"Having heard good things about the venue, I was looking forward to going there with friends. It started badly, no wine glasses behind the bar. Transpires they were upstairs. When we went to the table, 2 out of the 5 mains were not available and half starters were not either. The daily specials were the preferred option of a really limited menu. When the scallops arrived £11.50 for 3) whilst they were just cooked, they were tiny and all were very varied in size a number of us had them. No consistency in size at all, and not even 'queen ' size, more like 'toddler '. The salmon was main was the same, but nicely cooked. It 's annoying when half he table get in essence forced to opting for second or third choices, and then their being evident portion discrepancies, plus little in the way of veg. Other comments from friends were similar in relation to portion control, but the best was that they had 'run out of gravy, so sorry ' when it came to the cumberland sausage. Whilst the staff were young and trying hard, the delay on getting the food to table was long 30 for starters and another 45 between for main. This was topped off by being told at 8.45 that if we wanted desert we had to chose then, as the kitchen closed at 9. The main plates had only just been lifted. We were then told if you want any more drinks, the bar in restaurant was closing and we were welcome to stay but we would have to get our own drinks from downstairs. All a little shocking for somewhere where far more was expected and it left me wondering if the owner was Mr Clayton or whether the cantankerous legend of Roger Duggan had somehow been allowed to remain that night. Disappointed did not cover it."

Their crab in spaghetti was tasty though expensive. Their tiramisu dessert was excellent. Service was good if a little hit miss.

A fantastic evening meal, the food, staff and atmosphere were excellent. The menu is varied with high quality dishes and many locally sourced produce. The whole evening was an absolute pleasure, the Crown and Mitre will be our first port of call should we return to Kings Lynn.

We went here for our 47th wedding anniversary with our two best friends. Very disappointed with my food I had monkfish scampi with chips and peas. Fish very tough and chewy would definitely not recommend. Waiter did ask if everything was okay and I told him about mine and he just walked away. Venue is very nice but sadly we will not be going back.

Booked for lunch, reserved online, asking for a table overlooking the river. We had a beer outside while looking at the menu. Selection on menu was seasonal, choice of meats and fish dishes. I had the seafood and prawn curry and my partner the chicken snitzel. We were both pleased with our choices, the food tasted fresh and was beautifully cooked. We will be returning. Thank you View menu

We had a dreadful experience at this restaurant. Despite booking a table, we were seated at a cramped spot at 7:30, and the neighboring table had to be rearranged for us to fit thank god there was only two of us! By 8:35, we still hadn't received our starters, and table beside had been waiting equally as long for main course prompting us to leave. The service was abysmal, Completely ruined what was supposed to be a pleasant birthday meal.

This was the first visit for most of us. Some of us hadn't been in this pub in many years but it has now been taken over and completely re vamped. The bar is full of character with lots of shipping paraphernalia, the staff are welcoming and helpful. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food: some had burgers, some ox cheeks and some curries. The desserts were lovely too, although the chocolate tart was a bit too rich for me. We sat upstairs which must be amazing when it isn't dark outside! Our only issues were that it did take a long time for the food to arrive. It was Saturday night and there were quite a few of us, though. Also, because of the design of the place, we had to spread our party o...

"We had pre-booked a table for 6 people to have lunch at 2:15pm. We arrived on time and were shown to the table, which had only been set for 4 people which meant we had to pull a further 2 chairs up to the table, and had to request a wine list. We ordered a round of drinks for the table which took c. 15 minutes to arrive. We were waiting a considerable amount of time for a food menu. Eventually we called a waiter over to order some food and were told that the kitchen we no longer serving, despite having booked a table for lunch and not being warned of the kitchen closing time. The staff told us to be quick in ordering however took a further 10 minutes to come and take the order. The food eventually came and the waitress didn 't even put the food at the correct place, she merely put them on the table for us to distribute accordingly. When the bill eventually came, we politely requested the *optional service charge was removed from the bill as we did not feel that we had received adequate service to warrant a tip, to which the manager began shouting that it as shocking that we wanted to rightfully remove the tip. He went on to say that the kitchen staff had stayed over time to prepare our food. My question to the owner is this... if your chefs are unwilling to work over their hours, why are you offering a reservation close to closing time whilst your staff are incapable of processing the orders to the kitchens in the correct timescale and working hours. If we were told that the kitchen were closing soon, we would have cooperated with the staff to help them work to their time scales."
