The best restaurants serving British food in Cromwells South Norfolk East of England

I had the beef roast and the food was awful! The meat was cold, and really tough (Hurt my fingers with the pressure I had to put on the cutlery to try and cut the beef)l as I wasn’t given the correct knife) the Yorkshire pudding was burnt, cold and crispy, the veg was cold, The bacon was burnt and cold. The stuffing was dry and tough (And I had to pay £1.50 extra for it!) the food took nearly 30 minutes to come (And they didn’t look too rushed off their feet so no idea what they were all doing) I’m really not impressed! Kept hearing the staff chatting in the kitchen and coughing in the kitchen and as they were walking around the restaurant. (Really hoping they covered their mouths and washed their hands before handling the food!) the decor is lovely and has old train seats and tables which is nice, but the food is awful and I won’t be coming back

Having looked at several offerings in the Wymondham area we settled on the Boars for our club Xmas dinner . Many members expressed an interest in a meal out but in the end were not tempted by the menu and price so only 9 of us met to enjoy festive fun .For starters the mushrooms on toast were enjoyed but the croquettes were dull and disappointing and the cured trout tartare with bearnaise sauce was really disappointing and quite difficult to eat as the “sauce” was solidified warmed butter - greasy and unpleasant. The main courses were lacking in sufficient and varied vegetables ( only Brussels with the Xmas dinner ) and nothing extra served with the other main courses and several dinners thought their Turkey tasted fishy . The only nod to a Christmas meal was a Santa hat for each dinner. On reflection eating from the main menu would have been a better choice than opting for the Xmas offering

What can I say, due to the pub we was in deciding to close the kitchen as they was too busy. My wife decided to give the railway a call but not expecting to get in. Well they managed to fit us in at the last minute. The pub was very nice and clean, and cannot fault the staff for their service. The food was well presented and tasted lovely, we will most definitely be going back in the future.
