Customer Review Summary
Fish and chips is the draw reviewers raise most, with the cod and chips and a generous plate of fish, chips and peas singled out as delicious. Close behind are the Sunday roasts, including a large roast beef dinner and a pork belly roast, and a burger whose garlic butter sauce one diner called a game changer. Others mention a pulled duck stir fry, a crab salad and a Malteasers ice cream sundae. Reviewers repeatedly describe friendly staff, a lovely garden with indoor and outdoor seating, and a table found for walk-ins without a booking, even on a full Saturday. Real ale gets a nod too. The main complaint comes from one Sunday visitor whose pizza tasted as though it had been cooked a week earlier, whose lasagne was dry with sauce dried onto the bowl, and whose roast potatoes disappointed. That diner felt the meals arrived too fast to be homemade and said nobody checked how the food was. Most others describe food arriving hot without a long wait, and one praised a pub with no music drowning out conversation.

“Absolute gem!! We visited on Thursday 8th July during our amazing summer sunshine. We were visiting Norfolk for 5days and staying in near by North Walsham. This Pub has it all, from ample parking, out door space along with indoor restaurant, dog friendly, Expansive menu choices including specials board, fantastic staff, service and the food was ace !! Food was cooked quickly, was hot & delicious. Excellent selection of beers, ciders and ales. If you are sitting outside, then you need to pay as you go, for drinks and food which is completely understandable. I would 100% recommend this pub during your visit. Thank you lighthouse inn for a great afternoon of food, drink and sunshine…. We hope you have a fabulous summer season. We will definitely be back.”

“There were 4 of us who ate here on a Sunday afternoon, the pizza came, looked and tasted as though it was cooked a week ago, the lasagne was definitely heated up with a bit of extra cheese thrown on top as the ‘tomato sauce’ was dried onto the bowl, it was also very dry. The roast dinner was probably the better meal however the ‘roast potatoes’ definitely weren’t. The meals all came out within 10 minutes of ordering so definitely not homemade. Not once were we asked if everything was ok, one of the members of staff were extremely rude and kept cutting us off as we spoke. The toilets were also incredibly dirty and unhygienic. I am really disappointed in the service and food as we have come for a meal during our holiday but definitely would’ve eat here again during our stay.”

“The Lighthouse Inn is a great little gastro pub. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the service in general was very good. WE didn’t have t wait too long for our food and what we received was very well prepared and immensely tasty. It has a small camping facility attached to it but even so it was not too busy. I enjoy my real ale and they looked after their beer very well.”
