Customer Review Summary

Sunday roasts draw repeat praise, with reviewers singling out a roast beef dinner with large portions and a pork belly roast described as made "with love." Close behind, fish dishes get consistent mentions, from a hearty Fish & Chips plate to cod and chips and a pulled duck stir fry off the specials. Several also note friendly, attentive staff, quick food, a spacious garden, and a good beer, cider, and ale selection, with outdoor diners noting drinks and food there are paid as you go. One visit stands apart sharply: a party of four described a pizza tasting stale, a lasagne that seemed reheated with dried-on sauce, roast potatoes that missed the mark, food arriving within ten minutes suggesting nothing was freshly cooked, a staff member described as rude and dismissive, and toilets called dirty and unhygienic. Most other reviewers, though, describe warm welcomes, generous portions, and returning for another visit.

    “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.”

    “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.”
