| Very pleasant pub in beautiful setting, with good beer. They let us take our drinks over the road to the staithe where we were having a picnic so didn't try the food so no comment. graham2 - 6 Aug 2008 21:04 |
| Probably one of the best pub restaurants in Norfolk! Stayed overnight here, drank at the bar and ate in the restaurant. I can't remember the last time we were served a meal of exceptional quality in such pleasant surroundings. Monkfish cheeks for a starter followed by the most delicious Venison. No pudding - just a plate of cheeses served with a tasty home-baked cheese bread and some crackers. We left the choice of wine to the chef. We weren't disappointed. The attentive and cheerful staff made the evening complete - such a change from experiences in other so-called gastro pubs where good food is served poorly. We retired to bed in a comfortable and quiet, well-appointed room with en-suite facilities. And no shocks in the morning when it came time to pay the bill after an adequate breakfast. We recommend the New Inn. nimrod169 - 13 Nov 2006 12:15 |
| Well what can I say, the present owners have obviously spent a kings ransom on renovating this establishment. A little too gastro for my liking, but nevertheless an improvement on previous years. Thats the good bit, as for the food - Well dreadful, is the only word I can think to describe the "Tempura Cod" I had yesterday. As far as I remember "Tempura Batter" is meant to be light almost translucent, thin in texture. I can see no logical reason the serve re-heated frozen fish with "Tempura" batter that is soggy and about a quarter of an inch thick! Lets face it Norwich, and Yarmouth are under 30 mins drive away, fresh fish is available every day, absolutley no need to go the frozen route. Ah I hear you say, its to save money! Well not so, two "Tempura" cod and chips plus two lime soda's (£2.50) per pint) was in excess of £23.00. Lime soda just for the record in Norwich is 50p a pint in my local, and yes its a gastro type pub. So, beautiful setting, but don't eat here, clueless in the kitchen............. anonymous - 2 Aug 2006 11:59 |
