Having seen the excellent reviews we thought we would try it for a meal.
We didn't book in advance (as others have said I would recommend to) but fortunately they had a table for 2 available.
The menu list was perfect for both me and my wife with loads of options to choose from.
The staff were all brilliant, very attentive and helpful.
The food was amazing, tasty and well presented. We will definitely be back next time we visit the area. Although we will definitely book a table to be sure we can get in ?

Only popped in for a beer and watch a band in the garden. Was surprised how packed out it was. Really good atmosphere and wished we had got there a little earlier. Staff were great, band were really good and locals were very friendly and chatty. Really enjoyable afternoon and definately worth a visit when live music on. Didn't eat but all the food being served looked gorgeous.

Accomodated a large group of 13 of us for an evening meal. The service was excellent and the food was delicious, I can personally recommend the crab linguine. Kids menu was good too. Everyone enjoyed the deserts!

Driving back from Blakeley and the reviews for here were very good so decided to stop off for dinner. The food was amazing, we had the crab salad and crab linguine and they were both so nice. Finished off with a chocolate and orange cheesecake which again was delicious. All of the staff were very friendly and we would definitely recommend.

A mixed experience
A family dinner was a mixed experience depending on what we had each ordered. I was delighted with delicious wine and the quality of the seafood, but our son was disappointed with the home-made burger which was a bit grey and had large bits of onion (no good for a fussy teen). Professional staff and a warm welcome, just choose carefully. Would recommend.

In summary, if you're in the area then go to this pub and ensure you book as it is deservedly very busy. Sarah squeezed us into the restaurant on a packed Friday evening and the accommodating and fantastic service started from the booking right up to us finishing our meal. My daughters went for the haddock and chips and the pie of the day (chicken and leek) and I decided to push the boat out with the Cromer lobster platter. The food was absolutely perfect with a melt in the mouth moist haddock and crispy fries; a richly flavoured pie and a seafood platter that sates even a fish foodie like me. My daugthers decided on the sundae of the day and a home-made brownie, both of which were nicely balanced and not too sweet (I had to try a bit of both as they looked so good!). I went for a local amber ale and it worked perfectly with sea food. Even on a packed service (we were right at the end of service hence the empty restaurant in the photo) the staff were attentive and couldn't be more obliging. They also evidently work really well as a team, which says a great deal about how the pub is managed. Ambience is great as there are lots of cozy spaces around the pub so even though there were a lot of people there when we went, it always felt like you were in an intimate space with personal service. Car parking is generous but if you're local I'd recommend walking there. We walked from where we were staying in Overstrand and it was a nice way to both build up an appetite and work off a huge meal. I can't say enough to recommend this place and if we're back in Overstrand or Northrepps we're going here again.

Just not quite five stars but very close. We called in on a Sunday without booking and were told that's there was no roasts available. Whilst this is acceptable if they're busy it did wipe out a third of the menu. However we opted for a goats cheese salad and a ploughman's and it was top notch. My son's curry though was sub par and disappointing. The staff were friendly and helpful and the pub was good. Perhaps we didn't see it at it's best but give this place a go, it's got plenty going for it.
