"This is Norfolk 's outstanding gem...!!! Quite literally stumbled upon whilst taking a wrong turn, my friend and I decided to have a meal there. Warmly greeted and shown to our table we looked through the wonderful menu. It was an excellent selection full of temptations. I chose steak whilst my friend went with a burger. Both arrived and looked gorgeous, the steak was perfectly cooked and the delicious chips had delightfully fluffy centres. My friends burger beat her, it was a huge portion and even I couldn 't finish off all her fries to help. Midweek we paid another visit in the evening and this time I tried their rather excellent beef lasagne, but this time I allowed myself to indulge in dessert. The homemade chocolate brownie was dreamy, I could easily have had seconds... Lastly I returned on the last night of my holiday and sampled a starter for a change, the utterly divine garlic mushrooms, its sauce not too overpowering so the subtle taste of the mushrooms came through. I followed this with their Gourmet Burger.. what I feast this is..!! Succulent beef patty with ample salad filling and bacon, served with side salad with dressing and fries. Absolutely tremendous!!! I finished with the profiteroles for afters which were the icing on the cake... Each meal was washed down with a bitter shandy (I 'm driving) made from the delightfully named Nanny Goat beer. The staff are exemplary and are happy to accommodate changes to the menu items, but more importantly unlike chain pubs your are not just a table number here, you are a customer and one they will happily dpend time chatting to and getting to know. This alone is worth the five stars even if it wasn 't gor the scrumptious food too. Do yourself a favour, go find this pub, stick on your sat nav or simply get lost down a lane in Skeyton like I did, but do find it.. this place is what pubs should all be like. Charming, rural and giving good custom.."

"For the past 6 years I have been taking my mum who is 88 years this week to this restaurant for lunch for her birthday and it has always been excellent. The service is ideal for a special occasion as it makes you feel special and the food has been superb. We went to the restaurant on Saturday and everything started off well, lovely starter, excellent service and friendly staff. Then we got the main course which was such a disappointment. The beautiful Cod was full of bones. The menu didn't say that the fish was not filleted. The chips were about 3cm square and although they tasted lovely the middle of the chips were uncooked. The mashed peas were very dry. We had to send the meal back because we couldn't eat it. I was very worried that my elderly mother would choke on a bone. When i went to reception to pay I was asked if everything was okay and I explained that the fish was not filleted. The manageress who was also at the reception desk was very snotty and said that all fish has bones and suggested that i order squid in future. I tried to explain that we had fish and chips out often and have never had bones in the fish. She was very dismissive and due to the attitude of this member of staff we would not go to this restaurant again. A simple apology would have been enough for us to return but avoid the fish. It is such a shame as we have always enjoyed our visits to this restaurant. If you decide to visit then beware of the Fish!"

"We were visiting Cromer for the day and liked the look of The Art House Cafe so went in for lunch. We had Prawn Brioche and Smoked Salmon Bagel which were tasty and have no complaints. Coffee was good and overall we were happy with the offering. In other circumstances I would have been happy to have awarded 4 or even 5 stars but the way I saw some potential customers being treated means I couldn’t as it seems that parties of more than 4 won’t be accommodated at the same table here. A group of 5 came in while we were there and were told that they weren’t allowed to put an extra chair on the end of a table for 4. Presuming that it was because it would cause an obstruction at that particular table we offered to swop tables but were told that it wasn’t permitted to move any chairs or tables as that would disrupt the staff’s way of working!! So a group of 5 who would have spent a substantial amount of money went out the door to another establishment. At a time when we are told how tough times are for the hospitality sector it seems strange to turn away trade as it may slightly inconvenience staff. I must add that, to her credit, the girl behind the counter apologised if I thought her rude in the way she refused my offer of moving tables. We noted that at no point during our time there did staff pass where the extra chair would have been but when 3 women came in with 2 very large dogs who spread themselves across the floor, the staff had to take detours to avoid standing on the dogs. Looks like they are happier to accommodate dogs than paying customers."
