"Although the menu held great promise, the restaurant itself was very basic and lacked ambiance. Despite this, we decided to give it a try. The starters (calamari and duck rillette) were okay, but the main courses were disappointing. The vegetables were overcooked, the hake and haddock fish cake was dry, and the coq au vin was unappetizing. We sent both dishes back and ultimately decided to leave. However, the waitress was fantastic, very helpful and apologetic. The restaurant ended up not charging us for the mains. Hopefully, the poor cooking was just a one-time issue, but the restaurant could definitely benefit from hiring an interior designer."

Food was good and well presented, service was reasonably fast. However, it seemed the kitchen couldn't keep up with the demand. The interior of the restaurant was clean and well-spaced; however, the walls could do with some art work as it's a bit devoid of personality.

Need to book a table outside in the summer and inside in the winter to get a good atmosphere. Really nice when eating and drinking outside during the warm evenings. Much advisable is to book early through the internet. Really easy to modify the change if you change your mind about your date. View menu

We had made a reservation at this restaurant and arrived on time on a Saturday afternoon, only to be disappointed to learn that the restaurant no longer offered lunch. The staff seemed unaware of our booking. The restaurant was empty when we arrived and the lady at the counter mentioned she was unable to access their emails.

Shame we were the only 2 customers that evening, at least up till 8.20 when we left. The food and service was good. Shame we were not asked if everything was OK. It was but it is a question that should be asked. The server was not rushed off his feet. As for the statement that the chef had run out of the bread for the Anti Pasti, so would Brioche be OK, that was bad. They were not busy and should have made sure, with limited menu, that they had everything before they start. (even keep a loaf in the freezer). These are constructive comments only.

"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."
