  “Had a great dinner here. Good menu with lots of choice; fishcake with crab aoli was excellent. Service was at times a little slow but it was very busy for a Mon and had a good atmosphere. Lovely decor and garden.”

  “We chose this restaurant as a stop-off on our way to Cromer, having been in the car for around two hours with the kids. We’d read the good reviews and, importantly, chose it because it had an outside play area for the children to let off some steam, as well as a children’s chocolate fondue dessert advertised online — which was one of the things that swayed us to come here. Unfortunately, the experience was really disappointing. When we arrived, the manageress didn’t even acknowledge us as we walked in, which was a pretty poor first impression. The welcome from the rest of the staff wasn’t particularly warm either, although I do want to mention Agnes, who was lovely and was the one member of staff who really made an effort with us. We ordered the fish sharing platter, which was okay, but the accompanying “salad” was essentially coleslaw without the mayonnaise and certainly wasn’t what we were expecting. My daughter’s pasta was particularly disappointing and she struggled to eat it. Then, despite the chocolate fondue being advertised online and being one of the reasons we had chosen the restaurant, we were told they didn’t actually have it. This was especially frustrating when you’ve chosen somewhere specifically with children in mind. The play area was a nice idea and was exactly what we were looking for after a long journey, but unfortunately the overall experience just didn’t live up to the good reviews we’d read. I’m not usually one to leave a negative review, but when you’ve deliberately chosen somewhere based on what it advertises and the experience falls short on the food, welcome and availability of advertised items, I think it’s fair to share an honest experience. A particular thank you to Agnes, who was the one bright spot in an otherwise disappointing visit.”

  “Really nice pub, reasonable prices, friendly service and a good range of ales and other drinks available. Really good beer garden with a great play park for the kids and dog friendly too. Most tables had reserved signs on them so looks like its best to book in advance!”

  “We had the Sunday roast here, it was simply fabulous! The Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes were to die for! Excellent service; friendly helpful staff and some very good ales. We will definitely return.”

  “Really great food and service. We arrived on a Monday evening and they didn’t have space to sit us right then but we booked in and had a drink and then got sat down promptly. The food was fantastic, really tasty, and the staff were really friendly. We had the salmon and the seabass and both were great choices.”

  “A wonderful stay from start to finish. We received a warm welcome on arrival, and our check-in was quick and effortless. Our room was beautifully decorated & clean, the beds were comfy, and the room was well stocked with toiletries, tea, coffee, and hot chocolate, which was a lovely touch. The breakfast was delicious and everything freshly prepared. The pub & restaurant is also beautiful decorated and clean, it's family friendly and has a lovely playground onsite. Great location with easy walking access to Overstand beach and a short drive (or 2 mile coastal walk) to Cromer We had a lovely stay and have already recommend here to our family & friends.”

  “What a lovely pub/restaurant. We stayed 3 nights, the room was spacious very clean and the decor was great. The breakfast had a really good selection and very tasty. We had an evening meal and would recommend the food and definitely need to book. The atmosphere was amazing and lovely to see that dogs are allowed. The staff were very friendly and I loved my stay and would come again.”
