    Yet again another living meal at byfords. This particular meal was to celebrate our 8yr olds birthday. Staff were great as was the food and overall meal. It’s why we come back to Byfords’s time and time again.

    Very cosy and warm setting next to a wood burner, perfect on a cold December day when we visited. The service and the afternoon tea was spot on , probably the best we have had so far in Norfolk.

    Lovely place/venue. Big queue for cafe and a bit chaotic but we had booked so grabbed the waitress who took us to our table. If we hadn’t asked we would have been waiting for ages! Food was really lovely, our table was cozy and quiet, waiter was sweet, no issues. Would go there again.

    Extremely poor service from one individual member of staff - had an issue with the champagne glass which we had filled to which no apology and said would check it out - came back with an empty glass with no apology - didn’t say anything and tried to walk off before we shouted her back to get it refilled with what she had clearly thrown away and rinsed the glass out! Very poor I’m afraid

    High tea for 1 vegetarian and 3 normal. All fine with the 3 tier stand but the hot elements first came as 4 standard, had to ask for the vegetarian. Food was good, service was a bit lacking
