| We were very disappointed. The starters wers said to be good by those who had them but the main course was a disappointment. Hand Carved Ham, eggs and hand cut chips turned out to be a smmal slice of smoked gammon steak - not hand carved ham and the cips were cold. The steak and kidney pudding, although apparently tasted ok was a suet crust pastry pie - it had been baked not steamed and the hot pot was runny and the cheese scone overdone - no potoatoes on the top so not really a hot pot! The desserts were well presented. We advised the waitress that the gammon was not as ordered and the recipient did not like smoked gammon either - she took it away and asked if she could get anything else but was declined but when the bill presented it had been charged for and was grudgingly refunded when attention drawn to this. Food served should be as described on the menu - not the chefs interpretation of the dish! The turkey, ham and apricot pie was very good. danda - 18 Oct 2008 13:44 |
| Menu looked good but we didn't stay as the beer range has taken a tumble. No Wherry eny more. Who prefers Shepherd Neame, which was in its place, or Deuchars IPA? Bit of a let down that, so we went to the Swan at Ringland down the road and found Wherry and other beers from the local Wolf brewery. This pub needs a shake up! GrahamH - 17 Aug 2008 18:18 |
| Returned to this pub as an occasional visitor to Norfolk/Norwich. I agree that the new owners are investing and making an effort. New decor in the bar is an improvement; quality wood flooring and better furniture. Found the wherry to be very well kept and very much enjoyed their Sunday roast.But it lacks something still. It was a hot sunny day yet noone was in the previously v busy garden. Was this because the grass was uncut/untidy and a no umbrellas to shade the tables? As we were hesitating about how to get some shade another couple walked up and gasped "it used to be so pretty". They left after one drink. The staff came out to ask us if we enjoyed the meal [which we did v much] but didn't pick up any of the rubbish (old napkins and general debris) on the patio that had clearly been around for days. And some of the tables and chairs have broken slats, and the hanging baskets still have last summer's dead plants in them. They really need a manager to get a grip and "show" the staff how to run the place as its not an attitude problem from them as far as I can see. Overall I would go back/continue to use this pub, but what a shame it doesn't do better, as it would not take much to improve such a lot (and justify the big money they have invested on the refurb I guess) GrahamH - 12 May 2008 11:46 |
| No complaints. from us we were there in December and found the Wherry very drinkable... as was the standard GK IPA... The food was great. Sea Bass with celeriac in a dill cream sauce, mange tout & vine tomatoes... near perfect in my opinion. my wife had the Beef fillet stroganoff with wild rice.. superb. thought we needed to add our say.... Just read it had closed for re-furb.. i will be back. Mikefinn - 20 Jan 2008 12:20 |
| I went when it first changed hands and it wasa nice to see a menu with real food, I went to go yesterday for dinner but it is closed for refurbishment. Hopefully they update the decor and keep the good food. I wish the new owners all the best. RJMillar - 20 Jan 2008 00:39 |
