"Me and my family decided to have a meal at the bank house as we saw on Instagram they had a Prix Fixe Menu and we are currently on holiday in Kings Lynn. We had a lovely meal at the bank house last year and when we saw the menu of 2 course for £16 and 3 courses for £20 advertised, we thought this was such a good deal! However, we arrived at the Bank House and when seated we’re only given the normal menu. I then asked the waitress if we could have the Prix Fixe Menu. The waitress then said we don’t do that and a lot of people have been asking about that. I then said to the waitress that it was posted on their instagram six days ago and then reposted two days ago. The waitress then said oh I don’t think it’s on today and I then mentioned how it said that it’s from Monday to Friday from 12pm to 6pm. The waitress then said she will go and ask the manger. They then came back and said that it shouldn’t have been posted yet due to issues with the chef and said they we won’t be offended if we leave. We decided to look at the menu but then left to eat somewhere else after feeling disappointed. I do feel that they should remove the posts advertising for the Prix Fixe Menu (on Instagram and I presume on Facebook too) as it could encourage people to book but then to found out it doesn’t actually exist and may be too embarrassed to leave. Also this is a bit unfair on people who may be on a budget who are looking for a nice meal as a family treat. Hopefully they can sort this issue out as it would’ve been lovely to try this menu, but it should be taken down as it is still posted on instagram."

"--- I recently had lunch at this restaurant and wanted to share my thoughts. The overall experience was enjoyable, with the atmosphere being the standout feature—definitely a 5 out of 5. The ambiance was vibrant and inviting, making it a great place to relax. As for the food, it was decent but didn’t quite blow me away; I'd give it a rating of 3. While the dishes were generally good, they lacked that extra flair that would make them truly memorable. On a more positive note, the service was commendable, earning a solid 4. The staff were attentive and friendly, ensuring we had everything we needed during our meal. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience, especially for the ambiance and service, but there’s room for improvement in the food department."

"Been many times before ,however the last two visits havnt been to the usual high standards. No Fish and Chips at 7.30 on a Saturday evening. Ordered Chicken Kiev took over half an hour to arrive . Chips were totally over cooked tasted like reheated ,Chicken bland . Wife's Steak was OK however Rosti didn't taste freshly cooked as neither did the ratatouille side . Not the quality expected for the price . Price per person: £50–60"

"We visited this restaurant for dinner based on my brother's recommendation and were thoroughly impressed. It is a fantastic spot for a meal, featuring friendly staff and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The selection of tapas was excellent, with plenty of choices available. The quality of the food was outstanding, and it was served at a good pace, ensuring we always had plenty on the table. The desserts were also delightful, and I would even say they were better than the main courses—but everything was really excellent. Given this experience, I wholeheartedly recommend a visit. I would definitely return!"

"Came in for lunch, looked at the menu as given to us and not informed that numerous things were missing. When ordering we was told there was no lobster for the prawn and lobster cocktail but we still ordered it. I ordered the Henry burger that is a 25.00 burger so you expect something decent. The burgers were dry and over cooked, short rib burgers should be bubbling with juices but no,chicken was dryish and chewy, no gammon and the fried egg was way overcooked. I get that it's a big feat making something like this but everything tasted precooked and thrown on the grill to bring up to a higher temperature. Items were definitely left in a merry chef or some kind of hot hold. I personally would not recommend this burger but the others look quite nice and a bit easier to make. I wasn't going to quibble as it is what it is and the staff seemed sufficient for the job. Very hit and miss here as my brother in law had a great meal last week but as an ex chef maybe my standards are a little bit higher... Who knows !"

