"it was so good to go back to the parson woodforde today that allyson steve is at the tax. a so beautiful pub, recently reopened and worth a visit. lunch was absolutely excellent, the leber and speck was for dying. After we ate in the drayton old lodge at many occasions, we were thrilled to hear that this amazing couple had taken over this pub and gave us a reliable spot to catch up with friends. I could add that we have to travel there for an hour and half a time, but it is worth it. when the opportunity appears, we will certainly use the beautiful accommodation and then they can enjoy the full monty breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner! a beautiful greeting, especially for our labor, harvey, (ventilated in the bar area), which the experience as much as we enjoyed. thanks to allyson and her personal for such a nice lunch time, we will be back! especially when my favorite shiraz was reminded and produced at my arrival how good this is! I wish them all very best in their new venture."

"had a fantastic lunch with friends on the buck to celebrate a birthday, service was excellent, the burger was delicious, some had crabs and they said it was also very nice. the cherry brownie desert was worth the visit, just for it. the restaurant is very clean and welcoming staff are very nice and helpful best of all wheelchair friendly for me that is one. very recommend to give the buck at honingham an attempt."

"A real gem tucked away in this fairly small village. My wife and I called in for lunch on our day of arrival and were very impressed with the excellent and friendly service, the generous servings and the food quality. This initial experience prompted us to visit each morning of our four day break for breakfast rather than cook at our holiday cottage. This set us up for each day and we cannot recommend Cafe Verde too highly. Thank to the ladies who served us and to the chef."

"Barnham Broom is located in the middle of nowhere, and has the benefit of being home to two golf courses, a reasonably good gym/spa and the glorious Norfolk countryside. But rather that capitalise on those opportunities, Barnham Broom take the “captive market” method of pricing to a new level. Nobody goes to Barnham Broom for the food or drink, you go because of one of the aforementioned reasons. Maybe a golf trip, a spa break or just a stay in the Norfolk countryside. But once they have you, they know you have no choice but to pay whatever they want. The bar staff are genuinely embarrassed to charge the prices they do. After a round of golf, I was shocked that it would cost £5.95 for a simple pint of orange juice and lemonade! It’s frankly embarrassing and it leaves a very sour taste when attending what is a lovely venue. Having spoken to many golf members (past and present), they all share the same resentment that they are being ripped off, and the management think that “higher prices higher income” where in reality a fair price is likely to lead to more orders."

"I decided to surprise my daughter and take her for a deluxe spa break . We couldn’t fault the afternoon tea and massages at the spa these were brilliant . We were very excited about our evening meal but left feeling very deflated . On arrival no staff told us what we could have with our package, we received the wrong drinks menu. After around 20 minutes someone finally came over and asked if we wanted a drink. We ordered and asked for tap water too . One of the drinks arrived but the water and other one never did so we had to find a young bar man who was rushing about and ask him . He was lovely and went and got them for us . After a long time of waiting bread and something in a little pot was plonked on our table , no explanation what it was , we thought we had got someone else’s starter . Finally we ordered our starters it was lovely but no spoon for my daughters soup so again we had to search for staff , plates took absolutely ages to be collected, mains came finally after 1.5 hours. It was lovely but the atmosphere was bad as other customers were getting fed up of waiting too. Finally got dessert and after we finished we sat patiently waiting for our plates to be taken and bill given ,as a lot on the menu which we liked you had to pay extra for .I thought this was ridiculous thinking back how much this break had cost me . After staff walking past us and ignoring us and the empty plates I had had enough and went to find someone to put it on our room bill . This experience was not the lovely bday treat I had expected for my daughters 21st disappointing is an understatement!!!"
