Went here with friends for lunch, the setting is nice and it's clearly a local favourite as it was busy when we saw arrived. The staff were very prompt and helpful. The food was very tasty, personally I thought the portion sizes were large, we all struggled to finish. Would recommend going, just don't eat much before hand 👍

Selection of ale's was superb, all of my favourites in one place. Staff very friendly on arrival, made you feel welcome. Food was quickly prepared and considering we were a group of around 20, no mean feat. Portions were huge, the children's portions were big enough for.most adults. Although it did mean no room for dessert which was a shame and perhaps a missed opportunity. Smaller mains, lower price but make up with selling more desserts. Just a thought. Overall though, brilliant and ill be back.

We have been going to this Bistro style pub for many years and can honestly say we have never been disappointed, and today was no exception!Great atmosphere and updated decor inside and out, and an exciting & comprehensive menu. Attentive and friendly staff and scrumptious food just topped off this wonderful lunchtime treat.

If you are booking make sure you book a table early! The food is amazing and very very popular!Staff were very accommodating and managed to get me a table for food.The room was good a little noisy with road traffic. Role top bath looked very nice but wasn't really practical for a shower on a business trip.Bed was very comfy and rooms very clean

We went for a Sunday lunch and cannot fault it at all. Very generous portion sizes and incredible cooking makes the prices feel great value! The staff were so friendly and helpful. We sat outside with the dog and he was dead chuffed with his complimentary sausage alongside our roast.

Great food, lively atmosphere. We sat opposite the bar, which sadly was where multiple groups of people congregated to pay, and often felt overwhelming. I'm sure we could have moved, but this mostly happened when we were eating our food. Otherwise a lovely restaurant, we will come again, but next time, sit somewhere a little less busy.

Very busy when we visited.The range of the menu was a cut above a standard pub fare whilst still offerings some of the classics.The staff were very friendly and helpful and the bar offered a range of real ales.You definitely need to bring your appetite with you as the portions were generous.Best to book ahead.

This has to be one of greatest pubs in the world.My wife and I used to visit here a lot when I was posted at RAF Coltishall so when I got the opportunity with work to revisit the area I couldn't resist staying here.The menu is still as good as ever. The selection of fish dishes is the best I've ever seen and everything is so tasty, fresh and moreish.Nice to see the place is still as busy as ever. Stopping overnight also meant I could try their breakfast which was just as good as the dinner.Can't wait to visit again, hopefully it won't be as long this time!

The Good: Really lovely pub with great, friendly staff and a nice outdoor/part covered area with heaters perfect for any time of year. The bar looked well stocked too, from what I briefly saw before being shown to my seat.If you're a meat/seafood eater, you're in for a treat! The menu for these looked excellent.Needs Work: their vegan menu isn't much up to scratch. There is one vegan starter, two vegan mains and no advertised vegan desserts (sorbet is mentioned but not specified as vegan). The sample Sunday menu on their website doesn't specify anything as vegan, neither does their 'B&B Guests Only' menu.There are So Many potentials for vegan food - particularly desserts - that are missing from this menu. Clearer labelling would definitely help, but so would a little imagination in the kitchen. As a result, I'd definitely have drinks here but couldn't recommend the food to anyone who eats a solely Plant Based diet.
