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

We booked ahead based on the reviews. We were met and greeted by a friendly chap sat in the doorway and shown to a table and given two menus. When we asked what all the crosses meant he said he didn’t know. We initially asked for water to start and just over half a glass each was delivered. Turned out due to issues around 80% of the meals were off! We duly ordered and the food was promptly delivered, with just an ‘enjoy’. No one returned to our table, for drinks or a courtesy visit. When they cleared the table we asked for the bill. 15 minutes later, and no one coming near us, nothing, I went to the bar to pay. ‘Was everything ok?’ I’m asked. So I recounted the issues and all I got was a ‘oh, sorry’. End of conversation. No interest. We got the impression most of the clientele were locals. So, food was ‘ok’, but the customer service definitely needs reviewing??

The welcome was very warm and inviting, nothing too much trouble, Food was ordered and cooked to order. Ham was off the scale yummy, real ham, cut thick. Food was delicious. very good value. We will drop in again when we are this way.

Had the most wonderful experience here. Food was superb, presentation was beautiful, the ambience excellent. Service first class. A gentleman called Mark took my booking. He actually greeted us too, even helped me wheel in my disabled sister. What an Ambassador for this establishment.

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.

We had pre booked for a group of 4 for Sunday Roast - the beef being one of the best roasts I have ever had. Our table was busy when we arrived, we waited patiently with a drink. As soon as we sat down and ordered as soon as we were able to get some attention - the time pressure began and we were reminded of our time to leave and handed a card with our departure time. We were reminded again before our first course had even arrived, then again before we ordered a second course - all with odd attitude. We couldn’t have been quicker - it was all on their schedule A wonderful meal and venue, marred by odd service!

Terrible fish and chips. Have visited many times and enjoyed good fish and chips in the past. Safely this wasn't the case today. The fish was mainly batter and the fish was over cpoked. Certainly not worth nearly £12 a piece. It's a shame as we live in the area but we will not be returning again in a hurry. Other fish and chip shops are far better in the local area and more completely priced. I know they were busy today but you have to maintain standards and quality otherwise it is not fair to your regular customers.

Impromptu stop off for a meal while in the area .. Cod & Chips with mushy peas for hubby & myself .. £19 each .. meal arrived and was so shocked at the portion size .. the fish was mostly batter and so small would say 1/4 of a fillet .. not worth the money at all, total rip off and very disappointing.. we told the waitress when she cleared the plates, and were told thats how they buy the fish in .. err really .. well as so small serve 2 pieces.. will not return ..

Lovely pub with a warm friendly welcome. Good well kept beer. Food exceptional. I can only think that the two poor reviews from last year say more about the reviewers than the pub and lovely staff.

We had great food my son had pork tomerhawk it is fantastic , I had fish and chips great and my husband had soup he said was really good. . Service was really good .

A lovely busy little cafe, serving great coffee and delicious cakes above the waves with great views looking inland. Dog friendly too.

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

We walked from Burnham Overy Staithe to Holkham, intending to have a quick pint at The Victoria before catching the bus back. Unfortunately you can't do this any more as they have closed the bar. We did have two small but delicious tapas in the restaurant along with a glass of wine and a beer, but it seemed expensive at £34. So the place is great for a posh lunch, but in future we will walk from Holkham to Burnham Overy and have a pint at the Hero.

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.

Had a mid afternoon Sunday lunch here, absolutely fantastic all 4 meals including starters desserts and cheese was all delicious, great friendly service and nice sensible price wine

Went on the Missippi boat and the location / ambient nature of the place was nice. Food expensive but the river is cleaner than Wroxham which we also love. The stores were closed but recommended.
