I really wanted to like this venue, I am a bit of a food fanatic. We were greeted and sat at our table and it took a very long time before we ordered and longer until food arrived. I had the beef cheeks that really needed the parsnip purée to mask the saltiness of the cheeks.
The main was a pleasant chicken dish with vegetables.
The dessert was nice but I was left with a sense of disappointment that I didn’t really see bib gourmand quality food. I am reasonably experienced having had food at a total of 135 michelin stars.
Staff were more attentive to chatting to eachother at the counter.
My mocktail was insipid, it was supposed to have ginger and tonic in it. It was prepared by one of the seemingly junior staff and it was supposed to be carbonated but was flat. When I asked for it to be replaced the more experienced waitress agreed to change it but instructed me that it had been made to a set recipe and it was changed because of my personal taste! No, it was flat AND insipid nothing to do with my personal taste.
We had little engagement from staff and were ignored when we left, no passing comments as we left.
Shame, the food isn’t bad, main and dessert ok but let down by front of house.

Last night was faultless. The chicken was incredible and we were so lucky that you had some of the raspberry Bakewell left over from the night before which our amazing waitress went above and beyond so we could have it, it was every bit as good as we remembered. You got everything right and we will definitely be back.

This was a slice of perfection! From the front of house, to the chef who prepared the most amazing dishes. We enjoyed a taste of Norfolk. Various people had recommended this restaurant and we had never acted on it please try it for yourself it is brilliant!

We dined for Christmas Eve and ordered a mix of vegetarian and vegan food:
Mushroom, Spiced Cauliflower, Potatoes (made specially for us due to cross contamination in the fryer). Artichoke Risotto.
Their house bread rolls and hummus are delicious (and complimentary, very generous!).

Fantastic location for truly wonderful food and exceptional service.
The food is perfect and obviously of the highest quality. Service was quick, attentive and welcoming. Beautiful dining room with every little detail thought of. Loved the gluggle jugs for water! Everything from the fresh bread rolls to the thinnest pastry on desert was just perfect!

I brought my family to celebrate my daughters 22nd birthday, we took advantage of the restaurant month offer on this occasion, previously I have been and ordered from the full delights of the menu and also many years ago have had a set lunch too. Everything was perfect, my children had not experienced such dining before and were blown away by their three courses, my partner and I were also very pleased with our meals. Service was wonderful, food delicious and we will return, I am keen to try the taster menu so I think that may be the option for our next visit. How blessed I feel to live so close to such a fantastic restaurant! I feel certain that if I did not I would travel for the experience. Thank youThank you

This is a super restaurant with fantastic food. We enjoyed a family dinner here and honestly can’t praise it enough.
When you order, you’re able to choose from various menus on your table (some of which are very good value).
The service speed for food and drinks was perfect for the occasion and the staff were really friendly. I had the Roots menu, which was honestly amazing and such great value. The filet of beef was just exquisite! Others on my table also really enjoyed the venison starter, the chicken liver parfait and the banoffee soufflé.
We will absolutely be returning to this restaurant and would recommend to all. I think the meal I had could have been star worthy – it was definitely on par, if not better than, other starred restaurants in the area.

This was my second visit – for my wicked step mother’s birthday present! The food and service are very good. The menu of the month (our choice) offers good value for the quality of the meal – which is excellent. We didn’t choose off the a la carte, the price point suggests large portions we did not need at lunchtime.

I could not fault any part of the dining experience. From the friendly welcome, comfortable seating and spotless table setting to the helpful (and not mansplaining) guide of the menu variations it was the perfect start to a lovely lunch. I had the pork fillet and mushroom starter which was butter soft and full of flavour, presented beautifully to whet my appetite. On to the cheese beignet with cavolo nero, butternut squash and mushrooms. The combination of textures and flavours were sublime and once again the presentation and portion size was perfect. So much so I opted for a dessert, chocolate mousse, white chocolate ice cream dressed with honeycomb and chocolate shards. The finishing touch was handmade chocolates with Happy Birthday written in chocolate sauce on the plate as a surprise for my lunch guest. Very much enjoyed and appreciated. Give your taste buds a treat and visit. I know I’ll go again.