"My family and I had such a lovely time here this weekend. We came for afternoon tea for my dad’s birthday and the food was amazing! Actually one of the best afternoon teas I’ve had and my dad absolutely loved it. I’d never heard of here before, I travelled from Hertfordshire as my parents live in Norfolk. My dad loves an afternoon tea and so for his birthday I wanted to go somewhere on the broads as it’s lovely there and came across Staithe and Willow and I’m honestly so glad I did Not only was the food amazing but the staff were so friendly too, the cafe itself is so cosy and welcoming. I can’t praise it enough, thank you for such a lovely experience"
"We've been here many a time however today's will probably be the last. We didn't have a reservation but we're able to get a table saying how busy it was. We ordered drinks and food pretty quickly. We noted that there were 3 people taking orders and 1 behind the bar, this resulted in drinks being poured then sat at the bar. We eventually got drinks after around 6/7 mins of them being sat on the bar. We noted that there were not enough staff. Drinks were piling up on the bar, food was sitting on the pass waiting to go out and people were queuing by the entrance to be seated. The staff just couldn't cope. I wouldn't even try ringing no one answers it even when they are standing next to it doing nothing either. After 45 mins of waiting for food and table next to us receiving their starter and then mains (ordered after us) we queried our food. We were told that we ordered after the table next to us and that it depends on what we order. I know this is incorrect as the person has allergies so the waitress went through what they could and couldn't eat. Also it shouldn't matter what you order it's when the order goes to the kitchen that matters. We were told we were next however 15 minutes later the food came. Don't get me wrong the pies are lovely however the pastry lids have changed and are no longer puff pastry more like flat uncooked lids. We won't be visiting anytime soon. There's a serious issue with service and there needs to be more staff. Having drinks sit on the bar for 10 minutes isn't good. Shame really could be a great place to visit"

"Was very excited to visit the pub after reading the reviews posted on here last night being 7th March although it was early doors came away a little disappointed. The barman/ waiter appeared to be the only person on duty and really dressed for the occasion. He was polite and friendly but stretched we placed our order waited it arrived. One fish dish and one meat dish great emphasis was place on bringing us our jus to accompany our meal. My plate consisted of rubber cold french beans a splodge of equally cold pea puree although the lamb was cooked to perfection as were the very small portion of potatoes, my husband fish equally as good but was accompanied by the same red meat jus as mine and noticed when leaving most of the restaurant had. (it was very similar to bisto) we asked to see the desert menu it eventually arrived but was then left for a considerable amount of time as the conversation at the bar was a little more important needless to say we paid and left so a little uncertain about a return visit. To sum things up the meal was mediocre if not a little petite lacked vegetables and tepid. Really had this down as our nxt fav restaurant in Alton ."

"We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The ambiance was delightful, and the young man who greeted us and escorted us to our reserved table was exceptionally attentive and polite. He served our meals efficiently, which added to our enjoyment. The price per person ranged from £20 to £30. Here’s my breakdown: Food: 4/5, Service: 5/5, Atmosphere: 5/5. I highly recommend trying the Lasagne, Burger, Classic Burger with Fries, Steak Ale Pie, and Cheeseburger with Chips."

"What can I say about Rico's? The best Italian restaurant I've ever been to and the most friendly staff you can get! I've been coming to Ricos in Poulton-le-Fylde for around 18 years now, and honestly, I've never had a bad experience or meal here. Ordered a Serloin Steak Diane for myself tonight and my mother got a Fillet Stilton. Both came with vegetables which were nice and crunchy and potatoes served with the Diane sauce which was absolutely amazing! Obviously accompanied by a lovely pint of peroni, or two! I will never stop coming to this fantastic Italian restaurant. It is 100% worth the money you pay! Not only that, I've been here to celebrate various birthdays and they always make you feel special, bringing out the instruments and a candle in a desert courtesy of the restaurant. Get yourselves there people, you won't regret it!"

"From the moment we entered The Bell, everything felt just right. The bar was lively, offering a great selection of ales. It was also dog-friendly, complete with a lovely personalized letter for our dog that included poop bags, toys, and treats. The staff were all delightful, and the location in the heart of the village couldn't be better. While the evening menu was somewhat limited, the food was outstanding, and breakfast was equally impressive. The quirky atmosphere added to the charm, as the dining room ceiling is supposedly supported by a column of books, and our room featured a tree and a barber's chair! Overall, it was a fantastic discovery, and it’s easy to see why it has received several awards!"
"We were staying at the nearby Premier Inn, and fortunately the associated Beefeater was fully booked, I asked for a bit of local guidance from the hotel reception, to be told that this pub is two minutes off site. A missed trick for many as we have used Beefeater many times before and have mainly been disappointed. The staff here are very welcoming, a great selection of good beers. We had a platter, followed by a lamb pie and a chicken chorizo pie. All very good pub standard food. The pies were particularly tasty. Good portion sizes and well presented. All in with two drinks £56. Nice atmosphere low music with an 80’s vibe."

