The Canary And Linnet

Went for dinner in the evening. Pub was a bit shabby but it is possible that it has changed hands since we were there back in March 2019. Food was average but service was O.K. We need to try it again. Pretty from the outside!

We used to be regulars but most have left and the place was empty when we reqcently visited.All the old pictures have been removed and the place lacks atmosphere. Added to that we felt cold as the heating was barely on. We ordered a bar snack that took ages to arrived and unassuming. Sadly gone downhill under the current landlord.

Stopped off on route home, felt very welcomed in this pleasant pub/restaurant. Food was good as well as service. New owners have only been in a couple of months (Aug19) and did say they plan to tidy the decor up once the summer had passed. Have it saved in our sat nav now so will be stopping again next time we're heading West or returning to Norfolk. Speisekarte ansehen

Poor over-priced food served here. Beef lasagne mostly sauce with little meat content and halved cherry tomatoes on top of greasy melted cheese The beer was cloudy and undrinkable so returned to the bar and the lemonade for the white wine spritzer was flat. Starter cutlery on the tables but no starters in the menu folder. Dis-organised, dated, poor menu choices and expensive. Avoid!

The welcoming bar staff allowed us to bring our dog inside to sit under the table while we enjoyed lunch. The chili and steak pie were delicious, especially when paired with a couple of pints. It was a relaxing dining experience. The restaurant also has a spacious dining room at the back, indicating it may get busy in the summer. With ample outdoor seating and a convenient car park, this is a great spot for a meal.

We have visited this restaurant several times in the past few weeks ever since the new owners took over, and we have been consistently pleased with each visit. We have enjoyed trying their ciders, beers, and wines during both lunchtime and evening meals. We have dined with family and as a couple, and each time the meals have been excellent with a wide variety to choose from. The portions are generous, and we always leave feeling satisfied. We highly recommend this restaurant. The setting is lovely, with a family of white peacocks in the garden. Speisekarte ansehen

I was excited to come here with friends and colleagues. It 's a place I 've passed many times. However, I was very disappointed with the food. Very few of the items were listed as coming with any vegetables at all (the scampi and peas were pretty much the only ones) so I asked about the chicken curry what sort of curry was it? I was told It 's just a mild curry with chicken. When it came, it was just that: plain white rice, chicken, and some kind of grey cream curry sauce on top. There were no vegetables or visible spice at all, and it tasted of very little. Not worth the money I spent at all.

Although I understand that the hospitality industry has been struggling and is in need of support, my experience at this restaurant was a complete disappointment. Despite the menu on their website stating that a burger would come with chips and other accompaniments, I received just a plain burger on a side plate. The burger was of poor quality, with soft buns from a supermarket and additional bacon and overcooked egg costing extra. The minimal serving of chips and a couple of onion rings came to nearly £15.00. The jacket potato with chilli con carne was mediocre, with no garnish as promised, and was also overpriced, as were the drinks. I am always willing to pay a higher price for quality fo...

It is sad when a place falls from what you remember to be something you hate. We liked the old Canary Linnet with it's big menu, outside benches and good value. This is why we stopped for lunch. My wife had ham, eggs and chips from the very limited menu. I had game pie, chips and peas. After a protracted wait for 2 relatively simple dishes they appeared. The pie was meat, potatoes, peas and a very thin and watery gravy with a flaky pastry lid modelled on a cumulo nimbus cloud, ie a foot thick, the peas and chips were skulking in it's shadow. The pastry tasted burnt on top. The meat was supposedly game, possibly ludo, maybe monopoly. Whatever it was it was cooked for so long it had the same t... Speisekarte ansehen
