  “I am so happy to once again say how much I enjoyed the Sunday Lunch @ the Foundry Arms,Northrepps just a few miles from Cromer where I am staying. The standards certainly have not dropped. I was totally impressed with the quality of the food,the charming,friendly service and the ambience. I felt relaxed sitting in the bar area supping my beer and I was not disappointed when the roast beef complete with all the trimmings arrived. It was reasonably priced too. Obviously it has a good reputation as locals and holidaymakers were constantly coming and going Full marks,you made me feel welcome and will return.”

  “Enjoyed lunch there today with my two dogs, never been before but will definitely visit again. I had the fish and chips, fish was very fresh and cooked to perfection. The hosts were very welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. I chose to eat inside as it was quite humid. I was shown to a table by the window which gave a lovely breeze. The outside area was very pleasant with shade available. Excellent service, highly recommend”

  “Was in the area of Cromer, and was looking for a crab dish - this place came up. Called in there today and had a delicious crab linguine, they didn’t hold back on the crab. Also a burger with cheese and bacon, again a lovely meal - I wouldn’t ask for anything extra on it. Staff were friendly, beer was great. Met a couple with 3 very well behaved dogs, as with everyone we met there were very friendly. Would recommend if you are I the area, or even further afield!!”

  “Excellent freshly cooked food in lovely rural location. Convenient car park. Good choices for those with allergies - i.e. gluten free. Super dog friendly. Excellent fish and chips with generous portions.”

  “Dropped in on an early Friday evening as an off chance drive by. We received a super friendly welcome, were put straight to a table and then presented with an excellent menu catering for all tastes. We chose the Norfolk Crab Salad and Crab linguine, both first class. The linguine especially was right up there with anything you'd get in a top Italian restaurant in London. Service from start to finish was great, big smiles and very attentive. And vg value too. Well done Foundry Arms, we'll be back!”

  “Fab friendly staff, not too noisy, great food and just a good honest pub. Loving the horse brasses and the mural. Was just passing by - I hadn’t booked and they accommodated me. Made me feel really welcome. Would go out my way to come back again. Food was fresh. Menu and fish dishes were impressive - spoiled for choice and great to see crab on there. Couldn’t fault it. Definitely need to book when busy and beware the car park is quite small.”

  “Each time we visit Cromer we like to have at least one meal at this lovely country pub. Atmosphere is good and staff all very efficient and friendly and the food is delicious. The menu doesn’t do justice to the exceptional sea food platter and fish dishes on the Specials board. Worthwhile looking this one up.”

  “Sunday lunch yesterday was absolutely perfect. Charlie and the rest of the team made us feel so welcome. The service was exceptional as was the beef roast dinner. We also managed a few games of darts afterwards - it was so much fun. The pub is very dog friendly and a lovely warm environment especially after all of the rain!”

  “What a great village pub, North Norfolk is known for lovely villages but a lot die in the winter, this one bucks the trend, the locals support it all year round and I completely understand why. Great atmosphere, great staff, great events, great pub. We had the Sunday roast, big portions and complimentary Cauliflower cheese. My beef was overcooked but the chicken was great, and not just a few slices! The desserts were another level though, a lemon parfait enrobed in white chocolate with fresh raspberries on the side, sublime. What a great experience, thanks to James for looking after us.”

  “In summary, if you're in the area then go to this pub and ensure you book as it is deservedly very busy. Sarah squeezed us into the restaurant on a packed Friday evening and the accommodating and fantastic service started from the booking right up to us finishing our meal. My daughters went for the haddock and chips and the pie of the day (chicken and leek) and I decided to push the boat out with the Cromer lobster platter. The food was absolutely perfect with a melt in the mouth moist haddock and crispy fries; a richly flavoured pie and a seafood platter that sates even a fish foodie like me. My daugthers decided on the sundae of the day and a home-made brownie, both of which were nicely balanced and not too sweet (I had to try a bit of both as they looked so good!). I went for a local amber ale and it worked perfectly with sea food. Even on a packed service (we were right at the end of service hence the empty restaurant in the photo) the staff were attentive and couldn't be more obliging. They also evidently work really well as a team, which says a great deal about how the pub is managed. Ambience is great as there are lots of cozy spaces around the pub so even though there were a lot of people there when we went, it always felt like you were in an intimate space with personal service. Car parking is generous but if you're local I'd recommend walking there. We walked from where we were staying in Overstrand and it was a nice way to both build up an appetite and work off a huge meal. I can't say enough to recommend this place and if we're back in Overstrand or Northrepps we're going here again.”
