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

Good food service could be better.

Last pub visit for 2024. On aarivaknthw beer choice was smaller than expected but during my time there new beers were popping up on the beer list. A good choir in the end. Food, cheesy chips, was probably the worst I have had recently

Holidaying nearby, I booked a table for Sunday lunch, the two of us plus our sprocker spaniel, Herbie. We arrived 30 minutes early but it was no problem and we were warmly welcomed and seated. The Star Inn is what I’d call a proper old-fashioned pub. Catering mainly for locals, it was doing a roaring trade during our visit. The customers were friendly and the servers were lovely - one jolly lady in a glittery Santa hat was particularly taken by ‘the little ‘un’, our admittedly adorable pup Herbie, and had several interactions, feeding him a couple of doggy treats AND bringing him a bag of little biscuits to take away. We ordered traditional roasts - beef for me and a beef and turkey mix for my husband. The lady who took our order asked if we’d like horseradish and cranberry sauce (yes please and no thank you) and brought this to the table BEFORE the food arrived - thank you, thank you, thank you! I’ve never understood why most establishments wait until they’ve delivered your food to ask whether you want any condiments then disappear for five minutes to fetch them. The food was delicious, the horseradish hot enough to blow your socks off, and the portions were very generous - my husband couldn’t manage all his meat (lightweight!) but it was wrapped up to take away. (After a quick rinse at home to remove any gravy and horseradish, Herbie thought Christmas had come early when he had half for his breakfast this morning!) Although we had very little room left after our mains, we somehow managed to share a treacle sponge pudding and custard, which was equally delicious. A really enjoyable experience made even better by the warmth of the welcome and the fact that the pub is truly dog-friendly. We’ll definitely be back when we’re nearby again in the spring.

Nice polite Staff and good tasting drink, Now called the Lifeboat inn,Under new management, Restaurant not yet open due to refurbishment.

Excellent customer service from all staff. We booked the function room for my daughters 18th, the room was perfect with a great atmosphere. Bar staff where brilliant. Drinks where reasonable prices. Would definitely recommend

We have enjoyed tasty breakfasts twice now since the Dunes entered new ownership this month. The new owners were already very familiar with the venue, and thankfully they are stocking the same great pastries and cakes.

Lovely little pub. Friendly staff. Dogs welcome. Just missed the time for food but will definitely go back when I’m back in the area.

Visited on a walk into stalham. The bar maid was lovely and friendly , good range of drinks and a very quaint feel to the pub. Good value for money and a good hearty food offering.

An excellent fish and chip shop! Consistently great food and very friendly service. Plenty of choice, generous portions and really clean. Thank you!
