourdough bread, but they didn’t bother giving me that either. The other plates of breakfast were not hot either. Overdone poached eggs. Some of the staff were not unduly friendly, or helpful.

Had a fantastic meal at the pub restaurant this evening. Guy the Duty Manager assisted us with the perfect table (we had not booked a reservation) at the window. His service was fantastic...the meal just spot on Thankyou

Be if a sunny but cold February or a sweltering summer, the hotel is perfect with its modern touches to the olde worlde charms. The restaurant staff are polite, informed and attentive without the overbearing ‘is everything alright?’ intrusion. We have had very good meals, but also the occasional hiccup with the food falling a little short. During our last visit the fish pie lacked the essential ingredient of fish and as the waiter noted on clearing the table, that looks ‘crispy’ around the edge as indeed it was. This wonderful location, and smart restaurant does itself a dis service by serving Cod and chips not on a simple plate but adding a piece of grease proof paper(?) al la fish and chips shop style. My pet hate is a plate of food served in mini pots with the expectation that one assembles the food themselves. This time was no exception, peas, tartar sauce, chips all came in little pots and the fish on the aforementioned grease paper. I simply don’t understand why such a good restaurant would want to compete with the local chippy or indeed invite comparison. Put the food on the plate and left the chef and ingredients do the talking.

It was a very damp and showery morning and we weren’t sure if the restaurant was even open! But we tried the door and it was . The lady on the bar asked the kitchen if they were still serving breakfast (it was only 10.10am) and they were. We sat down and there was a very damp smell in the room. Which was a little off putting but We ordered full English and Vegan breakfast, both with coffee. The coffee were served piping Hot which was lovely as usually they go cold before breakfast is served. But breakfast came and coffee was still hot!. Breakfast was also really hot and delicious, good local produce and served with a smile. Deffo come back again! Serves lunches and coffee and cake too so worth drying at different times of the day.

Family went for Sunday lunch. Prices are very high for roast dinners and there was nothing special at all about the food. The meat was poor. Very fatty and not much meat even when paying a supplement for “all the meats”. All in all quite the disappointment. When factoring the price tag it’s even worse. On the positive side the staff were lovely, attentive and kind. Just let down the by the kitchen and price. Also had tartiflette which contained no cheese which is not a tartiflette, it’s just potatoes!

Just arrived in Blakeney and took a stroll and popped into the White Horse for drinks and was welcomed by the bartender who made us do welcome This pub is absolutely spotless and the staff make you feel so welcome Put the faith back into British pubs

Went for a meal with our small dog whilst on holiday. They don't take bookings, had hoped they may make an exception as I was in a walking boot and on crutches and explained we'd be walking from our cottage so wanted to ensure it wasn't a wasted walk. They didn't - to be fair we did get in as was quiet. Told on arrival at 8.05 that they only do fish n chips after 8. We weren't told this earlier, but meal was decent. However "dog friendly" is not an accurate description. Our small dog tried to get on my lap and I asked if he could sit on the seat if I put him on his own blanket - landlord said no and claimed he didn't make the rules. Who does then? , but ok, fair enough. We then asked them to put some water in our dogs travel bowl. We were told only if he goes outside to drink it , as they don't want dogs sloshing water everywhere! I have never heard anything so ridiculous! It's a pub, spillages happen - and it was a hard tiled floor. What happens if someone spills a pint I wonder! We later in our trip went to the white horse and the manor hotel, which are more upmarket, and they were truly welcoming of us and our dog. In fact our dog tipped his water bowl over on the carpet in the manor hotel bar and they just said - oh no problem, don't worry. Will not return as we didn't feel valued as customers and our dog was tolerated, rather than welcomed.

Dog friendly gastro pub. Excellent Sunday roast offering with a good wine list. We would visit again when we are in the area.

This used to be a very nice traditional pub, with a good menu - what a difference a year makes! Bar moved, decorated in dull blue colour making the place look drab & uninviting. Barely anything on the menu bar fish & chips! Only 4 other diners in the place & like us were driven out due to thumping drum & bass music --- is that necessary at lunchtime?!? Won't be going back anytime soon.
