   Good experience with service and location. Portions were excellent, but food a little on the cool side (alight to eat though). Excellent place, could do with a little refresh such as plants in pots and a lick of paint. Service was without problem, staff were polite and reasonably quick with service. Would recommend.

   We had a long wait at the bar to get drinks and sat outside. We then went inside and was seated at our table. After over 10 minutes of waiting, we realised no one was coming to bring a menu or ask if we wanted a drink, so I had to go and find a menu from the bar. We decided what we wanted and waited for around 15 minutes in the hope of someone taking our order. I gave up and went to the bar, but it was busy so there was another long wait to get served. After about 40 minutes a lady came to see if we wanted anything but I told her I’d gone to the bar, a vague apology was given, but they weren’t too bothered. The same process happened with the table near us. Not good. The roast came quickly, it was pricey but pretty good. We asked for the bill, after a long wait we realised they weren't bringing it so back to the bar to pay.

   Something went very wrong today! One and half hour wait for food, only to then be told there was no fish. Poorly managed. One person serving at bar. Loads of dirty glasses. Would I go back? Dunno!!!!

   Nice food but small portions and expensive for what you get in terms of quality and portion size, very busy and not enough staff although those staff working were brilliant and working very hard to get everyone served

   Beautiful location sadly let down by the quality of the food. Noche, bland and oily. Fish pie uninspiring served with a few chargrilled broccoli stems. Both dishes around the £18 mark was a few quid too much imo. Menu also not as shown on tbe website so don't go with your heart set on something.

   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