"Really nice, had driven past a lot, didn't think it looked like much but finally went in and glad we did. It's bigger than it looks inside and out and the garden is enclosed and has a great play area with loads to keep kids busy. We sat at a booth inside and had great service. Good menu too and the food we ordered was with us reasonably quickly, well priced and delicious. Will be going back. Service: Dine in"

"I would have given a score of zero if I could! I visited The Swan while staying at a local Airbnb. Our first choice was The Crown and Horns, but they were closed due to flooding. We arrived at 6pm with a group of 6, ordered drinks at the bar, and then sat at our table. The waitress was pleasant but swore in front of us, which was inappropriate. She took our order at 6:30pm and our starters arrived at 7:15pm. The bread and olives were clearly from a jar and very vinegary, the king prawns in garlic butter were plain grilled prawns on white bread. The crispy squid was actually calamari, not squid. We had to wait until 8:15pm for our main meals. The steak and ale pie was awful, with cold tasteless mash, cabbage, and watery tasteless pie. The waitress took the meal back, microwaved it, and returned it 20 minutes later. The Sean burgers were disappointing, more like swamp burgers than fresh burgers as described. The lamb shank in red wine jus was served with cold mash and cabbage and lacked jus. When we expressed our dissatisfaction, we were told we still had to pay for the pie. The landlady was rude and hostile, even swearing about us at the bar. I understand that this is a small country pub, but I come from a similar village where the local pub offers great food and service. Do not waste your time and money at The Swan. They charge gastro pub prices for cheap roadside cafe food and service. We will not be returning. It was awful!"

"Young chap with blonde hair (don't know his name) behind the bar was very nice. We went 2 nights in succession, once in the restaurant, once in the bar area. Food was delicious and beautifully presented. There was a tv which was thankfully off and background music which was just that, so good for us. It was tastefully decoated and furnished. Overall ambience of upmarket and quality. The weather was abominable and we went at night so can't comment on the outside. We didn't use the toilets. We would certainly return."

"When I booked a table for our Christmas meal in October I was told the Christmas menu had not yet been decided but there would be one. I heard nothing until the week before when someone from the pub rang to confirm our booking. They said that there would be no Christmas menu because we had not pre-ordered or paid a deposit but there would be options like duck a l’orange and rack of lamb. When we arrived the menu consisted of bought in Pie-Minster pies, hunters chicken and scampi and their homemade Pirate pies, which were supposed to be a take on the old Desperate Dan pies of old. 3 ordered the Pie-minster pies, which were nice. 2 of us ordered the Pirate pies which were supposed to be a meat and vegetable stew with pastry top. I don’t know how they did it but when they arrived they were scalding hot yet the chantenay carrots were raw or barely cooked. What little meat there was was tough as old boots. You even had to order chips as a side dish! How they had the nerve to charge £16.95 for that meal beggars belief. We used to go to the Little Pack Horse regularly before covid when the food used to be really good quality. If they don’t improve quickly they are doomed."
"I can't comment on the food or service at this restaurant because we weren't able to book a celebratory event recently. The management informed us that children are not welcome at these lunches, stating that people want to enjoy their special moments without kids causing any disruptions. I find this attitude quite strange. Instead, we decided to book at the Globe Inn in Wells, which was incredibly family-friendly for both children and dogs. The food there was excellent. We also made a reservation at Socious, which was outstanding, with food and service that surpassed what we've experienced at some top restaurants in London."

"I drive past this place on the way to errol most Sundays and always wondered what it would be like. Noticeable enough to wonder as you drive past. Horn Milk Bar... Something lost to time I'm afraid. Highly anticipated; me hoping to have found a hidden gem. Stepped in to a time warped dated estsbliment. I'm trying to be fair to the estsbliment. It's a fair set up but the decor really let's it self down. To be fair the staff had a good handle on the situation and we're helpful. Although I know my bacon was deep fried and I was highly disappointed at the end. It was a shame as it wasn't I would consider good value. £9.50. I took a look at the small bakery and cake section up exit. Nothing to write home about. All in all. I would of loved to of seen it's hay day but in reflection it's conveniently placed pit stop on the way out of Dundee and conviently near Eroll Sunday Market."
