"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."

"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"

"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!"
