"Having someone else cook for you is a treat. When that person is the 2023 Norfolk Chef of the Year, it’s an absolute delight. The Gin Trap Inn near Hunstanton combines the best of a traditional pub with boutique accommodation and amazing food. Every member of staff is friendly ensuring the warmest welcome, you even get 2 complimentary G T’s on arrival! Special mention to John and Sophie who looked after us with such professionalism, but also genuine kindness and interest in our visit. However, the main reason for our stay was to sample some of Gareth Rayner’s food. The restaurant menu was short thereby focussing of a number of delicious dishes that all hit the mark. The Truffle Arancini amuse bouche was the best I’ve ever had, so light and perfectly balanced. To start, I had to have Oysters which were fat, fresh and juicy. Offset with a G T granita and pickled cucumber, I was in Ozone heaven. The Cheese Souffle was an absolute triumph. Perfectly cooked, light and fluffy and sitting in a pond of cheesy sauce. The Halibut was as white as snow and served in a subtlety spiced sauce with golden raisins whose sweetness was an ideal accompaniment. The Pork served three ways was a homage to the pig. Melt in the mouth belly, a crispy rillette and juicy loin working in harmony better than any band you care to mention. There is a lot of amazing techniques on show here, however the focus remains on maximising beautiful ingredients rather than creating lots of foams, emulsions, essences and crumbs! Gareth popped out for a chat and we spoke enthusiastically about his food. Hailing from the North East, he is so down to earth, yet living his dream creating fantastic food. I cannot recommend this venue highly enough"

We visited again after a great meal 1 year ago. £36 for two strips of tasteless sirloin was quite frankly very disappointing!

Lovely pub with great quality food (a la carte bar snacks); good selection of beers, wines, gin. Staff really friendly with great service. Highly recommend but best to book in advance if you want to eat in the restaurant. View menu

A fabulous dinner, great staff and a special mention to John who remained professional throughout having to deal with a table of some of the rudest and most ignorant people I have seen out in public in a very long time. Bravo all, we shall return.

Went to the Gin Trap this evening, what a wonderful atmosphere. I have passed this inn many times over the last 20 years or so but have never called in. However, as we were staying in Ringstead, it was the obvious place to go. I wish I had done this years ago. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. We will definitely put it on our list to call in again

Appalling service from an arrogant bar tender who's rudeness and cocky attitude was actually the reason for us leaving our half drunk drinks and half eaten meal behind. It was 11°degrees outside and no heating on!!! The pub was very cold and lacked any atmosphere. Not worth the nearly £80.00 bill which we managed to rack up in 30 minutes of being there. View menu

The Gin Trap is our local pub when we visit Ringstead each year. It's a delightful place to go, especially the lovely outside spaces with a friendly welcome and excellent beer. Inside it retains its old world charm and I can imagine how cosy it would be on cold days with the fire lit. Not only is it a great place, it looks fabulous. I'm back again next week so, looking forward to a few visits.

We had planned to spend a few nights here in 2020 but had to cancel due to covid. So,today we took the opportunity to visit the Gin Trap when touring the area.Our medium sized 2 glasses of wine cost £19, hefty price!! We noted that the dinner menu was priced high end, and maybe justified. But the real issue for us was the loud music. When we asked for 'Madness '! to be turned down we were told that the owner likes the music to be at that level! To be fair it was turned down but.... Really, customer comes first?
