   Nice establishment - beautiful setting. Food was average unfortunately. I opted for the fish and chips and it was ok but truthfully not the best. My partner had the Sunday roast - Chicken supreme. Again, very average but at £21 was not value for money sadly. Deserts were good - but again, a bit overpriced in comparison with a favourite place of ours, the Rising Sun at Coltishall. Service was not good Im afraid - Im a bit old fashioned and really dont like being referred to with my partner as "guys". This place is supposed to be a higher standard restaurant - not a McDonalds. In addition I had to keep asking for condiments and then the promised cream for my partners desert. That all said and done the overall experience was ok. Nothing that I would really slate them for. Maybe just need to tweak a few things. Id probably consider returning for a drink by the river in the future but not to eat.

   Great place to eat right on the Riverside, booked it after visiting the Camping shop down the road, and was not disappointed! 5* and will return

   Gorgeous setting, the food was fine but we have visited twice and both times had a wait of over 1.5 hours for food. With small (and very hungry) children, this was not ok. Staff were lovely and very apologetic but there just weren't nearly enough of them.

   Having had a really good experience last summer I was looking forward to a special Sunday lunch but unfortunately I was a little disappointed. Firstly my wife and I ordered two coffee's, when they arrived one was a lot colder than the other. The heating wasn't working and we had sit with coats on throughout the meal which wasn't throughout most comfortable experience. I know these issues arise but even owner came into the restaurant and said herself it's freezing in here but it nice cosy earlier in the morning but didn't seem to be able to sort it out. From my previous visit I had raved to wife how good the burger was so she ordered one but it was just a bit disappointing. Was told it came with coleslaw but didn't appear to have any and no crispy onions as advertised on the menu. I had the roast chicken which was a little dry and very few root veg but overall it was nice but at £21 perhaps a little expensive for the quality of meal. The service was really good and both cleanliness and decor is spot on.

   Food was excellent, had Sunday roast dinner. Couldn’t fault it. Veg was not over cooked so still had bite. Roast beef was still pink and so soft it melted. Roast potatoes were crispy. Unfortunately the service was shocking. We actually didn’t receive any service, we had to call the waiting staff over for everything as they didn’t come to our table once to check on us and the restaurant was freezing. We were so cold by the end and we wolfed our food because we didn’t want it getting cold because temperature in the restaurant was so cold. Such a shame as the food and location were great!

   Friendly welcome. Very quiet but the atmosphere was nice with a wood burner going. The salad leaves with my pate did not seem very fresh and the bread was not toasted. The pate was nice. The ham hock bon bons were nice but found a large chunk of bone in one. Unfortunately although on the menu, there was no fish of the day. Surprisingly there was no steak on the menu. The burger was nice but did not come with the dill pickle as stated on the menu and had to order a side salad as none came with the burger. The fish pie was nice as was the apple crumble. Hopefully things will pick up for them, but a few improvements are required.
