It's good to leave great alone!

Following a recommendation by friends we decided to try it and we were not disappointed. We arrived 30 mins earlier than we would normally in order to get a table. The menu had a great choice and we settled for lamb shank and battered haddock which were very tasty, very well presented and excellent value. The service was good and friendly and the pub is in a lovely area of North Norfolk. "

The ale was very fine and my meal, chosen from a mouth-wateringly tempting menu of fresh and local ingredients was delivered promptly and was delicious. Highly recommended. "

pretty location. The garden is lovely. However the service is appalling and when we dared to enquire whether our meal was ready after
nearly two hours, we got a very rude answer. In
the end we left, but as it was the last evening of our holiday in Norfolk, we felt bitterly
disappointed, not to mention starving! It was
nearly ten o'clock by this time and we ended up
having cheese and biscuits.

The barman was rude and grumpy - desperately in need of attending a refresher course in friendliness and smiling - we then had to wait 1.5 hours for food and when it finally arrived it was v. disappointing. The saddest jacket potato with cheese you had ever seen (microwaved) and crab cakes which had never seen a crab,only the inside of a supermarket freezer. Such a shame but with a choice of some great pubs near by, there is absolutely no reason to go there again - only when there is a change in management (and chef). "

But there's another story. After waiting over an hour for a jacket potato (microwaved) and some fishcakes (factory mass produced) we asked if there was any chance of seeing lunch before 3pm. This seemingly harmless enquiry received an pretty off-hand "what's it to you" response. We were then treated to the vision of the kitchen staff having a sit-about & bit-of-a-chat with their mates in the garden. Two hours between arrival and departure for a quick jacket potato lunch - too long - no point in talking to the landlord, he didn't care. We left with the impression that this publican seemed to think there are plenty more punters who'll walk in the door so why bother with looking after the ones that are there. They have already paid, so what if they complain! Do yourself a favour & go to the Wiverton Bell. It's only a mile away but is miles better in service, food quality, attention to detail and interest in the people who are footing the bill.
