"Seems to be going downhill which is a real shame. We visited yesterday and the service was appalling. Our meals were pretty much thrown down on the table and the waitress walked away. There was an empty glass right in front of her nose, but no offer of getting another drink. We flagged down another waitress to ask for salt, sauce and drinks. She didn’t seem interested either. Our drinks arrived 10 minutes later but went to the table next to us. When the guests explained that they didn’t order them, the waiter took them away. He didn’t check to see if they were for anyone else. We again flagged down a grumpy waitress to explain the situation and she reordered the drinks. Another 5 minutes and they arrived. The waitress said she’d put through a large coke rather than a small and hoped that “would be ok”. She knew she had made a mistake but there was no attempt to rectify it or apologise. Coke costs pennies so why not just charge us for a small? We were too thirsty to make a big deal out of it. The food was ok, not that anyone checked. It could have been awful and nobody would know. The chips were majorly over cooked and the roast barely had any gravy though. At no point did we see a manager so no wonder the standards are so poor. We had to go to the bar to pay the bill as the usual card machine apparently wasn’t working. Again, nobody was interested if we’d had a good meal or not. When we left we walked past no less than threes waitresses and none of them said thank you or goodbye. We’ve been going here for years, but I don’t think we’ll go again now. Such a shame."

"We arrived without a booking, hot from the North Norfolk coast, and of course dressed accordingly but not scruffy. We were earlyish and there was just a couple of tables occupied and a little fuss was made before deciding they had a table for two. The restaurant never got busy whilst we were there. We ordered a couple of drinks whilst looking at the menu and decided, having previously seen their status as a pub of the year finalist that we would have a full meal. We ordered scallops, and my wife a fetta plum tart as starters and some wine for our main course with pan fried duck and monkfish for wifee. The starters arrived and after having killed a wasp with a napkin we really enjoyed both starters and i asked the waitress to remove the dead wasp and thank the chef. I then killed wasp no 2 in another napkin. Our bottle of wine for my duck arrived ok. The mains arrived and my duck tasted and smellled as if it had been smoked heavily! My wifes monkfish seemed good despite it swimming in a large pool of risotto but the large prawns served with it were not cleaned and that finished my wifes excursion with her main! I asked the waitress whether the duck was smoked and she replied no, it is pan fried I then found a largish piece of bacon on the plate and of course that was what was over powering and killing any taste from the duck! I do not, ever, have smoked food, and therefore that was the end of my excursion with my main too! Having killed wasp no 3. I asked for the bill and gave what I believed was polite and constructive criticism to the waitress including about the wine glasses which were way too thick glass and like drinking from a mug. So we left both mains and asked for the bill. The waitresses feed back to the manageress was they didn 't like it so all of the distinct feedback I gave her was wasted and not passed on which was sad! No offer of a reduction on the bill was offered and I did not ask for any, although some sort of gesture for acting as a insect destroyer, and two mostly uneaten mains and thick glass mugs, the half bottle left of the wine might have helped from the £124 bill.. Never again although on a last positive note both waitresses were polite and friendly. Such a shame and I could still taste the thick smoked bacon on the way home, uugh!"
